Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Fantasy Free Styles Boy Jane Martinez
Speaker 1: Speeds and spitting Statistician holding you down. On a Thursday,
Speaker 1: we are live here at Rock and Riley's Studio thirty four.
Speaker 1: The weather has been absolutely beautiful here in New York.
Speaker 1: It's a little cooler than it was when I felt
Speaker 1: like I needed to sweat and take four showers a day.
Speaker 1: It's real nice. We got some people out there on
Speaker 1: the roof deck patio enjoying their happy hour. But right now,
Speaker 1: if you're listening in live on one of our sports
Speaker 1: byline affiliates out in the Pacific time zone, maybe you
Speaker 1: know you're stuck on the four h five, or you know,
Speaker 1: just getting into happy hour yourself. Hopefully your boy Speeds
Speaker 1: the Spitting Statistician, can you know, ease you on into
Speaker 1: a Friday, a summertime Friday, with you know, some tips
Speaker 1: to help you win some cash and be ready for
Speaker 1: the weekend. Let's start going around news and notes from
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball as we get into our starting lineup.
Speaker 1: UH Michael Brantley, the outfielder for the Cleveland Indians, who
Speaker 1: actually had a great game against Clayton Kirkshaw earlier this week.
Speaker 1: He is going to be out missing some time for
Speaker 1: the birth of his child. We say congratulations to the
Speaker 1: Brantley family as well as his wife Melissa, hoping that uh,
Speaker 1: you know, mommy and baby are happy and healthy. We
Speaker 1: got the Red Sox starting pitcher Brian Johnson. He's gonna
Speaker 1: go on to the d L. Red Sox putting him
Speaker 1: in the d L with the left shoulder injury. He
Speaker 1: left his start earlier this week and the third inning
Speaker 1: and has gone directly to the d L. Make note
Speaker 1: of that. Matt Shoemaker also yesterday left his start against
Speaker 1: the Yankees and the fourth inning. He's listed as day
Speaker 1: to day. Make sure you check that in your lineups
Speaker 1: as well. Donny Burns given up those beats. That's what
Speaker 1: we do here on the Fantasy Freestyle, dropping stats over
Speaker 1: beats so you can win your leagues and win nag cash.
Speaker 1: Also Matt Harvey, as the Mets saga continues, Matt Harvey
Speaker 1: is gonna go see a doctor after his start last night.
Speaker 1: What they're calling arm fatigue. I'm saying this is a
Speaker 1: big time red flag. Remember this is the guy coming
Speaker 1: off of Tom John surgery who just had that thoracic injury,
Speaker 1: and they were all sorts of question marks going into
Speaker 1: his staff men are going into this season, so we
Speaker 1: shall see. Also, um, I'd be remiss if I did
Speaker 1: not mention, especially to our folks maybe listening on the
Speaker 1: American Forces Radio network, that baseball game between the Republicans
Speaker 1: and the Democrats is going on as scheduled tonight from
Speaker 1: Nationals Park in d C. Hopefully this could be the
Speaker 1: beginning of people really toning down their rhetoric and working together.
Speaker 1: A great embodiment of that tonight at Nationals Field Republicans
Speaker 1: versus Democrats. All Right, last night, I gotta admit to you, guys,
Speaker 1: last night I told you the way to go as
Speaker 1: Corey Klueber, who was the chalk and was the most
Speaker 1: expensive at ten two hundred on Fandel he delivered, gave
Speaker 1: you seven innings of quality work and struck out ten
Speaker 1: giving you the qualities start. So probably you did pay
Speaker 1: up and did Okay, I apologize to you. We hold
Speaker 1: each other accountable here on the Fantasy Freestyle, Man, I
Speaker 1: did not The guys I got you last night to
Speaker 1: try to beat Kluber did not go well. I told
Speaker 1: you about Dylan Bundy that didn't go that well, he
Speaker 1: only went five. He get you a window against the
Speaker 1: White Sox, but he did give up four runs. Not
Speaker 1: what you were looking for if you want with Dylan Bundy.
