We got a great show for 4 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: you today, if you can believe it. 5 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 2: Already a quarter of. 6 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: The way through the Major League Baseball season and it's 7 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: time to take some temperatures. So we're gonna take a 8 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 1: look at some MLB bets thanks to betting pros consensus numbers, 9 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: We're gonna take a look at the World Series. We're 10 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: gonna take a look at division winners, or we're even 11 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 1: gonna take a look at some MLB awards with a 12 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: very very special guest and good friend of mine. You 13 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,559 Speaker 1: can see him every single Sunday on Sportscried with Me 14 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: joeyp for the last year. How he put up with 15 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: me for an entire year plus every single Sunday of 16 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: his life, nobody knows. You could also check him out 17 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: on The Better's Eye, which is a new show on 18 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: MLB dot Com. It's also made appearances on MLB Network 19 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: and some other cool MLB advanced media where they go 20 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: through the best bets of the day. And you may 21 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: also remember him and see him currently in the wrestling 22 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: world calling matches on Impact Wrestling, and of course he 23 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: was a WWE superstar, but he's always a superstar in 24 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: my heart. He's the one, the only Matt Striker. Matti 25 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: bonus time with me. What kind of bet did you lose? 26 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: That's the question. 27 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 3: And then the glowing accolades you forgot to include, friend, 28 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 3: But fair enough, man, that of all the things I've 29 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 3: achieved in my life, I think I'm having the most 30 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 3: fun right now. Baseball betting is the thing. Everyone is 31 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 3: accepting it, States are understanding it, and I think just 32 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 3: as a society collectively, we're looking at it differently. This 33 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 3: is fun and this can be done well if you 34 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 3: have some inside information. 35 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: So I'm down, man, absolutely, And you know what I 36 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: should have led with friend, But and I usually like 37 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: embarrassing you in public too. Yet yet I missed this opportunity. 38 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: I'll be sure on Sunday to do it again. But 39 00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: Matt and I do a show every Sunday together. If 40 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: you this kind of banter on sports grew from eight 41 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: to ten am every single weekend, recapping the week that 42 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: was a Major League baseball and looking ahead. And I 43 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: think that new show you've got right now, The Better's 44 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: Eye is terrific. 45 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 2: You and Keith do a phenomenal job on it. I 46 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 2: have seen it. You guys are crushing it. 47 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: And like Matt said, I mean, betting on baseball now 48 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: is such an acceptable thing, which is such a culture shock. 49 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but coming from this world 50 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,239 Speaker 1: where all betting on baseball was such taboo to now 51 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: on the bottom of MLB network, when you get the 52 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: starting pitchers, you get the lines for the games, isn't 53 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: that a little culture shock for you? 54 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 4: Two? Yes and no. 55 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 3: Again, As a society, we're moving to systemically remove things 56 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,519 Speaker 3: or remove things that we interpret to be systemic part 57 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 3: of me. So with that said, there's good and bad 58 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 3: in everything. But when you look at the joy of 59 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 3: wagering on baseball, using math, using knowledge, using fandom, there 60 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 3: is nothing back room about it. There is nothing wrong 61 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 3: with it. So I think, with that regard, if that's 62 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 3: the culture shocked, then good, let that shock dissipate. It's 63 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 3: about knowing that Clay Ray really hits that slider seventy 64 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 3: three percent of the time, and picture A really throws 65 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 3: that slider. 66 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 4: Here's some money on math. 67 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: Ah, money on math from the teacher, from the former professor. 68 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: I love that money on math. That's gonna be his 69 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: new hashtag and all right, stuff like, so write it down. 70 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 2: Get it in there. 71 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: All right, let's start with some player futures here for MVP, 72 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: and we'll start in the American League. The consensus betting 73 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: pros number is plus one sixty for Mike Trout. He 74 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: is still the favorite and still a wide favorite at that. 75 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: It varies in place to place, but typically one sixties 76 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: about that number you're getting, You're getting Shoyotani now creeping 77 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: in is the number two consensus at plus seven hundred, 78 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: Vladgermero at ten to one, and then young Carlos Stanton 79 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: after this incredible hot two weeks that he's put together 80 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: at plus eighteen. Now, Stan would be a great story 81 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: for MVP, but we all know all the injuries are 82 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: concerned Byron Buxton just a week ago before his injury 83 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: was actually the number two or three guy, and my 84 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: guy show Hao Tom. He's still sticking around now. I 85 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: know he's got to start tonight. We'll see how that goes. 86 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: But is it still Trout or the field for you? 87 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: And is there somebody in the field that you think 88 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: right now is set up as a good