Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy pros MLB. This is Leading
Speaker 1: Off Live, brought you by Prize Picks.
Speaker 2: Use the promo code leading Off and sign up today
Speaker 2: if Prize Picks, and of course joining me is always
Speaker 2: is the Welsh. And today we've got some day games.
Speaker 2: We got some rookie debuts. Again, this has been the
Speaker 2: month of rookie debuts.
Speaker 1: Welsh.
Speaker 2: I don't ever remember in April. Well, we've had especially
Speaker 2: this many pitchers. I mean sometimes you see the position players,
Speaker 2: but the pitchers constantly. We're getting all these guys. We've
Speaker 2: got Brandon Fought on his way too. But today is
Speaker 2: byby day. So are you excited for this incredible influx
Speaker 2: of young pitchers we've gotten here in just the first
Speaker 2: few weeks of the season.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty awesome. And we're seeing the repercussions of
Speaker 3: baseball finally incentivizing teams to be like, hey, bring up
Speaker 3: your best players, even if they're in the miners and
Speaker 3: they're young. But I will see the pitching caught me
Speaker 3: off guard a little bit, the amount of pitchers that
Speaker 3: keep coming up left and right, not wasting those bullets
Speaker 3: in the minor leagues. And Tanner Biby is one to
Speaker 3: definitely be excited about. Mason Miller went last night was
Speaker 3: a little rough. I mean he got his strikeouts. I
Speaker 3: did hit the strikeout prop, but he got rocked in
Speaker 3: the first inning. You saw some of the command issues
Speaker 3: and you saw some of the worries. Tanner Bybee is
Speaker 3: not really the same type of guy. It's a big,
Speaker 3: pumping fastball. It's a devastating slider. The guy's got three
Speaker 3: to four pitches that he can go to it in time.
Speaker 3: He's a command pitcher around the zone. It's a very
Speaker 3: different type of pitcher. And I think this is the
Speaker 3: guy that's a little bit more exciting for sustainability long
Speaker 3: term in the Guardians rotation if they decide to, because
Speaker 3: guess what three rookies this team has put up into
Speaker 3: the rotation and it's not even May.
Speaker 4: That's wild.
Speaker 3: Tanner Bibby though, in my mind, would be the number
Speaker 3: one of these guys to try to stick around.
Speaker 4: But we will see you later today.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thirty percent roster right now.
Speaker 2: I just did the waiver wire video that should drop
Speaker 2: some time tomorrow, and I don't really care what happens today.
Speaker 2: I still want to add him and I want to
Speaker 2: if I can stash him on my roster.
Speaker 1: I want to stash him because I.
Speaker 2: Want to learn the lesson from the toadj Bradley thing,
Speaker 2: which is if a kid comes up and he's got
Speaker 2: a high pedigree and you already know that the team
Speaker 2: is looking at him for starts, well it's only April,
Speaker 2: so whether he's good or bad, indifferent, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: Opportunities might present themselves as it goes, you might as
Speaker 2: well try to get them. Now speaking which I know
Speaker 2: a lot of people are up in arms about Bradley
Speaker 2: being sent down. This is not a big deal, folks.
Speaker 2: This is like a procedural thing, trying to get him
Speaker 2: on this five day schedule whatever.
Speaker 1: So I mean, I don't.
Speaker 2: Think they're not even going to he's not gonna report
Speaker 2: the Triple A. He's just designated or whatever for Triple
Speaker 2: A because they want to make roster space because well
Speaker 2: they're the race.
Speaker 3: This is well also, they actually had an actual roster
Speaker 3: move to make Jose Siri got activated, and I think
Speaker 3: this is something where it's like, right, they can use
Speaker 3: the excuse of the fact I don't know what, like
Speaker 3: I would love to know explain to me, what you
Speaker 3: have to do to adjust from six to five days.
Speaker 3: I don't know, Like, what algorithm do they have to rerun?
Speaker 3: That's well, it's called sitting one extra day. I don't
Speaker 3: know what the process is in that, but I think
Speaker 3: they just had an excuse because heiri was coming up.
Speaker 3: They could option him, they could take the next couple
Speaker 3: of days. He wasn't gonna be a bullpen arm, and
Speaker 3: then they could just kind of figure it out. He's
Speaker 3: not going anywhere. He's gonna be back in the rotation,
Speaker 3: and people are losing their mind. Just hold onto your tie.
Speaker 1: Just relax.
Speaker 2: Relax, everybody, take relax, nice deep breaths here. And you know,
Speaker 2: it's funny that I actually think it's telling that they're
Speaker 2: so willy nilly with their options on him already. To me,
Speaker 2: that's a big signal of, yeah, this kid's in our
Speaker 2: rotation for the rest of the season to me, because
Speaker 2: you know, usually you don't want to burn all these
Speaker 2: options that the kids have when they're young, especially for
Speaker 2: a small procedural move like this. This is kind of like, yeah,
Speaker 2: all right, he's gonna stick around, so let's just kind
Speaker 2: of use him now, continue to try to build this
Speaker 2: lead in the East as things continue on. So a
Speaker 2: lot of things going on there. Let's talk about Brady
Speaker 2: Singer if we can for a moment. Here his best
Speaker 2: start of the year, which again the bar was very low.
Speaker 2: It was like James Cameron low. But five strikeouts, six innings,
Speaker 2: one run baseball. Is Brady Singer back?
Speaker 3: No, Maybe, like Brady Singer was in cut range. If
Speaker 3: you wanted to move on from Brady Singer, you could
Speaker 3: even after that start. Here's a couple things for you.
