Speaker 1: The comeback kids, Let's play ball. Welcome in everybody to
Speaker 1: Fantasy Pros.
Speaker 2: This is leading off brought to you by bet mgeta
Speaker 2: king of sportsbooks. It's me, Joey p Joepi's a p
Speaker 2: of that of course is the Welsh and it's you
Speaker 2: and today, as always, we're talking all things baseball on
Speaker 2: a rainy day, at least outside my window in the northeast.
Speaker 2: It never rains where Welsh is in Arizona. All games
Speaker 2: are on for him. Games are being canceled as we speak,
Speaker 2: so make sure you are setting your lineups appropriately. We'll
Speaker 2: give you any updates as things go on. Also, we
Speaker 2: want to encourage you to subscribe to our YouTube channel
Speaker 2: here YouTube dot com slash Fantasy Pros m LB. It's
Speaker 2: our MLB channel because if you want to make comments
Speaker 2: and be in the peanuts and cracker Jacks, now you
Speaker 2: have to be a subscriber. That's right. We have thrown
Speaker 2: the hammer down. And I don't know if you know this, Welsh,
Speaker 2: but Mike is now somebody who has rights I guess
Speaker 2: admin rights to the YouTube channel, so I can believe
Speaker 2: is gonna go to his head. Yeah, A fard tie will.
Speaker 3: Hopefully you guys like to make comments about Ryan Mountcastle
Speaker 3: to get on his good side. That's what you should
Speaker 3: start doing right now.
Speaker 2: This is Mike Mayer this morning. And if you're watching
Speaker 2: on the YouTube channel, you could see him there. He
Speaker 2: is respect his authority. Oh my goodness, an oldie, but
Speaker 2: a goodie, a classic there. All right, let's get to
Speaker 2: the headlines, and let's start with I mean, what everybody
Speaker 2: wants to talk about today. At least I do the
Speaker 2: Mets score seven runs in the ninth inning and win
Speaker 2: eight to seven. The win percentage was somewhere around ninety
Speaker 2: nine point eight percent that the Phillies would win that game.
Speaker 2: Last night. They lost that game. People are calling for
Speaker 2: Joe Girardi's head the Philly bullpen, yet again, is there
Speaker 2: undoing Look, there's certainly two things to look at here.
Speaker 2: Number one, the Philly bullpen and perhaps mismanagement if you
Speaker 2: want to say that, or just fluky thing in baseball
Speaker 2: is baseball. And then the other side is a Mets
Speaker 2: team that for some reason just feels a little different
Speaker 2: this year than some other Mets teams. There's a little
Speaker 2: bit of magic there. We'll see if that continues. But
Speaker 2: wels this was the story of Major League Baseball last
Speaker 2: night period. What were your thoughts on that come there.
Speaker 3: Some blown calls as well, I remember correctly. Yeah, well,
Speaker 3: I mean it's just getting there. Yeah, I kind of
Speaker 3: agree with what you're saying. This Mets team is built
Speaker 3: a little bit different. Like I think in years past,
Speaker 3: this would be inverst you know, we would be talking
Speaker 3: about how the Mets blew this eight run lead and
Speaker 3: the ninth inning, and oh it's those classic Mets doing
Speaker 3: what they do, and amazingly they're still continuously doing it
Speaker 3: all without Jacob de Grom, who they're still months away from.
Speaker 3: They got a pretty good offense, they got a bullpen
Speaker 3: that's working, and they've got a staff anchored by Max
Speaker 3: Scherzer that continues to run. Mets are a problem unless
Speaker 3: you remember.
Speaker 2: If they get Jacob de Grom back, oil Boy and
Speaker 2: then the real Jacob deGrom, not the fake one.
Speaker 3: Not the closer one, not the closer one that you think.
Speaker 2: Look, I think it's a possibility. I think it was
Speaker 2: a fun bold prediction, hot take. But at the end
Speaker 2: of the day, Jacob de Grom for an ending is
Speaker 2: better Jacob deGrom than no innings. Isn't it. I'm you're saying,
Speaker 2: I suppose. I mean, talk about shortening a game. You
Speaker 2: put Jacob de Grom out there with a clean three
Speaker 2: outs to get you tell me he's not gonna get
Speaker 2: three outs. Come on, all right, let's talk about Hunter
Speaker 2: Green giving up five thousand whole runs last night. But
Speaker 2: he says he's okay, He's fine, Everything's fine. How are you?
