Speaker 1: Use that promo code leading Off. When you do, it's
Speaker 1: me Joey P. Joe's a p. Look who's back. I
Speaker 1: would say fresh from vacation, But when you have kids,
Speaker 1: that's a trip. Vacations are for sitting on the beach
Speaker 1: and people bringing you cocktails, So well, you're gonna need
Speaker 1: a vacation after your trip. But hopefully all the kids
Speaker 1: got to see some Harry Potter stuff, have some butter beer,
Speaker 1: and maybe a little Mario Brothers too. Yes, we went
Speaker 1: to the I love it.
Speaker 2: I love how you say, Mario. I'm like Mario, Mario,
Speaker 2: Mario Brothers, Mario.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we will audio and nobody says that in Brooklyn.
Speaker 1: I can't.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm completely not rested. You can tell by the
Speaker 2: chaos at the start of this morning. Everything is crazy.
Speaker 2: I'm not rested whatsoever. But we did do all the things.
Speaker 2: We had some great beach time. We went to Lego Land,
Speaker 2: and we went to Universal. But Mario World Mario Worlds
Speaker 2: was weird because it's like this little insulated box and
Speaker 2: it was hot. So we were like an oven. There
Speaker 2: were four million people and it's like and then we're
Speaker 2: all cooking and the son and it was just it
Speaker 2: was like an oven. It was crazy, Joe. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I could not be more not rested. I am glad
Speaker 2: to be back here with everybody because I do feel
Speaker 2: like I have a little bit more control over this
Speaker 2: chaos in the baseball world with all our peanuts and
Speaker 2: cracker jacks and of course my favorite bald face right there,
Speaker 2: Joe Piezopia. But yeah, I might be a little bit
Speaker 2: wacky this week, trying to recover from the vacation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but of all the days to come back, you
Speaker 1: came back on the day we're getting Christian and Carnossio's
Speaker 1: trans so we got us there. The Reds prospects getting
Speaker 1: called up. I'm glad you didn't miss this. That would
Speaker 1: have been horrendous. There were a couple of Pirates prospects
Speaker 1: called back. I just mean Pirates prospects called up today too.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to those. But the A's guys on Friday,
Speaker 1: when Bob was here. I want to get your take
Speaker 1: on those guys, since you're the prospect guru and I
Speaker 1: want to remind everybody to just yet again. Welsh and
Speaker 1: I did a little MLB draft audio only show. Go
Speaker 1: check that out on our podcast feed wherever you get
Speaker 1: your podcast again Fantasy Brose MLB. Let's talk about Christian
Speaker 1: and Carnossillon Stram coming up from Triple A. He's gonna
Speaker 1: make his debut today, twenty three year old in Triple A.
Speaker 1: This year, the guy was unbelievable. The slash was three
Speaker 1: thirty one, four h five OBP six thirty seven. That,
Speaker 1: my friends, is elite. He had twenty homer, sixty two RBI,
Speaker 1: two steals, and I was only in sixty seven games.
Speaker 1: Not too shabby. He plays first base primarily. He might
Speaker 1: see some time in the outfield because he's been playing
Speaker 1: there a little bit recently. So do you have a
Speaker 1: feeling that's where you're gonna see Encarnossillon Strand in this
Speaker 1: mixes in the outfield?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I saw a lot of people like in the celebration
Speaker 2: of him coming up, being like, you know, the kind
Speaker 2: of the pessimist is like, well, what they're gonna do?
Speaker 3: I don't even say where the playing time is, How's
Speaker 3: he gonna play?
Speaker 2: And it's like, well they're gonna figure it out. There's
Speaker 2: a reason they brought him up. I kind of also
Speaker 2: tend to think this might be the prelude to like
Speaker 2: a move or two, moving a couple guys off. You know,
Speaker 2: not that they're looking to be sellers or anything like that,
Speaker 2: but you know, maybe they're gonna.
Speaker 3: You get a couple of the outside pieces that.
Speaker 1: Could get out out.
Speaker 2: But he can, like you said, he could play third,
Speaker 2: that's where he came up.
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's gonna play there.
Speaker 2: I think Spencer Steer in my mind, is going to
Speaker 2: take over and man that third base spot. I think
Speaker 2: Nixon Zel could be trade block, could maybe even be
Speaker 2: coming off here a little bit soon. And I think
Speaker 2: Strand plays first. I think he plays d H and
Speaker 2: I think he can play that corner outfield.
