Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy pros MLB. This is leading
Speaker 1: off Rocky by Prize Picks. It's me Joey p of course,
Speaker 1: the Welsh with me always, and it's you. Our peanuts
Speaker 1: are crackerjacks, the listeners, the watchers on the YouTube channel.
Speaker 1: If you haven't already made sure you subscribe to Fantasy
Speaker 1: pros MLB, the fastest growing fantasy baseball YouTube channel on
Speaker 1: the planet. That is verified. Now I know, I've heard it,
Speaker 1: I've seen it. It's truth because I said it, Welsh.
Speaker 1: That's just how it works around these parts. What do
Speaker 1: you think about that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's how we work. Just if we
Speaker 2: say it, it is the truth. It is facts. So yes,
Speaker 2: it's facts. Joe is the most handsome, bald fantasy analyst
Speaker 2: in the land.
Speaker 1: It's a fact. Well that's true that. I mean, you
Speaker 1: can't really deny that. I can't really, you know, there's
Speaker 1: nothing to do about you know, Welsh. What I love
Speaker 1: about this show is this is a friendship show. Right.
Speaker 1: You and I are friends in real life and in work.
Speaker 1: Here are our friends here who come and watch the
Speaker 1: show every single day. But we also have other friends
Speaker 1: who are analysts and you know, people always say, you know,
Speaker 1: how real are some of these conversations and these debates
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So I wanted to share this
Speaker 1: at the top. This is this is right off the
Speaker 1: fly here. We're gonna go ahead and share this right
Speaker 1: now because I woke up to a hilarious DM conversation
Speaker 1: between myself, Nick Pollock from Picture List and Alex Fast
Speaker 1: And if you missed it, we always every year have
Speaker 1: the Great Picture Debate where the two of them give
Speaker 1: me pictures that they disagree on that they want to
Speaker 1: fight about and all this stuff, and it's so much
Speaker 1: fun because it's really heated and they really care and
Speaker 1: people say, oh, it's just a show, it's all this,
Speaker 1: No it's not. I'll tell you why. So this is
Speaker 1: what I woke up to. Hazel Sozzardo is one of
Speaker 1: Nick Pollock's guys, and then obviously Alex Fast was on
Speaker 1: the other end of this. So you can kind of
Speaker 1: see this here a little bit here, you know, trying
Speaker 1: to figure it out. Obviously can sort we think so
Speaker 1: basically Nick Pollock throwing up the stat line here.
Speaker 2: Sociology, where's my apology?
Speaker 1: Where's my apology? Followed by for what it's been two starts,
Speaker 1: he has thrown half the amount of innings. Basically that
Speaker 1: you know we were gonna look at absolutely hysterical. So
Speaker 1: these dudes just going at it and I wake up
Speaker 1: to this, which is just hysterical. And then the second one,
Speaker 1: basically it goes tell me you deserve the point he
Speaker 1: Alex Fast has go to bed. This is all like
Speaker 1: twelve thirty Eastern times, so I am Fast asleep by
Speaker 1: this time, and then Nick Pollock demanding him to say
Speaker 1: the words I still deserve that point. Also, Joe awarded
Speaker 1: the guy taking a victory lap after two starts from
Speaker 1: Alex Fast, to which I replied, what a fun conversation
Speaker 1: to wake up to in the morning. So there you go, folks,
Speaker 1: it is true. It is real. I thought it would
Speaker 1: go over the whole screen. It did not exposed us
Speaker 1: for a moment. So now Chris is in the chat
Speaker 1: and mad at us. He's gonna probably Yeah.
Speaker 2: I felt a little bit naked about that.
Speaker 1: I you know what, but that's good, you know, behind
Speaker 1: the scenes on the show, and I just love that.
Speaker 1: So Lozardo off to a great start. So my other
Speaker 1: guy offer some good starts too. Let's talk about the headlines.
Speaker 1: Jordan Walker his first big league home run had to
Speaker 1: feel good for the Welsh, A big Jordan Walker guy.
Speaker 1: I got on the home run board yesterday with our
Speaker 1: friend Wander Franco. He was our prize pick. He was
Speaker 1: our guy in DFS. He was our man about town
Speaker 1: yesterday for home runs his second of the year. He's
Speaker 1: having a fantastic start to his season. Vlad Deerrero going
Speaker 1: deep in the win over the Royals. Alec Manoa looking good.
Speaker 1: Also a bounce back start for him. Seven shoutout of things.
Speaker 1: It was against the Royals. I don't really care. Pete
Speaker 1: Alonzo two home run game, his fifteenth career multi home game.
Speaker 1: He had been struggling. He shaved a mustache Welsh. He'sh
Speaker 1: even as a mustache.