wager, is 89 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: it Otani because he's so unique at seven to one. 90 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 3: So I was really excited when you text me to 91 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 3: tell me the content of this discussion, because when you 92 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 3: make futures, especially on divisional winners, and we're going to 93 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 3: talk about that. I have a particular system that I've used. 94 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 3: It seems to work as far as individual awards. Yes 95 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 3: you have your chalk guys, and yes you can throw 96 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 3: down on them at the beginning of the season, a 97 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 3: quarterway through the season, halfway through the season, so on 98 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 3: and so forth, barring injury. But this is such a 99 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 3: thickle category you mentioned Otani. No one really had a 100 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 3: grasp on what this was going to look like, and 101 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 3: we still don't because the pitching is still in question, 102 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 3: and that definitely lends itself to this conversation. I got like, 103 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 3: Vlade Guerrero is a guy that I think people would 104 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 3: be looking at before a first pitch was even thrown, 105 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 3: and you're. 106 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 4: Continue to look at him. 107 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 3: Is there anyone else that's creeping up that you can say, hmm, 108 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 3: maybe maybe be careful with the maybies you're giving your money. 109 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 3: Snake shock in these MVP and cy Young type of 110 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 3: plays until someone really emerges that you didn't see coming. 111 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 3: Because again, if you're watching shows like this, chances are 112 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 3: you know who these players are. The guy waiting for 113 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 3: the bus might not, and that's whose money we're taking. 114 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 2: Mm hmm, yeah, it's a look to me. 115 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: When Otani was it I think twenty to one or 116 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: fifteen to one in most places before the year, that 117 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: was the time to take a shot on it. 118 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:23,559 Speaker 4: For sure. 119 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 1: You know you lay one hundred on that. That's a 120 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: lovely return because he has something that nobody else can offer, 121 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: which is that two way player thing. It's just a 122 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: matter of whether or not he can be good enough 123 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: at both to really make that sort of headway. And 124 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 1: it's so ironic that the favorite is the guy on 125 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 1: his own team, which we often say, oh, it's so 126 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: hard to separate when you have two guys on the 127 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: same team. But right now, Jared Walsh might be the 128 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: best angel swing in a bat currently, So who knows 129 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: what's going on. Let's go to the National League side. 130 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: A little bit of a wrinkle here lately because de Gram, 131 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: who you and I have been talking about as a 132 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: possible MVP candidate. He goes to the IL, but Ron 133 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: Lacuney is still the favorite plus two seventy five. De 134 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: Grom still can census around eight hundred. Some places might 135 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 1: even take that down depending on the injury. Right now 136 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: and wait and see what goes on. Tatis is at 137 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: plus eight to fifty and then my boy Juan Soto 138 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 1: has floated all the way at ten to one. 139 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 2: So here's my question. 140 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: We know this is a narrative award, a media award. 141 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: Matt Striker, do you think that this whole to Fernando 142 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: Tatis playing through this shoulder injury, this very intense injury. 143 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 1: If the Padres do continue to play well and the 144 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: Dodgers continue to play under expectations, and let's say something 145 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: magical happens where the Padres are right there even last 146 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: week or two of the season with them, is Tatus 147 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: at plus eight fifty. The way to get in right 148 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: now on that, because that is a narrative that certainly plays. 149 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 4: It does, but again, please use logic and not emotion. 150 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 4: I grew up with four sisters. 151 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 2: Yes, how did you ever get out? Where was any 152 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 2: of the logic? 153 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 4: So it's all aside. 154 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 3: Actually, there are times where where rule with your heart 155 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 3: is the right thing to do, but in this regard 156 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 3: it's not. 157 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 4: Let's not get philosophical. I think you make up a 158 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 4: great point here, though. 159 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 3: If it continues to be the way it is and 160 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 3: the padres are there at the end of the conversation, 161 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 3: in a perfect world both soda and akunya are at 162 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 3: least somewhere on a portion of someone's tongue in this conversation, 163 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 3: then yes, I can certainly see people saying, wow, I 164 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 3: got in on tatoos at that number right in the 165 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 3: middle of May. I'm the smartest person in the world. 166 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 3: The thing about the nl MVP race is that there 167 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 3: was always going to be three or four places where 168 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 3: you could put a chip. 169 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 4: Now you're trying to narrow it down. 170 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 3: There's still three, maybe four places you can put a chip. 171 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 4: Let's have this conversation again. 