Speaker 1: Spot options there at the very least. I know everyone's
Speaker 1: very excited. We're also getting Grayson Rodriguez returning, so that's
Speaker 1: very exciting as well. Today. That guy has been absolutely
Speaker 1: spectacular since he's been spent sent down recently. And we
Speaker 1: kind of mentioned this. I feel like last time we
Speaker 1: were talking about the Orioles and we talked about, you know,
Speaker 1: how good that they've been and some of the unherlded pitching.
Speaker 1: It also has to go with Adlei Rutchman too. By
Speaker 1: the way, nobody has more strikes called outside the strike
Speaker 1: zone this year than Adlie Rutchman. He's at over fifty
Speaker 1: right now, which is a big help to a pitching
Speaker 1: staff that doesn't have a lot of quote unquot star
Speaker 1: power around it. So if Grayson Rodriguez can transfer what
Speaker 1: he's been doing in TRIPLEA and some of these big
Speaker 1: strikeouts starts he's had and bring that up to the
Speaker 1: big leagues, if he's somehow floating around in your league,
Speaker 1: I don't know how that's possible, But if he is
Speaker 1: in the shallower league and somebody just missed this, go
Speaker 1: get this guy immediately and add him. But Rodriguez is almost,
Speaker 1: i would say, effectively like that trade deadline deal for
Speaker 1: the Orioles. Well, so where it feels like there's an
Speaker 1: opportunity for them to add this guy and if he
Speaker 1: pitches up to his ability, you could have another front
Speaker 1: line starter here. And the Orioles are not going away.
Speaker 1: I think they made that very clear heading into the
Speaker 1: All Star break and looking at the rest of these
Speaker 1: teams right now, the Yankees are scuffling. The Orioles are
Speaker 1: going to hang around.
Speaker 2: I completely agree with that, and Grayson's going to be interesting.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, you say, like Grayson coming up
Speaker 2: and Adley as good to the catcher as he's been.
Speaker 2: You know, they had this early on in the year,
Speaker 2: they had this thing going for them and it didn't
Speaker 2: work out. But Grayson has made some changes in the
Speaker 2: minors so far, and the biggest is the cutter.
Speaker 3: It's gone.
Speaker 2: I was just looking at his last start. He did
Speaker 2: only go three innings, but he's completely scrapped the cutter.
Speaker 2: The cutter was thrown like two times, and that was
Speaker 2: kind of a primary pitch. It's been fastball and I
Speaker 2: think change up. I think it was like heavy heavy,
Speaker 2: those both with big whiff numbers, of course, and the
Speaker 2: command is gonna be key. And like you said, the
Speaker 2: thing that bodes really well is if they were able
Speaker 2: to figure out optimize, similar to like what we saw
Speaker 2: with the razor earlier in the year with Taj and
Speaker 2: then he came back with the cutter. But they're gonna
Speaker 2: get rid of the cutter, and the cutter was a
Speaker 2: bigger problem for him throwing strikes. You got a guy
Speaker 2: like Adley who can create strikes for you, and creating
Speaker 2: strikes for a player with some command issues is huge.
Speaker 2: So I'm very excited about Grayson. I've been on the
Speaker 2: Hey pick up Grayson bandwagon, but I don't like the
Speaker 2: start today. Someone in the chat asked, what about today.
Speaker 3: I don't like it today.
Speaker 1: I like it today. I'm in and I'm in on DFS.
Speaker 1: You know why, because I think good baseball people like
Speaker 1: Welsh are out. So I am in on it today
Speaker 1: and we can have that discussion later in the show,
Speaker 1: which is fun. Let's talk about Alex Bregman. Mister mid
Speaker 1: had himself a good game, uh to run Homer in
Speaker 1: the ninth Astros pick up a big victory over Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Angels. As the Angels continue to get pushed down
Speaker 1: the blister issues with Otani. I mean, I don't want
Speaker 1: to be tinfoil hat man here, but you know it
Speaker 1: always going he gonna blister. We gotta be real careful
Speaker 1: with him. Feels like a trade's coming to me. Folks.
Speaker 1: Gotta put him in bubble wrap. Let's just let him
Speaker 1: hit a little bit, throw a little bit here and there.
Speaker 1: Just just just take care of mister Otani, that's what
Speaker 1: you're trying to do right now. And by the way,
Speaker 1: you did his thirty fourth home run, do I really what.