Speaker 2: I'm going to stop. I'm going to stop you there too,
Speaker 2: because I didn't tell everybody this and it could be
Speaker 2: revisionist if you want to play revisionist my friends. But
Speaker 2: Peet Alnzo was gonna be my coin flip guy. Remember
Speaker 2: I do the coin flip. He was where my heart
Speaker 2: was going, but I stuck with my head and I
Speaker 2: didn't even do it. When I saw you hit two
Speaker 2: Homers and I saw you got Wander Franco. My heart
Speaker 2: was crushed. I don't think I'm ever going to get
Speaker 2: a Homer. I think that's become official. I don't think
Speaker 2: I will ever.
Speaker 1: There's the board right now. Off to a hot start
Speaker 1: is BHB Daddy, so I'm not sure who that is.
Speaker 1: That's a newbie. I don't remember that name from last year.
Speaker 1: Randy is always good at the home run contest. Randy's
Speaker 1: got four primetimes, got four. But yeah, Welsh, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's been a slow start, but that's okay. It's not
Speaker 1: how you start, it's how you finished the home run
Speaker 1: contest at the end of the day, you know.
Speaker 2: And also on that board, you know, slightly put into
Speaker 2: there that no one knows about if you put it
Speaker 2: back up for a second shoe. It's not just a
Speaker 2: Corbyn Carrol signed helmet that you can win the Sids Grafs,
Speaker 2: my friends. It is going to be custom inscribed to
Speaker 2: say Fantasy Pros Home Run Champion. And I will more
Speaker 2: than likely be there for that signing. It's very there's
Speaker 2: a possibility it doesn't happen, but I may be there
Speaker 2: at that signing to get it done. And I will
Speaker 2: video it. Otherwise we'll get sids Grafs to do it.
Speaker 2: But that will be what the home run winner wins
Speaker 2: and inscribed with the autograph and everything, and it's a
Speaker 2: Fantasy Pro's home run Champion by the lovely Corbyn Carrol.
Speaker 1: All right, so pete a Lonzo with the big game,
Speaker 1: but another Mets loss. They're slow out of the gate. Also,
Speaker 1: Omar Nevaia's probably going to the IL. So Francisco Alvarez
Speaker 1: are joining the Mets. It looks like on Friday they
Speaker 1: are canceled game and moved at the afternoon. All kinds
Speaker 1: of crazy stuff. Garrett Mitchell, that's in game, by the way,
Speaker 1: walk off homer against the Mets. He stays hot. Choiotani
Speaker 1: struck out eight after a slow start against the Ms.
Speaker 1: He gets the W there. Dylan Cees got a W
Speaker 1: but he did issue five walks in that game over
Speaker 1: the Giants. And Grayson Rodriguez his debut five innings, five k's,
Speaker 1: one walk to earned. Pretty darned good it Gayson Rodriguez yesterday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a great debut. He started off not good.
Speaker 2: He got better as the start went on. He had
Speaker 2: fourteen swing and misses. That was overshadowed by de Gram's
Speaker 2: twenty five, which was crazy. Fastball looked great, fastball was
Speaker 2: popping and was able to set up the secondary pitches.
Speaker 2: I am very very encouraged by Grayson Rodriguez. Ads should
Speaker 2: everybody else just for Cody Rhodes.
Speaker 1: Yes, I love this, and yes because we got you know,
Speaker 1: because we took the board away for a split second,
Speaker 1: people saw my Hogwarts short shirt rather not shorts. That
Speaker 1: would be cool too, And.
Speaker 2: I'm really glad we didn't see your Hogwarts shorts because.
Speaker 1: I don't know that's what it is. Anybody wanted, hey there,
Speaker 1: would you like to go to Hogshorts? I'd love to
Speaker 1: go awa and see it. To answer your question, mister buster,
Speaker 1: I am actually do you want to guess? Are you
Speaker 1: a Harry Potter guy? I don't know. This will be
Speaker 1: more fun.
Speaker 2: Are you asking me?
Speaker 1: Mayor? Are you available today and actually working? I don't
Speaker 1: know if Mayor is actually in the chat today. Let's
Speaker 1: put up a pole if people could guess what house
Speaker 1: I am from. Is it Gryffind or is it Slytherin?
Speaker 1: Is it Hufflepuff or is it Raven Claud That's a
Speaker 1: fun one. And then I will tell you because I
Speaker 1: have taken the test of course, about to.
Speaker 2: Say, how do we know how I actually I just
Speaker 2: finished the movies like Scientology.
Speaker 1: It's a whole thing.
Speaker 2: You're definitely a Slytherin.
Speaker 1: You're definitely okay, well said Slytherin. I will reveal I
Speaker 1: see fantasy pros actually here saying that I'm a hufflepuff.
Speaker 1: So mayor throw a pole up for the people.
Speaker 2: Let them just keep yours in your shorts, please.