Speaker 2: Tommy Edmond had three hits, three RBIs against the Giants,
Speaker 2: Mana Machado two dingers for him. Taylor Rogers got his
Speaker 2: eleventh save. Jesus Lozardo strikes out seven, but in a
Speaker 2: loss to the Padres, Kyle Tucker continues to be great,
Speaker 2: So so much for that slow start. Told Joe, we
Speaker 2: hope you bought when you could that window shut, and
Speaker 2: I just got to say, Welsh, you know, we take
Speaker 2: l's on this show because we keep it real where
Speaker 2: the Kings are keeping it real. But yesterday was a
Speaker 2: pretty good day for prop bets here around this show.
Speaker 2: So if you watched yesterday, I.
Speaker 3: Gotta tell you, dude, it was a great day. The
Speaker 3: only one that got wrong, I swear was the one
Speaker 3: I felt the greatest about. It's unbelievable. I think you
Speaker 3: guys posted out like niner of them. The Trig schoolbo
Speaker 3: one absolutely smacked my Byron Buxton one. He cracked a
Speaker 3: homer on there. The only one that didn't hit, I
Speaker 3: swear to you, was the confident.
Speaker 2: All of these hit, but Tony smash my Sodo parlay
Speaker 2: you could have parlayed was would have like a thousand
Speaker 2: dollars probably.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Shane mcclanahan's strikeouts, it's still unbelievable. It didn't hit.
Speaker 3: It actually for me and one of the books, they
Speaker 3: dropped it down to five and a half and juiced
Speaker 3: it up and I took it into parlay. It's the
Speaker 3: only one. McClanahan didn't look like he had his best
Speaker 3: stuff last night. And he had about four or five
Speaker 3: different situations where he was on one two counts, easy
Speaker 3: strikeout counts for him and he just couldn't get it done.
Speaker 3: But every other prop hit. It was a really good
Speaker 3: prop day.
Speaker 2: Well look at this. This is from our friend Cameron says.
Speaker 2: Sports Center is now copying you guys yesterday started making
Speaker 2: home run calls and will be t tracking their calls
Speaker 2: for the remainder of the season. Hmm. It's funny. I
Speaker 2: started doing this on shows a few years ago, and
Speaker 2: then I brought with me when I came to Fantasy
Speaker 2: Pros and it was wildly poppular. Everybody loved it. But
Speaker 2: you know, it's it's nice that ESPN watches the show
Speaker 2: and I'm clearly their scouting talent. I don't know if
Speaker 2: Welsh's gonna move to Connecticut. I'm not a big fan
Speaker 2: of Connecticut personally. It seems like a state with well,
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not New York, it's not New England.
Speaker 2: It doesn't know what it wants to be. It's a
Speaker 2: very weird place. It's Connecticut.
Speaker 3: It's sports center. I think it's ESPN, Isn't that mainly it?
Speaker 3: It's ESPN Connecticut.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Well, I mean it's the
Speaker 2: home of NBA. Let's be honest, that's what it's the
Speaker 2: home of right now. But it's just interesting there. Thank
Speaker 2: you Cameron for sharing that. And I know ESPN got
Speaker 2: rid of their baseball podcast, so they really don't care
Speaker 2: about you guys.
Speaker 3: We do, we do, I mean as I mean, it's
Speaker 3: amazing anytime they even tweet out anything about baseball whatsoever.
Speaker 3: It's like it doesn't It's that whole thing you and
Speaker 3: I kind of talk about where obviously the big dog
Speaker 3: is football, but you can't pretend like baseball doesn't exist,
Speaker 3: and unfortunately a lot of games ESPN has done that.
Speaker 2: All right, let's let's move on here to some more things.
Speaker 2: And of course this got highlighted in the notes. I
Speaker 2: put it in the notes in and it's I don't
Speaker 2: know what color it is because is it it's Ryan
Speaker 2: Mountcastle homering twice.
Speaker 3: And it's orange. I'm not sure orange. Yeah, it's a
Speaker 3: it's Baltimore oriole orange.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I thought it was. And of course
Speaker 2: Byron Buxson's home run. Let's get to some of the injuries,
Speaker 2: and then we'll get to the call ups, because I
Speaker 2: know everybody wants to talk about Duran and Ryce Lewis.
Speaker 2: We're gonna get to that. We're gonna talk to mister
Speaker 2: prospect one about that before we do. UH. Imaging suggests
Speaker 2: that Korea may have a fractured finger, so we'll keep
Speaker 2: an eye on that one. That's bad news for the Twinkies.