Speaker 3: Do you really think it's coming down?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, he's gone.
Speaker 2: He gone, baby, I said, not so, I'm gonna eat
Speaker 2: those words.
Speaker 1: I think well, I said, one hundred sent he was
Speaker 1: and then the Angels went on that run and I
Speaker 1: started to really get upset, but Mike Trout Independence Day
Speaker 1: broke me free. Now I'm free once again to look
Speaker 1: at Shoaotani trades. Uh after Otani's thirty fourth home run,
Speaker 1: which is pretty spectacular, I want to give some to
Speaker 1: Bobby Wood Junior over this span right now of the
Speaker 1: last thirty days hitting two ninety seven, three, forty eight,
Speaker 1: five nineteen. I know a few weeks ago we talked
Speaker 1: about Bobby WIT's counting stats being there but being a
Speaker 1: little disappointing overall. We talked about him being a slow
Speaker 1: starter last year, and then that carrying over this year again.
Speaker 1: Second half, he's starting to turn it on. I feel
Speaker 1: like we're sitting well right on the precipice of maybe
Speaker 1: next year of the year after this Bobby Wit breakout
Speaker 1: where he becomes a superstar potential player, Like I always
Speaker 1: feel like that kid's that good, but there's just the
Speaker 1: swing of miss has been a problem. The slow starts
Speaker 1: have been a problem. And then he goes on these
Speaker 1: runs like this and it starts to remind you of like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is why we were so excited about Bobby Wood Junior.
Speaker 1: Do you think that as well, that we're getting closer
Speaker 1: and closer to maybe one of these years where Bobby
Speaker 1: Witch just puts six good months together and he becomes
Speaker 1: a rock star first round talent.
Speaker 2: I think he is a first round talent. I think
Speaker 2: he's one of the most outerrated players. I think it's okay,
Speaker 2: sixteen homers, twenty seven RBI, he's got fifty to fifty
Speaker 2: on the running out he's put on that team. I
Speaker 2: should look at the projections real quick. I'll think about
Speaker 2: that Royals team here for a minute. Abysmal offense overall,
Speaker 2: fifty run, fifty one RBI or inverse. Let me look
Speaker 2: what the projections are and Bobby Wait, Bobby Waite is
Speaker 2: still projected to go at least according to the bat
Speaker 2: X ninety run and eighty eight RBIs. So I mean,
Speaker 2: you're almost one hundred, one hundred, and then those same
Speaker 2: projections would put him at twenty eight homers and trying
Speaker 2: to do math here, forty three stolen bases.
Speaker 1: Those are wild. No, okay, bring this to me. How
Speaker 1: many times did he going to strike out this year?
Speaker 1: What's the batting average? I know, the old batting average
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It makes a contact, so okay,
Speaker 1: but that's what keeps him off.
Speaker 2: Actually, the BATX projections have him being a exponentially better
Speaker 2: hitter rest of year two eighty two.
Speaker 3: Why is that because he.
Speaker 2: Has one of the highest expected batting averages in the league.
Speaker 2: He's hitting two fifty nine right now, two ninety three
Speaker 2: expected batting average. I mean, we're talking thirty five points
Speaker 2: just about harder or higher the x lug top six percent. Also,
Speaker 2: just pointing out via last year, this guy was like
Speaker 2: a first round pick this year off of last year's performance.
Speaker 2: This year, he's barreling the ball more. He's got a
Speaker 2: harder hit exit velocity averages up his actual hard hit
Speaker 2: percent and it is exponentially up. He's actually walking more
Speaker 2: and striking out less. It's just he's got a three
Speaker 2: hundred OVP. Everybody hates it, and he doesn't walk a
Speaker 2: ton just in general, and does strike out some, But
Speaker 2: I completely agree. I think this is one of those
Speaker 2: guys that the batting average is holding down the true
Speaker 2: value of who Bobby Wood.
Speaker 1: Is, mister Buster, who we haven't seen a little while
Speaker 1: here in the Chat's good to see Buster back. Theoretically,
Speaker 1: if Atani's straight to the NL, can he still be
Speaker 1: eligible for am VP. Yes, the answer is yes. And
Speaker 1: I have a fascinating conversation on Sports cart on Sunday
Speaker 1: about this, and I mentioned this on Friday Show in
Speaker 1: case you missed it with Bogman, where I said, when
Speaker 1: you're looking at who's remaining okay on the outskirts, you
Speaker 1: got Vladim bobashat same team, you got Wander Franco Randell
Speaker 1: ro Rant the same team. You've got Corey Seeger and
Speaker 1: Marcus Simeon and Nolas Garcia all on the same team.
