1
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: All right, guys, it's Friday. Welcome in. It's time for

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:06,000
Total Bass.

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,279
Speaker 2: We've made it to the weekend, almost the final show

4
00:00:09,279 --> 00:00:11,599
of the week. If you're new to this show, We're

5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,119
here Monday through Friday, every day non am Eastern to

6
00:00:15,199 --> 00:00:18,320
talk baseball with you guys for an hour right here

7
00:00:18,359 --> 00:00:21,079
on the Wayser Talk YouTube channel. So we kind of

8
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,399
started the show backstage, and I kind of was like, oh,

9
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,920
maybe we should go live and talk about this instead

10
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,719
of just the three of us, you know, without doing

11
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,759
it on air. So we're gonna start with Braves Mets

12
00:00:32,759 --> 00:00:36,399
Brian Leonard. I just grab my tickets for the Syracuse

13
00:00:36,439 --> 00:00:39,200
Mets game tomorrow night. I'm gonna go see Jonah Tong

14
00:00:39,359 --> 00:00:42,520
pitch in What If the Mets Are Smart? Will be

15
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,799
his only appearance in Syracuse because they're on the road

16
00:00:45,799 --> 00:00:48,560
the next two weeks. And if this guy is not

17
00:00:48,759 --> 00:00:53,000
on that big league roster by September fifteenth, seeing what

18
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,399
they've got with him as someone that could potentially help

19
00:00:56,439 --> 00:00:58,920
this year, that's a big problem in my opinion, because

20
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,240
the Mets have problems right now. Suddenly a team that

21
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,079
was twenty games over five hundred is now battling it

22
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,120
out for the final wild card spot, and I'm a

23
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:11,040
big believer that they need to lean into these young

24
00:01:11,079 --> 00:01:13,920
starters or they might not make the playoffs this year.

25
00:01:14,359 --> 00:01:18,079
It is a massive series for them in Atlanta starting tonight.

26
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,120
How are you seeing this one Mets briefs.

27
00:01:20,879 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, McLean getting his second start with the mess looked

28
00:01:24,079 --> 00:01:28,920
really good in the first one. Unfortunately, I think when

29
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,959
a right hander comes up and has success first time out,

30
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,280
especially if he's a todded prospect. I believe he's number

31
00:01:34,359 --> 00:01:37,599
sixty four coming into the season in Major League Baseball.

32
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,319
He was a Mets number three prospect. When they have

33
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,719
success right out of the gate, puts a lot of

34
00:01:42,719 --> 00:01:48,079
pressure on him and it also makes the betting line

35
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,200
a little bit valuable. Here for Atlanta, they got Wentz going,

36
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,040
Who's a lefty, and we're seeing Wentz right now at

37
00:01:56,079 --> 00:01:58,519
about a one ten favorite total eight and a half

38
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:03,000
to the over. I think McLain's the real deal. The

39
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,439
problem is, how do you trust this Mets team. They

40
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,120
continue to find ways to lose, and we talked about this.

41
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,360
They left the pitcher in too long again once again

42
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:19,039
Mania yesterday, and the coaching staff is doing a terrible

43
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,719
job on this team. If you ask me, I just

44
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,280
I just don't think they're They're doing well. They've got

45
00:02:23,319 --> 00:02:25,280
all this big money into this team, a lot of

46
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,800
veteran players. They should not be losing the games that

47
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:29,520
they've been losing.

48
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: The Reds wrongly.

49
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,439
Speaker 3: I believe one game behind them now in the last

50
00:02:33,439 --> 00:02:35,800
wildcard spot, and I'm rooting for Cincinnati. I grew up

51
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,680
in Cleveland. The Reds were in the same uh, same state,

52
00:02:39,879 --> 00:02:42,199
So we'll see how it goes. The Mats were much

53
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,240
better than what they've been playing. I'm very disappointed in

54
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,639
the way they've been going. But McClain against Wentz here.

55
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,400
Wentz is a guy that really has been a reliever

56
00:02:51,719 --> 00:02:54,120
for much of his career. Came over, I believe, from

57
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,680
Detroit to Atlanta. He's looked pretty good so far in

58
00:02:59,439 --> 00:03:02,759
the starting rotation. McLean comes in just a one game.

59
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,000
He threw five and a third struck out eight one

60
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,680
point one to three whip expected. The array was two

61
00:03:08,719 --> 00:03:11,039
point zh six excuse me, two point eight six in

62
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,879
that game. He does throw six pitches, which is is

63
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,840
rare for you know, a young guy like that, and

64
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,280
his four seemer which is at ninety five point five

65
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,120
only throws ten percent of the time, so you got

66
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,639
to like that. I think he's the real deal. I

67
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,439
think he will he will perform very well for them.

68
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:31,599
I'm just afraid the expectation is so high after that

69
00:03:31,719 --> 00:03:35,280
first game. Joey Wentz four point seven to two, e

70
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,400
RA four point nine expected one point three eight whip

71
00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:43,360
great extension ninety third percentile, but his average eggs and

72
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,280
veloss is only the twelf percent tle walk grade fourteenth,

73
00:03:46,719 --> 00:03:50,000
our hit twenty third. He only throws four pitches in

74
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,680
the change. He only throws one percent of the time,

75
00:03:51,719 --> 00:03:54,520
so basically he's a three pitch pitcher, with his four

76
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,639
seemer being the number one pitch throws at forty six

77
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,639
percent of the time. That's always a good concern for me,

78
00:04:00,719 --> 00:04:03,599
especially when you're going against a veteran team like the Mets.

79
00:04:04,719 --> 00:04:06,280
Your total is eight and a half to the over

80
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:09,680
Here in Atlanta's usually a pretty good hitting ballpark. Let me

81
00:04:09,719 --> 00:04:15,560
take a look at the park factors for today. Yeah,

82
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,120
it's it's basically playing a true even It's like minus

83
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,879
one percent overall for runs. So I would expect this

84
00:04:22,959 --> 00:04:25,319
to be a high scoring game, even though the Mets

85
00:04:25,319 --> 00:04:31,120
bullpen should be great, but we will see eight and

86
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,959
a half here. I kind of like the over here.

87
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,360
The Mets have not been that great of a hitting team.

88
00:04:37,319 --> 00:04:39,680
Off and on. They've done really well that they do bad.

89
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,319
They're very consistent. But if I had to play this,

90
00:04:42,519 --> 00:04:44,800
I would play the over here. Getting nine runs, we'll

91
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:45,639
get you that victory.

92
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,519
Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't have a big read on McLean. Isn't

93
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,879
it interesting though, remember way back before the All Star

94
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,920
break when I went on a ramp about how the

95
00:04:56,959 --> 00:05:01,720
Brewer season is over that in that the Mets beat them,

96
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:07,279
and since that series, the Mets have gone plummeted downhill.

97
00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:10,560
I said right during my rant that they're a World

98
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:14,399
Series contending team, They're far from it now, and the

99
00:05:14,439 --> 00:05:18,240
Brewers have World Series aspirations at this point. So what

100
00:05:18,319 --> 00:05:24,279
a different trajectory for these two teams, just opposite directions.

101
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,759
Mets are spiraling terrible coaching. I'm not real high on

102
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:33,319
the Brewers coaching either, but look, the Brewers are smashing it,

103
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,480
but the Mets are smashing it right now too. I

104
00:05:35,519 --> 00:05:37,600
got the Mets rank number three in current form and

105
00:05:37,639 --> 00:05:40,199
I got the Braves ranked two in current forms, so

106
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,879
I certainly would concur with an over in this but

107
00:05:44,079 --> 00:05:46,519
the Mets bullpen is not performing very well where the

108
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:51,439
Braves bullpen is, so that would kind of I don't

109
00:05:51,439 --> 00:05:53,720
have a read on mcclaim, but I do have a

110
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,879
read on Wentz. He's had four starts where he pitched

111
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,879
over five innings and he only got blown up in

112
00:05:58,879 --> 00:06:02,560
one of them. That was against the aforementioned Brewers, So

113
00:06:03,079 --> 00:06:06,720
I have a little faith in wins. I would take

114
00:06:06,759 --> 00:06:09,639
the Atlanta Braves team total over perhaps in this one.

115
00:06:11,399 --> 00:06:12,800
That would be the way I would go. I haven't

116
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:13,879
played it yet, though.

117
00:06:17,879 --> 00:06:19,879
Speaker 2: There's a good chance I have this one up for sale,

118
00:06:20,439 --> 00:06:21,959
but if I can find if I end up with

119
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,680
another play, I'll probably put the other play up for sale.

120
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,120
So I'm just gonna give it to you, Mets four percent.

121
00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:30,720
Client play will be my parlay legue and listen. I

122
00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:33,160
agree with so something Brian said, and now I can't

123
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:34,800
remember if we were talking or if.

124
00:06:34,759 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: He said it on the show. I haven't had enough

125
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,079
caffeine yet this morning.

126
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 2: But he's right. The Mets are. It's the coaching that's

127
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:43,240
a problem.

128
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: Now. If they asked me to coach the team, which

129
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:46,560
they're not going to do.

130
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,959
Speaker 2: But I am right here in their you know, in Syracuse,

131
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000
I could be at the Triple A Ballpark in a

132
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:52,519
few minutes.

133
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:54,959
Speaker 1: I'd be leaning into the young pitching.

134
00:06:55,319 --> 00:06:57,759
Speaker 2: I really think that that's the Mets path to victories

135
00:06:57,879 --> 00:06:59,680
is leaning into the young starters that they have in

136
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,199
their organization and taking some of these guys that have

137
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,399
under chieved, underachieved in the starter role and and turning

138
00:07:06,399 --> 00:07:08,560
them into long relievers and just being like, hey, like,

139
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,560
we're still very much in the mixed TV you said

140
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,600
the Mets were a contender, said they're not anymore. I

141
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,360
somewhat disagree with that, Like there's still a lot of

142
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,319
of season left, Like, if this team figures it out

143
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:21,279
over the next couple of weeks, the Mets are still

144
00:07:21,399 --> 00:07:23,959
very much a contender, and I think their path to

145
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,160
do that is to lean into these guys that the

146
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,040
league doesn't know much about, like a Nolan MacLean, who

147
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,079
I think my guy Colin Gregory in the chat was

148
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,000
like he's the real deal.

149
00:07:32,079 --> 00:07:35,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, like this he's gonna be very good now.

150
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,319
Speaker 2: To Bryan's point, could could he come but could he

151
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,199
get hit at some point? Like is he gonna come

152
00:07:41,279 --> 00:07:43,839
up and just not give anything up for you? Know,

153
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,800
probably at some point, but I wouldn't. I want to

154
00:07:46,839 --> 00:07:48,759
be surprised if he has a second good start here.

155
00:07:48,959 --> 00:07:50,879
He looked really good at his debut, He's been great

156
00:07:50,879 --> 00:07:54,079
at the Triple A level. He's his stuff.

157
00:07:53,759 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: Is very good. Why why not?