Speaker 2: Nick Casiano's left the game hit by a pitch, But
Speaker 2: good news the X Rays were negative, so no breaks there,
Speaker 2: and Kiki Hernandez is going on the COVID nineteen. I
Speaker 2: l we're getting a spike in COVID in a lot
Speaker 2: of places here, So let's talk about some of the
Speaker 2: call ups here. Jared Duran from tripa A to the
Speaker 2: Red Sox, the Royce Lewis promotion here from the Twins
Speaker 2: because of the potential injury. We had Yepez earlier this week,
Speaker 2: Miranda another guy that called up. So you are the
Speaker 2: host of Prospect one podcast, talk to me about some
Speaker 2: of these prospects, how people should be approaching them, because
Speaker 2: this could be a very very dicey weekend for pickups
Speaker 2: and fab because some people might overspend on some of
Speaker 2: these rookies. How would you suggest people go about it?
Speaker 3: Well, you know, Yapez is fun. I don't think he's
Speaker 3: long for the majors here, just because he's not positionally
Speaker 3: set up. But he makes good contact and he's already
Speaker 3: had a couple good early hits. Miranda's super interesting because
Speaker 3: Miranda can do a little bit of everything, but he
Speaker 3: doesn't have a great positional home. I was a little
Speaker 3: dicey on him until Michel Snow is out and then
Speaker 3: Luisa rises out. Miranda is set up where he could
Speaker 3: be sticking around for a while, except they bring up
Speaker 3: Royce Lewis, and I am a big Royce Lewis guy.
Speaker 3: I absolutely love him. He has had massive injury issues
Speaker 3: over the last couple of years, where the twenty nineteen season,
Speaker 3: the injuries took him into really having like his worst
Speaker 3: professional season and it extended all season long where he
Speaker 3: then won MVP in the in the Arizona Fall League,
Speaker 3: then he ended up getting injured. Comeback, He's hit over
Speaker 3: three hundred the miners this year, eight stolen bases, three homers,
Speaker 3: and dropped his k rate to under twenty percent with
Speaker 3: an almost sixteen percent walk rate kick completely back in.
Speaker 3: He's a five tool player. He is the most intriguing
Speaker 3: of all these players to me if he were to
Speaker 3: get regular time, because it looks like Carlos Korea is
Speaker 3: going to miss some time with a finger injury, and
Speaker 3: that's a guy that you know, twenty plus homers, he
Speaker 3: can steal bases. Miranda is a better contact hitter, but
Speaker 3: I think is going to steal a little bit less. Ironically,
Speaker 3: the Twins have two of the most exciting fantasy options
Speaker 3: that I would be looking at I personally picked up
Speaker 3: Royce Lewis and every league I could last night, and
Speaker 3: a lot of my redraft leagues, simply because I think
Speaker 3: he can hit. I think he'd be at the top
Speaker 3: of the lineup and he can steal some bases. And
Speaker 3: then the other one, Jared Duran. Jared Durant has had
Speaker 3: his look. Looks like he's changed his approach a little bit.
Speaker 3: On the miners. He's had a really good run. He's
Speaker 3: hitting almost four hundred seven stolen bases. He's got some power.
Speaker 3: I just don't think the Red Sox are going to
Speaker 3: keep him there for long. So if I were throwing
Speaker 3: fab out, it would be Royce and Miranda, and if
Speaker 3: I were just looking for a little bit of a
Speaker 3: stop gap, I would go to Yepez and Jerndoran.
Speaker 2: All right, there you go. See this is why Welsh
Speaker 2: does what he does. If you have more questions about prospects,
Speaker 2: follow him on the Twitter machine. At is it the
Speaker 2: Welsh because he is the prospect dude. All right, tonight
Speaker 2: already got the Rangers and Yankees, postponed, Dodgers and Cubs,
Speaker 2: so no games there. If we get anything else, we'll
Speaker 2: talk about it. Let's talk about we had some fun
Speaker 2: with this yesterday, so let's run through these fast, because
Speaker 2: again this was a piece from MLB dot com. We
Speaker 2: had some fun with MVPs for each team so far.
Speaker 2: I think yesterday we agreed with like seventy five percent
Speaker 2: of them in the American League. Here's the National League.
Speaker 2: Kyle Wright, Braves, I agree, you agree MVP so far
Speaker 2: the Braves, he's been dominant, especially with Charlie Morton being
Speaker 2: bad and Freed getting off to a slow start. Kyle
Speaker 2: Wright has kept this rotation together. You know, it's been
Speaker 2: all over the lies.
Speaker 3: Love Kyle Wright. I can't think of who I feel like, well, no, no,
Speaker 3: I totally agreed, like I feel like there's somebody better
Speaker 3: set for it, but he has been freaking phenomenal. So
Speaker 3: I guess it's Kyle.
