The Welsh and I from our normal 5 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: days over at the MLB channel, which you can subscribe 6 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,440 Speaker 1: to over at YouTube Fantasy Pros MLB, where we're talking 7 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: baseball all the time, we popped over on Betting Pros 8 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: talk a little about some of the future bets that 9 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,959 Speaker 1: we are in on this Major League Baseball season. This 10 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: is part one of two. We're gonna be breaking down 11 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: the National League next week, but this week it's about 12 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 1: the American League, and Welsh and I have targeted some 13 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: bets here for you that we think are gonna be 14 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: obviously winners this season. Welsh last year crushed some of 15 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 1: these preseason stuff. I had a down year. Unfortunately it 16 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 1: wasn't the best for me as some injuries kind of 17 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: crop off. But the two years previous absolutely out of 18 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 1: the ballpark. So between the two of us, we're gonna 19 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: make some cash here, I'm telling you right now. So 20 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: of course make sure you make that cash by downloading 21 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: the Betting pros app. Use the tools, don't be a tool. 22 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: And of course it's March Madness season too, so this 23 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,319 Speaker 1: is the best time to download it right now.

All right, Welsh, I 26 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: know we have a lot to get to here. Let's 27 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 1: start with the win totals here, because every year I 28 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 1: feel like there's a team that is undersold and over sold. 29 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: So let's talk about our favorite over first. Which team 30 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: you think of the American League right now? Win total 31 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: is a lock over for you? 32 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 2: I think the whatever you call them, the Sacramento Future, 33 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 2: Las Vegas formerly Oakland Athletics are my favorite over team. 34 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 2: Set it seventy five and a half wins and it's 35 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 2: almost even money. They hit this number last year they 36 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 2: had seventy six wins. So is this team not a 37 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 2: better team? I think this is. I think Nick Kurtz 38 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 2: one mare year through, You've got Rooker, You've got a 39 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 2: healthy bounce back potential in Lawrence Butler. I think Jacob 40 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 2: Wilson is going to make a step up. Luis Severino 41 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 2: has talked about I mean like when you look at 42 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 2: the rotation, the rotation is solid. The bullpen, you know, 43 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: it little look better with Mason Miller still, but it's okay. 44 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 2: It's going to work. They've got some pieces, but it's 45 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 2: the offense. It's the offense that's going to put them 46 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 2: in the forefront. They're still in that minor league ballpark. 47 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,239 Speaker 2: So obviously pitching just in general is going to be 48 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 2: a little bit of a thing, but it's going to 49 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 2: be an advantage offensively. Also, when you take a look 50 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 2: at the division, the Angels are getting worse, I'm not 51 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 2: sure that you would go out and say that the 52 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 2: Rangers are any better. I think the Rangers might be 53 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 2: even looking to potentially trade some pieces coming out. The 54 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 2: Astros I think are median and I think the Mariners 55 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 2: of the team to beat. But I think what this 56 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 2: does is this creates opportunity for the A's. So not 57 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 2: only did they get this win total last year, I 58 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 2: think they are positioned to be a better team this year. 59 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 2: And looking at some projections, there's a few different projection 60 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 2: models that are out there. I've seen around seventy nine 61 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 2: wins for the a So I think there is some room. 62 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 2: I think there is some adjustment room on what a 63 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 2: lot of models are saying the A's are going to 64 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: win versus where the market's at right now. So seventy 65 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 2: five point five over on the A season win total 66 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 2: is my favorite out of the AL. 67 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: All right, so my next one here was a lock 68 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: and then the weekend happened where the big piece of 69 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: it is Jose Ramirez. Obviously he left the game with 70 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: some shoulder inflammation. Now they're saying it's a day to 71 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: day situation. They're saying that precautionary tests, they're not too worried. 72 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: It doesn't have any structural issues or damage. So hopefully 73 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: this is just something that we can get past in 74 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: spring and if we can. The Guardians win total is 75 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: a joke again. It was a joke last year too, 76 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 1: is I think eighty one. And last year they won 77 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: eighty eight games. The year before it was a joke too, 78 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: because people thought they would be a five hundred team 79 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: and instead in twenty twenty four they won ninety two games. 