172 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 3: Hopefully I'll come back on maybe June first, because right 173 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 3: now I'm walking past this table and I want to 174 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 3: put a chip down. I just don't know where to 175 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 3: put that chip. So I've learned in my years on 176 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 3: this planet. I put that chip back in my pocket. 177 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 3: I wait, let these players show me something I can't 178 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 3: show them anything. 179 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if Acunya has done that much to 180 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: separate himself that much from the herd, which is kind 181 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: of interesting to me. That's actually the chalk is the 182 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: one I like the least amount here, Whereas that's why 183 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: I kind of go towards Tatis, because you know, the 184 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: first week back, everybody was questioning, oh, my goodness, is 185 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: gonna work? And then he's been hitting home runs. He 186 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: looks like tattis maybe two hands on the bat is. 187 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 2: Actually a good thing. Who would have thought that? 188 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: And you know what a Juan Soto? Yeah, and fundamentally 189 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: it is. And then there's one soda at the ten 190 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: to one. Who I mean right there, he was at 191 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: the beginning of the season, right neck and neck with 192 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: all these guys. 193 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 2: So this is an interesting time and Matt's kind of 194 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 2: right here. 195 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: National League really hasn't shown itself enough yet where there 196 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: hasn't been even a clear separator, and the guy that 197 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: they got at the top, I don't know how much 198 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: of a separator he is. Speaking of tight races too, 199 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: you've got al Cy Young's pretty tight right now. Plus 200 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: one fifty for Garrett Cole, plus three twenty five for 201 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: Shane Bieber, and then plus four fifty for Tyler Glass, 202 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: now with a ten to one Carlos Rodon, who's got 203 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: a better er than anybody, and may and d be 204 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: the leader for comeback player of the Year. But in 205 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: your opinion, does he have a shot here at cy Young? 206 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: I mean, statistically speaking, he's right there with these guys, 207 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: if not better in some categories. But Bieber, Cole, Glass 208 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: and I will certainly get a lot more pub I 209 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: feel like. 210 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 3: One thousand percent. Now your feelings are correct. It goes back. 211 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 3: Sometimes ruling with emotion is a good thing. So but again, 212 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 3: look at the calendar man middle of May. If Rodn 213 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 3: gives me sixteen and eight and an era under four 214 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 3: and the no hitter and no one else is really 215 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 3: lights out, Oh my goodness, gracious, Like for some reason, 216 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 3: if Cole or Bieber falter in their last six starts 217 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 3: I'm making it up, then maybe, But do you see 218 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 3: how far fetched even the it is, the illogical pontification 219 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 3: is but interesting on numbers. And this is what I've learned, 220 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 3: especially now that betting is becoming more and more public, 221 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 3: and more and more people are putting their eyes and 222 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 3: their talents on it. Look at Cole's number and look 223 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 3: at Bieber's number. It's pretty much double, isn't it. You 224 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 3: mentioned it's. 225 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 2: Fifty plus three twenty five. It varies in some spots. 226 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 4: But you're right. So think of what the book is saying. 227 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 3: Now, is that so much on the picture or is 228 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 3: it about the win equity and the team that they're on. 229 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 3: And if that's the case, was Cleveland is Cleveland? Who 230 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 3: you thought they were in April or March? You have 231 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 3: to ask yourself that question. The Yankees are exactly where 232 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 3: they're supposed to be in May, so I get why 233 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 3: that numbers there. 234 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 4: But the Bieber thing, it feels too good. 235 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 2: It feels too good. 236 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 4: I don't know. 237 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 2: I didn't realize that was a problem. I always thought, 238 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 2: we want to think. 239 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: So it's a problem, my friend, Oh it's a problem. Okay, 240 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: there's always something. It's always a catch every single time, 241 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: all right. So when we're looking at the AlSi young 242 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: and again, this is why you go to betting pros, 243 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: because if you like Bieber, there's some spots, like, for instance, 244 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: on Fandle, you can get them at plus three eighty. 245 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 2: Right now, that's that's great, And. 246 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: That's why Betting Pros is so good because you get 247 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: that opportunity to say, well, I kind of like this, 248 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: where can I find the best odds? And again I 249 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: encourage everybody to go to bettingpros dot com to do that, 250 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: because that's how you kind of find the best book 251 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: for the best bet that you want to put out there. 252 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: Let's move and switch gears here to the Nash for 253 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: a second, if we may. And obviously the National League 254 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: de Grom has been so dominant, but now we have 255 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: a little bit of a question that's creeped in here 256 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: with this injury. Now Mri was clean, they say they're 257 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: gonna give him a real Iyel stint instead of trying 258 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: to short term it. We'll see if that rectifies the problem. 