Speaker 1: So all the teams that are doing well all have
Speaker 1: guys that kind of cannibalize themselves. There is a small
Speaker 1: chance that if he even goes to the National League
Speaker 1: that nobody kind of matches what Otani did American League
Speaker 1: stat wise, and the rest of these guys. If Aaron
Speaker 1: Judge doesn't come back healthy and have a monstrous clothes
Speaker 1: to the season, there is a really good chance that
Speaker 1: you're going to get a show. Hel Tani new number
Speaker 1: for American League MVP, and it's going to be plus money.
Speaker 1: And if it is, I am here for it. And
Speaker 1: I already have him at plus two fifty in the
Speaker 1: beginning of the year because it was the chalk and
Speaker 1: I always like to take one good chalk thing with
Speaker 1: a heavy investment. But it's a fascinating thing to pay
Speaker 1: attention to. Let's also pay attention to Bryce Harper a
Speaker 1: little power from him. It was his first homer yesterday
Speaker 1: since May twenty fifth, Welsh. How depressing is that?
Speaker 2: That's super depressing. That's wildly depressing for Bryce Harper. You know,
Speaker 2: I think the same thing happened, but it's a much
Speaker 2: longer date with Tim Anderson over the weekend rate his
Speaker 2: first homer in like a year or some craziness. So yeah,
Speaker 2: the power out power outputs got to pick back up
Speaker 2: for Bryce Harper. We've talked about coming back from the
Speaker 2: injury has set him back a little bit, but yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean it's kind of depreciated his value. Funny enough,
Speaker 2: I just did Bogman and I do a league where
Speaker 2: first half is you know, you have like the first half,
Speaker 2: and then you redraft for the second half. So it's
Speaker 2: a two part draft season. The first half I believe
Speaker 2: was rodo. The second half is head to head that
Speaker 2: goes into the playoffs. By the way, I won the
Speaker 2: first half, no big deal, and the second half we
Speaker 2: just redid the draft on Saturday or Monday night, Saturday
Speaker 2: night or whatever it was. And Harper didn't go into
Speaker 2: like the seventh eighth round. I mean, he went crazy late.
Speaker 2: I had the first overall pick because I won the
Speaker 2: first half. I took Otawni because it's the daily moves.
Speaker 2: But Harper, it wasn't really an option for me because
Speaker 2: he was util but I didn't even really think about him,
Speaker 2: and he.
Speaker 3: Went super super late.
Speaker 2: So that it's gonna be interesting where he ends up
Speaker 2: going next year because his value is depressed.
Speaker 1: Oh well, if you're getting any depressed value on him
Speaker 1: next year, jump on it. But he just came back
Speaker 1: too soon. I mean, can we all just understand that
Speaker 1: he came back two plus months sooner than he was
Speaker 1: supposed to, and he's an animal. He's Bryce Harper. That's great.
Speaker 1: You love that about him. You're a fan, you love it.
Speaker 1: But this is a show about investments, this show about
Speaker 1: fantasy sports, the show about betting and dfs and all
Speaker 1: those fun things. I'm glad that you know he is
Speaker 1: back because I love Bryce Harper. He's good for baseball.
Speaker 1: But all the initial instincts that we had about that
Speaker 1: in the early return they were too early, and he
Speaker 1: has suffered because of it. His play has suffered because
Speaker 1: of it. We've all suffered because of it. Let's get
Speaker 1: to the rookie lookie. So the a's called up Tyler
Speaker 1: Soderstrom and Zach Geloff. Geloff seemed like the more appealing
Speaker 1: one to me. I want to get your take before
Speaker 1: I talk about the guys that are coming up for
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Pirates, who now all of a sudden, you know, decided,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, you're gonna troll us, mister Scott Boris about
Speaker 1: the draft. We're gonna show you. We're gonna bring up
Speaker 1: every prospect that we own on Monday. So first, Gelloff, Soderstrum,
Speaker 1: your quick take on those guys, and then we'll get
Speaker 1: to the guys Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is actually one of those like rare, like
Speaker 2: really on it ones. I had done this over on
Speaker 2: the CBS show. We were looking at some second half
Speaker 2: guys and I had targeted both Gelloff and Sodastrom, his
Speaker 2: players that the A should be looking at very soon
Speaker 2: because they've been at Triple A. Gelloff is a primary
Speaker 2: maybe he's a catcher, but he's a primary first baseman
Speaker 2: now he's moved off huge power.