Speaker 2: Right for now, for now. Jass Chisholm for the Marlins. Yes,
Speaker 2: we all put our keys in there. Max schuers are
Speaker 2: for the Mets. I mean, I could argue Tyler is
Speaker 2: close to but it's you could argue Tyler, you could
Speaker 2: Juan Soto. No, no arguments there. Who By the way,
Speaker 2: another home run for me? So guess what Joey p
Speaker 2: started to creep up. The board has got three already,
Speaker 2: thanks Jan Sodo my one one Phillies. Uh, it's funny
Speaker 2: that Corey canevel so I mean, I mean it's still
Speaker 2: Bryce Harper still the most valuable.
Speaker 3: Has been pretty good too's being good too.
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the central the Brewers had
Speaker 2: they had Josh Hater, which I don't know. I I
Speaker 2: think Rowdy Tellez is in that conversation. I think McCutcheon
Speaker 2: is in that conversation, but I think Willia Domas would
Speaker 2: be the guy that I would pick.
Speaker 3: I think Eric Lawer would be in that. When Eric
Speaker 3: Woodruff and Burns have both struggled, Lower has picked up
Speaker 3: the slack, So I don't know, I'd probably go lower.
Speaker 2: All right, this is fun. If you've got comments about this,
Speaker 2: you know, drop them in there in the chat. But again,
Speaker 2: you have to be subscribe to get in the chat
Speaker 2: with the Penis and Cracker Jacks Cardinals is easy. Nolan Arnatto,
Speaker 2: the Cubs don't have one, even though it's say a Suzuki.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 2: Uh, Pirates Cabrian Hayes, Okay, I mean he's been okay,
Speaker 2: he's been good. He's got a good slash four hundred OBP.
Speaker 2: I'll take that. That's fine. The Reds, I don't know
Speaker 2: the Joey Vados TikTok. I think they had Alexis Diaz,
Speaker 2: but I don't know if I agree with that one either.
Speaker 3: I mean, no, it's so interesting because there's a couple
Speaker 3: of these teams, like the Pirates and Reds, and it's like,
Speaker 3: you gotta really I'm trying to sit here and think, like,
Speaker 3: who has even been really good on these teams right now?
Speaker 3: I don't think i'd say the fans for the Reds.
Speaker 2: Well, any fans that show up. I keep making this
Speaker 2: argument too, which is from a way standpoint, uh and
Speaker 2: from also a fantasy standpoint. Get your investments in your
Speaker 2: Brewers because this division is so top heavy and the
Speaker 2: Brewers hitters. You see Yelich starting to come back to
Speaker 2: be Yelich. You're seeing Rowley to Leslie great, a Dominis
Speaker 2: be great. Mccutchen's kind of having a little renaissance Hunter
Speaker 2: Renfros picking things up. I'm telling you right now, any
Speaker 2: financial investments you can make, whether it be props, whether
Speaker 2: it be long term futures, anything, in the Brewers. I'm
Speaker 2: all in because the Cubs stink, the Pirates are terrible,
Speaker 2: and the Reds are atrocious. I mean that's it. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's just it's a very easy thing here. Uh. Merril
Speaker 2: Kelly for the Diamondbacks, you agree with that one?
Speaker 3: Merle Merle, Yeah, I mean Merle has probably I mean
Speaker 3: I think Bumgarner as well. Bumgarner's been really good so far.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean Diamondbacks kind of black. But I'll
Speaker 3: go I'll give you Merle.
Speaker 2: For the Dodgers, they picked Freddie Freeman. I would still
Speaker 2: say kershar Walker Bueher so far, would.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Carlos Rodin for the Giant if that's an OBRAINI in
Speaker 2: running me Chaddo for the Padres. No brainer for the Rockies,
Speaker 2: Chad Coo because he's cool the other side of the pillow.
Speaker 2: I mean, how is it not? CJ. Cron I mean,
Speaker 2: I know this is dumb, all right, So there you go,
Speaker 2: there's our take on that. Let's move on to something
Speaker 2: else here. Fun facts hitting third and making his first
Speaker 2: start on the mound at Fenway Park show Hey Atana
Speaker 2: yesterday became the first starting pitcher at bat in one
Speaker 2: of the top four spots in a game at the
Speaker 2: Historic Ballpark since Babe Ruth did it September twentieth, nineteen nineteen.
Speaker 2: I cannot wait. I haven't found it yet, but you know,
Speaker 2: and I know there's going to be a wait. It's
Speaker 2: not impossible. If the odds are anything above five to one,
Speaker 2: I am going to put money on it.