Speaker 1: I do what I can. Let's talk about the injuries
Speaker 1: and maybe some guys whose Hogwarts fell out of their
Speaker 1: shirts yesterday or their shorts. Jazz Chisholm. This injury looked
Speaker 1: bad at the time. I gotta tell you, I thought
Speaker 1: this was bad news. For sure, he is day to day.
Speaker 1: It was just a stinger in the shoulder. But Welsh,
Speaker 1: all I could think was, oh no, here we go again.
Speaker 1: I was sliding into the base. Cruz left win his
Speaker 1: game with an injury to his face with a slide too.
Speaker 1: I will say this, I've seen some moments where the
Speaker 1: big bases have actually averted some injuries, and this Cruise
Speaker 1: one might have been one too, because had he had
Speaker 1: to go in an even more narrow path, it could
Speaker 1: have been more dangerous, So the big basses are helping.
Speaker 1: There also not helping Aaron Ashby season ending shoulder surgery
Speaker 1: most likely happening Kyle Bradish to the IL too. I know.
Speaker 1: Bradish was another player that a lot of the fantasy
Speaker 1: community was very excited about this year, so that's a
Speaker 1: bit of a bummer. Derek Hall removed from Wednesday's game
Speaker 1: the fifth inning with a thumb sprains. Will keep an
Speaker 1: eye on that. Kyle Wright six innings in triple A
Speaker 1: and the MRI shows reduced inflammation for Verlander, but Welsh
Speaker 1: there's no timetable yet. So although this is good news
Speaker 1: for Verlander, what's your expectation for him returning.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think once like, I don't think they're
Speaker 2: going to put him out until he's one hundred percent,
Speaker 2: which is good and bad. Obviously when he gets out there,
Speaker 2: you don't want him to reaggravate, but they're taking it slow.
Speaker 2: I remember when he had this injury, he was like,
Speaker 2: this is the best case scenario outside of it being nothing,
Speaker 2: and I was like, okay, I mean I would say
Speaker 2: there's probably twelve other things that are best case scenario
Speaker 2: before missing significant time. I would imagine it's probably like
Speaker 2: a one rehab start type of thing. I think two
Speaker 2: or three weeks. It looks like probably may may he
Speaker 2: gets back.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm guessing too. I'm thinking Memorial Day is
Speaker 1: probably a good realistic expectation for him because you got
Speaker 1: to ramp back up and things like this. And look,
Speaker 1: you know Mayor has multiple Harry Potter tattoos. This I know.
Speaker 1: So is that true, Mayor? Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: He's got the whole sleep going. It's very cool, very cool.
Speaker 1: Absolutely wonky penguin chiming in here. She's a Slytherin, So
Speaker 1: I must be a Slytherin because walky penguin I do
Speaker 1: have an evil twine. I mean, we shall see. But
Speaker 1: I want to see the results of that poll. I
Speaker 1: don't know where that is. Mary, you got to drop
Speaker 1: that in.
Speaker 2: Where do you take the test? I want to know
Speaker 2: what house?
Speaker 1: Simon, you go online, you go online, you take the test,
Speaker 1: you do the whole thing. So how long does it take?
Speaker 2: Should I do it right now?
Speaker 1: Well, it depends. I don't do it right now. You
Speaker 1: do it for tomorrow. By the way, on Tomorrow show,
Speaker 1: you gotta watch on the YouTube because Welsh cut together
Speaker 1: the video of the best of our unathletic competition over
Speaker 1: at David Busters the other day, which was super fun.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's all done, and I'll let the Fantasy
Speaker 2: pros higher ups decide there's a full four and a
Speaker 2: half minute cut and then the person will never allow that.
Speaker 2: No no, no, but not on here. But if they want
Speaker 2: to do something else with it, but we'll play the
Speaker 2: the show else.
Speaker 1: What they want to do with a four minute video
Speaker 1: of us in the idiot, I have no idea anyone
Speaker 1: wanting to watch that.
Speaker 2: It's content content.
Speaker 1: This is low, this is low. I wish I could
Speaker 1: have put squib on the poll. You know what squib is?
Speaker 2: I don't know what a squib is.
Speaker 1: That's somebody who is born to magic parents and has
Speaker 1: no magic. That's sad, that's an insult.
Speaker 2: That's not a what's what are the people called the
Speaker 2: I don't know. Watch it with the human parents, with
Speaker 2: the human parents, and they're with a Muggle. That's a muggle. Okay,
Speaker 2: so a muib and a muggle.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: The Harry Potters are fun. My kid is obsessed with them.
Speaker 2: And we just finished the movies. But I gotta tell you,
Speaker 2: when we start saying the words out loud, it is
Speaker 2: beyond ridiculous of how comfortable you are talking about muggles
Speaker 2: and squibs and hogwarts.
Speaker 1: I'm a huge fan, read all the books I did see.
Speaker 1: I was lucky see the books came out of a
Speaker 1: couple of the books came out before the movies came out.