Speaker 1: Huge evs.
Speaker 3: This year.
Speaker 2: He put up like a one seventeen I believe ever
Speaker 2: in the PCL, just big, massive power while hitting two
Speaker 2: fifty four in Triple A with twenty homers.
Speaker 3: Strikeouts a bit of an issue.
Speaker 2: Galloff was in the AFL last year, kind of become
Speaker 2: a more complete player now that he's hitting for more
Speaker 2: batting average, can strike out a bit as well, but
Speaker 2: he runs, makes good contact. Did that right off the bat.
Speaker 2: I think Gelloff is the more intriguing one deeper leagues,
Speaker 2: I would definitely look at at Soda Strum.
Speaker 3: So those are my kind of two quick takes on those.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the guys from Pittsburgh. Andy
Speaker 1: Rodriguez from Triple A coming up today, twenty three year
Speaker 1: old catcher. So ye had Davis come up? Right? Now
Speaker 1: you have another catcher, but Davis obviously been playing the outfield.
Speaker 1: His mother spots two sixty eight, three fifty six four fifteen,
Speaker 1: six homers, thirty and rbi four steals. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know how excited I am about this player from
Speaker 1: the slash line, to be honest with you. And then
Speaker 1: Quinn Priester is apparently on his way as well. He's
Speaker 1: gonna make his debut, it seems like today from what
Speaker 1: I saw, I believe, so that's coming as well. Now
Speaker 1: his era was four point three one. He's not pitching
Speaker 1: all that well one three six whip. I know he's
Speaker 1: got the big strikeouts eighty four strikeouts and a seven innings,
Speaker 1: but the thirty five walks in the eighteen starts. So
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on these two guys and whether
Speaker 1: or not you should be spending any fab on Quinn
Speaker 1: Priester or on Andy Rodriguez from Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3: I'm not really in on either one.
Speaker 2: And Andy's interesting, especially in a catcher league too. Catcher league,
Speaker 2: maybe yeah, you'd want to take a look at. I'm
Speaker 2: very much not in on Quinn Priester. I haven't been
Speaker 2: his last start. Fifty two percent. His big fastball guy.
Speaker 2: So between his four seam and his sinker, throw it
Speaker 2: over sixty percent of the time, twenty four swings on
Speaker 2: his sinker, zero misses. He had zero swinging misses on
Speaker 2: a fifty plus percent pitch thrown. His slider seventeen percent,
Speaker 2: had forty three percent swing and miss his current. So
Speaker 2: he has four pitches he throws double digit percent of
Speaker 2: the time. Two of them had absolutely zero swinging misses
Speaker 2: in the game. It was a slider enforcing that got
Speaker 2: some I just don't particularly.
Speaker 3: I'm not enamored with him.
Speaker 2: He might have a good start or two when the
Speaker 2: command is on, but I would stray straight away from him.
Speaker 2: Any Rodriguez definitely, can you know, contact play some other spots.
Speaker 2: But Henry Davis is there as well.
Speaker 3: Deeper leagues are two catcher leagues. I'd look at Indy.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the injury report. A lot
Speaker 1: to get to here. We had Shane Bieber go on
Speaker 1: the IL. Now, the good news for Bieber is that
Speaker 1: they say it's not gonna need surgery, so they're going
Speaker 1: to give him two weeks to rest and we'll see
Speaker 1: what happens from here. But they say the elbow's not
Speaker 1: gonna require surgery. But this is great news for Cleveland
Speaker 1: because they were right in the thick of this, and
Speaker 1: thank goodness for you know, ten or Biby start yesterday.
Speaker 1: It was good. Kevin Williams has been good, like the
Speaker 1: kids have stepped up in this void. So we'll see
Speaker 1: a lot. Ja Menez, stop me if you heard this
Speaker 1: one before. As a leg injury, the groin area, the
Speaker 1: lamb strings, I mean anything lower body that's a lower
Speaker 1: him Menez, I'm gonna call him a lower body injury.