259 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: Minus won thirty six is the consensus betting Pro's number 260 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: for him. Corbyn Burns is at five to one. He 261 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: is just now coming back from his COVID stint, and 262 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: then you got basically Trevor Bauer thirteen to one and 263 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: Aaron Nola thirteen to one. Now, Aaron Nola has pitched 264 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: incredibly well this year, and I feel like nobody's really 265 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: talking about it. It's kind of why the Phillies have 266 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: hung around where they have in the standings, and Corbyn burns. 267 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 1: We all know how good he's been, so right now 268 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: is it a matter of wait and see on this 269 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 1: de gram health or do you want to take action 270 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: now and maybe go with somebody not name Jacob de 271 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 1: Gram before possibly this number starts to shrink if de 272 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: Gram misses any significant time or struggles on his return. 273 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 3: So this is what the sharks or the smart people 274 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 3: in the betting world are talking about. I think it 275 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 3: was just yesterday Keith, myself and Colin Wilson were talking 276 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 3: about it on the Better's Eye and yes, now is 277 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 3: the time to see where you can get some value. 278 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 3: I believe was Colin brought up look at Brandon Woodriff, 279 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 3: maybe for a hot session. See if everything's starting to 280 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 3: melt away. Who remains standing? I posited Jack Flaherty. His 281 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:22,719 Speaker 3: whip is just. 282 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 4: To tick over one. I think like one point two. 283 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:26,839 Speaker 4: Maybe that's the last start. 284 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 3: But these are some guys that when everyone else falls away, 285 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 3: should de Gram be injured and miss. 286 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 4: Some time, and I don't want to say it's like, 287 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 4: don't say no hitter. 288 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 3: These are the names you gotta start to look at 289 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 3: and they're gonna have some nice plus numbers right next 290 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 3: to their names. 291 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: So now's the time to start shopping. I like it shopping, 292 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: But you put stuff in the cart. Maybe you're not 293 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: the check out yet? 294 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 2: Is that what you mean? 295 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 4: Sure? How many times have you done that? I mean, listen, 296 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 4: in college, I used to go shopping under the influence. 297 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 4: I don't you get that? 298 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,559 Speaker 3: And you realize how much mine do I have? Do 299 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 3: I need seven box of the fudge covered Oreos? Yes, 300 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 3: let's put back the milk and break you know what 301 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 3: I mean? 302 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: You choose important choices. Actually, I'm going food shopping right 303 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,599 Speaker 1: after this show is oil yea. I will pick you 304 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,839 Speaker 1: up a box for sure. All right, let's switch gears 305 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: here and talk about some teams. Let's do a little 306 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: al East. The Yankees still the favorites at minus one twelve, 307 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: the Red Sox plus three point fifty, wh've had a 308 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: really good start that I think surprised a lot of people. 309 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 4: And then you've got the. 310 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: Blue Jays of four to twenty five and the Rays 311 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: who are in the World Series last year plus five hundred. 312 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 2: Now, the thing with. 313 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 1: The Rays is you're gonna see Louis Patino start to 314 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: make some more starts here. He's starting actually today, and 315 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 1: we'll see how he continues to ramp up. If he 316 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: becomes a guy in that rotation consistently, they can add 317 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: a Wander Franco. The Blue Jays right now still waiting 318 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: for their big time investment, George Springer to pay dividends. 319 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 1: So what do you make of the Al East here? 320 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: Because the Yankees have gotten back on track, but their 321 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: pitching is still suspect. I don't think any of these 322 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: teams has the depth of rotation right now that you 323 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: really feel good about. So what is the difference maker 324 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 1: in this division for you? If you're trying to make 325 00:13:58,720 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: a wager. 326 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 4: So here's full transparency. 327 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 3: This is how I bet division winners, and this is 328 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 3: how I've done it ever since I really learned how 329 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:06,839 Speaker 3: to do this. 330 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 4: So at the start of the season, let's just call 331 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:09,959 Speaker 4: a dollar a chip. 332 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 3: Just for easy, I put a chip down on each 333 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 3: team I think within a division has a chance, and 334 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 3: then I revisit it four times a year. So at 335 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 3: forty games, I then make another play. But during the 336 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 3: time every ten games, I go back and I look 337 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 3: at the team. So as of for instance, the Yankees. 338 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 3: I had a chip down on them on April first. 339 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 3: After ten games, I went back and look, I put 340 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 3: an X next to them because they weren't performing the 341 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 3: way I wanted them to going After another ten games, 342 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 3: maybe they are. 343 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 4: You put a check next to them. Come forty games. 