158
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,959
Speaker 2: Why can't he he shut a Braves team down that's

159
00:07:59,040 --> 00:07:59,959
nine games out yet.

160
00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: You know what? You know what's funny about the Braves.

161
00:08:02,199 --> 00:08:04,399
Speaker 2: They've played as good as they've played, there's still nowhere

162
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,720
near being into the in the mix. I think that's

163
00:08:07,759 --> 00:08:09,959
gonna start wearing on a team at some point with

164
00:08:09,959 --> 00:08:12,720
with veteran guys like they have, like they've played as

165
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,839
good as they could play, there's still nowhere near being

166
00:08:14,879 --> 00:08:17,399
in contention. I still think you're gonna see the Braves

167
00:08:17,399 --> 00:08:19,319
sort of mentally check out at some point. I'm not

168
00:08:19,319 --> 00:08:23,720
saying it's here, but I do think that they they will.

169
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,240
Colin said, thanks for the confirmation. Going to up my

170
00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:27,879
bet now is my biggest lean already.

171
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:28,199
Speaker 1: Yeah.

172
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 2: I I'm like I said, I'm still a believer in

173
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,080
the Mets, and I'm gonna lean into the young pitching

174
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,159
because I really like McLean. On the other side, Joey

175
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,559
Wentz is fine, but like what they've been getting out

176
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,919
of Wentz is unrealistic. I think to think he's just

177
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,200
gonna give you six seven innings of one run ball

178
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,679
and a lot of these starts. I mean, I don't

179
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,679
mind him as like a guy that like comes out

180
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,200
of the bullpen for three innings and shuts a team

181
00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:55,720
down one time through, but like some of these outings

182
00:08:56,159 --> 00:08:59,399
are just not like the Brewers game the TV brought

183
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,600
up is what I I kind of more expect from

184
00:09:01,639 --> 00:09:03,919
Wentz as a starter, where he gets you know, maybe

185
00:09:03,919 --> 00:09:05,720
he goes six innings, he's gonna give up like that

186
00:09:05,799 --> 00:09:08,919
one gave up five runs. The Rangers game he pitched

187
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,039
UF four and a third gave up four runs. That's

188
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:13,600
kind of where I have him as a starter. If

189
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,399
you're gonna throw him in for three innings, Yeah, he

190
00:09:15,399 --> 00:09:17,480
can wipe a team out for three innings, but as

191
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,240
a starter, I still think he gives something up.

192
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: And I'm looking at the teams. He didn't give anything

193
00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:25,600
up to the Royals. Well, they don't hit lefties the Marlins.

194
00:09:25,799 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 2: Okay, Marlins can be hit or miss right like the Marlins,

195
00:09:28,279 --> 00:09:29,720
sometimes they hit, sometimes they don't.

196
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,799
Speaker 1: And the Guardians, who couldn't be worse right like, that

197
00:09:33,159 --> 00:09:34,240
lineup is atrocious.

198
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna pump the Brakes here on Joey Wentz

199
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,039
a little bit. I think the Mets can get to him,

200
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,879
and anything strong for McLean is gonna put this team

201
00:09:41,919 --> 00:09:45,159
in position to win, and maybe they'll they'll luck their

202
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:46,840
way into a win at the end of the game.

203
00:09:46,919 --> 00:09:49,159
Like they've had leads, They've been right there at the

204
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:50,919
end of some of these games, can't get across the

205
00:09:50,919 --> 00:09:53,799
finish line. But I do think that changes as well.

206
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,159
There's too many good relievers for it not to. So

207
00:09:56,279 --> 00:09:58,840
Mets client play and the first leg of our parlay

208
00:09:58,840 --> 00:09:59,200
go ahead.

209
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 3: Brian, Yeah, Riley. They have mentioned that he is having surgery,

210
00:10:04,159 --> 00:10:07,279
he will not be back this year, that he's been

211
00:10:07,279 --> 00:10:10,399
out for a while, but still that hurts him and

212
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,320
it would not shock me if some of the other

213
00:10:12,399 --> 00:10:15,200
veteran players for the Braves as the season goes on,

214
00:10:15,799 --> 00:10:19,360
get less playing time. That said, if the Braves are

215
00:10:19,399 --> 00:10:21,000
going to get up for any games, it'll be against

216
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,879
the Phillies and the Mets. Those are the two teams

217
00:10:22,919 --> 00:10:25,600
that are the big rivels and in the division. So

218
00:10:26,519 --> 00:10:30,879
that'll come later, but right now, the Mets and it's

219
00:10:30,879 --> 00:10:32,120
for the Mets and the play If the Mets get

220
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:33,759
in the playoff, nobody's gonna want to play the I'm

221
00:10:33,759 --> 00:10:36,879
just telling you that right now. Everybody's rooting for Cincinnati

222
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,360
to get there because Cincinnati, I think, is without the

223
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,840
playoff experience, without the veteran experience, they won't have as

224
00:10:43,919 --> 00:10:46,919
much success in the playoffs. So but a good luck

225
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,399
on that. I won't be involved in that one myself.

226
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 2: So it looks like it's Colin and I and no

227
00:10:53,279 --> 00:10:55,399
one else. That's fine, Colin and I will bet the

228
00:10:55,399 --> 00:10:58,720
Mets tonight. There is some serious Like I always like

229
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,759
laugh when it's like someone's like, Adam must have a

230
00:11:01,759 --> 00:11:03,720
relative on the team. I gotta be honest, I could

231
00:11:03,759 --> 00:11:05,879
care less about any of these thirty teams. Like that's

232
00:11:05,879 --> 00:11:08,639
the one thing when you grow up in Albany, New York,

233
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:13,320
we don't have a team, so it's like you kind

234
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:14,759
of just become a baseball fan, like a lot of

235
00:11:14,759 --> 00:11:17,360
people become Yankees fans, but like, I never really had

236
00:11:17,399 --> 00:11:20,919
a team. Now, the reason I feel like I probably

237
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,440
am sharper than the market on a guy like Nolan

238
00:11:23,519 --> 00:11:27,080
McLain is because I now live thirty minutes from Syracuse,

239
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,600
and I've watched him at the triple A level, probably

240
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,159
more than the books have. So guys get called up,

241
00:11:32,159 --> 00:11:34,080
and I feel like the books kind of don't know

242
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,879
how to price them the first couple times around. I'm

243
00:11:36,919 --> 00:11:40,679
willing to bet on the thought that he is better

244
00:11:40,759 --> 00:11:44,720
than the average person coming up. I think his ceiling

245
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,120
is potentially like number one, number two type guy. I

246
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,480
think I saw something that sny tweeted out about, like

247
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,559
the spin rate on his slider or his curveball was

248
00:11:55,639 --> 00:11:58,080
like one of the highest in the league this year

249
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,399
in his debut or something like that. Have to go

250
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,480
dig up that tweet. Listen stuff like that. The books

251
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,080
are reactive to guys getting called up. Okay, that is

252
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,799
probably the biggest edge you will find Benning major League Baseball,

253
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,360
which is a tough sport to find an edge TV,

254
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,000
and I'll find edges in Korea, Japan, Tripaa.

255
00:12:17,519 --> 00:12:19,879
Speaker 1: The edges are more pronounced there. In the MLB.

256
00:12:20,279 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 2: The books are very good, So I feel like you

257
00:12:22,159 --> 00:12:24,159
have to take advantage of stuff like this, and I'm

258
00:12:24,159 --> 00:12:25,879
going to try to take advantage of it tonight. So

259
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,919
listen if you're with me on the Mets grade. If not,

260
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,360
doesn't matter to me. I'll be on the Mets regardless. Okay,

261
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,799
let's go back to another big game. I think we

262
00:12:36,879 --> 00:12:37,519
got this one.

263
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: Well.

264
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 2: I think Brian got this one right yesterday and I

265
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,399
said there might be some late runs and there was

266
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,480
Red Sox Yankees got over at the end. And I

267
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,879
believe Brian Lanard that you kind of liked over there.

268
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,000
How about Roman Anthony. I don't think that ball is

269
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,919
landed yet. I don't know what Yeri de los Santos

270
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,879
was thinking when he threw that pitch, but that was

271
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,039
just an explanation point that I believe put the game over.

272
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,240
In the top of the ninth inning, Red Sox take

273
00:13:03,279 --> 00:13:06,120
the opener. Do the Yankees with Max Freed on the

274
00:13:06,159 --> 00:13:07,240
mountainous back today?

275
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's I had somebody go into the chat later

276
00:13:12,159 --> 00:13:14,559
on of the day and talking about it, and he

277
00:13:14,639 --> 00:13:16,919
mentioned the wind was blown in a little bit. I says, yeah,

278
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,080
that that was probably enough to keep me off of it.

279
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,399
I liked it. Just about everything I liked on yesterday's

280
00:13:21,399 --> 00:13:26,679
show work except for my free play cost us a parlay.

281
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,919
But yeah, we had a really good day overall. Just

282
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,200
about everything we liked cash. But yeah, this is a

283
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,799
different game today. I like the Red Sox in this one.

284
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,039
Anytime these two get together, for the most part, I'd

285
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:44,600
like to play the underdogs. And since the second half started,

286
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,720
Brian bell Bo has been so much better than Max Freid.

287
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,519
Max Fraid has been a bad picture the second half

288
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:59,799
of the season, and yet he's taking money after what

289
00:13:59,879 --> 00:14:03,679
I thought was a high overnightline of one seventy and

290
00:14:03,919 --> 00:14:08,000
I'm seeing, you know, up to one ninety in some places.

291
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,720
I don't understand that one at all. I have been

292
00:14:11,919 --> 00:14:15,919
very much interested in the underdog here. Brian Bao three

293
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,639
point two three ERA four point four to one expected.

294
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,960
Granted he's due for some negative regression that tells you

295
00:14:22,039 --> 00:14:25,639
that his whip is one point twenty six. His whip

296
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,440
rate is low, his strike out rate is low, but

297
00:14:28,519 --> 00:14:30,960
he does throw six different pitches, although the slider just

298
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,720
one percent of the time, his four seamer only throws

299
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,840
sixteen percent of the time in his league average. But

300
00:14:36,919 --> 00:14:40,919
when you go go with the Max Freid, his numbers

301
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,519
were fantastic early in the season, they have not been

302
00:14:44,559 --> 00:14:46,600
nearly as good as of late. In fact, let me

303
00:14:46,679 --> 00:14:49,519
get to uh, let me look that up here on

304
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:55,200
baseball reference another great website out there. At least take

305
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,360
a look at what he's done it is of late,

306
00:15:00,399 --> 00:15:03,840
since let's say, let's go back his last five starts,

307
00:15:04,799 --> 00:15:08,759
give up four earned runs, two earned runs, four earned runs,

308
00:15:08,799 --> 00:15:13,440
four earned runs, seven earned runs, and he had only

309
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,440
once has he gone more than four and a third

310
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,360
inning or probably could be five and a third innings.