80 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: They finished in the top of division two years in row. 81 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: I think everyone keeps forgetting that. And yeah, that means 82 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: last year too, So even when it toured Schoogle and 83 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: the Tigers really good. Guess what was the Guardians at 84 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: the end of the day. I don't understand looking at 85 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: this win total where it's seventy eight and a half 86 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: where the Guardians are what ten games worse with the 87 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: roster they have again, I don't get it. I think 88 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: there's another gear for Gavin Williams to get even better 89 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: than he was last year, more consistent. He started to 90 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: find himself really in the second half of the first 91 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: half was kind of trying to figure things out. You 92 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: still got ten or byby there. I think the bullpen 93 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: is still pretty solid. You still have Jose Ramirez who 94 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 1: is an all world talented and a perennial MVP candidate 95 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: who does not get enough attention in my opinion. So 96 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 1: I know the deal with some injuries right now, but 97 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: I don't see how they are ten games worse than 98 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: they were last year. And if you want to get 99 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 1: a little bit extra here, so it's seventy eight and 100 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: a half at minus one zero five for the over, 101 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 1: but you can also just bet over eighty wins at 102 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: plus one twelve to get into plus money, So that's 103 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: just a couple more wins. Again, they're more than a 104 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: five hundred team every year because They're the Guardians and 105 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 1: that's the way they play, and votes done a great 106 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: job as manager. My under is the Twinkies. Everything is 107 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: falling apart for the Twins, including the pitching. They lost 108 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: Pablo Lopez before the season even started. To Tommy John Joe. 109 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: Ryan could be a prime candidate for a trade pretty 110 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: soon here at some point in the year, whether it's 111 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: even before the season starts or at some point here 112 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: at the All Star break, is always player you have 113 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: to worry about in terms of his health. He's also 114 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: a guy that there's been trade rumors about too. And 115 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: I just look up in this division here and I 116 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: see the Tigers and I see the Guardians, and to me, 117 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: I just want to get out of this here from 118 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: the Twins. Seventy two and a half is the total, 119 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: and I think they're going to go under this at 120 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: minus one oh six. I really do. I just think 121 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: the Twins at this point are a team that doesn't 122 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: have an identity. Health has been an issue for them 123 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: every single season, and the way Bailey Ober pitched last 124 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: year and some of the kids they were expecting to 125 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: take steps up really did not. I think it's gonna 126 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: be a long season. For the Minnesota Twins, so they 127 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,559 Speaker 1: are my under at seventy two and a half. Welsh 128 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: who was your undersquad here? For the win total, it's tough. 129 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 2: I looked at the Twins. It's just such a low 130 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 2: total and you don't I don't think you want to 131 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 2: get hyperfixiated on like high totals either. But there was 132 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 2: one that did stand out to me, and it was 133 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 2: the Boston Red Sox. I was a pretty big proponent 134 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 2: for the Boston Red Sox last year, making the playoffs 135 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 2: and getting them and pushing through. But eighty seven point 136 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 2: five is the current number. Now they did get to nine, 137 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,679 Speaker 2: So you know, ask yourself, is this team you know better? 138 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 2: Are they the same? Are they a couple of games worse? 139 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 2: And there's a part of me that thinks like it 140 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 2: might not just be the team. I think losing you know, 141 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 2: devers from what they did at the beginning of the year, 142 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 2: not having Bregman come back. I think offensively, there's some 143 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 2: bigger questions on that. Obviously, they improve their rotation a 144 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 2: little bit, they're a little bit older, they got to 145 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 2: stay healthy on that front. But one of my big 146 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 2: more focal points on this is the division. I think 147 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 2: the Yankees are still a powerhouse. I'm not sure that 148 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 2: the Blue Jays are a ninety four win team again. 149 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 2: But you brought in you know, you got what you 150 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 2: got rid of in Bishet. You brought in Dylan ce'es. 151 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 2: But the Orioles, that's the big thing. Like the Rays 152 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 2: are always the Rays, but the Orioles I think are 153 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 2: gonna be one of the biggest jumpers. In fact, their 154 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 2: projected win total is like ten games higher than what 155 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 2: they actually got last year. So you know, where is 156 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 2: that gonna end up coming from. I think it's gonna 157 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 2: come a bit from the division, and I think the 158 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 2: Red Sox are a bit susceptible. I do think they've 159 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 2: created some balance, but I think there's some holes in 160 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 2: the offense, and I just don't know if they're an 161 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 2: eighty eight win team. So I'm gonna go eighty seven 162 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 2: point five on the under. It's close to even money. 