344 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 3: The team that I originally had intended upon has as 345 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 3: many checks upon it as it should. I double down 346 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 3: on that team, and that's a good way to look 347 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 3: at it. So with the Yankees, they weren't doing it 348 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 3: in April, but I knew that here's may check check check. 349 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 3: Continue to double down on them as far as depth 350 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 3: and things like that, they'll find a way. They're the 351 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 3: The Blue Jays are the team I had so many 352 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 3: x's next to them. I was disheartened. Here come those 353 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 3: check marks. Nate Pearson did not have a good start. 354 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 3: That troubles and worries me. But on the other side, 355 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 3: a lot of these guys are stead Look at Marcus 356 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 3: Simi and he has an amazing on base streak that 357 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 3: no one is talking about. La Guerrero is coming alive, 358 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 3: Boba Sheet's doing what he should do, and Kevin Bigio's 359 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 3: bad hasn't even woken up. 360 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 4: Yet I'm sure it will. 361 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 3: So I'm looking at these odds and seeing there's ways 362 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 3: I can make some money here. The cream will always 363 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 3: rise to the top show you know that. 364 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know what. 365 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: I like what you're saying too, of making small incremental 366 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: investments over time, because that does kind of allow you 367 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: to have exposure. But at the same time, like you're saying, 368 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: if you really like one thing it's going well, you 369 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: continue to double up on it. And I think that 370 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: is a great way over the long period of time. 371 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: Let's see how that affects the central and how you 372 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: want to do this one, because this one chuck me. 373 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: I was White Sox from the beginning of the year 374 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: and they were not the favorites, and I said, this 375 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: is insane. The White Sox should be the favorites. They've 376 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: lost Louise Robert, they have lost Elia Menez, yet they 377 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: still continue to win games and they are still the 378 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: consensus favorite minus two hundred. Cleveland's at plus three fifty, 379 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: Cleveland has a hard time I feel like generating runs 380 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: outside of home runs. Ramirez and Franmil are hitting outside 381 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: of that, it's kind of tough for them. If they're 382 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: not hitting Dingers and then the Twins who you know, 383 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: Kent tamai Ada struggle. 384 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 2: You know, kier Lof came. 385 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: Up for a hot minute and got hot and then 386 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: he went on the il. The Twins number has dropped 387 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: all the way to plus eight hundred. Now that is 388 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: very tempting because the Twins historically are always around. But 389 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: I'm still kind of just sticking with the White Sox. 390 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: I think the time to bet the White Sox has passed. Personally, 391 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: I think it was before the season. What do you 392 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: think right now? Is there some case you want to 393 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: make for Cleveland or Minnesota or is it just already 394 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: a White Sox division to lose? 395 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 4: How do you know? I'm not all in on the Tigers? 396 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 4: How do you know? 397 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: I don't think I've been hitting ahead with a lot 398 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: of chairs. That's the only thing I know that is 399 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: that is that is what. 400 00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 3: I got, because I'm gonna lose my thought because of that, 401 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 3: as well as all those happened in college. Okay, Chicago, 402 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 3: you talked about losing a player and so on and 403 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 3: so forth. Yeah, but gaining Michael Kopek and Dylan Seese 404 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 3: have been wonderful. The public is just learning about them again, 405 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 3: people like you and I we knew about them. So yes, 406 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 3: that money remains what I call true. The true event 407 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 3: is there. The team you're seeing that is the team. Okay, Cleveland, 408 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 3: Find me anyone that could tell you before our first 409 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 3: pitch was thrown to start the season that this is 410 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 3: going to be a team that was going to come 411 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 3: back and have an astronomical plus run differential in the 412 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 3: final six innings of every game. These they have been 413 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 3: the comeback kids along with the Red Sox. All right, 414 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 3: the bullpen had problems and then Class A stepped up 415 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 3: and now everyone is starting to step in line here. Yes, 416 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 3: I hear you as far as the offense goes, but 417 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 3: nobody saw this team. And if Bieber can continue to 418 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 3: do what he does, and Soavali please sack something that 419 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 3: Tristan McKenzie's a bright spot, they could be there. 420 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 4: Man, the Al Central is fickle. Look at the Royals. 421 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 3: Did you think they were gonna do what they've done 422 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 3: in the first half of the season. I know they're 423 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 3: riding an eight game losing streak right now, but still 424 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 3: there's no way you can handicap this division like that. 425 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 3: And that's the beauty of baseball his name, right, that 426 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 3: thing I think you did. 427 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 2: It's it's class A. You said it in a very 428 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 2: class A way. That's all they need. 429 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: But the Cleveland Indians have the pitching, as you're pointing out, too, 430 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: and over time that's what wins out, whereas Minnesota's back 431 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 1: of that rotation can be spotty at times. In ma 432 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 1: Ada hasn't been the same guy who was last year. 433 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: Well hopefully last start. Is that back on track and 434 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: things are gonna go better for him. Let's move to 435 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: the west for a second and talk about the Athletics, 436 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 1: who are even. 437 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 2: Right now in betting pros. 438 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: So that's interesting because they went on that incredible tear. 439 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: And then, of course, like everything in baseball, it's a 440 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: game of streaks. 