311
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,559
He is just not being good. Everybody thinks he's going

312
00:15:20,639 --> 00:15:23,919
to bounce back. It would not surprise me if he

313
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,720
goes on the il. He does not pitch well in

314
00:15:26,799 --> 00:15:30,240
this game. Here. His stats on the season would be

315
00:15:30,279 --> 00:15:32,720
pretty good, but all that happened early three point two

316
00:15:32,799 --> 00:15:36,080
six cra, three point sixty five expected one point one

317
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,759
two whips, so his regression is a little bit negative.

318
00:15:38,759 --> 00:15:42,799
Here he throws a lot of different pitches. He throws

319
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,679
seven different pitches and all the slider only two percent

320
00:15:45,679 --> 00:15:48,120
of the time. But or it could be the slurve.

321
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,480
But as they got an s L and SI, so

322
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,799
it's probably the slurb But regardless, he is not pitched

323
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,480
well as of late, and there's no way he should

324
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,399
be in this price range. Let's take a look at

325
00:16:02,399 --> 00:16:04,600
the first five here and see if we can make

326
00:16:04,639 --> 00:16:10,960
something out of this for Boston. Let's go team. Let's

327
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,679
take a quick look at the team total. Boston is

328
00:16:13,679 --> 00:16:16,480
sitting here. Team total in the game of three and

329
00:16:16,559 --> 00:16:22,919
a half even money, I want Boston. I put that

330
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:28,639
down as my parlay, thinking Boston team total over three

331
00:16:28,679 --> 00:16:33,879
and a half and that's minus one ten. That's crazy,

332
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,600
especially you talked about the way Boston young hitters are

333
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,200
playing now. They brought in, you know, passed off from

334
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:45,639
the Washington Nationals. Is your starting starting first basement against lefty?

335
00:16:45,879 --> 00:16:48,519
He'll probably come off the bench here. But this Boston

336
00:16:48,519 --> 00:16:51,200
team's got a lot of depth offensively. And I'm just

337
00:16:51,279 --> 00:16:54,200
not a big believer in freed and normally I pay

338
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,519
a lot of attention to these lid moves and I

339
00:16:57,639 --> 00:17:01,480
unless there's injuries out there that I haven't read about yet,

340
00:17:01,879 --> 00:17:04,599
why would I not play Boston here? This is kind

341
00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:05,839
of a crazy line if you ask me.

342
00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, guys, I'm pimping tonight. It's Friday night in Japan,

343
00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:15,640
and I won my only Major League Baseball play yesterday,

344
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,799
which was the Royals. I figured they would come back

345
00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:23,079
because they were the better team, and I won both

346
00:17:23,079 --> 00:17:26,079
of my KBO plays tonight, So I'm feeling good, and

347
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,839
I'm not drinking fireball, but I did drink fireball before

348
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,880
the show. I just can't do it in front of you.

349
00:17:32,319 --> 00:17:38,640
So regarding this game, I'm gonna have to go against

350
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,039
Brian here. I like the Yankees a lot. Here. I

351
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,599
like him for two reasons. One is the way Freed

352
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,160
has pitched against the Red Sox in his career, really

353
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,720
good numbers against them in forty eight bats against, a

354
00:17:50,799 --> 00:17:54,240
one to seventy five average and a six seventy seven ops.

355
00:17:54,279 --> 00:17:56,119
I like that a lot. And he's a pretty good

356
00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,119
home pitcher as well. I agree with Brian though, and

357
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,880
my numbers agree with Brian that BeO is actually a

358
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,920
better pitcher than Freed. I do agree with that because

359
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,000
the numbers show it, and his expected numbers much better

360
00:18:09,079 --> 00:18:13,119
than Freed's. Actually, his numbers against the Yankee batters are

361
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,960
fairly good, so it's not of a high confidence play.

362
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,079
But the second reason I like it is because the

363
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:26,759
way they lost yesterday. I just they're just finding ways

364
00:18:26,799 --> 00:18:29,680
to lose, and their bullpen is more talented than this.

365
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,519
Luke Weaver is not as bad as he's been pitching,

366
00:18:33,519 --> 00:18:37,480
but man, he's been bad. I think he's actually a

367
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,039
good picture. Though I don't know what's going on over there.

368
00:18:40,079 --> 00:18:43,160
Williams was a great pitcher until he came to New York.

369
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,880
I don't know what's going on, but I think they

370
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,640
have too much talent in their bullpen, and I do

371
00:18:47,799 --> 00:18:51,799
even with all the blow ups and all of the errors.

372
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,880
I mean, you got guys throwing the ball into space

373
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,119
on double plays. You know, it's like, what are you doing?

374
00:19:00,079 --> 00:19:02,880
But I still think I still think Freed will hold

375
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,680
him down if you can't. If you can't put balls

376
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,559
into the into the field, then the Yankees can't screw

377
00:19:09,599 --> 00:19:12,160
it up. So I kind of like the Yankees here.

378
00:19:12,839 --> 00:19:15,200
Not a huge confidence play, but I think I think

379
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:16,799
they're gonna take this one. At least.

380
00:19:19,279 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go back right to kind of my opinion yesterday,

381
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,119
and I won't I won't break the time.

382
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:26,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you guys both have your thing.

383
00:19:27,079 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say over again, I don't see why there

384
00:19:29,279 --> 00:19:32,519
wouldn't be runs in this game. Again, eighteen hits in

385
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,960
yesterday's game, Yet there really wasn't a big inning. Every

386
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,039
inning was like every scoring inning was like one run.

387
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,400
And like I said, it took the Roman Anthony to

388
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,680
run seven hundred foot homer, which was awesome. You should

389
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,359
go if you haven't seen that, just go watch it

390
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,400
like ten times on repeat. I think I've watched it

391
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,160
twenty times already, and I wouldn't surprise be surprised Brian

392
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,039
if he gets one a little high and tight tonight

393
00:19:56,599 --> 00:19:59,160
for that bat flip. He just kind of threw the

394
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,240
b and discussed to how far he hit that ball

395
00:20:01,319 --> 00:20:04,079
last night. But the reason that's important is that put

396
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,720
the game over, and I feel like it barely went over,

397
00:20:06,759 --> 00:20:09,240
but the game itself had eighteen hits, so.

398
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: There was more scoring.

399
00:20:10,559 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 2: And then you talk about look at the guys that

400
00:20:12,759 --> 00:20:16,119
came out of the bullpen last night, Chapman, Whitlock, Matts

401
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:22,160
Weisser for Boston, the Yankees used Devaull, Lighter Weaver, a

402
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,759
lot of bullpen arms used last night. So I want

403
00:20:24,759 --> 00:20:26,759
to be surprised. And you're getting that eight and a

404
00:20:26,799 --> 00:20:28,880
half number, which is so important when it comes to

405
00:20:29,079 --> 00:20:33,880
totals betting overs, because it really is like there's so

406
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,000
many ways to get to four, and then if you

407
00:20:36,039 --> 00:20:38,000
get to four to four, it's a win, right, Like

408
00:20:38,039 --> 00:20:41,160
it's like the difference between eight and a half to

409
00:20:41,279 --> 00:20:43,839
like nine and a half when you're talking totals and

410
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,920
betting overs is so massive that I feel like when

411
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,359
you can find an eight and a half and then

412
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,039
one price at minus one ten, because that's the other thing.

413
00:20:51,279 --> 00:20:53,079
Usually the eight and a half gets juiced, but it's

414
00:20:53,079 --> 00:20:54,920
not going to get juiced here because you got freed.

415
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,599
And then I'll just sort of lean into Brian's sort

416
00:20:57,599 --> 00:20:59,640
of belief that freed may be a little bit over

417
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,200
value at this point. I think eight and a half

418
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,559
is a great bet in this one. And again, this

419
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,920
has the feel of like playoff baseball, where if it

420
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,319
is a close game, it's a big time leverage spot,

421
00:21:11,799 --> 00:21:14,160
and it's like it's tough to get out to those spots.

422
00:21:14,599 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: The big leverage spot.

423
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 2: At Yankee Stadium Friday night, important game for both teams,

424
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,319
so it's like there definitely could be some runs late

425
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:23,880
if you don't get them early.

426
00:21:24,079 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: I think over and a half's a very good bet here.

427
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:26,799
Go ahead, Bran.

428
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 4: I just want to.

429
00:21:29,559 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 3: Both of you guys have a habit of saying what's

430
00:21:32,039 --> 00:21:33,920
on your mind, So I'm gonna say what's on my

431
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:34,440
mind here.

432
00:21:34,759 --> 00:21:35,319
Speaker 1: Let's hear it.

433
00:21:35,839 --> 00:21:41,039
Speaker 3: Chick Ges Chisholm came out yesterday after Yankees had another

434
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:45,960
four errors and said he thinks this this infield is

435
00:21:46,039 --> 00:21:51,799
full of gold Glove contenders. He has said a lot

436
00:21:51,839 --> 00:21:54,839
of dumb things in his life, and that's just the

437
00:21:54,839 --> 00:21:57,440
way he is. He's a happy, go lucky guy that

438
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,799
does that kind of things. This may be the dumbest

439
00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:05,480
thing I've ever heard a baseball player say about his team. Now,

440
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,920
granted he's trying to build him up a little bit,

441
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,960
but he's part of the problem. He's a terrible fielder. Uh.

442
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,200
The shortstop with I don't know what he's doing now,

443
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,839
but he was leading the league and errors earlier this season.

444
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,240
They just the infield. The defense is terrible. The outfield

445
00:22:21,279 --> 00:22:25,440
they playing Stanton in the outfield that they left the

446
00:22:26,079 --> 00:22:29,039
rookie couldn't play the outfield. That was the problem coming

447
00:22:29,039 --> 00:22:32,000
into the season. This could be one of the worst

448
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,400
contending teams defensively I have ever seen in Major League Baseball.

449
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,240
And it is going to come back and han them.

450
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,000
They're bad base runners, they don't play defense. Uh. They're

451
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,400
all a bunch of big name guys living off their

452
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:50,799
reputation and they live in and they're in New York City.

453
00:22:50,599 --> 00:22:53,279
They made it at all? Who knows, but that is

454
00:22:53,319 --> 00:22:54,559
a dumb quote.

455
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,279
Speaker 4: Let me up that. Let me up that Aaron Boone

456
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,599
yesterday in his postgame interview said or in his post

457
00:23:02,599 --> 00:23:06,799
game whatever they call it interview said that the Yankees

458
00:23:07,039 --> 00:23:10,359
fielding is on par with other teams in Major League Basic.

459
00:23:10,519 --> 00:23:14,680
This is how disillusion this is how dissilusion this team is.

460
00:23:15,079 --> 00:23:17,519
Theyre got to be the worst fielding team. They look

461
00:23:17,599 --> 00:23:23,920
like the bad News Bears. It's really comical. So like

462
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:28,960
the first step of recovery is denial or no, the

463
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,759
first what what what you know what I'm talking about

464
00:23:31,799 --> 00:23:35,000
AA meetings or whatever. The first step to recovery is

465
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:42,279
recognizing that you have a problem. They haven't recognized it yet.