Speaker 3: After that awesome start, he still is in the worst
Speaker 3: percentile of a hard hit percentage, given up two hitters
Speaker 3: in the league. He's in the worst percentile of average EV.
Speaker 3: He's giving up the top ten worst expected batting average
Speaker 3: expected slug and top fifteen percent in XCRA and barrel percentage.
Speaker 3: So he's still getting hit really, really hard. He found
Speaker 3: some of it in this game. I think he's at
Speaker 3: a space where he is a streamable guy. Actually didn't
Speaker 3: wouldn't have thought that the Diamondbacks would have been the
Speaker 3: team that you would have streamed, especially with how like
Speaker 3: you know, dominantly left handed they are and taking advantage
Speaker 3: of a right hander here. But it just happened to
Speaker 3: work out. I just think he's a streamer. That's where
Speaker 3: I sit with Brady Singer. If you want to pick
Speaker 3: up but hold and see if it works out for
Speaker 3: the next couple of starts.
Speaker 4: You can.
Speaker 3: But I don't have faith that this is going to
Speaker 3: continue long long time.
Speaker 1: Look, I liked Look.
Speaker 2: Singer was pretty decent last year. Even the thing is
Speaker 2: decent on a team is again not exciting, So uh,
Speaker 2: you know, I think it's an opportunity where if you
Speaker 2: want to get out from Singer, this is a good
Speaker 2: spot to But I think you just kind of, you know,
Speaker 2: go through, play the matchups with him and hope that
Speaker 2: he can give you more starts like this and less
Speaker 2: of the other ones. Jared Duran went three to four
Speaker 2: with a Grand Slam on Tuesday. He led the Red
Speaker 2: Sox and eight six a win over the Orioles. The
Speaker 2: Pirates spent some money Welsh Brian Reynolds and the Pirates
Speaker 2: eight year, one hundred and six point seven million dollar
Speaker 2: contract extension. I don't understand this. If you're the Pirates,
Speaker 2: I mean, I get it. It's fun right now. Brian
Speaker 2: Reynolds is a nice player. This is not an absurd contract.
Speaker 3: I gain you think they're playing with monopoly money?
Speaker 4: What do you mean? What did you do?
Speaker 2: I think if I have one hundred million guaranteed to
Speaker 2: spend on a player for eight years, there's ways to
Speaker 2: put that into a better player than Brian Reynolds.
Speaker 1: How about that?
Speaker 2: I mean, because person would never let me throw out
Speaker 2: one hundred million dollar contracts like the candy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but maybe this is the start. Maybe this is
Speaker 3: the start of locks.
Speaker 1: The overpay guy. Really well, but.
Speaker 3: Like hundred million dollars, you know, in old Pirates terms,
Speaker 3: is probably like locking down sixty seventy million dollar deals.
Speaker 3: They still wouldn't do. But like, there has to be
Speaker 3: a point, unlike the A's, there has to be a
Speaker 3: point where a team looks to build some type of
Speaker 3: a winner. And the Pirates, you know, much to my surprise,
Speaker 3: how good they've been. You know, Ki Brian Hayes has underperformed,
Speaker 3: talked about him in the trade video. O'Neal Cruz injury
Speaker 3: was you know, kind of a bummer. But the pitchers
Speaker 3: have been playing up and Brian Reynolds has been the
Speaker 3: heart of that. I just never thought he would resign
Speaker 3: with this team. I thought it was also about winning.
Speaker 3: It was just about money. He just wanted to get paid.
Speaker 1: It was league in all fairness guaranteed.
Speaker 2: Hundred million dollars is a lot of money for anybody,
Speaker 2: you know, especially for Brian Reynolds, who's been a nice player,
Speaker 2: who's at some nice seasons. So again, I get what
Speaker 2: you're saying. You know, we even mentioned it just a
Speaker 2: couple of days ago that Jason Worth overpay. Right, you
Speaker 2: do that to start bringing people in. But I don't
Speaker 2: know if Brian Reynolds is the guy that really is
Speaker 2: going to bring I just know.
Speaker 4: It's an overpay. That's the only thing I'm pointing out.
Speaker 2: Like, I don't think it's an overpay, But one hundred
Speaker 2: million dollar commitment to Brian Reynolds is a lot of
Speaker 2: money for a team that doesn't give in a lot
Speaker 2: of money to a lot of people. Unless this is
Speaker 2: the beginning of them starting to do that with some
Speaker 2: other players that they have.
Speaker 1: You know, it sucks that Cruise is hurt.
Speaker 2: Right now because if Cruise was playing well and then
Speaker 2: they coupled this with a Cruise signing probably one of
Speaker 2: those wonder Francoish kind of deals or something like that,
Speaker 2: not quite that you know, length or or dollar amount,
Speaker 2: but then we could.
Speaker 1: Really see something here. Here's one from Casey White.
Speaker 2: Carl's Korea is doggy duty. There you go, that's pretty accurate.
Speaker 2: What should I do with him in a ten man league?
Speaker 1: Welsh? What do you do with Korea and a ten
Speaker 1: man in.
Speaker 4: A ten man boy?
Speaker 3: You know, he might be easily movable in a ten
Speaker 3: man league, though we've talked about how like shortstops are
Speaker 3: just kind of like blag, you know, like we've lost
Speaker 3: the depth of the position if there's some good bats
Speaker 3: out there. I also kind of trying to sit here
Speaker 3: and think, like what place are you playing, And if
Speaker 3: you're playing Yahoo, there might be a couple more shortstops
Speaker 3: that are going to be eligible and pushed down. But
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, in a ten man league,
Speaker 3: I think you have a lot of flexibility to move on.