163 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 2: That's my favorite al under of any of them, and 164 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 2: that was really the only one that I locked into 165 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 2: a whole bunch because then it's like the you know, 166 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 2: the teams like the Twins and the Angels. It's just 167 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 2: really low totals that kind of scare me off. 168 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: All right before we get to our next segment here 169 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: on the American League Betting Preview. Obviously, everyone nowadays are 170 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: trying to get their protein in right. Our goal obviously 171 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: is to trying to up that, especially if you've started 172 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: to take your workouts more seriously and trying to take 173 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: your health more seriously too. And a great way to 174 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: do that is to get some fresh meat. Obviously, and 175 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: sometimes you go to the grocery stores, it's not the 176 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: best stuff. Omaha Steaks, though, has the best stuff. And 177 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: we are right around the corner from grilling season, baby, 178 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: and I love to grill. That is my thing.

I do all this stuff. 184 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: And the Omaha Steaks is great because they send you 185 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: fantastic options here.

True story. All right, 224 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: let's talk about a little fun that we're having here 225 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: with some of the Awards American League. You know, I 226 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: wanted to try to talk myself into the Jose Ramires 227 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: plus sixteen hundred and finally get some due for him 228 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: because he deserves it, Like I'm getting sick and tired 229 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: of Aaron Judge, but the shoulder injury has slowed me 230 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: a little bit to that, because if he starts the 231 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: season off slow or god forbid, on the il for 232 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, it hurts the totals at the 233 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: end of the year. So I'm gonna pivot off that 234 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,839 Speaker 1: plus sixteen hundred, which is very sixty, very fun, very cool, 235 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: and going boring old Aaron Judge because you're still getting 236 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 1: two to one on it. It's plus one eighty five. It's 237 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: maybe it should be minus. You can argue at this 238 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: point there's some other guys you can make some potential 239 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: arguments for, But the end of the day, two to 240 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: one on a bigger bed on Aaron Judge is still 241 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: a good investment, and I still like it. I know 242 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: he's a Yankee, I know he's Aaron Judge. I know 243 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: it's boring every single year we do the same thing, 244 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: but it's gonna make money and I like making money. 245 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: So Welsh, that's where I am with this one. Where 246 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: are you at with American League MVP? Because you're a 247 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: little more outside the box, thank God? Because I hate 248 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: my pick but I'm I want to be right not 249 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: fund Yeah. 250 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 2: Well, I mean I'm gonna give a caveat to say that, Like, 251 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 2: I'm probably not betting these because I think the I'm 252 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 2: going to say, the MVP and the cy Young. 253 00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: It's just easy. 254 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 2: Like the two top guys, they're there for a reason 255 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,679 Speaker 2: and the odds aren't super great. So if you want 256 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 2: to bet them, I think Judge and or going over 257 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 2: to Trig Schooble, those are the plays. If I were pivoting, 258 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 2: and I don't do this as much. Joe does this 259 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 2: a lot. If you like to play in the market 260 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 2: of having a guy and then getting your buyouts and 261 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 2: stuff like that, Bobby Wait Junior would be the play 262 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 2: for me. I think this team, I think this Royals 263 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 2: team is going to be a ton better than people 264 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 2: are giving credit for. Obviously Bobby, but Vinnie Pasquentino is 265 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 2: becoming a superstar. Mi kel Garcia is there. They moved 266 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 2: in the walls so you might get a little bit 267 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 2: more offense. They've got a pretty good rotation, a solid bullpen. 268 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 2: I think the Royals are super sneaky this year, and 269 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 2: I think if they are going to win a ton 270 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 2: of games and win that division, it'll be because of 271 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 2: Bobby Wait Junior. So you can get five and a 272 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 2: half on Bobby Wit. I'm interested in that number, especially 273 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 2: if it ends up giving me some type of a buyout. 