466
00:23:43,799 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 2: Someone in the chat said, Stanton is not a bad fielder,

467
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,680
and now I need a wellness check on Sean because

468
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,839
I think because I pretty much did when I saw

469
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:52,279
that as.

470
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,799
Speaker 4: Well fields better than that guy.

471
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 2: I mean, he just can't like he can't move anywhere,

472
00:23:59,039 --> 00:24:02,119
like he can't cover any ground, like he's he he

473
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,519
probably grades out towards the bottom of anyone that you

474
00:24:05,519 --> 00:24:07,559
would put in the outfield at this point because he

475
00:24:07,599 --> 00:24:09,880
can't cover he can't cover any ground.

476
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,839
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's a it's a problem.

477
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,599
Speaker 4: It's a dead grandmother. My dead grandmother covers more ground

478
00:24:16,599 --> 00:24:17,240
than Stanton.

479
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,279
Speaker 2: And I'll go back to something I've said since last year.

480
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:26,480
They are such a fundamentally poor team, but last year

481
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,640
they got away with it because they were they like,

482
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,680
that's really how good that Yankees team was last year.

483
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: Like, let's let's look.

484
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 2: You know, that team made it to a World Series

485
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,359
very you know, could have won the World Series if

486
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,079
a couple of things broke their way, and they were.

487
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,039
Speaker 1: Fundamentally as bad as any team in the league.

488
00:24:43,799 --> 00:24:46,519
Speaker 2: Well now they don't have Wan Soto and and now

489
00:24:46,559 --> 00:24:49,880
they're like they're the caliber of the roster.

490
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: Caliber is a little bit less.

491
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 2: I think it's glaring, like this is this is might

492
00:24:54,039 --> 00:24:57,920
be the worst fundamentally baseball team of all thirty. And

493
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:02,079
it's really starting to show. Now, Oh we are off

494
00:25:02,079 --> 00:25:04,400
to a we are fired up. It's Friday, and like

495
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:05,640
we've got this is great.

496
00:25:06,039 --> 00:25:07,839
Speaker 1: All I like that.

497
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 2: That's that's that the New York teams will do that

498
00:25:10,279 --> 00:25:13,279
they really bring out like the uh, they really pissed

499
00:25:13,319 --> 00:25:13,839
people off.

500
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,599
Speaker 1: I've noticed that. Yet you you bring up Yankees or Mets,

501
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,559
and people really have an opinion.

502
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,519
Speaker 4: You gotta stop being fans. If you're gonna win at

503
00:25:21,519 --> 00:25:24,880
sports betting, you can't do it. You just can't do it.

504
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,440
Brian doesn't bet on the Guardians every day. You can't

505
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:29,279
do it.

506
00:25:30,079 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 2: Let's uh, everyone needs to exhale. So let's talk Pirates Rockies.

507
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,640
How about that Colin. That's Colin Bubba Chandler day. Yeah,

508
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,319
I told Mallory. I was like, Hey, I'm not gonna

509
00:25:41,319 --> 00:25:43,599
be around this weekend. I'm going to the ballpark like

510
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,039
all weekend because I thought we were gonna give Bubba

511
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,279
Chandler here tonight. I've changed my plans. I'm just gonna

512
00:25:49,319 --> 00:25:51,680
go to the game tomorrow. Because Bubba Chandler is no

513
00:25:51,759 --> 00:25:55,000
longer in Syracuse. He's joined the Pirates and it looks

514
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,200
like they're going to give him the Braxton Ashcraft treatment,

515
00:25:58,559 --> 00:26:01,480
which is long relief out of the ball Well. That's

516
00:26:01,559 --> 00:26:04,440
pretty interesting because Braxton Ashcraft, I believe, is the starter

517
00:26:04,519 --> 00:26:07,519
in this game. So if you're unfamiliar as to what

518
00:26:07,559 --> 00:26:10,119
the Pirates have been doing with their young stud pitching

519
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,240
that probably should be starting games. It's bringing them out

520
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,279
of the bullpen because again, why play to win games

521
00:26:16,279 --> 00:26:20,359
in Major League Baseball for some of these teams. Now Ashcraft,

522
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:25,160
after his purgatory was finished, he's now the starter. And

523
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,160
what that means Brian Leonard is you are likely to

524
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,279
get Braxton Ashcraft to above a Chandler tonight.

525
00:26:31,839 --> 00:26:33,319
Speaker 1: That sounds pretty friggin good.

526
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 2: The problem is not much value in trying to back

527
00:26:36,519 --> 00:26:38,039
that because they play the Rockies.

528
00:26:38,319 --> 00:26:39,799
Speaker 1: So how do you attack this one?

529
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,319
Speaker 3: One last comment? Stanton is in the first percentile in

530
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,279
sprint speed. He is very slow. Yeah'll catch the balls,

531
00:26:48,279 --> 00:26:50,200
didn't right at him, but he's not what you want

532
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,039
in the outfield. Okay, getting to this one, This one

533
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:57,759
jumped off the page in me and Colorado Sensatel, who

534
00:26:57,799 --> 00:27:00,440
we've been betting against all season long. He's been terrible.

535
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:05,119
He did come back from the al and pitched really

536
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,079
a pretty good game for him last time out. Braxton Ashcraft,

537
00:27:09,279 --> 00:27:12,720
who is I found out last time he is not

538
00:27:12,759 --> 00:27:18,079
related to the Ashcraft for the Reds. But he's going

539
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,640
today and we're looking at anywhere from one eighty two

540
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,640
to one to ninety four on the Pirates as a

541
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:30,759
home favorite. Total is eight and a half. Normally, if

542
00:27:30,799 --> 00:27:34,839
Sensatela is not on the mound. I would be at

543
00:27:34,839 --> 00:27:37,400
the sports book right now putting whatever I could into

544
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,119
the machines before they opened up, and getting money on Colorado,

545
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,680
because there's no way Pittsburgh should be favored in this

546
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,599
range against anybody. They're three and seven in their last

547
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,680
ten games. Colorado's seven and three. Granted, Colorado's playing home,

548
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,440
but they were playing the Dodgers. I mean, Colorado's playing

549
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,000
is a pretty good ball. But if you take a

550
00:27:57,039 --> 00:28:00,920
look at the standings on the season, Colorado and right

551
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,480
now on the road, sixteen and forty six on the year,

552
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,279
They're a bad road team every single year. We talk

553
00:28:07,319 --> 00:28:11,200
about it coming into the season. Right now, Colorado has

554
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,839
been outscored on the year by three hundred and thirty

555
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:19,119
two runs. The next worst team in baseball of Washington

556
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,720
Nationals minus one fifty one in the Nationals. At one point,

557
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,160
we're somewhat around the five hundred range. Now they're twenty

558
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,839
three games under five hundred. So there. If you take

559
00:28:29,839 --> 00:28:32,000
a look at the way the Nationals have played over

560
00:28:32,039 --> 00:28:34,039
the last month, they could be the worst team of baseball.

561
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,480
But I can't trust the Rockies because they're so bad

562
00:28:37,519 --> 00:28:40,119
on the road. I can't trust them with Senstela, but

563
00:28:40,319 --> 00:28:42,519
the hell can you lay this kind of number with

564
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:47,480
the pirates. I'm not getting involved in this one. There's

565
00:28:47,519 --> 00:28:48,960
no way to get involved in this. There's a lot

566
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:50,839
of good games on today's card, by the way, and

567
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,839
I do have a five percent going today, another winning

568
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,680
day yesterday. I've won eleven of the last thirteen days.

569
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,319
And you want to grab that five percent now is

570
00:29:01,039 --> 00:29:04,119
I think it's gonna move, so I'll get that right now.

571
00:29:04,319 --> 00:29:07,200
And yeah, nothing on this game for me, just too

572
00:29:07,279 --> 00:29:08,680
many questionables.

573
00:29:10,079 --> 00:29:12,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, Brian's got a five percent, He's got a lot

574
00:29:12,799 --> 00:29:16,480
of winning days in a row. I am plus ninety

575
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,920
eight units this year, number one at wager talk, and

576
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,720
I think Adam is number one either the last three

577
00:29:21,839 --> 00:29:23,880
or seven days something like that. So all of us

578
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,720

589
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,960
wager Talk know that baseball is better than football, and

590
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,160
it also lets them know that you guys like our

591
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:03,960
show because they're not watching it right now, so let

592
00:30:04,039 --> 00:30:07,960
him know that you like it. So onto this treacherous,

593
00:30:08,319 --> 00:30:12,440
treacherously horrible game. This is one of those games where

594
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,079
you have to cover the logo. The books are giving

595
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:20,000
way too much credit to Ashcraft here. Yes, he's had

596
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,240
a couple of good starts, but he has not gone

597
00:30:22,319 --> 00:30:25,039
into the fifth He's gone in the fifth inning once.

598
00:30:25,079 --> 00:30:30,480
Oh Andy's watching, Okay, so he's not gone into the

599
00:30:30,519 --> 00:30:33,640
fifth inning in any starts but one. So he's gonna

600
00:30:33,799 --> 00:30:36,559
I don't think, even though it's the Rockies, I don't

601
00:30:36,559 --> 00:30:38,680
think he's gonna be he's gonna have one of those

602
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,480
seven inning games. He's never had one. And this is

603
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,400
one of those games where you have to cover the logo.

604
00:30:45,519 --> 00:30:47,720
If you cover the logo, you'll see that the Rockies

605
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,240
are hitting number eleven in all of Major League Baseball

606
00:30:50,319 --> 00:30:52,960
right now. Granted, some of those numbers are skewed because

607
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,799
they came off a series at home in that Monkey

608
00:30:55,839 --> 00:30:59,720
park with the with the thin air like the moon.

609
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,480
But their bullpen is actually number ten in Major League

610
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,400
Baseball in current form. So if you cover the logo,

611
00:31:06,599 --> 00:31:08,880
you would think they're like the Reds or something, but

612
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,480
they're not. Their bullpen's actually better than the Reds, but

613
00:31:12,519 --> 00:31:15,000
their record is not quite where the Reds record is.

614
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,400
So the Rockies are not actually that bad, but their

615
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:23,079
starter is. So how do you approach this? Well, the

616
00:31:23,119 --> 00:31:26,240
Pirates bullpen is ranked twenty two right now and their

617
00:31:26,319 --> 00:31:28,880
hitting is ranked twenty six according to my numbers, So

618
00:31:29,599 --> 00:31:31,480
I would not trust the Pirates to win the game,

619
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,359
especially at that crooked number. But I do like the

620
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,440
Rockies team total over three and a half here. You

621
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,519
could even alter it down to two and a half

622
00:31:40,559 --> 00:31:42,640
and still get it for minus one sixty. I think

623
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,279
it's pretty good value. But as a professional handicapper, I

624
00:31:46,319 --> 00:31:49,200
can't be recommending you to do minus one sixties every day,

625
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,720
So I think the Rockies over three and a half

626
00:31:51,759 --> 00:31:55,480
is a pretty good play here. Yes, Ashkoff is pretty good,

627
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,200
but he's not going to last the whole game. I

628
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,000
expect him to go four innings. Maybe they'll score one,

629
00:32:00,279 --> 00:32:02,799
maybe they'll score none, but they certainly can score three

630
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,599
runs or more on this horrible bullpin. That's how I

631
00:32:06,599 --> 00:32:07,119
would do it.