Speaker 1: Mins That's what I'm gonna call him from that lower
Speaker 1: body injury. Fernando Tattis Junior was day to day after
Speaker 1: twisting his ankle on Saturday. He did play yesterday. Sal
Speaker 1: Perez was removed yesterday with a hamstring injury. A rold
Speaker 1: Is Chapman, who was in my Waiver Wire video a
Speaker 1: couple weeks ago when he got traded, I said, look,
Speaker 1: I know they're saying he's not gonna close, but he
Speaker 1: might close at some point. Now. You had Willi Smith
Speaker 1: get used in this game yesterday to go multiple innings
Speaker 1: and then Chapman came in to get the safe and
Speaker 1: he was very good. It was his first save. If
Speaker 1: he's still floating around there in the waiver wire, you
Speaker 1: gotta add this guy. You have to give yourself some insurance.
Speaker 1: I don't know why people haven't already. He's got experience
Speaker 1: in playoffs, you know. God bless Will Smith. I know
Speaker 1: he's got some of that too, But Chapman, historically, I
Speaker 1: still feel like by the time we look up in
Speaker 1: August first, I feel like the job's gonna be his.
Speaker 1: Franber Valdez did leave with a left crow, but that's
Speaker 1: all it was. So that is a sigh of relief
Speaker 1: for everybody. He manages him. Josh Jonason goes to the il,
Speaker 1: Bryce Miller off the il from that blister, and Aaron
Speaker 1: Judge took VP but still no ten timetable for his return.
Speaker 1: That that's gonna be his memoir. I believe, no timetable
Speaker 1: for his return. It's like No Country for Old Men.
Speaker 1: It's the Cowen Brothers movie. And the Welsh obviously loves
Speaker 1: that he's going to fix some kind of audio thing.
Speaker 1: I believe because he's either that or he did not
Speaker 1: like my joke. One of those two things. Oh, he
Speaker 1: is back here, so he was fixing some Internet things.
Speaker 1: He froze for a second. All is well, let's get
Speaker 1: to the three up and three down. Garrett Cole was
Speaker 1: dominant eleven strikeouts, six innings, very good. Unfortunately the Yankees
Speaker 1: lost this one at the end. Masataki Yoshida three for
Speaker 1: five with a granny. He's still having a very good season.
Speaker 1: Mookie Betts four for four over the weekend with a
Speaker 1: solo homer, perfect day against the Mets. Bad yesterday. Justin
Speaker 1: Steele six kse, six earned and six innings ten hits
Speaker 1: not a Justin Steele start were used to Zach Efflin's
Speaker 1: seven innings, five earned. Excuse me, three innings five earned,
Speaker 1: My apologies, seven hits. I read that wrong. And then
Speaker 1: Scott McGuff or, is that like to go magoo? He
Speaker 1: pitched like magoo yesterday a third of an inning, four
Speaker 1: earned runs. Welsh, how do you feel about the closes?
Speaker 1: I sitation in Arizona?
Speaker 2: I just couldn't be more right about something. I mean,
Speaker 2: I can't when it comes to the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 3: Just just don't like question me.
Speaker 2: Just don't like that I'm not I'm not very much
Speaker 2: like that all the time. But like I'm just right
Speaker 2: about the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 3: Someone's like, oh, he's got my if he's amazing, he
Speaker 3: hadn't give it up a run in July and he's trash,
Speaker 3: he's garbage. Now he'll have a great idea.
Speaker 1: What do they do the deadline? They go.
Speaker 2: I think what they should do is there's a rumor
Speaker 2: going on out and something we're gonna have to talk
Speaker 2: about over the next couple of weeks is the trade
Speaker 2: trade deadline and trade rumors is there is a rumor
Speaker 2: going around that Nolan Aeronauto might be a fit for
Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks, that they might make a move, but the
Speaker 2: contract is a problem.
Speaker 1: But check this out.
Speaker 2: If they did, the Diamondbacks should do like one of
Speaker 2: those fantasy things where it's like, all right, we're gonna
Speaker 2: need Aeronaudo, Jordan Montgomery and on one of those relievers,
Speaker 2: you know, let's say Gye Goos And that's what they
Speaker 2: should do. And that, unfortunately might kind of implode them
Speaker 2: as far as the minor league system, but that is
Speaker 2: a move that helps every facet of the game. If
Speaker 2: they don't do something to that magnitude. Fabi Davis just
Speaker 2: said it. I think Scott Barlow is mixed the most
Speaker 2: sense on the planet. You don't have to give up
Speaker 2: anything big. He can instantly be your closer. But the
Speaker 2: Diamondbacks also need about Seawald.