Speaker 1: And then I started doing a book a year and
Speaker 1: watching the movie when it came out live in the theater.
Speaker 1: So I was on a fun cycle of reading the book,
Speaker 1: seeing the movie, reading the books, seeing the movie every
Speaker 1: single year for like seven years. It was tremendous. It
Speaker 1: was really good.
Speaker 2: Can we just get back to real words like wOBA
Speaker 2: and wOBA khan?
Speaker 1: Sure, and let's do that. Here's some just for fun,
Speaker 1: Tim Anderson, this is the second guy in two days
Speaker 1: to get ejected for the pitch clock violation because he
Speaker 1: got into an hardument afterwards. So that's gonna be a
Speaker 1: fun thing for quite some time. Show Aotani became the
Speaker 1: first player in Major League Baseball history get a clock
Speaker 1: violation on the mound and in the at the plate
Speaker 1: in the same game. Is fantastic. So there's your daily
Speaker 1: showe Aotani stuff and Logan o'hope second home run Welsh,
Speaker 1: this is feeling pretty good. He is rostered in just
Speaker 1: forty percent of leagues. I think you should pick him
Speaker 1: up anywhere. He did not make the video yesterday of
Speaker 1: the ads, but I'm telling everybody here he would have
Speaker 1: been that next guy. For me, I would absolutely be
Speaker 1: adding Logan Ohapy because Catcher is a nightmare. I know
Speaker 1: people are really excited about Travis Darnaut in his hot start.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Ketcher for a second. Darnaul's hot start
Speaker 1: kind of suppressed Murphy. Everybody was very into Murphy this year.
Speaker 1: That hasn't gone their way. What do you think of
Speaker 1: those three catchers rest of season? Would you rather have Murphy,
Speaker 1: Darnault or ohampe Murphy.
Speaker 2: You said Sean Murphy did that. That's where you put
Speaker 2: the wrinkle in it. Like, I think Darnaul's in a
Speaker 2: great position because that team is very committed and they
Speaker 2: said when they acquired Sean Murphy they were committed to
Speaker 2: him being the DH. I don't think that's going to change,
Speaker 2: and the bat's been pretty hot. I'm worried about Sean Murphy.
Speaker 2: He I think he's played three of the six last games,
Speaker 2: and Darnaul's played every single one. I don't know what
Speaker 2: level of DH he's going to keep going. At some point,
Speaker 2: Von Grissom's going to come up here. Logan o'happy didn't
Speaker 2: have anything guaranteed, but the bat is coming alive, and
Speaker 2: when Stassy comes back, I don't think it's going to change.
Speaker 2: I hate this for the now. I think I could
Speaker 2: go Darnault o Happy Murphy, but I personally, I don't
Speaker 2: think I could cut Sean Murphy right now because I
Speaker 2: think in about a month or so. Yeah, I think
Speaker 2: in a month or so, Ohapy is back into a
Speaker 2: little bit of a thing with Stassy, and I don't
Speaker 2: think that Sean Murphy is going to lose significant time.
Speaker 2: I think they're slow rolling him. So you know what,
Speaker 2: I should go back to it it's Darnault Murphy, Ohapy.
Speaker 2: I hate to do it. The catchup position does come
Speaker 2: stink at the end. I do think there's some fluidness
Speaker 2: in like twelve teams, but fifteen teams. I couldn't make
Speaker 2: that move of like.
Speaker 1: Here's my here's my case for o'happy. At the top
Speaker 1: of this group. Darneault always hurt, so that's always.
Speaker 2: Gonna happending a lot more ding.
Speaker 1: Yes, good helpful for sure. But you know, as long
Speaker 1: as Otani is throwing to a hoppy and as long
Speaker 1: as the pitcher's like throwing to him and they're having
Speaker 1: good starts, that's a big positive. You know. Sometimes you
Speaker 1: see that where the guys, you know, they don't have
Speaker 1: the best starts because the second their main catcher is
Speaker 1: not available or what have you. That's something to keep
Speaker 1: an eye on. Let's go to a question from the
Speaker 1: chat too, because Big Poppy's got one here. Should I
Speaker 1: sell high on Wander Franco. This is a big old
Speaker 1: no for me, Big Poppy. No, Just enjoy the molfungo
Speaker 1: and continue to watch Wander Franco just pelt baseballs all
Speaker 1: over the ballpark. I know they's only faced like some
Speaker 1: crappy teams. I know they're undefeated, but still, I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't care. Wonder Franco looks like a million bucks
Speaker 1: right now. So does a rose of Rain for that
Speaker 1: matter too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then this is what I was all about.
Speaker 2: This is why he was like a massive buyback in
Speaker 2: for me, and I had him above guys like Dansby Swanson.