632
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,119
Speaker 2: I'm actually number one the last thirty days, forty six

633
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,079
and twenty four plus sixty point eighty two units, so

634
00:32:15,119 --> 00:32:17,960
it's it's been a good run. I needed all sixty

635
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:19,480
of those units because I did not have a great

636
00:32:19,519 --> 00:32:22,680
April in May, so we're getting him back. It's been

637
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,160
a good It's been a good stretch, despite the fact

638
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,519
that I haven't had a great week in MLB. Seem

639
00:32:27,599 --> 00:32:30,680
to be hitting everything else, so I listen wins or wins.

640
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,960
Can't complain. Earlier in the year, I couldn't lose an

641
00:32:33,039 --> 00:32:35,359
MLB game, and or I couldn't lose an MLB and

642
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:36,799
I couldn't win in KBO.

643
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: Now I'm having a nice run in kvoh, so it

644
00:32:39,279 --> 00:32:39,839
is what it is.

645
00:32:42,079 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 2: This is not a spot where I would worry much

646
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,359
about the pirates bullpen, because they've pretty much told you

647
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,839
it's gonna go Ashcraft to Chandler, and I don't think

648
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,720
the Rockies hit Bubba Chandler like he's again. I'm shocked

649
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,559
that he's not starting, Like, I'm really surprised they're doing

650
00:32:57,559 --> 00:33:01,440
this with him. Ashcraft wasn't as highly touted coming out

651
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:05,000
of like through their farm system as Chandler was. I

652
00:33:05,079 --> 00:33:07,400
felt like Bubba Chandler was like a lock to get

653
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,680
called up and just thrown right into that rotation. So

654
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:15,160
it'll be interesting to see how he translates to like

655
00:33:15,319 --> 00:33:16,039
bulk relief.

656
00:33:16,559 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: I will point out that this last sort of two

657
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,920
month stretch has not been great for him at Triple A,

658
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,240
but I also think he was I also think he

659
00:33:25,319 --> 00:33:28,599
was just bored. Like I really think Bubba Chandler in

660
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:29,559
his head.

661
00:33:29,559 --> 00:33:31,599
Speaker 2: Felt like he should have been on this Pirates roster

662
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,720
in April or May because he was very good at

663
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:35,559
in the Miners last year and he came out of

664
00:33:35,559 --> 00:33:39,279
the gate as the best pitcher essentially in Triple A

665
00:33:39,359 --> 00:33:41,240
this year for like the first two months of the season,

666
00:33:41,319 --> 00:33:44,039
or one of the best. I really think he was

667
00:33:44,079 --> 00:33:45,960
just like, what am I still doing here? We're twenty

668
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:51,839
games under five hundred, I'm watching like bums get starts

669
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,319
for the Pirates? Why am I still down here? And

670
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,640
you know that could that could wear on a guy.

671
00:33:56,759 --> 00:33:59,000
So I think you're gonna see him perform well at

672
00:33:59,039 --> 00:34:02,240
the big league level. And I'm not a big team

673
00:34:02,319 --> 00:34:04,559
total guy, So, like I was gonna say, i'd probably

674
00:34:04,599 --> 00:34:07,440
go head to head with your TV and play Rockies

675
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,000
team total under, but that's just not really my style.

676
00:34:10,119 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what I would do with this one.

677
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,599
Speaker 2: Honestly, I think i'd find someone a pair of the parlays,

678
00:34:15,639 --> 00:34:18,119
a pair of the Pirates within a parlay. I can't

679
00:34:18,199 --> 00:34:21,320
lay a price with them, but I think, especially if

680
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,079
the Rockies took some money and this gets down to

681
00:34:23,119 --> 00:34:27,079
like minus one seventy five or something minus one seventy,

682
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,719
if you could parlay them with some I mean, if

683
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,079
you could parlay the Pirates with someone like let's say

684
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,960
the Rangers maybe and get like better than even money,

685
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,360
it's not the worst way to play. But other than that,

686
00:34:41,599 --> 00:34:44,760
it's just the books have really sucked all the value

687
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,400
out of this one. If you like the Pirates, and

688
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:51,199
that's unfortunate because I think Ashcraft a Chandler's a great

689
00:34:51,199 --> 00:34:57,400
setup for them. All right, let's see, let's uh uh okay,

690
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,519
Mark Kinson, Let's get Markinson in the mix here. He says,

691
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,119
can we cover Phillies Nationals next?

692
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 3: Yeah?

693
00:35:03,519 --> 00:35:06,280
Speaker 2: That's a good game to talk about the Philly. The

694
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,920
Nats come off of a couple of impressive results against

695
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,039
the Mets. The Phillies look as good as any team

696
00:35:13,039 --> 00:35:16,840
in baseball right now. They just disposed of Seattle like

697
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,519
it was no one's business. And that's a good Seattle

698
00:35:19,599 --> 00:35:22,719
Mariners team. Brian Leonard that needed those games.

699
00:35:23,599 --> 00:35:24,199
Speaker 1: Have the Pilly?

700
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 2: Are the Phillies peaking here? From a value standpoint? Is like,

701
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:32,599
are you trying to go against this team at this point? No?

702
00:35:32,599 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 3: No, especially against Washington, and uh, they're gonna really need

703
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,880
a good effort out of KG Savale tonight to keep

704
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:44,840
this from closed. We've got Philadelphia Timon Walker going and

705
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:48,239
whoever thought would be interested in Taiwan Walker in this

706
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,920
day and age, But he's been one of the better pictures.

707
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:55,639
He's been very good. The current line is roughly about yeah,

708
00:35:55,679 --> 00:35:58,760
one eighty five let's say against Savale and in the

709
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,599
total is nine and a half to under sable. He's

710
00:36:02,599 --> 00:36:05,199
been good so far, and he's a guy that I'm

711
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,800
really rooting for because he's now aged twenty seven and

712
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:13,199
he's been a top a top minor leaguer for years.

713
00:36:13,199 --> 00:36:16,079
But he's always had problems with injuries. So far, so

714
00:36:16,159 --> 00:36:17,760
good in the Major's He's got a two point in

715
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,440
three games two point two ohe are a three point

716
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,000
four to six expected so he's been a little lucky

717
00:36:23,519 --> 00:36:26,400
one point two to nine whip. But take a look

718
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:31,880
at this Washington bullpen. Kind of crazy because this Washington

719
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,280
team I just mentioned how bad they were. They were

720
00:36:34,599 --> 00:36:36,239
now scored by one hundred and fifty one rounds on

721
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,719
the season. They are not used to using the back

722
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,960
end of the bullpen, and it has shown. The last

723
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:49,280
last two days of the closer for our through thirty

724
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,559
five pitches in two games. Henry who I really like,

725
00:36:52,639 --> 00:36:55,880
a young, young, young guy here. He threw thirty nine

726
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:59,400
the last two days. Poland pitched yesterday. I didn't even

727
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,360
know who he was. He can't pick clip up on

728
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:05,519
the waivers from Detroit. He threw thirteen pitches. And then

729
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,880
Clayton Beeter, the old I believe he was the Yankees organization,

730
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,400
and I think the Dodgers are the one that originally

731
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,360
signed him. But he threw twenty pitches, so they've got

732
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,119
they're really hurting out of the bullpen. It would not

733
00:37:19,199 --> 00:37:23,039
surprise me if the old Cleveland Indian and former Chicago

734
00:37:23,039 --> 00:37:27,280
White Sox Plankton would come in as their closer tonight,

735
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:31,159
and that's that's not good. He's not very good. In fact,

736
00:37:31,199 --> 00:37:34,239
if you take a look at his overall rating, he's

737
00:37:34,639 --> 00:37:37,519
the four hundred and twenty second best closer, our best

738
00:37:37,559 --> 00:37:42,960
relief pitcher in baseball. So I'd like the Phillies to

739
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,119
score some runs here. I use this as my free

740
00:37:45,119 --> 00:37:48,239
player on the site today. I played the over five

741
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,239
and a half runs here a plus money. You can

742
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,000
get them at four and a half and lay a

743
00:37:53,079 --> 00:37:55,440
little bit here. But I think they're going to get

744
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,960
to saval. I think Savali has been pitching over his

745
00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,960
head so far and they're going to have to use

746
00:38:00,159 --> 00:38:03,559
him for at least five innings probably more in this

747
00:38:03,599 --> 00:38:06,039
game to get that bullpen a little bit of a rest.

748
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,119
And Walker's pitching very well. The batcher hot as hell

749
00:38:09,159 --> 00:38:12,480
for Philadelphia. I think they have a really big offensive

750
00:38:12,559 --> 00:38:14,960
day here. I like Philadelphia. Don't want to lay the

751
00:38:15,079 --> 00:38:17,159
you know, the one eighty five or whatever that's out there.

752
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,800
But if you can get get six runs out of

753
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:23,360
Philadelphia today, if plus one ten or better, I think

754
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:24,239
that's a pretty good bet.

755
00:38:26,079 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 4: Well, this is what I love about this show is

756
00:38:28,039 --> 00:38:30,000
I was kind of on the fence about this game

757
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:35,280
because I don't know enough about Savally. From what I've seen,

758
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:39,000
he's pitched really well, but he hasn't gone really deep.

759
00:38:39,039 --> 00:38:42,079
But he doesn't walk anyone. He's got good k rate

760
00:38:42,199 --> 00:38:45,599
and things like that. So, you know, comparing these teams

761
00:38:45,639 --> 00:38:47,679
next to each other, I mean, the Phillies are top

762
00:38:48,079 --> 00:38:52,800
six at everything I'm not. I'm I'm with Brian here.

763
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,559
I've never been a Taiwan Walker fan, but this season

764
00:38:55,639 --> 00:38:59,800
he's kind of turned me around. He's got great command,

765
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:06,400
he's not walking anyone, and you know I so, you know,

766
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:10,480
this is what I like about the show is you know,

767
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,639
we can learn something from each other. And I actually

768
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,760
learned something from you guys in the chat as well.

769
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,519
You guys are the most educated chat probably on any

770
00:39:17,639 --> 00:39:21,960
Wager talk show, so we appreciate that. Yeah, I think

771
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,360
I will go with with Philadelphia now after hearing Brian's analysis.

772
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,679
One thing, you guys know, I make a chronic walker list.

773
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,400
Taiwan Walker is the opposite of a chronic walker. He's

774
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:36,400
a chronic non walker. He let me see my numbers here.