Speaker 1: I mean, the Mariners are five hundred team, they have Munios.
Speaker 1: Do you think can move Seawald and say, look, just
Speaker 1: handle the job over to Munos and let's move on
Speaker 1: for next year and if and if we continue to
Speaker 1: play well, Munos can close games and just kind of
Speaker 1: take a little bit of a we're playing for now
Speaker 1: ish but really looking to the future kind of move.
Speaker 1: That would be a KG Seattle move.
Speaker 3: I don't think so.
Speaker 2: I don't think they would do that because I think
Speaker 2: he's critical to that bullpen and having a punch of
Speaker 2: Seawald to Mundo and teams have also proven you need
Speaker 2: more than one. That's gonna be the Diamondbacks problem is
Speaker 2: you need more than one. So I don't think so
Speaker 2: unless they went into sell mode or you know, move
Speaker 2: off the pieces, I don't think Seawald goes anywhere. I
Speaker 2: think it's Barlow makes the most sense, or having a
Speaker 2: multifaceted trade with the team like the Cardinals.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Welch and I are gonna you know, we're
Speaker 1: gonna have videos out there coming up soon. Well, she's
Speaker 1: gonna talk about some of the players that are going
Speaker 1: to be, you know, kind of coming up or getting
Speaker 1: opportunities after trades happen this week. I'm sure we'll talk
Speaker 1: a lot of trades. I have a whole list of
Speaker 1: names here of potential trade targets what that means in fantasy.
Speaker 1: So we'll probably I would say probably Thursday's a good
Speaker 1: day to do that, when Thursdays a little bit lighter
Speaker 1: of a day of a slate of games, will probably
Speaker 1: get into that. But certainly a lot of interesting stuff.
Speaker 1: And we're back five days a week now, so all
Speaker 1: Star breaks over. We're all back. Don't worry. And you
Speaker 1: know what else is back to Prize Pick. Sign up today,
Speaker 1: use the promo code leading off again one word leading off,

Speaker 1: Get one hundred percent to positive match up to one
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. That's right, Welsh, let's pick some prizes for
Speaker 1: the people. What do you got?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 3: Feels like forever feels like if it's been.
Speaker 2: Forever days now, I mean, yeah, glad everybody's back with us. Yeah,
Speaker 2: let's get back into the betting. Let's get back into
Speaker 2: the prize picks. I have got three for you today,
Speaker 2: and it's an all pitching. It's an all pitching combo one.
Speaker 2: So first up, probably my favorite of the pieces, especially
Speaker 2: because maybe you want to take Joe and I and
Speaker 2: you know, take a couple of pieces and put one together.
Speaker 2: My favorite is the Hazus Lozardo Shane McClanahan strikeouts eleven
Speaker 2: and a half over, and I think Lozardo actually might
Speaker 2: be the guy that can help carry this. Mcclanny coming
Speaker 2: back from injury and hasn't been a strikeout monster Texas
Speaker 2: hasn't exactly been striking out like crazy, but I do
Speaker 2: like this one.
Speaker 3: I think Lozardo carries it.
Speaker 2: Griffin Canning outs seventeen and a half under. I think
Speaker 2: it could get a little messy in that Angels Yankee game.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go under seventeen and a half and
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go to Dane Dunning and I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: his pitch count under.
Speaker 3: And I believe I went away from it.
Speaker 2: I think it was eight edit and write it down
Speaker 2: ninety point five pitch is thrown, I'm going ninety point
Speaker 2: five under has some not great roads splits when he
Speaker 2: gets out, you know, home road splits.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go with Dane Dunning pitches under.
Speaker 1: Kay, I'm gonna go with Grayson Rodriguez. Five strikeouts over
Speaker 1: against the Dodgers. That's right, we're at home. It's a
Speaker 1: reset for Grayson Rodriguez. I'm in on Grayson Rodriguez today.
Speaker 1: I like Betting Wise, DFS wise. I'm just in wander Franco,
Speaker 1: Randy Rose Arena. Also low numbers here against Texas against
Speaker 1: Dan Dunning, so I'm going on the other side. Seven
Speaker 1: point five hitter score for Franco, seven for Randy Rose Arena.