274 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 2: But I think it's just like if I'm betting these 275 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 2: other players, if I'm betting non judges in schoogles, it's 276 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 2: I'm betting I'm betting those guys with these Does that 277 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 2: make sense how I said that? So like I'm betting judge, 278 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 2: but then I'm also sprinkling Bobby Witt is my sprinkle 279 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 2: bet on this and I have this. I'm doing the 280 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 2: same thing with Cy Young where I think the best money, 281 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 2: like you said, you want to win, you you just 282 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 2: want to cash, is taking those top guys because they 283 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 2: are so ridiculously dominant. Probably the only thing that takes 284 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 2: them out is an injury. 285 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 1: So you're getting too Like I remember last year going 286 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 1: into the season, it was oh Tani was aready in 287 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: the one hundreds, Like Ohti was basically already like even 288 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: me because it's just so ridiculous, you're still getting two 289 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: to one, Like that's good. Like if you're somebody who's 290 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 1: like I don't really like to do this too much. 291 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: But you know what like this is, Is there a 292 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: sound investment on Aaron Jodge? 293 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 2: Yeah? 294 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: Is there a sound investment in Turk schoobl at plus 295 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: two forty, especially with a contract looming, Yeah, there absolutely is. 296 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: And I was trying to make a case for other 297 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: pitchers too, and I found this very difficult because I 298 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: don't think there's another picture that's in that same universe. 299 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: I think the National League. You can even make some 300 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: other arguments, but to me, the American League still starting 301 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 1: pitching wise as school and everybody else, and you've got 302 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,199 Speaker 1: guys coming back from injuries. You got all kinds of 303 00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: stuff like it's just not as competitive or rate. So 304 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 1: schoobl you're getting a better number plus two forty, And 305 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: I dare I say I like that even more. And 306 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: this happens too when you go back historically and look 307 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 1: at Major League Baseball. There's windows, the Mike Trout window, 308 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: the Randy Johnson window, the Pedro Martinez window, where these 309 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 1: guys win multiple Cy Young's, multiple MVPs. Like it just happens. 310 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 1: Writers fall in love with these players and then they 311 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: look they get bored of writing for them over and 312 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 1: over again. On the ballots and then they look somewhere else. 313 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 1: I don't think they're bored with Aaron Judget and I 314 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: don't think they're bored with Terry School. These are media awards, remember, 315 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: And to Welsh's point, an investment in Bobby Witt or 316 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: like my investment of Jose Ramirez, he's a plus sixteen hundred. 317 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: If he starts the year on the IL, he will 318 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: probably push further down. That's what I would throw a 319 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 1: unit or two on there, because what happens is by 320 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: the time we get to the All Star break, if 321 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: he's having a Jose RAMIERR season, he is going to 322 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 1: be four to one, three to one, two to one, 323 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 1: somewhere in that range. He's gonna be like the next 324 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: guy on the list, probably as he always is every 325 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: year when the Guardians inevitably to make their run. So 326 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: you will have cash out options on certain sites on that. 327 00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: So just keep that in mind. That's still good quota 328 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 1: ut investment if you're willing to do the patient due 329 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: diligence on it and pay attention to the numbers as 330 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: they decline and it gets closer and closer, and the 331 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: odds get better and better. So the good thing is 332 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: Welsh has another one outside for Cy Young. So again 333 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: I'm going boring here in the al I hate it, 334 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,839 Speaker 1: but like I still think the Yankees are going to 335 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: win the East. Like I hate the break it to everybody. 336 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: I think Rodn comes back fine in May, even earlier. 337 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: Maybe he's already kind of ramping up. It feels like 338 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: we'll see what you get out of Garrett Cole. But 339 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be the Yankees. And I think 340 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: to Reechouble again, so I just judge it's schooble. But 341 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: you've got a fun argument to make for another guy 342 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: for Cy Young Welsh. Let's talk about Logan Gilbert. 343 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, just again, it's my sprinkle bets. I'm doing the 344 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 2: problem I think you need is you need mass innings. 345 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 2: Cole Reagan's, if he's back to it, I think would 346 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 2: be somebody, but I think he struggles with the innings. 