Speaker 1: Michael Planta also was just kind of after having quality
Speaker 1: starts in six of his last seven outings, he gave
Speaker 1: up five runs. That was not the best thing. Also,
Speaker 1: I told you about Mike Leak, but he did not
Speaker 1: do it either. So hopefully I'm gonna do a little
Speaker 1: bit better tonight. Remember the truck tonight is Chris Sale
Speaker 1: against the Phillies at eleven thousand, five hundred, going against
Speaker 1: Nick Pavetta. No, not the NBA ref Nick Bavetta, but
Speaker 1: Nick Pavetta for the Phillies. Who's got a five point
Speaker 1: five e r ray. You gotta think Sale, and you
Speaker 1: gotta think if you stack some of those Red Sox,
Speaker 1: that could be an interesting matchup for you tonight. Listen,
Speaker 1: if you want to try and beat it, though I
Speaker 1: have to bargain basement guys, that could be good because listen,
Speaker 1: Sale hasn't been uh, you know, as strong and is
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season. Here's two guys for you.
Speaker 1: How about Jordan Montgomery at seventy five hundred on FanDuel.
Speaker 1: The Yankees have been hot. This guy is pitching at
Speaker 1: Oakland tonight, a great park change, you know, going from
Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium to Oakland. And also Montgomery has been getting
Speaker 1: better in each of his last few starts, went all
Speaker 1: the way up to seven innings pitched as they stretch
Speaker 1: him out, and struck out eight in his last start
Speaker 1: against Oakland. I think you can get Jordan Montgomery with
Speaker 1: a reasonable facts simile of the performance of Sale potentially tonight. Also,
Speaker 1: Jeff Hoffman is going for only sixties hundred. He's actually
Speaker 1: been good, but I don't know if you could stomach
Speaker 1: an outing happening at Coors Field. If so, the upside
Speaker 1: for strikeouts is there. And uh, you know the Giants
Speaker 1: do not score runs, lowest run total in the National League.
Speaker 1: Those are two guys. But hey, if you want cash games,
Speaker 1: want to go up for Chris Sale. I completely understand
Speaker 1: what I want to do also here on the Fantasy Freestyle,
Speaker 1: because I feel bad about giving you people that maybe
Speaker 1: did not help you win cash last night. So what
Speaker 1: I want to also do is look at our season
Speaker 1: long folks out there. If you're playing season long Fantasy
Speaker 1: you might need some people. I found some diamonds in
Speaker 1: the rough for you. These are people that are owned
Speaker 1: in less than fifty and in most cases less than
Speaker 1: a third of standard leagues out there some people that
Speaker 1: have been killing it in the last month that may
Speaker 1: still be on your wave a wire. So you know,
Speaker 1: that's what we do here on the Fantasy Freestyle. I want,
Speaker 1: you know, I want to put you onto some of
Speaker 1: these people so that you could, you know, start to
Speaker 1: move up in the standings. First of all, check out
Speaker 1: Cameron Maybron. Cameron Mayban, who's basically in from Mike Trout
Speaker 1: in the last month, has a one point one one
Speaker 1: two op yes. And the thing is, this guy is
Speaker 1: a speedster, and they're steals are scared right now. He's
Speaker 1: got eleven stolen bases over the last month twenty on
Speaker 1: the season. But the thing is, over the last couple
Speaker 1: of weeks, Cameron Mayban is hitting four twelve, and I
Speaker 1: think this is sustainable. His babbit is three twelve, which
Speaker 1: is a little higher than league average, but that's what
Speaker 1: happens when you have these speeds. There's there babbit is
Speaker 1: naturally higher. I really really like Cameron Mayban recently and
Speaker 1: he has only owned in forty three percent of leagues.
Speaker 1: Especially if you need steals or run scored, go out
Speaker 1: and get Cameron Naven another guy. I want to tell
Speaker 1: you about. This guy I have been on for a
Speaker 1: wild LOMO of the Tampa Bay Rays, Logan Morrison, is
Speaker 1: still only forty percent owned