Speaker 3: Welsh, your thoughts, Yeah, I agree with that. I actually
Speaker 3: have a sub context question that could send us down
Speaker 3: a rabbit hole and would make a certain other co
Speaker 3: host of mine angry. Do you think Babe not here?
Speaker 3: Do you think Babe Ruth could strike out Otani or
Speaker 3: hit a home run off of Otani?
Speaker 2: Couldn't strike out Hotani? I don't think I'm gonna say no,
Speaker 2: because I mean, pitching is so different then, the velocity
Speaker 2: is not nearly the same. It was also what they
Speaker 2: were doing to the ball, God knows back then. I mean,
Speaker 2: there was a lot more doctoring in the baseball and
Speaker 2: spit balls and things of that nature. If you had
Speaker 2: to put Babe Ruth in this era of pitching, and
Speaker 2: he wasn't like he was a very good pitcher, but
Speaker 2: it was a Walter Johnson dominant pitcher. He was a
Speaker 2: good pitcher. Can he get a hit?
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say, but he gets like like that's a
Speaker 3: tough one.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think i'd have to say, like, okay, you get
Speaker 3: three at bats? He gets three at bats, so Tani
Speaker 3: is up maybe four just caught like one game, four
Speaker 3: un bats, does Babe Ruth hit a home run off
Speaker 3: of Otani is pumping nine?
Speaker 2: I think if you give him four at bats, I
Speaker 2: think he would definitely get a hit. And I think
Speaker 2: I say a sample of ten at bats he could
Speaker 2: get a home run, because you gotta have a sample.
Speaker 2: You can't just throw his ears one at bat and
Speaker 2: get a home run.
Speaker 3: That's and that's why I said four at bats. One
Speaker 3: game you get in there? Does he get like four bats?
Speaker 2: I'll give him a hit. Ten at bats, I would
Speaker 2: give him a home run. Babe Ruth is pretty special, but
Speaker 2: he can't strike in I remember watching him play when
Speaker 2: I was a kid.
Speaker 3: So let's get to this day and.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try to knock the Mets fans down a peg.
Speaker 2: Remember Anthony Young, He was a starter in nineteen ninety
Speaker 2: four for the Mets. He was on an epic losing streak.
Speaker 2: He had lost twenty nine straight games until eventually he
Speaker 2: did win one when he finally became a member of
Speaker 2: the Chicago Cubs and he beat the Pirates ten to one.
Speaker 2: Stat heroes from yesterday Shohel tany Oh Baby eleven strikeouts
Speaker 2: and no earn seven innings. Great start for him. Poor
Speaker 2: Aaron Nola, He's been good lately. He's been very good.
Speaker 2: Last two starts in fact, one earned run, seven innings,
Speaker 2: seven k's. Bup End blows the win for him. Daniel
Speaker 2: Bard one point eight o e r A eight saves
Speaker 2: after closing out the ninth for the Nationals yesterday. Jose
Speaker 2: Yourquidi six innings, three k's for him, no earn to
Speaker 2: earn for Lozardo. We talked about him in Schooble with
Speaker 2: the nine k's being great. Double dong last night from
Speaker 2: Ryan Mountcastle, Manny Matchadel and Willia Damas again. Jared Walsh,
Speaker 2: who you know. I kicked myself because I had Jared
Speaker 2: Walsh in some lineups that I took him out. And
Speaker 2: of course yesterday home run for RBI. Lindor had a
Speaker 2: home run, Starling Marteta, home run, Bryce Harper, Tyler Stevenson,
Speaker 2: Christian Yelich three for five with a home run at
Speaker 2: a stolen base. Is Christian yellis back?
Speaker 3: I think he might be a little back, just a little.
Speaker 2: Bit, Okay. Brendan Rodgers two for four with a home
Speaker 2: run for RBI, first time out of the year. He's
Speaker 2: in just a buck forty nine. I had to drop
Speaker 2: him in the league last week. Would you be looking
Speaker 2: to stash him right now?
Speaker 3: I would be monitoring him. It's really funny because we
Speaker 3: had this whole segment Paul Sport was on in this
Speaker 3: league with us this week, and we had this whole
Speaker 3: segment on Brendan Rodgers and how atrocious he's been and
Speaker 3: was he washed and was he a guy that you
Speaker 3: could cut? He definitely was a guy that you can cut.
Speaker 3: This wouldn't be the start that would make me jump
Speaker 3: on picking him up unless I had just like you know,
Speaker 3: wonky players on the back end of my my bench.