Speaker 2: This year was because we saw this is what he
Speaker 2: did last April and then he got hurt and that
Speaker 2: wrist was just down and he really didn't ever recover
Speaker 2: and find his power back. Looks like everything is working
Speaker 2: in great strides right now and this was like my
Speaker 2: whole point of buying into him. So I don't think
Speaker 2: you could sell him for a point that's actually worth it,
Speaker 2: because if this does continue into May and whatnot, you're
Speaker 2: gonna have a three hundred plus hitter with homers and
Speaker 2: stolen bases, and he's probably going to be closer to worth,
Speaker 2: like a top twenty five thirty overall player. So no, don't.
Speaker 2: I don't think I'm selling him right now.
Speaker 1: All right, fair enough, by the way, mayor what are
Speaker 1: the results of the poll? I need to see that
Speaker 1: because I don't want to. I don't want to. I
Speaker 1: want to give people time.
Speaker 2: If you're a snurfle of puff or whatever, snurfing door.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm making stuff up. I'm sorry, I disrespect it.
Speaker 1: I do love that one person who did a TikTok
Speaker 1: where it's Harry Potter is just Star Wars with worst
Speaker 1: lights and then they continued to find all the crossover
Speaker 1: things that are exactly the same, which was pretty spectacular.
Speaker 1: I gotta say pretty spectacle.
Speaker 2: Okay, I see that. Yeah, like the what was.
Speaker 1: Tied right now? Oh my god, what is a tie between?
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated.
Speaker 2: I doubt what are they like? Because what are they?
Speaker 2: The toufflepuff, Ravenclaw.
Speaker 1: Slytherin in Gryffindor.
Speaker 2: And something is taught. You're what are you guys doing?
Speaker 2: He says Slytherin, There's look at that face, look at
Speaker 2: that chin, look at the chin line, and the that's
Speaker 2: a Slytherin one hundred fun fact.
Speaker 1: Alan Rickman actually taught a class when I was at Oxford.
Speaker 1: It was super fun class with Alan Rickman. Do you
Speaker 1: have another famous Slytherin there? Just saying, you know, just
Speaker 1: just saying, all right, let's go to three up and
Speaker 1: three downs. One of the best and worst from yesterday,
Speaker 1: Jacob de gram Man. This one this is just this
Speaker 1: is pain. This is pain for me. Eleven K's six innings.
Speaker 2: Twenty five swing and missus good. I don't know, it's
Speaker 2: just going perfect through four? Is that good?
Speaker 1: That's good? It's good? Thirty first eleven plus strikeout game.
Speaker 1: That's the fourth most since twenty fourteen. So de Grom's
Speaker 1: look great. Can it sustain? We shall find out if
Speaker 1: it does. If Justin Verlander puts in an injury plague
Speaker 1: season and Jacob de Grom goes off, it is great. Man.
Speaker 1: The Mets front office is kinda takes such a shellacking,
Speaker 1: And you know what, I can't blame them for the
Speaker 1: decision they made. I wouldn't do it, but they're gonna
Speaker 1: They're gonna get it from the fan base. You know
Speaker 1: they're gonna get it. Garrett Cole, he gave it yesterday
Speaker 1: eight more strikeouts for him. That era is point seventy three.
Speaker 1: Right now, he is now two to zero on the season.
Speaker 1: He went six and a third, give up just one
Speaker 1: earned run, three walks, and Hazel's WIZARDO who is the
Speaker 1: guy that Nick Pollock and Alex Fast continue to fight
Speaker 1: back and forth about seven innings ten K's one walk,
Speaker 1: one earned run, point seven to one era? Is this
Speaker 1: the Lozardo breakout years? We finally get the complete season
Speaker 1: of dominance from Lozardo? And if we do, along with
Speaker 1: Sandy al Contra, are the Marlins particularly an interesting team
Speaker 1: to be looking at long term, maybe a little bit
Speaker 1: feistier than we realize.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder if the team, too, like considers down
Speaker 2: the road maybe even looking at acquiring pieces, because they've
Speaker 2: got some, you know, especially maybe bullpen pieces, but they've
Speaker 2: got some of the rotation, heges Lozardo yesterday, when you
Speaker 2: look at swing and misses, had six or more swing
Speaker 2: and misses on all three of his pitches. He threw
Speaker 2: double digit percentage of the time. That makes sense. So
Speaker 2: three pitches he threw over ten percent of the time,
Speaker 2: they all had at least six swing and misses. That's crazy.
Speaker 2: We don't see that. I think it was seven, seven
Speaker 2: and six.
Speaker 1: So do the map.
Speaker 2: There's twenty. It's pretty absurd stuff. If he's good, and
Speaker 2: then you have al Contra, and then you've got you know,
Speaker 2: the rest of the crew that's coming in. They might
Speaker 2: just be a bat or two away from doing something
Speaker 2: interesting in that division. Will they actually, I don't know,
Speaker 2: but Lozardo definitely I'm in for the breakout this year.