775
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:40,559
He is actually walking only one point zero two guys

776
00:39:40,679 --> 00:39:44,639
per game, and Washington only walks two point three. They're

777
00:39:44,679 --> 00:39:49,639
a very low walking team, so I will certainly play

778
00:39:49,679 --> 00:39:53,599
Taiwan Walkers walks one and a half under if it's

779
00:39:53,599 --> 00:39:56,199
one and a half. Sometimes the books catch on and

780
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,280
put it zero point five, which I would not play

781
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:03,840
the under on that Taiwan Walker walked three Washington batters

782
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,199
in his third start this season at home. Since then,

783
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,119
he has not walked more than one guy at home

784
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,519
in any of his home starts, So I think the

785
00:40:13,639 --> 00:40:16,840
under walks here. And I actually like Phillies on the

786
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,559
money line as well. Cool gambling trick. Just take on

787
00:40:20,639 --> 00:40:22,840
minus one. You can take thirty to fifty cents off

788
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,920
the price, so Phileas minus one would be a good

789
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:25,400
bet here.

790
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 2: We gotta show some respect to it's Kate Cavali. We

791
00:40:31,559 --> 00:40:34,760
have an Aaron Savali who we don't want. I'm sure

792
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,639
he doesn't want to be compared to, because Aaron Savali

793
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,519
is is not what he's aspiring to be as a

794
00:40:40,559 --> 00:40:44,159
starting pitcher in Major League Baseball. But Kate Cavally, former

795
00:40:44,199 --> 00:40:46,840
first round pick, he is a guy I'm kind of

796
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,360
rooting for because I got to see him a bunch

797
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,480
of Rochester and he had the injuries, and now he's

798
00:40:50,559 --> 00:40:53,239
sort of getting his chance. I gotta say, Brian, as

799
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:57,679
I'm watching the Orioles game last night. I ended up

800
00:40:57,679 --> 00:40:59,679
on the Orioles yesterday, and I should have listened to

801
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,480
you because Brandon Young got bombed. Now, I thought the

802
00:41:03,559 --> 00:41:05,519
Oils were gonna do more of the bombing.

803
00:41:06,119 --> 00:41:06,639
Speaker 1: They did not.

804
00:41:07,679 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 2: But Cavali is in kind of a similar spot here

805
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,000
where his last start was against the Phillies and it

806
00:41:16,079 --> 00:41:21,519
was really good. Cavali's last start was seven innings of scoreless,

807
00:41:21,559 --> 00:41:25,519
seven innings of shutout ball against this Phillies lineup. I

808
00:41:25,559 --> 00:41:29,679
would I am very very certain that that's not happening again.

809
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: Now.

810
00:41:30,519 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 2: Tauan Walker might not shut down the Nats because the

811
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:36,000
one thing the Nats do well is hit right handed pitching,

812
00:41:36,119 --> 00:41:40,320
especially right handed pitching like Tawan Walker, where he's not

813
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,960
really overpowering them. Like that's the one thing I've noticed

814
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:47,280
with Washington. Now to Walker's defense, he just pitched against

815
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,800
the Nationals and he pitched into the seventh inning, only

816
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,280
gave up two runs on six hits. But like you know,

817
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,400
the Nats have now seen him a couple times this year.

818
00:41:56,079 --> 00:41:58,880
The other I think they scored four against him earlier

819
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,800
this year. And this is kind of like the one

820
00:42:02,039 --> 00:42:04,360
thing the nast lineup I feel like they have success

821
00:42:04,679 --> 00:42:06,920
is when they get these these right handed pitchers, because

822
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,360
they can stack their their lineup with pretty much all

823
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:13,199
left handed bats that that aren't gonna like just blow

824
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,280
them away with like high, super high vel So I

825
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,440
think you do get some runs from the NAF tonight,

826
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,360
But I mean the Phillies right now, man, Like, it

827
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,960
wouldn't be surprised. It would if if Cavali is not like,

828
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,599
if he gets into a little trouble early, there could

829
00:42:27,639 --> 00:42:30,840
be uh, the floodgates. It feels like the floodgates are

830
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,599
opening often for Philly in their home ballpark, where they

831
00:42:34,639 --> 00:42:37,320
have been as good of a team at home as

832
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,599
anyone in the league since like the beginning of last year.

833
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,760
I am kicking myself in hindsight for playing the Mariners

834
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,519
twice earlier this week. I don't think I gave a

835
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:50,599
Philly enough credit for just like that knockout punch that

836
00:42:50,639 --> 00:42:52,519
they seem to have in their back pocket when they

837
00:42:52,519 --> 00:42:55,079
play at home, where it's like, yeah, it might get

838
00:42:55,079 --> 00:42:56,800
it might be a four to three game in the eighth,

839
00:42:57,119 --> 00:42:59,480
but very quickly it's an eight three game because they

840
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,719
get a couple base runners and then Schwarber hit hits

841
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,440
one of Canada New Jersey. So like that that could

842
00:43:05,599 --> 00:43:09,320
very well happen here. But also the Nationals are going

843
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,159
to probably contribute to this total.

844
00:43:11,679 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 1: I don't think.

845
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,039
Speaker 2: That they're going I don't think Walker's holding this lineup

846
00:43:15,079 --> 00:43:18,400
down third time seeing him this year. They've gotten some hits.

847
00:43:18,679 --> 00:43:21,239
They tend to hit right handed pitching better, So I'll

848
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,400
call this one an over go ahead.

849
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,119
Speaker 3: Brian, Yeah, I just wanted a little bit of the

850
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:32,679
teaching segment here. Walker going on back to twenty twenty one,

851
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,880
he never even threw a cutter. Now he throws it

852
00:43:36,559 --> 00:43:40,840
more than anything else, and just last year he threw

853
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,760
it one hundred and thirty seven hutters over the courts

854
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,639
of the entire season. That was his Well, let's see,

855
00:43:46,639 --> 00:43:51,480
that's his sixth most thrown pitch. Now it's his top

856
00:43:51,519 --> 00:43:54,280
pitch and he's throwing at four hundred and fifty seven

857
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,360
times as opposed to one to thirty seven. His expected

858
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:02,760
wOBA on this is two eighty five. This pitch may

859
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:06,400
have saved his career and you find the older guys.

860
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,239
You know, he's thirty three years old. They've got to

861
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,280
go out there. You take over his force ontos nine

862
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,519
percent of the time, it's only ninety two point three

863
00:44:14,599 --> 00:44:17,440
miles an hour when he was young. That was I

864
00:44:17,519 --> 00:44:20,599
remember back when he was in Seattle, Land, Marco and

865
00:44:20,639 --> 00:44:24,079
I went down to spring training. Great ballpark down in Peoria.

866
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,960
The padres in Seattle share it. Great food there, and

867
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,559
of course that's really important to Marco. He's a food critic.

868
00:44:31,639 --> 00:44:35,920
But basically he's a totally different pitcher. He's reinvented himself

869
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:39,440
and with this cutter, he's become a much better pitcher.

870
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,840
And so you a lot of times you'll find a

871
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,840
lot guys as they get older, they find new pitches.

872
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,320
You see it with Verlander now, based on the way

873
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,880
he pitched yesterday the day before, I think he's done.

874
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:58,079
But still you've got a Walker who I think is

875
00:44:58,079 --> 00:45:01,960
is redefining himself. And it doesn't help that he has

876
00:45:02,039 --> 00:45:05,480
faced the same as you mentioned before. But when he

877
00:45:05,519 --> 00:45:10,360
plays somebody who is maybe an interleague game, I'm looking

878
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:12,280
to play on Walker, and I think he's going to

879
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:13,400
be very good in that situation.

880
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:15,840
Speaker 1: It's such a good point.

881
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 2: I feel like that's one of the most underrated like

882
00:45:18,639 --> 00:45:22,480
handicapping tools that you can have at your disposal and

883
00:45:22,559 --> 00:45:25,159
a lot And this is actually, this is what you

884
00:45:25,199 --> 00:45:28,559
get from like watching spring training baseball. So like people

885
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:30,199
are always like, well, like why would I watch spring

886
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,920
training baseball? You know, like how how do I like

887
00:45:33,039 --> 00:45:37,360
learn anything from that spring training broadcast? One of the

888
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,320
things they talk about constantly is pitch mix. Oh, this

889
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,079
guy did this to his pitch mix, and that is

890
00:45:43,159 --> 00:45:46,159
like it is it is so incredibly important because there

891
00:45:46,199 --> 00:45:48,519
is zero chance the books are pricing any of that

892
00:45:48,599 --> 00:45:51,719
in or they even know. And and really these all

893
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,880
and TB I'm sure can can expound upon this too.

894
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:59,239
These guys are so good that like literally the mix

895
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:01,320
of pitches that they throw and when they throw them

896
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:04,119
could be the difference between having a sub three e

897
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,079
RA or getting completely blown up. So when I hear

898
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:11,239
guys like had some favor orle results like tweaking their

899
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:13,719
pitch mix, it's always something I'm interested in.

900
00:46:14,079 --> 00:46:16,079
Speaker 1: And yeah, like if you were ahead of.

901
00:46:16,039 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 2: That and you kind of like we were front running that,

902
00:46:19,159 --> 00:46:21,400
You've made a lot of money betting Taiwan Walker this year.

903
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,559
Because I mean, based on past stuff, you wouldn't you

904
00:46:24,599 --> 00:46:26,639
wouldn't have projected that this would happen.

905
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 1: Another guy that comes to mind is Brady Singer.

906
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 2: He had his little lull, but he improved his prick

907
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:34,280
pitch mix and the results have been overall pretty good.

908
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,400
So that's that's a great point, Brian, really good point.

909
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:42,320
Andy lang Is in the chat, he says he, you know,

910
00:46:42,599 --> 00:46:45,239
Brandon's listen, the three of us are always going to

911
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,440
be baseball guys. I'll die on the hill that I

912
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:49,719
think baseball is a better betting sport. I think there's

913
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,719
more potential to make money in this sport than football,

914
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:57,360
where where yeah, they're very tough to unless you're getting

915
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,440
down on fcs or you have really good info in

916
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:04,199
college foot well, it's a very very tough uh sport

917
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:04,559
to beat.

918
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,519
Speaker 1: It just is our guy Fees will tell you.

919
00:47:07,559 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 2: That's why they offer the minus one of you know,

920
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:12,960
three minus one of five lines both ways on the

921
00:47:13,039 --> 00:47:13,719
NFL games.

922
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 1: Can't beat it, Like, it's just a really tough thing

923
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:16,719
to beat.

924
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 2: But if you are into football, Andy show Waser Talk today,

925
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:25,760
they are loading up the guests great football guests pretty

926
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,239
much daily on that show. And that is right here

927
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:31,480
at noon on the way as you talk to YouTube channel. Okay,

928
00:47:32,199 --> 00:47:35,840
just a diabolical comment here. The kid says MLB is

929
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,039
better for laundering money. I don't know if we can

930
00:47:38,079 --> 00:47:41,280
talk about that on this show, but just an insane comment,

931
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,199
which I love, so thank you for the better.

932
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,039
Speaker 3: They take a whole lot more money in the NFL

933
00:47:46,079 --> 00:47:46,480
than they do.