Speaker 1: On the betting side today, I like Grayson Rodriguez again.
Speaker 1: Four and a half. You're getting on Betting Pros. Go
Speaker 1: the over. You can follow me over there. You can
Speaker 1: join our little group too, Bettingpros dot Com slash leading Off.
Speaker 1: But download the app too, because football's around the corner
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be doing I'm going to be hosting
Speaker 1: NFL Football and Betting Pros this year. It's a whole
Speaker 1: new thing. It's gonna be really exciting. We're gonna have
Speaker 1: shows almost every single day. Orioles minus one five to
Speaker 1: win this game outright. I love Emachiham, but I'm going
Speaker 1: to take a shot at the Dodgers today. Also Hazeus
Speaker 1: Lozardo Elite. Hazus Lozardo. By the way, had some fun
Speaker 1: conversations this weekend with Nick Pollock and Alex Fast and
Speaker 1: my DMS about that that argument between the two of
Speaker 1: them and preseason about Lozardo plus one fourteen on the
Speaker 1: six and a half over against Saint Louis. They've quit,
Speaker 1: it's over and the Marlins to win that game at
Speaker 1: plus one oh four. So you can go a little
Speaker 1: skinny little parlays double dip on Lozardo k's over Marlins
Speaker 1: plus one oh four. You get a really nice number
Speaker 1: on that. If you combine same thing with Grayson and
Speaker 1: the Orioles winning Welsh what do you have on the
Speaker 1: betting slate today?
Speaker 2: Skinny part is it like a skinny margarita, just like
Speaker 2: a skinny what's a skinny what's the skinny parlay?
Speaker 1: It's when you just do the two in the same game.
Speaker 1: You keep it simple because when you like a pitcher
Speaker 1: and you think they're going to perform well, then the
Speaker 1: probability of the win goes way up. So when you're
Speaker 1: getting anything close to even money on it, like in
Speaker 1: that's saying like plus one oh five or anything like that,
Speaker 1: you jump on it. And when you put those two
Speaker 1: things together and you get both of them, I'm right,
Speaker 1: you're in good shape. Even if you bet them both separately,
Speaker 1: you could extensively basically break even as well, so you're
Speaker 1: not really losing, but there's a big win. Potentially. Downside
Speaker 1: is of the pitcher pitches boorly and you get a loss, well,
Speaker 1: then it's a bad day, but I don't think that's
Speaker 1: gonna be We'll see how it goes.
Speaker 3: That's nice and it's low calorie, so very's.
Speaker 1: Both counts less feeling. It's delicious.
Speaker 2: Try to skinny parlay all right. I've got a lot
Speaker 2: of my total stuff going on here. Angels team total
Speaker 2: runs two and a half minus one oh five, that
Speaker 2: is through the first five innings, kind of like that one.
Speaker 2: Louis Severino has not been the Louis severn I believe
Speaker 2: he's given up seven earned runs in each of his
Speaker 2: last two starts. Angels offense show Heyo Tani laying out.
Speaker 2: I'm also going with the Angels Yankees' total runs through
Speaker 2: the first three innings two and a half over. So
Speaker 2: I also don't necessarily trust Griffin Canning, so Canning and
Speaker 2: Severino not pitching options. I love so betting again. So
Speaker 2: this is total total runs between both teams of the
Speaker 2: first three innings three runs, Angels team total runs two
Speaker 2: and a half one oh five over the first five runs.
Speaker 2: And then, kind of like what Joe was going on
Speaker 2: with the other game, I'm just gonna go Tampa Bay
Speaker 2: money line minus one twenty five back in Shae McClanahan.
Speaker 2: That is full game money lined one minus one twenty
Speaker 2: five for Tampa Bay.
Speaker 1: All right. Also, don't forget everybody about so rare MLB.

Speaker 2: Well, I was on the sheet before you and I
Speaker 2: picked show Hey Otani, So I'm also going with Otani. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean going up against Severino. Severino, it's kind of
Speaker 2: been a disaster, especially on the home run front. I
Speaker 2: did think there's a couple options you can go with,
Speaker 2: but I did want to play it easy today and
Speaker 2: I am throwing myself out with show and Joe.
Speaker 1: Hey Otani, there you go, all right, nice times there.