441 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 2: You hat the highs and the lows. 442 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: Right, the Astros are plus one ten and the Angels 443 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 1: that are at plus six point fifty as the betting 444 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: pros consensus number. Now I ask you this match striker 445 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 1: six point fifty right now. You know the Angels did 446 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 1: kind of jettison pool holes and you know Dylan Bundy 447 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 1: hasn't been great, but Walsh has been terrific. I know 448 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,439 Speaker 1: Rend has the knee issue, but Otani and Trout, You know, 449 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: it's funny. It's like these two giant stars, along with Walsh, 450 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 1: have really kind of carried this team. Is this an 451 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 1: intriguing number to you at six point fifty? Because the 452 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,479 Speaker 1: Astros have been a lot of up and down. They 453 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: can't seem to get everything right at the right time. 454 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 1: They get this going, and then that falls apart starting 455 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 1: catching good, the offense goes away. You know, any guys 456 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: on COVID lists and all this stuff's going back. 457 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 2: And forth with them. Are the Angels the sneaky wager 458 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 2: in this division? Right now? At six point fifty? 459 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 4: This is gonna sound like a terrible answer. It's a 460 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:31,880 Speaker 4: great way to start an answer. 461 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 3: But putting the Angels in a vacuum, You've got to 462 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 3: come back to me after the six game stretch that 463 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 3: they are on right now. So it's encouraging to see 464 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 3: what they did against the Dodgers. Now they go on 465 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 3: a six game stretch against teams that are either first 466 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 3: or second in their respective divisions. I believe a Boston 467 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 3: All Glenn Cleve. But watch these games, folks, if you're 468 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 3: on the East coast. So I'm in New York, Queens 469 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 3: New York. So some of these games you can really 470 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 3: see a lot about a team. Look at their bullpens, 471 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 3: look at how they play matchups. Then come back if 472 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 3: this number is still there after the six game stretch, 473 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 3: which is not going to be, but if you can 474 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 3: find it in a nice, favorable, desirable place with. 475 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 4: Some pitching, I'm not doing it, but I could see 476 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 4: how a lot of people are gonna get on this team. 477 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,360 Speaker 1: I think it might be if you like him at all, 478 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: this is the time because before after the stretch, if 479 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: things go well for them in the next let's say 480 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: six to ten games, that number is probably gonna get 481 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: cut in half. I think there's a real good chance 482 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: that's going to happen. And here's the thing, you know, 483 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: we mentioned all these American League teams. The Yankees, of 484 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: all these teams, is actually in the best position because 485 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: not only can they afford to pay anybody they want 486 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: because they're the Yankees, but they can also they have 487 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 1: enough depth in that organization to make a move for somebody. 488 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 1: And that's where I kind of worry about teams like 489 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: the Angels. I don't know if Joe Adele plus plus 490 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 1: is enough to get a deal done. 491 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 2: Maybe it is. 492 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: There's a couple guys in that system I'm looking at, 493 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: you know, the Indian system. They're not gonna deal some 494 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: of these young guys because they're a smaller market team. 495 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 1: So the Yankees are kind of in the driver's seat. 496 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: And obviously they're still the favorite for the American League. 497 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: And I can understand why, because again, you control their 498 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 1: own destiny if you're the Yankees, because you have the 499 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: best of both worlds, and it's not a sixty game 500 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: season anymore. Now from the National League standpoint, we're in 501 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: the East here with the Mets are still favorites at. 502 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 2: Plus one fifteen. I don't know how this is true, 503 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 2: but it is. 504 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: Then you got the plus one eighty with the Braves 505 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 1: and the plus four hundred with the Phillies. 506 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 2: The Nats have clearly struggled here. 507 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,679 Speaker 1: They haven't been able to get on track in Strasbourg 508 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 1: being hurt and Corbyn being bad. I just think the 509 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: Nats have now gone by the wayside. We know it 510 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: was boom er bust for the Nats. So now there 511 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 1: are three as great as the Marlins pitching is, we're realistic. 