934
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:51,039
Speaker 2: That's true, all right. Andy Lank says he can't wait

935
00:47:51,079 --> 00:47:53,440
for the parlay. Let's not keep him waiting even though

936
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:54,960
he still on twelve minutes. Leh, and we might be

937
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,400
able to get to two games. Tokyo, Brandon, do you

938
00:47:58,039 --> 00:47:58,840
know your parlay?

939
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:00,519
Speaker 1: Leg and is it a game we have we talked

940
00:48:00,559 --> 00:48:01,800
about it yet or do you want to throw a

941
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,480
game out there for the for everyone we've.

942
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:07,159
Speaker 4: Already talked about it. I'm gonna go against you at them.

943
00:48:07,159 --> 00:48:09,360
I'm taking the Rockies over three and a half as

944
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:15,079
my parlay. Like, yeah, they're just cover the logo. They're

945
00:48:15,119 --> 00:48:17,840
hitting number ten in MLB. They're they're crushing it right now,

946
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:20,280
and I think they're gonna keep keep crushing it. I

947
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:24,880
love their young guys that they've injected into that lineup. Uh,

948
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,679
and guys, like Moniac and and those guys they're they're

949
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,840
hitting really well right now, so you know, they don't

950
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,920
look like the Colorado Rockies, so I'll think they're over

951
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:35,559
three and a half. They're on the road, they get

952
00:48:35,639 --> 00:48:38,559
nine innings.

953
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, and to and to be and just to like

954
00:48:40,159 --> 00:48:42,400
go back to that for a second, like that that's

955
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,840
a game. I have a very very slight opinion in

956
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:48,000
like I won't be betting Pirates Rockies today, so I

957
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:51,159
don't I don't want to, you know, I I don't

958
00:48:51,199 --> 00:48:53,480
want to like put you off of that just because

959
00:48:53,679 --> 00:48:56,239
I think Asraf Chandler could be a nice combo, because

960
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,800
really Ashtract and Chandler could both pitch well and the

961
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:00,880
Rockies could still get the four runs. Like that's not

962
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,320
you know that, that's not crazy to think. We will

963
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,920
circle back and read the parlay off again at the

964
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,039
end of the show. Let's let's get into one more

965
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:09,320
what's up?

966
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 4: Did Brian put one out?

967
00:49:11,119 --> 00:49:14,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, Boston to total over three and a half a

968
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:17,920
minus one ten. Current number on the Colorado team total

969
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:19,639
over three and a half is minus one oh five.

970
00:49:19,679 --> 00:49:21,960
You can actually get them at even money if you

971
00:49:22,039 --> 00:49:25,519
shop and the Mets I saw was basically plus one

972
00:49:25,519 --> 00:49:26,079
oh three.

973
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw it's by the time we go read

974
00:49:29,519 --> 00:49:31,079
it again, it's probably gonna be even money.

975
00:49:31,119 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 1: I saw that. It looks like.

976
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 2: There's two groups right battling that game. Because it hit

977
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,079
plus money, it went back to the Mets. It's it's

978
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,519
that'll be. That'll be a fun one to see where

979
00:49:42,559 --> 00:49:44,639
the money goes in that one throughout the day. I

980
00:49:44,679 --> 00:49:46,039
thought it would have been on the Mets, which is

981
00:49:46,039 --> 00:49:49,360
why I released it already. But I wonder if someone

982
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,760
faked it to get more down on the Mets, or

983
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:53,920
maybe people just want it. Maybe there's groups that just

984
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:55,679
continue to want to bet against the Mets. Maybe they're

985
00:49:55,679 --> 00:49:58,119
making money doing that. You'll see that sometimes where like

986
00:49:58,159 --> 00:50:00,840
a like a syndicate type group, if they'll just play

987
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,559
against the same team every day, and maybe it's the

988
00:50:03,599 --> 00:50:05,960
Mets right now, how they cash wants to know.

989
00:50:06,039 --> 00:50:08,639
Speaker 1: Any opinion on Twins White Sox.

990
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:13,039
Speaker 2: This is an interesting one because both of these teams

991
00:50:13,079 --> 00:50:16,880
are kind of managing their their organizations like Triple A.

992
00:50:17,039 --> 00:50:20,559
Right now we are in we are in full developmental

993
00:50:20,599 --> 00:50:24,559
mode with Twins and White Sox. The problem is the

994
00:50:24,599 --> 00:50:26,360
White Socks are trying to develop at the at the

995
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:30,440
big league level. For whatever reason, the Twins are not

996
00:50:30,599 --> 00:50:34,800
doing that. They have I would say a handful of

997
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,199
their best players are still at Triple A. Why I'm

998
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,360
not sure, But as far as this matchup's concerned, Brian

999
00:50:41,039 --> 00:50:44,880
Sebbie Matthews is the guy I'm interested in. But again,

1000
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,039
like in the prices, I guess cheap enough. But the

1001
00:50:47,039 --> 00:50:50,320
White Sox they're sneaky, they've played good ball. I'm not

1002
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:51,840
sure I want to bet bet against them. Are you

1003
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:53,400
getting involved Twins, White Sox?

1004
00:50:54,079 --> 00:51:01,880
Speaker 3: Probably not. We're looking at the Matthews one thirty five maybe,

1005
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:06,159
and Savali's going for the White Sox. And you've already

1006
00:51:06,199 --> 00:51:09,199
mentioned how much you love Aaron Savali eight and a

1007
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:13,760
half slightly to the under in this game. Yeah, Zebby Matthews,

1008
00:51:14,119 --> 00:51:18,599
he changed the way he approached baseball this year. Last

1009
00:51:18,639 --> 00:51:20,679
year he was a guy who threw everything into the

1010
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:22,599
strike sound and he got hit. He had a six

1011
00:51:22,599 --> 00:51:26,400
point sixty nine ERA one point sixty five whip. This

1012
00:51:26,599 --> 00:51:29,519
year he's trying to overpower everybody and he's struck out

1013
00:51:29,559 --> 00:51:31,679
sixty three batters in forty eight innings. He's been able

1014
00:51:31,679 --> 00:51:34,519
to do that, but it hasn't really materialized for him.

1015
00:51:34,559 --> 00:51:36,840
His era is still at five point oh six whip

1016
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,800
one point four to four spected d IRA is four

1017
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,119
point oh six, so he's due for some little positive

1018
00:51:42,119 --> 00:51:47,800
regression here ninetieth percentile in strike strike percentage fifth percentage

1019
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,960
eighty second fastball veloscity eighty four. He does throw the

1020
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,800
four resteimer forty one percent of the time at ninety

1021
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:57,039
six point six miles an hour, And he does throw.

1022
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:01,599
He's got six pitches he throw, but mostly it's his

1023
00:52:01,639 --> 00:52:08,599
fastball and his slider. Aarsabali as a good years in Cleveland,

1024
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:11,199
but right now he's got a four point eight a DRA,

1025
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:14,679
four point two ZHO expected one point three to five whip.

1026
00:52:15,199 --> 00:52:18,000
He's in the first percentile and extensions fight being six

1027
00:52:18,039 --> 00:52:20,320
foot one, that's not a good thing. Ground ball rate

1028
00:52:20,679 --> 00:52:25,599
twelve percentile. This is probably a pretty good hitters park

1029
00:52:25,599 --> 00:52:29,480
for home runs. Fastball veloscit seventeenth percentile. The only thing

1030
00:52:29,519 --> 00:52:32,519
he really does he keeps the opposition a little off balance.

1031
00:52:33,039 --> 00:52:37,840
Average EXA Velosi in the seventy sixth percentile, throws throw

1032
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:41,000
six pitches and his cutter thirty four percent of the time.

1033
00:52:41,079 --> 00:52:44,119
So in this game, I think there's a pretty sizable

1034
00:52:44,159 --> 00:52:49,960
pitching advantage for Minnesota, But do I trust them when

1035
00:52:50,039 --> 00:52:52,440
he's out. If I'm looking at this game at all,

1036
00:52:52,519 --> 00:52:56,239
I'm probably looking at the first five for Matthews, and

1037
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:58,960
you're getting roughly slightly a little bit more about a

1038
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:02,280
one forty favorite as opposed to what it is for

1039
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:07,440
the game, which is about one thirty five. It's always

1040
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:10,519
one twenty eight, I say some places, but if I

1041
00:53:10,519 --> 00:53:12,920
had to play it, I played Minnesota first five. But

1042
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,320
then again, you've got a team that's completely out of

1043
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:19,239
the playoffs, a very disappointing team. Uh, top to back

1044
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:20,800
those kind of teams at this point of the season,

1045
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:21,880
so I will pass.

1046
00:53:23,159 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 4: So college football is starting this weekend, and this game

1047
00:53:28,599 --> 00:53:32,199
to reference to college football, this would be Eastern Washington

1048
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:35,880
versus Northern Arizona, two nothing teams that have nothing to

1049
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:39,280
play for and will be a garbage game. But we

1050
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:42,840
can still make money on betting Eastern Washington sometimes, right,

1051
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:46,880
So take a look at the game. You know, first

1052
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:50,639
of all, who names their kid ZEBI? Seriously, his parents need.

1053
00:53:50,599 --> 00:53:53,199
Speaker 1: A mental zebulon. I think that's short.

1054
00:53:54,199 --> 00:53:57,360
Speaker 4: My goodness, who named who named this kid? Frank Zappa?

1055
00:53:57,440 --> 00:53:58,639
What's going on? Here.

1056
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:01,079
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's his first name, though I

1057
00:54:01,079 --> 00:54:03,000
think that might be a nickname.

1058
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:08,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, I am from the planet of Zebulon anyways, So okay,

1059
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:13,400
he's got some wacky parents. So neither one of these

1060
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:17,320
pitchers really are striking me as being great. I got

1061
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:20,480
them both kind of toiling and mediocrity here. Savali's stats

1062
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:24,159
are just everywhere. I mean, he's got a low average

1063
00:54:24,159 --> 00:54:27,280
against versus these batters, but his OPS is over eight

1064
00:54:27,559 --> 00:54:30,519
eight thirty, which means they're not hitting him often but

1065
00:54:30,559 --> 00:54:33,719
when they do their long balls. So I don't know

1066
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,599
what to make of this. And Savally has an even

1067
00:54:36,679 --> 00:54:39,239
weirder stat He's got a three ERA on the road

1068
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:43,920
and a six ERA at home, so pretty wacky, weird

1069
00:54:44,199 --> 00:54:46,320
stuff that I can't make any sense out of. So

1070
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:50,400
I'm staying way away from this game. But that the

1071
00:54:50,599 --> 00:54:52,599
White Sox are hitting a lot better than the Twins.

1072
00:54:52,599 --> 00:54:55,000
I have them rated ten in current form, where I

1073
00:54:55,039 --> 00:54:58,400
have the Twins rated twenty six, but the Twins bullpen

1074
00:54:58,599 --> 00:55:02,760
rank sixteen and White Sox bullpen rink twenty. So make

1075
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:04,719
of that what you want. But this is one of

1076
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:08,559
those just wacky pinball games that nobody has any idea

1077
00:55:08,599 --> 00:55:10,920
where this is going to go. Maybe Adam has an idea.