Speaker 3: Even if it was a bath that was taken you know,
Speaker 3: kind of high ish. He's gonna rebound, so you just
Speaker 3: need to know that he's gonna rebound at some point.
Speaker 3: But what is that rebound?
Speaker 4: With Carlos Kree Every year.
Speaker 3: Twenty homers, eighty runs, eighty five RBI, hits, two seventy.
Speaker 3: That's what you're gonna get whin he rebound. So if
Speaker 3: there's someone else on the wire, in a ten man
Speaker 3: that can fill some categorical stuff like stolen bases, yeah sure,
Speaker 3: I think he's cutable.
Speaker 2: All right, let's continue on with some of the other news.
Speaker 2: Brenton Doyle three to four with the Ribby two stolen bases,
Speaker 2: and the Rockies win over the Guardians yesterday. So again,
Speaker 2: a lot of these young players, and it's Michael Bush
Speaker 2: is gonna be temporary because Max Munsey is on the
Speaker 2: fraternity list. But this is a guy who's been red hot,
Speaker 2: Michael Busch over at Triple A three thirty seven, four
Speaker 2: sixty one, nine sixty seven with two homers, with some
Speaker 2: of the struggles of Vargas. Do you think it's any
Speaker 2: chance that Bush is one of these guys you gotta
Speaker 2: sneak through and maybe sticks around longer than you realize.
Speaker 3: You know how this season has gone with rookies. I
Speaker 3: don't want to be definitive. I'm not gonna be on
Speaker 3: here and be the person that's like this could never happen,
Speaker 3: because anything can happen, and it is happening this year.
Speaker 3: But I would say, I think it's a really tough one. Vargas.
Speaker 3: Even though he's struggling hitting, he's still getting on base,
Speaker 3: he's walking, he's kind of, you know, providing what I
Speaker 3: think what they at least want at serviceable want on
Speaker 3: the bottom of the lineup, and you don't want to
Speaker 3: hurt him too much. And he's been suffering from that injury,
Speaker 3: and then elsewhere you're just like, where else does he play?
Speaker 4: You know, there is no other spot major injury.
Speaker 3: I think Michael Bush is the next guy because he's flexible,
Speaker 3: he can move around and play first, he could play second,
Speaker 3: kind of like a Maximunthy type. He's cut his strikeout
Speaker 3: percentage this yere, which has been good. I'm a big
Speaker 3: fan of Michael Bush, but like a lot of those
Speaker 3: Dodgers prospects, sometimes it's like he would be great somewhere
Speaker 3: else if he had playing Yeah, I just don't see
Speaker 3: long term playing time unless there's like an injury.
Speaker 1: That is fair.
Speaker 2: I don't either, But I think in those deeper leagues,
Speaker 2: maybe Adam for a book and just kind of see
Speaker 2: what happens there By the way, Serviceable Want was also
Speaker 2: the title of Mike Maher's first romance novel that he
Speaker 2: wrote back in the late night. So you want to
Speaker 2: check that out, I believe you can get it. You
Speaker 2: can get it on Amazon. I believe are here's the
Speaker 2: injury round up for you. Michael Harris is gonna be
Speaker 2: get a minor league rehab assignment in Triple A on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: Hooray. That's good.
Speaker 2: Also, Travis Darnault slowly working his way back to should
Speaker 2: get him back shortly. So if he's floating on the
Speaker 2: waiver wire somehow, and you know you didn't pick up
Speaker 2: him last week for ol Hoppy, well maybe Darnaut's another guy.
Speaker 2: Luis Arise remains out of the Marlins line up yesterday,
Speaker 2: so we'll keep an eye on that.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 2: Jady Martinez was also up yesterday with the back issue.
Speaker 2: Old people have back issues. What do you want for me, folks?
Speaker 2: This is what happens when you get old. Tony gonsol
Speaker 2: and makes his debut against the Pirates today. What are
Speaker 2: your expectations. He's been pretty good so far in the
Speaker 2: minor league. Be excited about this start here. I know
Speaker 2: he's going against Oviado, so everybody ovie excuse me, everybody's
Speaker 2: really excited about the the Oviedo these days, so people
Speaker 2: are rooting against gonsoly and I feel.
Speaker 3: No yesterday, it was yesterday, that's right, Yeah, it's it's Contrariusansey.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry I confused my young Pirate pitchers there for
Speaker 2: a second. It was yeah, well, my apologies to everyone, both.
Speaker 3: Equally kind of exciting. You know, I'm a little tempered
Speaker 3: about it. I watched the last rehab start. He went
Speaker 3: like three innings. He got really pitchy in the innings
Speaker 3: where it was just a lot of pitches here, things
Speaker 3: getting fould.
Speaker 1: Oh, I thought you meant like vocally he didn't sound
Speaker 1: as good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a pitch perfect He's in the pitch perfect.
Speaker 3: Him and Anna Kendrick got a little pitchy. I don't
Speaker 3: know if it's gonna because the Pirates have been doing
Speaker 3: a good job of like not striking out a whole
Speaker 3: bunch kee. Brian Hayes is a great table setter in there.
Speaker 3: You know, they can sneak some hits in. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say this and he's gonna go six and
Speaker 3: be perfect, But I don't know if Gonsolin is gonna
Speaker 3: have the bullets to get like out of the fifth.
Speaker 4: Inning in this one.
Speaker 3: So this is probably even though I know it's Spirates,
Speaker 3: there's probably one like if you're trying to save some
Speaker 3: of your starts and stuff. I don't know if I'm
Speaker 3: gonna be putting him out there. I'm just worried the
Speaker 3: innings are gonna get They're gonna stack up on him
Speaker 3: a little bit.