Speaker 1: All right, three down here, lots of Corbin's in this
Speaker 1: list today. Let's start with Patrick Corbin. Another lass here.
Speaker 1: Someone yesterday asked, why is the chat I saw it
Speaker 1: in the chat. I remember who it was. Why is
Speaker 1: Patrick Corbyn still pitching? The answer to that question is
Speaker 1: because he has owed millions of dollars, so they're gonna try.
Speaker 1: They're just gonna give it a shot. Six more earned
Speaker 1: runs for him. Whenever you see Patrick Corbyn on the slate,
Speaker 1: just attack it, just with everything you've got.
Speaker 2: Just somebody suck it. Somebody asked me who would you
Speaker 2: rather have Patrick Corman or Madison Bumgarner, and I was like, no.
Speaker 1: Have what have do? What like? Have all my hitters
Speaker 1: go against?
Speaker 2: That's time well to play against Patrick.
Speaker 1: Corbin seventeen hits over his first nine innings so far
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three. Fun fact there, I mean at
Speaker 1: Corbyn Burns was not much better. Four and a third
Speaker 1: for him that era is up to nine point sixty four.
Speaker 1: He gave up six runs, all of them earned just
Speaker 1: three strikeouts. Are we concerned here with Corbyn Burns or
Speaker 1: is this the window to buy low on one of
Speaker 1: the best pitchers in baseball? Because this is very Unburns,
Speaker 1: like we've seen a hiccup or two before. I kind
Speaker 1: of this.
Speaker 2: I know this is gonna sound stupid. I said this
Speaker 2: on CBS last night. It's kind of both, Like I
Speaker 2: am worried. I'm worried. There was a one point seven
Speaker 2: VLO downtick on his cutter, His slider was down, everything
Speaker 2: was down.
Speaker 1: Spin was still good.
Speaker 2: He doesn't seem to be finding his spots, and this
Speaker 2: is carrying over from last year. I'm worried about that.
Speaker 2: But what also has to be known is April is
Speaker 2: the best best time to be able to buy in
Speaker 2: on top end players. It's really the only time you're
Speaker 2: gonna get the best potential discount you have. If you
Speaker 2: ever want to buy at any type of discount, you
Speaker 2: know the top stars, the only time to do it
Speaker 2: is when they struggle. So you've got to come to
Speaker 2: terms with like do you believe the track record is
Speaker 2: enough and it can be fixed. April tends to be
Speaker 2: a time where you see vload down ticks and you
Speaker 2: see weird adjustments. So I actually think I would, But
Speaker 2: if you get like two more starts of this, then
Speaker 2: I might regret the trade that I make. But I
Speaker 2: kind of feel like this can get fixed. So yes,
Speaker 2: I am in the concerned territory of the vload down,
Speaker 2: but I also think this would be an opportunity for
Speaker 2: any of these guys, the Gallons and the him and
Speaker 2: any of these great players that start struggling, this is
Speaker 2: a good time to buy.
Speaker 1: I wonder if it's a little bit of a mental
Speaker 1: thing too. You know that heated arbitration thing in the
Speaker 1: off sea and yeah, where you know, things didn't really
Speaker 1: go well, and I think he kind of wants out.
Speaker 1: But look, if you want out, you got a pitch. Well, like,
Speaker 1: the Brewers aren't going anywhere, and I if that's true,
Speaker 1: then this is gonna be a tough situation for you.
Speaker 1: But I still think the Brewers will be fun.
Speaker 2: The Brewers are like that was it from like Billy Madison,
Speaker 2: He's like the lipstick on. They're writing the names. They're
Speaker 2: just writing down the starts early season. They're like, yeah,
Speaker 2: we're gonna take this arbitration. They're just right character.
Speaker 1: Yeah, listening to a little elo, kind of hanging out.
Speaker 1: Last guy on the three down, Uh, David Peterson, my guy,
Speaker 1: five hundred runs against the Brewers yesterday. Five walks, No boy,
Speaker 1: no in the five strikeouts. But the five walks that
Speaker 1: is a problem with not a problem of course, is
Speaker 1: our sponsor prize picks they're fun. Here a good time

Speaker 1: I've got a couple I feel really good about today.
Speaker 1: It's a shorter slate obviously because it's Thursday. But what
Speaker 1: do you have a prize picking is that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I struggled. I was really by the way. You
Speaker 2: want to talk about the fun cool things they do.
Speaker 2: One of my favorites is the combos, and they have
Speaker 2: a combo today that I almost I want to do
Speaker 2: and I might even bend myself on. It's Snell and
Speaker 2: Striders strikeouts together. But it's at fourteen. I think that's
Speaker 2: a pretty good one. I might jump in on it.
Speaker 2: I didn't put this on this.
Speaker 1: I like the duo one something. I had a duo one?
Speaker 1: Was it yesterday? I think I had a duo one.
Speaker 2: I like.