Speaker 3: But I would definitely keep monitoring on him if he
Speaker 3: gets going, because again it's Colorado. Brenda Rodgers is a
Speaker 3: power speed combo guy. He has just hit atrociously to
Speaker 3: start the year. I would be, uh, I would be
Speaker 3: monitoring for sure.
Speaker 2: All right, let's move on to Stephen Kwan first home run.
Speaker 2: Congratulations to Stephen Kuan. So there's your daily Kwan of
Speaker 2: the days. Back Lad also had a home run yesterday.
Speaker 2: Here's the bad ones. Cory Canable three earned runs, Tan
Speaker 2: or How seven earned runs, four k's in the loss
Speaker 2: of the Angels, Taiwan Walker was bad. Six earned runs
Speaker 2: for him, Hunter Green five home runs. It was just
Speaker 2: it was crazy. I mean the crew has been good,
Speaker 2: but still, I mean, I understand the guy throws one
Speaker 2: hundred miles of the hours if we make contact this
Speaker 2: Buckingna fly out.
Speaker 3: Because it doesn't move man, just it just that fastball
Speaker 3: comes down the plate and dudes are just sitting on it.
Speaker 3: They've got a little book on him. That's what a
Speaker 3: picture like him. This is also I like Lodolo more.
Speaker 3: But you got to see how he adjusts. It's gonna
Speaker 3: be a big key on how he is going to
Speaker 3: adjust to. I mean, you say he's gonna adjust Look
Speaker 3: at the Mariners will The Mariners gave Matt Brash four
Speaker 3: attempts and then they've now said, not only are going
Speaker 3: to triple A, you're now in the bullpen. You're now
Speaker 3: a bullpen arm. They didn't like that was his adjustment.
Speaker 3: They gave him four games, he didn't find his adjustment,
Speaker 3: and the team came suit saying, now you're gonna be
Speaker 3: a bullpen arm and that's for good now. So I
Speaker 3: don't know, watch out for Hunter Green. I lidolo over
Speaker 3: Green for me, not as victory lap or anything like that,
Speaker 3: but hopefully Green can get right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm still a Green guy, but I think I
Speaker 2: think there's still plenty of time. I think it's, you know,
Speaker 2: just the kid's got to learn to locate better. And
Speaker 2: you know, it's you can throw one hundred miles an
Speaker 2: hour into big leagues. It's you know, unless it's in
Speaker 2: the ninth inning, it's not gonna happen. You know, you
Speaker 2: have to locate your pitches. Aaron Sanchez six earned runs
Speaker 2: in four innings. So is a Burrios six earned runs
Speaker 2: in four and two thirds E raise above five. Now
Speaker 2: he'd had a good start. I think everybody felt like
Speaker 2: he got back on track. What's your temperature on Burrios
Speaker 2: right now? Because this is a guy that they Blue
Speaker 2: Jays really need as that third guy in this rotation.
Speaker 3: I'm still kind of a buy on Brios and this
Speaker 3: might be the last opportunity. I'm a little weary that
Speaker 3: this keeps going on. But this is kind of like
Speaker 3: a kind of like a trend of Jose Brios, you know, first,
Speaker 3: I don't know if you want to call it like
Speaker 3: quarter of the season struggles and pick it back up.
Speaker 3: They're definitely depending on him. I'm a little worried with
Speaker 3: where location is going and how he's getting beat up.
Speaker 3: But I would be poking around at owners and seeing
Speaker 3: if I can get him on the on the real cheap.
Speaker 2: Right now, all right, Welsh's poking around, Let's poke around
Speaker 2: some of the hitters. Trevor Story, oh for four four
Speaker 2: k's zero shares. I gotta tell you, I was not
Speaker 2: into Trevor Story when he would leave Colorado. I just
Speaker 2: nod into it. And you know what I would have
Speaker 2: been if it was more of a discount, But I
Speaker 2: think it was enough of a discount to tempt me
Speaker 2: to see and he'll be better than this. Like that's
Speaker 2: the thing too. Trevor Story is a better player than
Speaker 2: the two to ten batting average, So I would buy
Speaker 2: him in redraft leagues, but in dynasty formats. Once he
Speaker 2: was leaving Colorado and starting to get older, to me,
Speaker 2: that was the time to get out.
Speaker 3: I mean, second mission, second base ability to just want
Speaker 3: to throw out like I thought that was something that
Speaker 3: was kind of exciting and going to still like a
Speaker 3: pretty good ballpark to hit in. But now I mean,
Speaker 3: you're right, he's just been atrocious.