Speaker 2: Here's one from Thomas helm his thoughts on may nay
Speaker 2: Machado slow start, will he bounds back? Is he's worth
Speaker 2: pursuing in a trade when his value is low? The
Speaker 2: answer is yes. I know it's two thirteen right now,
Speaker 2: one home or one steal the ops Welsh's at five
Speaker 2: twenty seven.
Speaker 1: That is horrendous.
Speaker 2: But to me, you know this is the this is
Speaker 2: your window to buy many Machado. He didn't all of
Speaker 2: a sudden not be is not a good player anymore.
Speaker 2: So I mean these windows when superstars are really small.
Speaker 2: Typically i'd be all over this. If you can get
Speaker 2: Machada right now.
Speaker 3: Yep, this one, I'm probably not gonna even like. You
Speaker 3: don't even need to look, you don't even like look
Speaker 3: at stats and stuff like that. I don't care. I
Speaker 3: want many Machado he'll get going. It's been definitely it
Speaker 3: feels like a slower start than usual, but he will
Speaker 3: get going. That offense will get going at some point.
Speaker 3: It's not I'm buying any low cells of Many Machada
Speaker 3: and I have been seeing them. I got a couple
Speaker 3: different tweets about people being able to make trades on
Speaker 3: Many Machado. One was like, it's like Dansby Swanson and
Speaker 3: something to get Machado and Lodolo, and I know, like
Speaker 3: got Lodolo in the trade video yesterday. I kind of said,
Speaker 3: this could be the possibility that's happening. But the stuff
Speaker 3: is still there. He's just not throwing that curveball and
Speaker 3: not getting the whists on the curve all that he
Speaker 3: needs to more for seen, Fastball was talking about that
Speaker 3: with Eno Serus. So he got both of those guys
Speaker 3: for like whatever pitcher in SWAT and that's like that's
Speaker 3: a smashing deal. Like absolutely, go and get Manny Machado
Speaker 3: at super low cost.
Speaker 2: Right now, it's tricky because third base is a tough position,
Speaker 2: so like deealing from a position of strength there, it's
Speaker 2: kind of hard. I mean, people want to put like
Speaker 2: Max Munsey with his eleven home runs and something else
Speaker 2: and there from Machado.
Speaker 1: Maybe you want to put my.
Speaker 4: Surprised people are doing that.
Speaker 3: I'm actually surprised people are moving off of their machados
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think by the time you get
Speaker 2: a month too the season, people start to panic a
Speaker 2: little bit on players that they spent first and second
Speaker 2: round draft capital. And I don't think that's a bad
Speaker 2: reason to panic. It's more of a reason to understand
Speaker 2: that when you look at the end of the year,
Speaker 2: is he going to be around thirty and one hundred.
Speaker 1: Of course he is.
Speaker 2: So where's the hot streak coming? It's coming at some point,
Speaker 2: so you got to be on that. More injury news
Speaker 2: to Cody Bellinger on the paternity list again, not injury,
Speaker 2: but your Noverez is absent in the lineup yesterday for
Speaker 2: the Astros.
Speaker 3: Only a dad by the would say that that's an
Speaker 3: injury news is paternity.
Speaker 4: That's a bad thing of you.
Speaker 1: Here's a fun tweet from Brian Hawk. The Twins have
Speaker 1: won their first series over the Yankees since two thousand
Speaker 1: and one, So Joe Ryan went out there and threw
Speaker 1: another gym yesterday. Entering the season, the Twins had lost
Speaker 1: sixteen of their previous nineteen games versus the Yankees, including
Speaker 1: the postseason.
Speaker 2: That's pretty unbelievable. Joe Ryan's been a huge, you know
Speaker 2: piece for the Twins this year. But despite Korea being,
Speaker 2: as Casey put it earlier in the show, Doggy Do,
Speaker 2: despite Byron Buxton being pretty much the pooper Scooper, the
Speaker 2: Twins somehow with this pitching. I mean's Sunny Gray, it's
Speaker 2: Pablo Lopez, it's Tyler Molly.
Speaker 1: And it's Joe Ryan. And let me tell you, it's
Speaker 1: been great so far.
Speaker 3: For that, I actually think this is like one of
Speaker 3: the scariest teams because like it's almost across the board
Speaker 3: outside of stupid Joey Gallo, that whole offense has struggled.
Speaker 3: All the pieces Miranda has struggled. They've been the injuries
Speaker 3: and rookies coming up and all that. While that has
Speaker 3: been phenomenal, and I think that's such a good sign
Speaker 3: for the future for a team to buy in on. Also,
Speaker 3: there's a great video of some reporter telling Byron Buxton
Speaker 3: about this stat and his face kind of lighting up
Speaker 3: like he had no idea had been that long since
Speaker 3: they won a series against the Yankees, and I don't know.
Speaker 3: I still like Buckston. I hope he picks it back up.
Speaker 3: He just smashing insane Homer the other day. He just
Speaker 3: needs to do that, you know, like consistently.
Speaker 2: All Right, Corbyn Carroll one of the three ops yesterday,
Speaker 2: three for four with a triple a double two stone bases.
Speaker 1: Ooh, he looks good.
Speaker 2: So it's still Au at the top of that board
Speaker 2: for Rookie of the Year. But Corbyn Carroll still at
Speaker 2: the top.
Speaker 4: Did you look at the odst I for album's at.
Speaker 2: The top right now? They're closed, but he Oltman's at
Speaker 2: the top right you don't care.
Speaker 4: Did you see what Carroll's number was?
Speaker 1: They're like plus three hundred, plus four hundred.