1078
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 1: Nah, I wish I did. I've hit.

1079
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:18,679
Speaker 2: I'll tell you his his full name is Daniel Zebulon Matthews.

1080
00:55:20,639 --> 00:55:21,119
Speaker 1: I'm glad.

1081
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:24,559
Speaker 2: I'm glad he went with Zeby though, because like Dan Matthews,

1082
00:55:24,599 --> 00:55:26,880
I feel like would just get lost in the shovel, right, Like,

1083
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:29,639
at least I I know who we're talking about when.

1084
00:55:33,079 --> 00:55:35,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know the name is Zebulon even for a

1085
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:39,639
middle name those parents.

1086
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:39,960
Speaker 1: That's a great middle name. Though, Yeah, I don't.

1087
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 2: I don't know where you come up with that, but yeah,

1088
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:48,119
I mean, here's the thing. Brian made a great point.

1089
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,639
Zebby shot up through the organization last year. Could because

1090
00:55:51,679 --> 00:55:53,679
he's you know, he's older. He went I believe he

1091
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:55,800
went to Western Carolina, So he's like one of these

1092
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:59,039
four year college guys that didn't get to affiliated ball

1093
00:55:59,119 --> 00:56:01,880
until he was like twenty three, twenty you know, probably

1094
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:04,960
twenty two to twenty three. So he I think he

1095
00:56:05,039 --> 00:56:07,360
started in high a last year shot all the way

1096
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:10,679
up to the big leagues. And what Brian mentioned was

1097
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:13,239
very true, Like he was able to cruise through the

1098
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:16,679
miners by throwing a lot of strikes and having this

1099
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:17,559
big fastball.

1100
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:20,400
Speaker 1: But when you just live in the zone.

1101
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:22,840
Speaker 2: And you're at the big league level, you you better

1102
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:27,360
either have some serious late bite to those pitches or

1103
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:29,599
you better be able to command them within the zone

1104
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:34,039
because otherwise living in the zone in the majors doesn't

1105
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:37,719
work typically, And if you catch too much of the plate,

1106
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:40,400
big league hitters are going to expose that, and that's

1107
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:41,679
what happened to Ebie Matthews.

1108
00:56:41,679 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 1: So he's really been trying to figure out how to.

1109
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 2: Throw more balls really, but like you know, you can't

1110
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,679
just get wild and walk guys. So that's been the

1111
00:56:50,679 --> 00:56:54,519
battle for him this year. I would say he's had

1112
00:56:55,079 --> 00:56:57,360
for the most part success. Like if I'm the Twins

1113
00:56:58,199 --> 00:57:01,639
and I'm looking at his season, pretty happy with what

1114
00:57:01,679 --> 00:57:04,079
I've seen. You know, the numbers might not show that

1115
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:07,679
with the five era and the one forty four whip,

1116
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:10,719
but you know there's some games where start against the

1117
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:14,840
National seven strikeouts, six scoreless inning, seven strikeouts. He had

1118
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:18,000
nine strikeouts against the Yankees a couple starts ago, So like,

1119
00:57:18,079 --> 00:57:22,000
I definitely think it's there. The problem is, as much

1120
00:57:22,039 --> 00:57:24,360
as I'd love to find a spot to play on him,

1121
00:57:25,039 --> 00:57:27,039
how do you trust this Twins bullpen right now, And

1122
00:57:27,159 --> 00:57:31,320
it's all basically like not the you know, not top guys.

1123
00:57:31,679 --> 00:57:34,320
So they've traded away all their top guys and they

1124
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:35,800
have a lot of their better guys are still at

1125
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:36,199
triple A.

1126
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:38,440
Speaker 1: So how do you trust the guys behind him A

1127
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:39,039
and B.

1128
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:41,559
Speaker 2: Why would you ever want to pay any sort of

1129
00:57:41,599 --> 00:57:44,199
premium price for this Twins team right now? Like, if

1130
00:57:44,199 --> 00:57:46,039
you're going to take a shot with the Twins, you've

1131
00:57:46,039 --> 00:57:47,760
got to get him as an underdog. So even though

1132
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:50,440
I think this is a decent matchup for them minus

1133
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:55,039
one thirty five to minus one, it is kind of crazy,

1134
00:57:55,559 --> 00:57:56,599
so I would have to stay off.

1135
00:57:56,639 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 1: Go ahead.

1136
00:57:56,960 --> 00:58:01,920
Speaker 3: Brian just wanted to put in a week weird scheduling situation. Tomorrow,

1137
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:05,840
Tampa Bay, it's a Saturday. Tampa Bay is not playing.

1138
00:58:06,719 --> 00:58:09,760
The reason why they're not playing is they play at

1139
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:13,039
Steinbrenner Field, which is right across the street from the

1140
00:58:13,079 --> 00:58:18,159
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Stadium. The Buccaneers play it tomorrow, So

1141
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:22,079
in order to make sure that people don't have to

1142
00:58:22,119 --> 00:58:24,719
battle going in and out out of one and into

1143
00:58:24,719 --> 00:58:27,679
the other, they decided to not play it tomorrow. So

1144
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:30,440
don't look for Tampa Bay on your schedule on a Saturday,

1145
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,559
which when was the last time somebody didn't was not

1146
00:58:33,639 --> 00:58:36,079
scheduled on Saturday. Just very strange.

1147
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:41,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's interesting. I think that happened one other

1148
00:58:41,159 --> 00:58:43,840
time for the Rays this year. I think they share

1149
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:46,760
parking too, so it's like it would definitely be like

1150
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:53,039
logistical logistical nightmare if that was the case. All right,

1151
00:58:53,079 --> 00:58:56,039
it's ten o'clock. Let's recap the parlay one more time

1152
00:58:56,159 --> 00:58:58,320
on Brian. What do you want to call even money

1153
00:58:58,320 --> 00:58:58,880
for the Mets.

1154
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, now, you can still get the last time. I look,

1155
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:03,960
you can still get plus one oh seven a pinnacle,

1156
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:06,920
but you can't bet that in the United States, so

1157
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,320
that doesn't help any of us TV.

1158
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:11,599
Speaker 2: You want to give give the folks a quick promo.

1159
00:59:11,719 --> 00:59:13,199
I think Brian's got a five percent of.

1160
00:59:14,239 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 4: Brian's got a five percenter. And my apologies to Zebulon's

1161
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:20,760
parents for saying they're smoking crack. Some would say I

1162
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:23,679
look like the guy who sold it to them, So

1163
00:59:25,119 --> 00:59:29,119
my apologies to Zebulon's parents there. So Brian's got a

1164
00:59:29,159 --> 00:59:32,159
five percent out. I've got my MLB play out, Adam

1165
00:59:32,199 --> 00:59:32,960
is yours out yet?

1166
00:59:33,079 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 1: Or I gave.

1167
00:59:35,159 --> 00:59:37,239
Speaker 2: I gave the only thing I have out so far

1168
00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:39,679
today on the show Mets is a four percenter for me.

1169
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:40,719
Speaker 1: But I will have you know.

1170
00:59:40,719 --> 00:59:44,599
Speaker 4: What, But Adam usually puts a free play out even

1171
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:47,159
if he doesn't have a play for sale. I have

1172
00:59:47,199 --> 00:59:49,400
a free play up. Brian is required to put a

1173
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:51,440
free play up, so we all have a free play out.

1174
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,639
So check our page out and also leave a comment

1175
00:59:54,719 --> 00:59:56,559
on the replay of this show. It helps us out

1176
00:59:56,599 --> 00:59:59,400
more than you know. Just take ten seconds and leave

1177
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:01,599
a comment. We'll respond to them as well. You can

1178
01:00:01,599 --> 01:00:03,719
tell us that we look funny or that we are

1179
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:08,119
terrible cappers, and we will respond. But we're not terrible cappers.

1180
01:00:08,119 --> 01:00:11,559
Brian's had what eleven out of thirteen winning days, Adam's

1181
01:00:11,599 --> 01:00:13,639
number one the last thirty days, and I'm number one

1182
01:00:13,679 --> 01:00:16,360
in twenty twenty five, So you can't really say we're

1183
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:19,639
bad cappers. You can say it, but it's not really true.

1184
01:00:21,719 --> 01:00:24,360
Speaker 1: Well said TV. I think that was well said. It

1185
01:00:24,639 --> 01:00:25,079
truly is.

1186
01:00:25,199 --> 01:00:28,519
Speaker 2: It's a grind, man, It is a grind, and we're

1187
01:00:28,559 --> 01:00:32,000
just trying to help you guys with that grind. Share

1188
01:00:32,039 --> 01:00:35,079
some info and then for the crowd that says we

1189
01:00:35,119 --> 01:00:37,639
don't give enough picks. I could have sold the Mets

1190
01:00:37,639 --> 01:00:38,639
for twenty five bucks today.

1191
01:00:38,679 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 1: I just decided to give it to you guys for free,

1192
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:44,480
so we'll have to recap the parlay. Four percent for

1193
01:00:44,519 --> 01:00:45,280
me is the Mets.

1194
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:49,079
Speaker 2: We'll call it even money, which ie I think it's

1195
01:00:49,119 --> 01:00:51,280
probably going to go off minus one oh five even money,

1196
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:53,719
So even money for the Mets. That is my parlay

1197
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:55,800
leg as well. That's why I'm talking about it still.

1198
01:00:56,719 --> 01:01:00,400
Brian Leonard's going Boston Red Sox team total over three

1199
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:02,800
and a half. And then we've got Tokyo Brandon going

1200
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:06,000
Rockies team total over three and a half.

1201
01:01:06,559 --> 01:01:08,239
Speaker 1: That comes out to plus six forty five.

1202
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:10,440
Speaker 2: We started the week on Monday with a nice three

1203
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:12,159
team or let's see if we can end the week

1204
01:01:12,519 --> 01:01:16,199
with another three team winner. I think we fell one

1205
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:18,760
short yesterday. I think we were two of three, so

1206
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:22,199
let's see if we can get it done. Listen, one

1207
01:01:22,199 --> 01:01:24,599
part of a week is fine, that'll keep us afloat,

1208
01:01:24,639 --> 01:01:27,320
but two would be really great. So one more time.

1209
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:30,599
I'm on the Mets full game. These are all full games.

1210
01:01:30,599 --> 01:01:33,239
I'm on the Mets. Brian's got Red Sox team total

1211
01:01:33,239 --> 01:01:36,639
over three and a half Tokyo Brandon Rockies team total

1212
01:01:36,679 --> 01:01:39,280
over three and a half, parlay play six forty five.

1213
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 1: That's it for the week.

1214
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:43,760
Speaker 2: Have a great weekend everybody, and we'll be back Monday morning,

1215
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:44,840
nine am to see you guys.

1216
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:44,880
Speaker 1: That