Speaker 1: I like the two first or you said that or
Speaker 1: opening Day one of those two that I had that,
Speaker 1: But I keep an eye out for those because those
Speaker 1: are fun and they pop up later too.
Speaker 2: That was one of my favorite favorite ones here. So
Speaker 2: what I got on the slate for today is I've
Speaker 2: got Freddy Freeman Fantasy score seven and a half again.
Speaker 2: Price Picks probably the most generous as far as the
Speaker 2: points they give you get for walks, hit by pitch
Speaker 2: runs are going up against the Diamondbacks and Merrill Kelly.
Speaker 2: I love that for Freddy Freeman tonight, I'll be at
Speaker 2: that game. Vlad Guerrero Junior score eight and a half
Speaker 2: Fantasy score again. It's a good matchup. Hit a homer yesterday,
Speaker 2: walks in on it, They're gonna I've definitely been walked
Speaker 2: to death in a couple places, by the way, so
Speaker 2: Vladimcguerrero score eight and a half and this one I
Speaker 2: really really dicey on, but I'm gonna go with it
Speaker 2: because of Glad Jordan Lyles outs under fifteen and a half.
Speaker 2: So what they're saying is is can he go five
Speaker 2: and one third last April? He only did it one
Speaker 2: of his four starts in April one much better offense.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go with the under on outs for
Speaker 2: Jordan Lyles.
Speaker 1: I like that a lot. That's a really astute one.
Speaker 1: I have got ray Field Devers. I did fantasy points
Speaker 1: today because I didn't like some of them matchups and
Speaker 1: some of the things.
Speaker 2: It's a rough it's a rough slate.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a rough slave for DFS is rough slave
Speaker 1: for everything. Prize pects for me over eight and a
Speaker 1: half of the fantasy points for Raffield Deverz in this
Speaker 1: matchup against Detroit Vlad against the Royals over it and
Speaker 1: a half fantasy points and Freddie Freeman seven and a
Speaker 1: half fantasy points against the d Backs, which you'll be
Speaker 1: at the game tonight. I believe with Scott Bogman.
Speaker 2: Mister mister Scott Bagman on Fantasy on my co ord
Speaker 2: of in this league, he is he made it into Arizona,
Speaker 2: laid his out his playing. His plane got delayed four times.
Speaker 2: He was out of Texas and he made it late
Speaker 2: last night. And I will be seeing him in a
Speaker 2: couple hours and we will be doing the downtown, so
Speaker 2: make sure to follow on Twitter. Is that the Welsh
Speaker 2: we'll be doing stuff there. But yes, you and I
Speaker 2: tailing the lad and Freddy Freeman in which I will
Speaker 2: say takes us to the MLB bets. If we're making
Speaker 2: some bets here, I want you guys to all be
Speaker 2: aware of what I am doing. I'm going to the game,
Speaker 2: so I need to be invested. I have some Dodger
Speaker 2: Diamondback Games bets here. So my number one bet of
Speaker 2: the day I'm going with Freddy Freeman total basis. So
Speaker 2: I'm very committed to this one. Today it's minus one
Speaker 2: ten total bases. It's one and a half over, so
Speaker 2: I need two singles, a double or obviously Homer and
Speaker 2: everything gets it for me. I have two Corbyn Carrol
Speaker 2: bets two and it's because I'm involved in the game.
Speaker 2: One I'm going big Shot stolen base plus three seventy.
Speaker 2: He actually has a decent track record versus Dustin May.
Speaker 2: It's at home. Maybe he'll hit higher in the order.
Speaker 2: I don't know, so plus three seventy on a stolen
Speaker 2: base at home for Corbyn Carrol, one of my favorite
Speaker 2: little ones to do it. Didn't hit it yesterday, Corbin
Speaker 2: Carroll and Ronald Acunya hits only need one each that
Speaker 2: pays plus one forty eight. That's a little hit parlay again.
Speaker 2: You don't have to follow me here because I'm going
Speaker 2: a little bit of diamondback heavy. And then my last
Speaker 2: one is another little parlay here to moneyline team parlay
Speaker 2: Atlanta in Toronto today like Strider, I like Toronto with
Speaker 2: Gosman today. Put those two together, it's almost one and
Speaker 2: a half times your money. And I put those together
Speaker 2: for my best bets of the day.
Speaker 1: I like that. Don't forget everybody. We've also got the
Speaker 1: Betting pros dot Com slash leading Off. You can join
Speaker 1: and track your bets. By the way, if you watched
Speaker 1: yesterday's show or listened and you got the parley in
Speaker 1: on time, we hit it Milwaukee, Houston, LA. Got all
Speaker 1: three of plus two eighty eight. It was a nice day.
Speaker 1: I want to do it again. I'm going with with
Speaker 1: Welsh Hats, which is Toronto Atlanta. But I'm adding one more.