Speaker 4: He never moved.
Speaker 3: I just want to point out, Carol, in this entire process,
Speaker 3: since probably early March, he has not actually moved in
Speaker 3: his price.
Speaker 1: Everyone is moving I think plus six or seven when.
Speaker 3: No, but you got him like a little bit earlier,
Speaker 3: because I got him at like three eighty four hundred.
Speaker 3: He just stays in that like Walker's gone up and
Speaker 3: down outmans. It's just like he's the rock and everyone
Speaker 3: is moving around him, and it's the thing. If he
Speaker 3: can continues to consistently hit and steal those bases, at
Speaker 3: the end of the year he will be able to
Speaker 3: separate from the pack.
Speaker 2: I agree Jose Burrios, believe it or not, had a
Speaker 2: good start. Of course, it was against the White Sox,
Speaker 2: so I had two upsets yesterday. I thought the White
Speaker 2: Sox could be one. I was wrong about that, but
Speaker 2: I was right about the Mets losing to Josiah Gray.
Speaker 1: So made some money there. Let's go everybody.
Speaker 2: I feel really good about some of the bets today though,
Speaker 2: so and I see a lot of people have joined
Speaker 2: over at our betting pros dot com slash leading off group,
Speaker 2: So congratulations, and yeah, I feel really good today today.
Speaker 2: Got some good stuff there. So Barrios was a good start.
Speaker 2: But again, can it last? That's the question. We see
Speaker 2: the ups the downs. I mean, Burrios is gonna be
Speaker 2: good for a start, bad for two, mediocre for one,
Speaker 2: good for one. Like he needs to go on a
Speaker 2: tear of six good starts in a row for me
Speaker 2: to feel good about him and investing in him.
Speaker 1: I just can't do it.
Speaker 3: Six good starts for him to then fall apart. If
Speaker 3: he gets six, really good starts, and I'm selling his ass.
Speaker 4: I am out on it.
Speaker 3: I mean like, I like Brios, I want to be good.
Speaker 3: I think we all want to be good. But if
Speaker 3: he can string a bunch of starts up and he
Speaker 3: starts building confidence for people, that is one hundred percent
Speaker 3: of the time to get out, because then people are
Speaker 3: buying because no one's I don't care what he's doing.
Speaker 4: No one's buying Jose Burrios. Right now, everyone's very just
Speaker 4: like what kind of scared?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't blame them, Yeah, blame and then give me
Speaker 3: something else.
Speaker 2: Luis Garcia recorded seven strikeouts over six shutout innings, so
Speaker 2: he's been solid for the Astros. Here's the downs from yesterday.
Speaker 2: Mike Clevenger five inning, six earned in a home run.
Speaker 2: Noahsinderguard said, I can do worse. Four innings seven earned
Speaker 2: a six five eight e R boy, that experiment has
Speaker 2: been great. Remember when I said, fade the Dodgers because
Speaker 2: their pitching isn't that good, Noahs Cinderguard, Dustin May, these
Speaker 2: guys are gonna throw two hundred innings Pulley, and then
Speaker 2: Kyle Brader said, no, Cinderguard, I will see you and
Speaker 2: I will raise you to third two and a third innings,
Speaker 2: seven earned runs, four walks. His era is at six three,
Speaker 2: So Kyle bradish is certainly it was one of the darlings.
Speaker 2: I would say going into the season from a lot
Speaker 2: of you know, fantasy experts, a lot of people like,
Speaker 2: oh like the Kyle Brush. Now granted it was a
Speaker 2: late investment, so we can invest.
Speaker 3: I think everybody wants the Orioles, Like everybody, there's like
Speaker 3: a big love. Obviously Alex Fast has his relationship with
Speaker 3: the Orioles, but like everybody like looks at them and
Speaker 3: they're like, oh, look at these values and everything's gonna
Speaker 3: be so fun.
Speaker 4: We look at that, and then the next thing you
Speaker 4: know it, you get splatted in the face by the dongbong.
Speaker 1: By the dongbong right in the face. There, there you go.

Speaker 2: five Fantasy Boy.
Speaker 1: Sure, we talked about it on the show.
Speaker 2: Is the first under I've done because, in the words
Speaker 2: of Scott Bogman, life's too short for unders. But this one,
Speaker 2: I mean, the stats have bared this out for us
Speaker 2: here totally. I mean the judge has been bad, so
Speaker 2: he's going against the lefty today seven and a half
Speaker 2: hitter score. I'm going the under on this. I'm going
Speaker 2: the over on Peede Alonzo at the seven hitter score
Speaker 2: against the Nats today, and the Mets will hit off
Speaker 2: Mackenzie Gore today and then Code I sang a five
Speaker 2: and a half picture strikeouts.
Speaker 1: I like the over, Welsh, What are you picking on
Speaker 1: the prize picks? All right?
Speaker 3: Today, I'm gonna go with got a trend here, so
Speaker 3: this will obviously not work in anything that I do.
Speaker 3: But Boba Schett. Bobaschett is someone that I very much like. Today,
Speaker 3: got a good six hundred BVP versus Michael Kopek. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna be going against those White Sox and a lot
Speaker 3: of things, and I like Boba Schett to be getting
Speaker 3: some hits, and I went with the fantasy score of
Speaker 3: seven and a half over. Adley Richman back at it
Speaker 3: as well. I'm going with a fantasy score of seven
Speaker 3: and over, and just at least for the first inning,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Sanga, Mackenzie Gore. No runs given
Speaker 3: up in that first inning. Their best stuff coming out
Speaker 3: in the first and then it will taper out. So
Speaker 3: those are my three four the price picks today.