512 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 1: Now there are three Phillies, Braves, Mets. The four to 513 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: one Phillies are an interesting wager here because Wheelers pitch 514 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 1: pretty well. Nolah's been lights out. But I don't understand 515 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 1: how the Braves are not the favorite here. Plus one eighty, 516 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: I think this is a great simple investment. You can 517 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: put a large number on that. Do you feel confident 518 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: in the Atlanta Braves at what you've seen because guys 519 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,679 Speaker 1: like Yonoah and Anderson have stepped up when guys like 520 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: Freed and Morton have struggled. 521 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 4: Braves in the team. I've been saying it since April. 522 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 4: They're just built for it. 523 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,360 Speaker 3: And again in April as a better as a gambler. 524 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 3: You know, the dogs barked, they ate. It's April, like 525 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 3: it's the first time you're doing this. Totally cool, come 526 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,360 Speaker 3: along and you know, be our friend because we love that. 527 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 3: But there are people that have been doing this for 528 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 3: all that understand it's April. Joe, you and I talked 529 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 3: about Everyone was all about Francisco and or Francisco and Door. 530 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 4: It's April. He's historically bad in April. The Yankees are 531 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 4: an older team. It's April. Give it. It's like an 532 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 4: older car. Give it a chance. To warm up. 533 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 3: The Braves are my team here and I've always said that, 534 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 3: you know, has been a great, great revelation for them, 535 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 3: both with the bat and with the arm. And yeah, 536 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 3: to your point, like like Morton hasn't been doing what 537 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 3: they thought he would be able to do, at least 538 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 3: in the last two starts. Give this whole team time. 539 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 3: They're going to be there, and don't count out Washington 540 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 3: just yet. 541 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,199 Speaker 1: Man, well, I gotta eat some crow here in the 542 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: Central because you know me, I was very pro Milwaukee 543 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: going into the year. But now that Christianelwich came back 544 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: for one day and went back on. 545 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 2: The il, I'm out. It's over. I'm out. This lineup 546 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 2: is not enough. 547 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: They didn't do enough outside And the problem is now, 548 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 1: if you don't have Yellich and you're not playing good 549 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 1: baseball and you're not scoring runs, it doesn't matter how 550 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 1: good the pitching is, because what happens is now you're 551 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: at a deficit because you can't justify moving more young 552 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: pieces to bring you more pieces. 553 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 2: And it's almost like chicken in the egg. 554 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: It's like, if you don't have Yelick playing well and 555 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 1: you're not things are going well, how does the organization 556 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: justify going out there making a trade for a trade 557 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 1: man seat you're bringing in somebody like that. So right now, 558 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: the Cardinals are at plus one ten, the Brewers minus 559 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: one twenty, the Reds are at eight to one, and 560 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 1: I know it's the Reds, and I know they've got 561 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 1: a whole host of problems, but they've also got an 562 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 1: incredible young pipeline of pitching. Molly's been great, Sonny Gray's 563 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: been really good, Wade Miley just threw a freaking no hitter, 564 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 1: and Luis Castillo we all know eventually is going to 565 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: write the ship. At least I feel pretty confident in that. 566 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: Then you've got an offense here where Suarez hasn't hit 567 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,679 Speaker 1: it all, Cassianos has been good, Mustakus. I mean, this 568 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: is a really good team. I know it's a long shot. 569 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: It feels like the Cardinals division to lose at plus 570 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: one ten, and I think this is gonna be a 571 00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: minus number by the time we hit June. 572 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 2: Like the Cardinals, I think this is your last shot. 573 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 2: Do you agree. 574 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 3: Here's the thing about divisional winners. You have to trust 575 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 3: your baseball knowledge. And again, if you're just out there 576 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,919 Speaker 3: listening to there's A thousand and one shows like this, 577 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 3: Let's just be honest. 578 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 2: As what you and I are doing. 579 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 4: But here's the thing. Exactly who's telling you? Where have 580 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 4: they been? One have they done? So you have to 581 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 4: look when things are backed up by math. 582 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 3: You can't beat that, Okay, I'm sorry you can't. 583 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 4: The Cardinals are built for this division. Everyone knows it. 584 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 3: So yes, at some point that number is going to 585 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 3: get even and it might even drop into the minus. 586 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 4: So there you go. 587 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 2: Sorry, love and math always win. There you go. That's 588 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 2: what it is, all right. 589 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: Let's let's hit the West two horse race. Here, the 590 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: Dodgers met minus four hundred. Now that number has. 591 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 2: Been adjusted a little bit after this bad stretch for 592 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 2: the Dodgers. 593 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 4: It's the weird bit. 594 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 1: And then you got the Padres of plus two point 595 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 1: fifty here. Now, the Padres are a fascinating team because 596 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 1: Snell's pitched poorly, but Joe Musgrove has kind of given 597 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: you what you thought Snell was going to. I don't 598 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: know what the heck's gonna happen with Lamette and Paddock. 