347 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 2: So I'm looking at a guy that can, you know, 348 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 2: significantly be out there, and that's Logan Gilbert. Logan Gilbert, 349 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 2: you know in a lot of models over the last 350 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 2: two years, has been a guy I know. Derek Cardy 351 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 2: loved him last year to lead the league and wins. 352 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 2: I think he's a guy that could pick up seventeen 353 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 2: or eighteen wins, can push two hundred innings, can be 354 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 2: over two hundred strikeouts, and if the Mariners run away 355 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 2: with this division, or at least take this division, I 356 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 2: think he's going to be in the race the whole time. 357 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 2: It's going to be tough, as mentioned, to beat Scooble. 358 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 2: So that's why it's like, I'm betting Scooble, and then 359 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 2: I'm going to sprinkle on a guy like Logan Gilbert, 360 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 2: who I think is positioned really well. Garrett Crochet is 361 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 2: obviously another one of those, but I'm kind of, you know, 362 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 2: projecting that the Red Sox are going to be down 363 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 2: a little bit. So that's why at like twenty to one, 364 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 2: I really like Logan Gilbert. 365 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: All right, let's move on here to Rookie of the 366 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: Year because we agree on this one. Kevin McGonagall is 367 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: our choice. It's a collective group decision. I think there's 368 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: a good chance he breaks camp. I love the approach. 369 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: I think that he is a guy who's going to 370 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: hit right away. He's got power, he's got speed, quick 371 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: left handed bat. I love mcgonagall's strong kid too. I 372 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: just think, you know, he's a little undersized, right, So 373 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: sometimes people I think, you know, don't think of him 374 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: the same breath of like Connor Griffin, who's a bigger kid. 375 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: But that would be wrong because Kevin McGonagall is one 376 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: heck of a player, and I tend to lean towards 377 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: most of the time the position players over these. I have, however, 378 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: been very careful ever since my duo bet where I 379 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: won on Gunner Henderson Corban Carroll as Rookie of the 380 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: Year at Parlay a couple of years ago. The lesson 381 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: I learned the next year was sometimes these are a 382 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: little bit better to wait on. But if I'm gonna 383 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: make one investment early instead of more towards the all 384 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: star breaking rookie of the year, it's McGonagall now, and 385 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: then wait and see how it develops and be patient 386 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: with it. Because if you recall too, that year Gunner 387 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: Henderson started off really slow and then he picked things 388 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: up and he was red hot and won the award. 389 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: So just keep that in mind too. Even if it's 390 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: not good in April May, it doesn't mean that all 391 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: is lost for that bet. Welsh, why are you picking 392 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: McGonagall Those are my reasons. 393 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think if he's from day one, 394 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 2: I think he's gonna put a big numbers on a 395 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 2: team that's gonna win games. But he does as an 396 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 2: uphill battle, especially if he doesn't break camp, because you've 397 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 2: got the Japanese guys that came over. You've got Mura Kami, 398 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 2: You've got a Kamoto, you've got a Mine, They're all here. 399 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 2: I actually think Murakami's a really interesting I think he's 400 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 2: like closer to eight to one if the White Sox 401 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 2: win a few games. If he does hit thirty plus 402 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,199 Speaker 2: homers and he doesn't hit two hundred, I actually think 403 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 2: Murkami could kind of be that guy. But McGonagall is 404 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,360 Speaker 2: going to have to beat that. Now he's a five 405 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 2: tool player. If he breaks camp, I think there's a tremendous, 406 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 2: tremendous value. I honestly think he's gonna become a much 407 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 2: worse number. But here's what I like about the rookie 408 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 2: of the year. If he doesn't break camp, I think the 409 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 2: number is gonna get bigger than if Murakami or Akamoto hits. 410 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 2: You might start see McGonagall ten to one. So I 411 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 2: like the sprinkle now at six to one, and then 412 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 2: I'm gonna watch the market and I might re bet 413 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 2: on on McGonagall, But I think it's a little bit 414 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 2: of an open race over here. It feels a little 415 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 2: bit more solidified over in the NL of like the 416 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 2: guy that we really like. But McGonagall has that uphill battle. 417 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 2: But the batting average, the homers, the stolen bases. I 418 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 2: think he can hit near the top of the Tigers 419 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 2: lineup really soon. He might end up being a real, 420 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 2: real surprise guy. But that's also why he's six to one. 421 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 2: You know, he is one of the favorites. But him 422 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 2: and I also kind of like Murakami. 423 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: All right, don't forget everybody too make these bets using 424 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: the app right now.