Speaker 2: All Right, the chat's getting pretty funky over here. I
Speaker 2: just got to say, like it's, you know, definitely some
Speaker 2: fun things. Here's here's a fun one too. I want
Speaker 2: to get this in here before we get to the
Speaker 2: betting stuff, because this is a good one. Harold Ramirez
Speaker 2: was on my ad video and he's still rostered in
Speaker 2: about sixty percent of leagues. I know, he's been around
Speaker 2: the league for a couple of years. He certainly is
Speaker 2: off to a incredible story. He's hitting three seventy uh,
Speaker 2: he's got five homers. He's been really solid so far.
Speaker 2: Would you drop jose A Bray you for Harold Ramirez?
Speaker 2: Or is it too early? This is from Fresh couple.
Speaker 1: I think it's too early to do that move.
Speaker 2: But I don't think it's too early to bench Jose
Speaker 2: abra You and start Harold Ramirez until a bra You
Speaker 2: comes around.
Speaker 1: What do you think?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with that.
Speaker 3: I'm too stubborn like Jose Hope. Josebray is hitting like
Speaker 3: but he's just not hitting for any power.
Speaker 1: Well, he's getting up to the plate with a bat,
Speaker 1: flat lines stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well no, but I mean I think he's hitting.
Speaker 3: I don't know about yesterday's game, but he was seeing
Speaker 3: like two fifty going into yesterday, so the contact is
Speaker 3: starting to get there.
Speaker 4: Babib is up.
Speaker 3: He just has no sense of being able to lift
Speaker 3: the ball, which is definitely worrisome. But I'm just not
Speaker 3: willing to give up on him as the Astros first baseman.
Speaker 3: But exactly what you said, if there's a way I
Speaker 3: can do it a different I could pick up Harold
Speaker 3: Ramirez Ramirez and then I could bench a bray You
Speaker 3: for a little bit.
Speaker 1: I do that.
Speaker 3: I'm probably really worrying about to bring you two weeks
Speaker 3: if this still kind of continues. There's no homers in there.
Speaker 3: But as always, I would always my caveat would be
Speaker 3: to anything. If there's great options, it changes the narrative.
Speaker 3: I don't know if Harold Ramirez is the great option
Speaker 3: that would take me off of Jose to bray you
Speaker 3: at this point, but great options can always, you know,
Speaker 3: make some of these guys were holding out for be cutable.
Speaker 1: Uh, Craig Johnson called me out.
Speaker 2: He's right, My ada is a right he I don't
Speaker 2: know why I was going, Yeah, I got so excited
Speaker 2: about AA today in my head and on why I
Speaker 2: kept going left handed pitching. Oh, Judge, let's go the under.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna redo the prize pick instead of the under.
Speaker 2: On judge, let's go the over.
Speaker 4: Oh you're gonna go with the over now?
Speaker 1: I like, there you go. So I'm getting the same guy.
Speaker 1: Let's go though, I don't know why in my brain.
Speaker 2: You know, this is what happens NFL Draft week for everybody,
Speaker 2: just so you know, like I've been We're doing the
Speaker 2: live coverage tomorrow on Fantasy Pros as we always do.
Speaker 1: Is gonna be spectacular. But there's a lot going on
Speaker 1: in the brain of Joe.
Speaker 3: But you know what th I remember I did, like
Speaker 3: I mean, people would be so annoying about that stuff
Speaker 3: sometimes I did.
Speaker 4: I had that with him.
Speaker 1: Never allowed to make a mistake, Welsh, you know, no
Speaker 1: mist I appreciate.
Speaker 2: Freg called me out on it, and he's right, and
Speaker 2: I'm gonna hold myself accountable. You're a hundred percent right
Speaker 2: and right. I'm gonna just flip flop it right there
Speaker 2: because seven's a low number for judge.
Speaker 1: I think what happens.
Speaker 2: I saw the seven and I went, oh, he must
Speaker 2: be going against the left.
Speaker 1: OHO's it all might? Okay, I'm I'm just gonna run
Speaker 1: through that, and I totally just space.
Speaker 3: I did that with a I remember doing that in
Speaker 3: a thing with Ricky Tiedeman where I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: reminds me of the left handed shame m of Clanny.
Speaker 3: I was like, wait, he is a left handed That's
Speaker 3: exactly what it is.
Speaker 4: So let's get I will give.
Speaker 2: You a well, I appreciate that. Let's get to some
Speaker 2: bets here, and let's stay with this Yankee game here.
Speaker 2: The Yankees are underdogs here against Kentamaieta, which I think
Speaker 2: is wrong.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 2: I think this line is fishy, so I would go,
Speaker 2: you can get plus one to ten and stuff on
Speaker 2: the Yankees you can get plus one oh seven in
Speaker 2: some other spots, so choose accordingly. Yesterday I hit one
Speaker 2: of these plus lines as well. But my favorite bet
Speaker 2: of the day is this same game parlay Again. You
Speaker 2: know me, I'm not big on the parlays, but this
Speaker 2: is a really good one. Hunter Brown and the Houston
Speaker 2: Astros going against the Tampa Bay lineup that's been very good.
Speaker 1: Hunter Brown's been really good. Six plus strikeouts. You could
Speaker 1: tease this up.
Speaker 2: You put on FanDuel, you put the Astros on the
Speaker 2: money line, Hunter Brown, six plus strikeouts, you get three
Speaker 2: to one on that combination.
Speaker 1: We just want to go all in on that night.
Speaker 3: I want to tell you I actually kind of I
Speaker 3: kind of dig that one. I kind of dig that one.