599 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: I hope that Paddick comes back healthy, is good. I'm 600 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,400 Speaker 1: terrified Lamette's of Tommy John waiting to happen. The good 601 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: news is they've got some other guys like Weathers, and 602 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: they've got some other guys like Mackenzie Gore who might. 603 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 4: Be able to step up. 604 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 1: But the Padres are all in the question is can 605 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,679 Speaker 1: they catch the Dodgers. I know Bellinger is on his 606 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: way back. Is this just to stay away here in 607 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: this division? Or do you like the Padres? Chances of 608 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 1: catching the Dodgers. 609 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,919 Speaker 4: Depends on what kind of better you are. Are you 610 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 4: conservative then yeah? Sure? Ooh, I don't know what likes? 611 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 3: Are you aggressing off looking in on everybody? Are you 612 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 3: the contrarian? The San Francisco Giants have disrupted everything in 613 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 3: that division. The San Francisco Giants have disrupted everything for 614 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 3: the last forty five days in baseball. 615 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 4: Just go look at their. 616 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 3: Numbers and tell me that anyone thought they were going 617 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,679 Speaker 3: to do that. I'm still waiting for the market correction. 618 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 3: I personally, I think it's coming right. I mean, it's 619 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:52,959 Speaker 3: just baseball again. Guys are always gonna do with the back 620 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 3: of their baseball car tells you they're gonna do at 621 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:56,719 Speaker 3: least nine and a half times out of ten. But 622 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 3: the Giants have disrupted everything here now, so look for 623 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,400 Speaker 3: them to pull and tug on those Padre and Dodger numbers. 624 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 3: And if you can catch them where they're being pulled on, 625 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 3: and it puts you in a good spot. Like Joe 626 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 3: was talking about, there's ways to get the best line. 627 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 3: Take advantage of it. Man, Please, being ignorant during the 628 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 3: time of information is a choice. 629 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 2: I love that. 630 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,360 Speaker 1: That is good stuff right there. And you're right man, 631 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 1: that giant's pitching. Where'd that come from? Alex Wood, Kevin Gossman. 632 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's crazy. And every night somebody 633 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: goes out there and they're just, you know, spinning good 634 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: baseball games despite all the injuries they've had at different times. 635 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 2: It's crazy. 636 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:33,679 Speaker 4: All right. 637 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the big one here. Right now, the 638 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: consensus favorite for the World Series is still the reigning, defending, 639 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: undisputed Los Angeles Dodgers at plus three twenty five. The 640 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: Yankees are at seven to one, which I think is 641 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 1: a fascinating number. That's a pretty big number right now. 642 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 1: Consensus wise, it's still early. The Padres at plus eight 643 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: to fifty, who have the pitching in a short series 644 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: and they could get very hot. The Mets are at 645 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,439 Speaker 1: plus nine, and then before we get to the long shots, 646 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: the other plus US nine is the White Sox. So 647 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 1: these are kind of the favorites under ten to one. 648 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: Where would you put a chip and how would you 649 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: do it? 650 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 2: At this point? 651 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: Have you seen enough out of any team to feel 652 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: like I'm confident this team is going to be there 653 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,880 Speaker 1: through the regular season and is built for the postseason. 654 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:18,439 Speaker 2: Who stands out to you? 655 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 3: So when I did my World Series futures, I put 656 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 3: two chips, one on an AL team, one on ANL team. 657 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,919 Speaker 3: I didn't have any secondary teams. And it remains the 658 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 3: same to this day, and I'm actually getting ready to 659 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 3: double back on it. Yankees, Atlanta Braves, Okay, built to 660 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 3: do it. They've been there, they understand it. When everything 661 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 3: else falls away, I think that's going to be the 662 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 3: World Series. 663 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: Well if you do like that, because right now, the 664 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: consensus number on the Atlanta Braves. Who was the first 665 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: one in the quote long shots fifteen to one. Now, 666 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 1: the Braves historically they've been that great regular season team, 667 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: but they fail all the time in the short series. 668 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 1: What is about this team that you think is different 669 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: this year? 670 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 4: You and I have talked about this a lot. 671 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,959 Speaker 3: The games completely changed now it's about having three stud 672 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 3: starters and then a bullpen and playing matchups. Atlanta had 673 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 3: that at least on paper in April, and I do 674 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 3: believe they still have it and never rule out that 675 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 3: late season acquisition. With that said, when it comes down 676 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 3: just the minutia to the micro, just think the organization 677 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 3: and the team is better suit than anyone else. And yes, 678 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 3: I understand the Dodgers are the chalk, but I'm in 679 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,200 Speaker 3: this to make money. 680 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 2: Absolutely, baby, that's what we're in. 681 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: And speaking of making money, where can everybody check out 682 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: The Batter's Eye?