That's pretty fun. I like to do these 439 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 1: two and separate them out too. You can do a 440 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: couple of different combinations. I don't like to change the 441 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,919 Speaker 1: East and the West. I like to change out the 442 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: Central a little bit. So well, if we're changing out 443 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: the Central to the Royals, which is something you think 444 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 1: is intriguing, you get plus sixteen fifty two and even 445 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 1: bigger number. Talk to me about how the Royals might 446 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: be able to win this division away from the Guardians 447 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: and the Tigers, who made a lot of You know, 448 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: Ed McGonagall is a rookie you brought in. Kenley Jansen 449 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: is a veteran closer like the there were some busy 450 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:11,120 Speaker 1: boys this offseason. 451 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 2: I feel like, yeah, I mean, but I've just mentioned 452 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 2: like I think the Royals are going to be a 453 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 2: highly highly competitive team. The Tigers kind of yeah, they 454 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,439 Speaker 2: kind of backtracked a little towards the back end of 455 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 2: the year. The Guardians they kind of always stay in it. 456 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 2: I just think this division is up for grabs. It's 457 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 2: not gonna be the White Sox and the Twins, so 458 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 2: it's a three dog race. And I think the Royals offensively, 459 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 2: like I said, they've made the ballpark a little bit 460 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 2: better for the offense. They've got depth of starting pitching. 461 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 2: They've got a really good bullpen as long as Carlos Estevez' 462 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 2: Vlo comes back up, like, I think, they check all 463 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 2: of the boxes. Plus I think guys like Vinnie are 464 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 2: going to take a step up. I like the signing 465 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 2: of Starling Marte, you know, like it's a it's depth, 466 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 2: it's pitching, it's bullpen. I think they're aligned really great. 467 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 2: So if you are literally putting a division winner across it, 468 00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 2: you probably are better just taking like the Yankee in 469 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 2: the Mariners and getting a low number. But if you 470 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 2: really want to play all of them, I think I'm 471 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 2: gonna I think I'm gonna throw the Royals into that 472 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 2: one and I'll take that almost seventeen to one number. 473 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 2: Because I think the Royals are gonna take this division. 474 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's a pretty good return. So I 475 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 1: think we, uh, I think we take a look at 476 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: that one again. You could do both. You could do 477 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: the favorite one and then swap out the Royals too, 478 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: And look, all you've hedged and you covered yourself right. 479 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: If you believe in the book ends there on the 480 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: east and west of the Yankees and the Mariners, which 481 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: they seem like two loaded teams with a lot of 482 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: talent and a lot of pitching, it's hard to argue 483 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 1: against them. It's definitely the volatility of the central And look 484 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,919 Speaker 1: the Guardians again, another team too that could sneak in there. 485 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 1: You could do all three combinations, and as long as 486 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: you get those book ends right, you're probably gonna get 487 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: one of those other three. Right, Like, it's not gonna 488 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: be the Twins, I don't think, ain't gonna be the 489 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: White Sox. Sorry, White Sox fans, it's not gonna happen. 490 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter. You'll win your ten bucks back, 491 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: you know. And if you've hedged through there, I think 492 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: you're in a good spot. So you're always gonna be 493 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: positive as long as you just trade out those three 494 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: teams in the central. If you like the Royals, you 495 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 1: like the Tigers, or even the Guardians depending on some 496 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: of the updates. And Jose Ribirez, all right, let's get 497 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: to our favorite spot here. It's the hard rock best 498 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: bet of the day or in this case the year. 499 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,199 Speaker 1: So right now, this is what we're looking at for 500 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: hard rock bet. These are favorite futures bets for MLB. 501 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 1: We've combed through the desert trying to find everything we could, 502 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: and right now our favorites here are the following. I 503 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: am very much on Hunter Brown over two hundred k's 504 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: at plus one sixty four. He has made thirty one 505 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: appearances three years in a row. Hunter Brown is durable. 