Speaker 3: I was looking at it. I was like, how the
Speaker 3: hell did you get plus three hundred? That might be
Speaker 3: I've been saying the last couple of days, I've liked
Speaker 3: some of yours and I have bet on them. I
Speaker 3: think I'm going to bet on this one. When the
Speaker 3: show is over, I'm gonna put down on that one show.
Speaker 2: So yes, and Casey, I have Casey. I'm sorry that
Speaker 2: you hit on the the under on the Aaron Judge.
Speaker 3: I mean, I still think Casey's hitting. I still think
Speaker 3: Casey's hitting here every time I bet on.
Speaker 1: Judge, you know what, You're right, Casey. Don't worry.
Speaker 2: It's probably right considering how that's gone so far. Welsh,
Speaker 2: what do you have in the betting market today? And Casey,
Speaker 2: if you want to make it up, go in there
Speaker 2: to that same game Houston Astros, Hunter Brown, go make
Speaker 2: some money there on that one.
Speaker 1: Welsh, what do you have in the betting market today?
Speaker 4: Well, one of you know this is a weird one.
Speaker 3: I made this bet and then DraftKings was telling me
Speaker 3: that I couldn't do it because the game had already started.
Speaker 4: But it hasn't started. I'm just throw this out that
Speaker 4: I did make this bet.
Speaker 3: I and I'm gonna be brutally honest with you guys.
Speaker 3: The total bases have been brutal for me. I'm just
Speaker 3: taking one a day. I'm going to focus on one today,
Speaker 3: But I have been brutal on total basis for whatever reason.
Speaker 3: But where I'm going today is because of the juice
Speaker 3: and on the site that I play on, I got
Speaker 3: plus one thirty five for Adley Ritchman total bases one
Speaker 3: and a half, So I like Boba Schet. He's not
Speaker 3: even even money. He's a minus money today, So that's
Speaker 3: why I didn't want to take it on a total base.
Speaker 3: So that's my total bass play, one of my favorite plays.
Speaker 3: I have been pretty decent in the first five market,
Speaker 3: whether it's like, you know, run the run line or
Speaker 3: team total runs. Yesterday I did. I had a two
Speaker 3: unit play on the Rangers team total first.
Speaker 4: Five that cast. So today I'm going back.
Speaker 3: To the team totals and I'm going Toronto team total
Speaker 3: runs two and a half over through the first five.
Speaker 3: I know that sounds convoluted, but in the first five
Speaker 3: innings it's Toronto to score three or three or more
Speaker 3: runs against Copek, and I'm making that it's minus one forty,
Speaker 3: so I'm putting two units on it. And then finally,
Speaker 3: the K market, I think is super black today. I wanted,
Speaker 3: I want to bet on Tanner Biby, but I can't
Speaker 3: find a I can't find a.
Speaker 4: Prop for it.
Speaker 3: So Sandal Contra five and a half strikeouts over and
Speaker 3: Drew Smiley four and a half strikeouts over. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: pair those together and I'm gonna get a little over
Speaker 3: two to one on my money.
Speaker 2: And those who have Biby you'll have Bibby stuff later.
Speaker 2: It'll happen eventually. You just have to keep an eye
Speaker 2: on the ball.
Speaker 3: Well they do that, they'll do that planning with these
Speaker 3: rookie pitchers the first time out.
Speaker 2: And you'll get live stuff on him too, depending on
Speaker 2: how that first inning goes as well. Here's a good
Speaker 2: question from Anthony XC seven. Is Outman keeping this up
Speaker 2: or should I sell? And if so who for? Let
Speaker 2: me just put this in perspective for you guys right now,
Speaker 2: because I was just kind of looking at the fantasy
Speaker 2: points leaders. Of course, Ronald the Cooney's at the top.
Speaker 2: Max Munsey is second right now and is slugging is
Speaker 2: seven to eighteen. I mean, that's a big giant red
Speaker 2: flag that obviously that's going to come crushing down at
Speaker 2: some point. James Outman is it's slugging percentage right now
Speaker 2: of seven h nine. He's been tremendous. I think Outman's
Speaker 2: one of these guys. I don't sell. You got him late,
Speaker 2: so you just he's worth more to you than somebody else,
Speaker 2: and unless somebody if you're putting him into trade for
Speaker 2: many Machado in a redraft league, then okay, But that's
Speaker 2: the only kind of like if you can somehow package
Speaker 2: in with somebody else and get one of those premium
Speaker 2: annual big time fantasy players. Otherwise you hold on because
Speaker 2: Outman is a guy that you got towards the end
Speaker 2: of a draft and he's crushing life for you. And
Speaker 2: I think he's still gonna be a pretty good player.
Speaker 2: He's not gonna be a guy who's seven hundred in
Speaker 2: the slugging department all year. Wash, what are your thoughts
Speaker 2: here on Outman? Because to me, this is another one
Speaker 2: of these guys he's more valuable to you if you
Speaker 2: drafted him late than he is to somebody else necessarily
Speaker 2: in a trade.
Speaker 4: Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 3: I think how you said it's probably good, like the
Speaker 3: blanket statement. Should I sell Outman? I mean, i'd look
Speaker 3: if someone wants to pay, Like I actually think what
Speaker 3: Outman's doing is super impressive. I think he's got a
Speaker 3: legit shot to be a twenty twenty player this year.
Speaker 3: I think he's going to go through some bigger swings.
Speaker 3: He's hitting the ball like crazy right now, but I
Speaker 3: think he's going to get attacked differently in the coming months.