Speaker 2: Julio Rodriguez O for four to three, k's Topyo for
Speaker 2: five with two, and Jesus Sanchez oh for four with three.
Speaker 2: So Sanchez come back to earth two. Let's take a look,
Speaker 2: shall we Welsh at the home run board? There it
Speaker 2: is a king of the off of twelve. All I
Speaker 2: do is win at eleven JP at eleven. Yesterday, Wakee

Speaker 2: up to nine. Joey p Juan Soto again back on
Speaker 2: the wand wagon. Let's go, baby, let's do it so
Speaker 2: we'll get to our home run calls later. But first
Speaker 2: it's time to make some money. And yesterday I hope
Speaker 2: you listened, because ooh lolly, did we make some money yesterday?

Speaker 2: Today Shane Bieber strikeout prop over on DK six and
Speaker 2: a half. I like the over on that you're getting
Speaker 2: plus one ten. The Feranomil maybe starting to come back.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Look on DK it's point five minus one fifteen to
Speaker 2: the Jews. I got Bobby Witt on the total bases
Speaker 2: one and a half. I'm feeling frisky after yesterday. What
Speaker 2: can I say?
Speaker 3: I don't know's going I don't like that one. I
Speaker 3: don't like that one.
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I think, I don't know. Just
Speaker 2: say maybe Bobby Wood Junior plus one twenty though on
Speaker 2: the one and a half total bases, Brian Reynolds one
Speaker 2: a half total bases you're getting plus one ten and
Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker, you're getting even money on the plus one
Speaker 2: and a half. Those are all on DK tonight. Well,
Speaker 2: she got a couple you like as well. The prop market.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was looking over on the K market Kyle Gibson.
Speaker 3: I actually like to go on the under on strikeouts.
Speaker 3: Kyle Gibson four and a half under K's and Luis
Speaker 3: Roberts one and a half over on the total basis
Speaker 3: is somewhere where I would like to attack. Always trying
Speaker 3: to attack Luise Robert. I'm a little weary, I gotta
Speaker 3: tell you, with the weather making early bets, I might
Speaker 3: be just a tiny bit more. I might hold back
Speaker 3: a little bit for everybody and wait to see what
Speaker 3: the weather looks like at each ballpark closer to game
Speaker 3: time and obviously what games are going to be canceled
Speaker 3: before I jump in. There's not a great market. I'd
Speaker 3: love to take advantage of some of the strikeouts. I
Speaker 3: don't love the strikeouts.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: Another one that I was iron was Merle was actually
Speaker 3: Merle Kelly who he has dialed down his strikeouts a
Speaker 3: little bit every start and went seven, six, five, and
Speaker 3: then the fours. But I would I would maybe attack
Speaker 3: the K market on Merle Kelly as well. Merle.
Speaker 2: All right, let's move on to some dfs again. Pay
Speaker 2: close attention to the weather right now. On DK, you
Speaker 2: got Kevin Gosman at the ten k, Shane Bieber on
Speaker 2: DK's eight point seven. Sure's is expensive, two is at
Speaker 2: ten five. Lower's at ten to three. So it is
Speaker 2: a really heavy pitching night. So if you want to
Speaker 2: go a little different here in tournaments, Logan Gilbert it's
Speaker 2: nine to two. Alex Cobb is just eight point four.
Speaker 2: That might be a nice second pairing. You can get
Speaker 2: him and Bieber together. I know Bieber's a little bit
Speaker 2: more of an oppo play, but these big arms tonight,
Speaker 2: if you're playing in tournaments, you might want to do that.
Speaker 2: If you're doing cash, Eric Lower, Schurzer Gossman doesn't get
Speaker 2: better than that. But the problem is on DK tonight
Speaker 2: there's not a lot of good discounted bats. That's the problem.
Speaker 2: On Fandel, schurs Are and Gosman are over ten k,
Speaker 2: Bieber's at nine eight, Lowers is at nine to five.
Speaker 2: On contras at nine, Logan gilberts at nine to three.
Speaker 2: Alex Cobb is at eight two. So the way I
Speaker 2: attack this with the single ones is I would go
Speaker 2: up for Gosman or Schurezer in cash. If you want
Speaker 2: to go get a little crazier, you can go in tournaments,
Speaker 2: you know, skim a thousand bucks off and go with
Speaker 2: somebody like Logan Gilbert or even two thousand and Alex
Speaker 2: Cobb and hope that that hits, and hope that some
Speaker 2: of your hitters hit, and some of the hitters we
Speaker 2: want to hit. Milwaukee Brewers, the New York Mets, Houston Astros,
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Angels. Those are my four favorite stacks of
Speaker 2: the night. As I told you on DK, not a
Speaker 2: lot of quarter not a lot of cheap bats. Jared
Speaker 2: Walsh is three point seven. He's a bit of a
Speaker 2: value Mark Conna in the Mets lineup if they play
Speaker 2: two point eight, Brandon marsh On FanDuel two point eight.