Speaker 1: I'm manning the White Sox into the mix at plus
Speaker 1: two ninety three the combination there because they got a
Speaker 1: Lance Lynn taking the mound today. I feel really good
Speaker 1: about that. So give me that one. Kyle Frieland two
Speaker 1: and a half earned runs over Josiah Gray two and
Speaker 1: a half runs over Austin Riley one and a half
Speaker 1: total bases over as well. Now the over for Riley's
Speaker 1: on DK the other two for the pitchers that's over
Speaker 1: on Caesars if you look into that. And again Betting Pros,
Speaker 1: we got the prop bet cheet sheet. It drops everything
Speaker 1: right there where you can make the bet and it's
Speaker 1: very easy to do.
Speaker 2: It is Funday and also just want to put out
Speaker 2: you can also track us in that group either way
Speaker 2: if you want to follow with our individual bets. I'm
Speaker 2: doing it every single day. I think I have, you know,
Speaker 2: decent record going on so far. My bets were two

Speaker 2: you want to do that on Betting Pros one of

Speaker 1: It's just easier Betting pros app. It's easy, it's fun,
Speaker 1: it's good DFS today again, keep it simple, lance Lynn
Speaker 1: Spencer Schreider or those are two pictures. I'm using You're
Speaker 1: gonna have to find some discounts there. But the White
Speaker 1: Sox are pretty modestly priced. I'll get a stack White Sox,
Speaker 1: and even Colorado's moderately priced to you. Even guys like
Speaker 1: Tovar haven't hit yet. Just continue to kind of push
Speaker 1: in the middle for that value plays too. On Fandle.
Speaker 1: You got Brandon Belt at two point two, you got
Speaker 1: Corman Carroll a two point seven. Welsh is already in
Speaker 1: on him, but I'm in on him as well today.
Speaker 1: And then it comes to the home run calls here.
Speaker 1: But before we get to the whole run call, just
Speaker 1: want to stop all of the wondering and answer the question.
Speaker 1: Joey p is indeed a Slytherin. Of course I'm a Slytherin.
Speaker 1: Of course I'm a bad guy. I'm a bad guy
Speaker 1: who does good things sometimes That's what I am. Malfoy,
Speaker 1: Professor Snape, Oh okay, bad things my daughters are. My
Speaker 1: oldest is a hufflepuff, She's a total hufflepuff. And the
Speaker 1: youngest one is a griffindor good intention but mischievous and
Speaker 1: gets into trouble, but typically for the you know, for
Speaker 1: amusement and fun, not for evil like me, like her
Speaker 1: old man. She's wiley like her old man. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I want to see while she got to take the
Speaker 1: test and come back tomorrow. I'll do it. I'll do it.
Speaker 2: I'll do it right after this too.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm going a little off the beaten path day.
Speaker 1: I'm going Andrew Vaughn. He looked good yesterday. Vaughn's with
Speaker 1: one of my guys. I like this match up. Today,
Speaker 1: I'm sticking with the White Sox. He is my home
Speaker 1: run call. Welsh, Where are you going for your home
Speaker 1: run call today?
Speaker 2: You can, you know, get the tea leaves here. You
Speaker 2: can pick the trends of what I did in price picks,
Speaker 2: what I did in the bets. No it is not
Speaker 2: Corbyn Carroll. By the way, my favorite of the questions
Speaker 2: in here was what is the over for Corman Carroll
Speaker 2: walk today? It should be plus fifteen hundred because he
Speaker 2: doesn't have a walk on the year and he's never
Speaker 2: gonna walk apparently. I'm not going to Corman Carre. I'm
Speaker 2: going Freddy Freeman, Freddy Freeman at home. It's a little
Speaker 2: bit of mass schism here because I'll be at the game.
Speaker 2: It'll break my heart. Meryll doesn't and it hasn't really
Speaker 2: looked fantastic, and Freddie Freeman has a pretty good track record,
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go with Freddy Freeman. I'm trying to
Speaker 2: get on the dang board. I just can't seem to
Speaker 2: do it, and I don't. I kind of have a
Speaker 2: secondary one, but I'm not gonna mention it. We're not
Speaker 2: busting out the coin. I'm not busting out the coining
Speaker 2: you got.
Speaker 1: You gotta go with the gut, that's the thing.
Speaker 2: Well, no, the heart also has paid off, Joe, and
Speaker 2: I missed the heart is because of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, heart of the gut of the mind. There's too
Speaker 1: many things. It's a lot going on. What's Mayor picking today?
Speaker 1: Maryor is picking Adam Duvall? Is that true? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: like that one.
Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, I like it.
Speaker 1: That's a good one too. And again, if you want
Speaker 1: to get in on this, Fantasy words dot Com slash Chat,
Speaker 1: join the discord, join the home run channel. It's super fun.

Speaker 2: are floating out there as well. Even though you know