Speaker 3: So like if someone wants to really pay up for
Speaker 3: Outman because they believe sure, but if someone's like, hey,
Speaker 3: he's playing kind of cool. He could be my fifth
Speaker 3: outfielder and they want to trade even value, Nah, I'd
Speaker 3: rather hold on. I'd rather see if it works out
Speaker 3: than like fifth even value trading for Outman because he's
Speaker 3: been one of.
Speaker 4: The best bats.
Speaker 3: So it's it's a little bit of a different way
Speaker 3: to kind of like agree with you, to say he's
Speaker 3: probably more valuable to you than he is on the
Speaker 3: trade market. But it only takes person to make a run.
Speaker 3: You know he can of value.
Speaker 2: MLB is here and so rare MLB is here for
Speaker 2: you to play. So go to fantasypros dot com slash

Speaker 2: Welsh has done a few videos here on our channel
Speaker 2: at Fantasy Bros MLB if you want to know more
Speaker 2: about so rare, but we appreciate you going to check
Speaker 2: it out because they're one of our sponsors here on
Speaker 2: the program as well. Let's talk about the DFS picks
Speaker 2: for the day again, Hunter Brown, I Murrady in, so
Speaker 2: let's go again. Single's more expensive by one thousand dollars
Speaker 2: on Vandal, So I'd rather have Hunter Brown. I know
Speaker 2: it's against the Rays, and people say, well, the race'
Speaker 2: have beens so good, but the race can't win every
Speaker 2: single day. Here's another one that's fascinating. Sandiel just nine
Speaker 2: point eight today on FanDuel Bryce Elder is ten point nine. Welsh,
Speaker 2: do you take the Sandy discount off the biceps issue
Speaker 2: and go against the rookie Elder? Because this is a
Speaker 2: fascinating versus that you don't see very often where I
Speaker 2: can't even fathom a world where Sandy is not the
Speaker 2: most expensive pitcher, let alone much cheaper than the guy
Speaker 2: he's going against, who's a rookie who's got just a
Speaker 2: handful of starts under his belt.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean it's obviously it's you know, the
Speaker 3: attack against that Marlins offense makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 3: I like Sandy. I like Sandy today. I like him
Speaker 3: to rebound. Obviously it's a tougher lineup, but I just
Speaker 3: don't see Sandy struggling for start after start after start
Speaker 3: or anything like that. I like this to be kind
Speaker 3: of a rebound game for him. That's why I pick
Speaker 3: the k prop. You know, honestly, now that I'm you know,
Speaker 3: kind of thinking this through and might relook that might
Speaker 3: be something. I end up taking the first five under
Speaker 3: runs to be scored.
Speaker 1: That's a good one.
Speaker 3: That games at eight, So I'm gonna guess it's gonna
Speaker 3: be four and a half runs. It's gonna be the
Speaker 3: first five. I might take the under on that to
Speaker 3: the first five against that you know, Elder against that
Speaker 3: horrid offense with the Marlins, and then obviously Sandy bounc
Speaker 3: him back stacks today.
Speaker 2: Look for the Mets offense, the Houston offense, unless Alvarez
Speaker 2: isn't in today. Again, keep an eye on that Seattle's
Speaker 2: offense as well to the Oscar is getting real hot.
Speaker 2: Some value plays aj Pollock in that Seattle line of
Speaker 2: two point five, Jose bray you again two point five.
Speaker 2: He's cheap in the middle of that order, like Welsh's saying,
Speaker 2: maybe starts to hit a little bit.
Speaker 1: If he does it, the Ross versentation is super low
Speaker 1: on a bray you.
Speaker 2: So if he has a big game, like he has
Speaker 2: a home run, it's gonna be one that carries you
Speaker 2: over pay lines bitch hannigher to eight and Brandon Jury
Speaker 2: to six. Home run calls of the day for me, whlsh,
Speaker 2: I am going with Pee Alonzo the Polar Bear?
Speaker 1: Where are you going for your home run call? Today?
Speaker 3: Well, much to the chagrin of any Blue Jays fan,
Speaker 3: today is the chat is I sure him loving And
Speaker 3: I'm watching and I'm keeping notes on all the people that.
Speaker 2: I saw one person say, oh good, I got no
Speaker 2: Ladlie Ruchman, Sherry, Yep.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm making markers for all you people just
Speaker 3: gonna remember. But both we're gonna go with Bobachett, so
Speaker 3: expect him to go oh for four, but I'm gonna
Speaker 3: go with that for the home run call today. Thought
Speaker 3: about Flat, thought about Springer, they probably hit it. But
Speaker 3: I'm locked into Bobachett today for a Homer at some point,
Speaker 3: at some point, I don't know if it'll ever.
Speaker 2: You almost became Bill Cosby for a second. There a
Speaker 2: home We're allowed if we're allowed to do that voice anymore?
Speaker 1: Are we allowed? Is it?
Speaker 2: What's the what's the statute of limitations on still being
Speaker 2: able to do that voice?
Speaker 4: And you can do the voice? Do the voice? I
Speaker 4: bet you do. I for some reason, I feel like
Speaker 4: you do a fing.
Speaker 1: Oh I do I do the voice?
Speaker 4: Hear it.
Speaker 1: Let's look at the home run boards and see the
Speaker 1: people making the home runs and the pics and the
Speaker 1: picking of the home runs. The PHB Daddy, which is funny.
Speaker 2: PHB Daddy does sound like something Bill Cosby wire putting
Speaker 2: someone's drink is at eleven, Callson at twenty nine at
Speaker 2: ten home runs, and then Primetime eight ninety seven at
Speaker 2: ten to two, and of course usual suspects up there
Speaker 2: as well.