506 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: He's entering his age twenty seven season. He went over 507 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 1: that two hundred strikeout mark last year two hundred and six, 508 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: and he threw one hundred and eighty five pitches doing it. 509 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: So I think that this is a guy too that 510 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: if I'm looking for a lot of these guys in 511 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: strikeout totals. Yeah, Turik schools up there, but you know, 512 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: I think Hunter Brown sometimes gets overlooked. He had ten 513 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: k's per nine last season, and he has been a 514 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 1: guy historically around that mark throughout his minor league and 515 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: major league career. So give me Hunter Brown Welsh, what 516 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: is your best bet of twenty twenty six from the 517 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: American League. 518 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, and this might be this might end up being 519 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,400 Speaker 2: the pseudo famous in our little world of best bet 520 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 2: of the year across both of these where I've done 521 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 2: l two years ago in stolen bases, I went to strikeouts. 522 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 2: This past year with Garrett Crochet, I am back to 523 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:16,439 Speaker 2: stolen bases and I am going to Chandler Simpson to 524 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 2: lead the league in stolen bases at four and a 525 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 2: half to one. Kind of wish I was getting a 526 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 2: little bit of a bigger number, But he is projected. 527 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 2: He is the projections of if you look at atc 528 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 2: and a lot of these, he's projected to lead the 529 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 2: league in stolen bases. Though you had Jose Cabeiro who 530 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 2: had more than him last year at forty nine stolen bases. 531 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,360 Speaker 2: But I went and looked and I thought this is interesting. 532 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 2: There were only two players by played appearance that stole 533 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,199 Speaker 2: essentially one base every ten played appearances they averaged or more, 534 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,439 Speaker 2: and it was Chandler Simpson and Jose Cabiro. Jos Cabira 535 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 2: one point three to two stolen bases per plate appearance, 536 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 2: so that equates to every ten played appearances over a 537 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 2: stolen base, and Chandler Simpson was exactly one stolen base 538 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 2: or i'm sorry, point one per played appearance, So every 539 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 2: ten time he was going up, he was at least 540 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 2: stealing a base. The thing that holds Cabbaliro back, and 541 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 2: even though he stole more bases and less plate appearances 542 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 2: is the projections don't see Caballero getting a full run, 543 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 2: and I don't either. I think early on he's going 544 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 2: to be able to go. Volpi will come back at 545 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 2: some point, which will be annoying for Yankee fans. They 546 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 2: may bring in somebody, but I think best served. They 547 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 2: really like Caballeero in this super utih role, but I'm 548 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 2: not sure that that's going to equate to more than 549 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 2: four hundred plate appearances. I do think Chandler Simpson is 550 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 2: going to get the full go. I know some people 551 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 2: are questionable and dicey about it. There isn't a guy 552 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 2: out there that can bang a ball into the ground 553 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 2: at third base and beat it out every single time, 554 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,159 Speaker 2: and he's going to immediately steal I'm betting him at 555 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 2: fifty plus stolen bases. I think he can get to seventy, 556 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,360 Speaker 2: and projections are not putting that there, so I think. 557 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 2: I mean, he is one of the fastest guys in baseball. 558 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 2: It is just a matter of him staying up in 559 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 2: the majors and getting those plate appearances. Now, he might 560 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 2: hit lower in the line. I'd love if he gets 561 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 2: pushed up a little bit, but I think he's here 562 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 2: for the season. He hits for a good average and 563 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 2: his use case is stealing bases, and that team mass 564 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 2: to manufacture them a ton. And it's not the minor 565 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 2: league ballpark that it was before. They're going to be 566 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 2: hitting in a little bit more of an expanded environment. 567 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 2: So Chandler Simpson, he's out there, He's getting fifty plus 568 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 2: stolen bases. I think he's going to lead the league 569 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 2: at plus four fifty. That's my favorite bet out of 570 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 2: the al Right now, all. 571 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: Right, there you have it, everybody.