Speaker 2: I know he's had a lot of strikeouts, but I
Speaker 2: like the matchup tonight. Walsh two point nine, Gili guriell
Speaker 2: is at two point seven, Andrew mccutch and two point eight,
Speaker 2: and Tom Smith if Mets plays at two point one.
Speaker 2: So that's kind of like Tom Smith is that perfect
Speaker 2: guy to get in the lineup if he's in the
Speaker 2: lineup tonight, to help you get to the ten k Like,
Speaker 2: that's the kind of dude you need. You might need
Speaker 2: more than one of them, all right. So I have
Speaker 2: bounced back after a terrible April. Hopefully you bought low
Speaker 2: on Joey pa because I bounced back. In the home
Speaker 2: run race, I'm up to three. Welsh, you're at three
Speaker 2: as well. I believe now at four four you're a four.
Speaker 2: Boggin's at two or three.
Speaker 3: Actually, I don't know what he's at. I'm at four,
Speaker 3: you're at three. What is Mayor at like three or four?
Speaker 2: I think Mayor is around there too, But I'm gonna
Speaker 2: go pass him this weekend with Jordan Alvarez. He's my
Speaker 2: guy for the weekend. Let's go Jordan. He's been on fire.
Speaker 2: I want that to continue. Got a nice weekend series
Speaker 2: against that Tiger pitching. Oh yeah, let's go, baby. Give
Speaker 2: me Jordan Alvarez. Who you got for Friday or in
Speaker 2: perpetuity for the weekend.
Speaker 3: I was gonna tell you I actually was gonna take
Speaker 3: Jordan Valvarez. I was going through the list. I didn't
Speaker 3: look at who you had, and I didn't pull a
Speaker 3: Mike Mayer and just take him also and just take
Speaker 3: him for the entire weekend like you and just you know,
Speaker 3: your coilts there. But well, I mean we both didn't hit,
Speaker 3: so it didn't really actually matter. So I really liked
Speaker 3: Jordan Alvarez one. I told you on the total basis,
Speaker 3: I like Louis Robert. I'm gonna go with Louise Robert
Speaker 3: and I'll take him through the weekend. I think it's
Speaker 3: a good strategy when we go Friday through Sunday. If
Speaker 3: you can take a guy big bop in bat, you know,
Speaker 3: taking one of the bigger names works. And I'm gonna
Speaker 3: go with mister Luis Roberts.
Speaker 2: All right, So question for you. I already pick him
Speaker 2: up in my home league and some other places, which
Speaker 2: have you know, dynasty keeper implications. Max Meyer, You've been
Speaker 2: a very big fan of absolutely, and I just want
Speaker 2: to point this out. I know that the pitching has
Speaker 2: been pretty good for the Marlins, but so far this year,
Speaker 2: I want to run the stat line by you. Five
Speaker 2: games so far, he's got a one to seven to
Speaker 2: one ERA, twenty six innings pitched, fifteen hits. It's giving
Speaker 2: up zero home runs, zero home run so far. Just
Speaker 2: throwing that out there. Thirty three strikeouts, six walks.
Speaker 3: And I want to throw this out of the well.
Speaker 3: Two strikeouts, two games or maybe even three. He has
Speaker 3: struck out Ronald Dacunya and Joan Mancata on rehab stints.
Speaker 3: Max Meyer has in those five starts, so just throw
Speaker 3: out some professional MLB hitters that have been in there.
Speaker 2: To me, he is the of all these guys that
Speaker 2: are going to get picked up this week right, people
Speaker 2: are gonna be chasing Duran Royce Lewis if he's out there.
Speaker 2: This is the perfect weekend to pick him up because
Speaker 2: everybody is completely overwrought and completely Oh look which the
Speaker 2: new toy coming up and you make a lot of
Speaker 2: points on a lot of the guys. I'm not saying
Speaker 2: you can't pick them up, but this is the perfect
Speaker 2: weekend to slip this one through and see if you
Speaker 2: could just stash him on the bench and wait a
Speaker 2: little while. Because this is at triple A, correct, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 2: this is I don't I don't.
Speaker 3: Think it's very long that you're gonna be waiting on
Speaker 3: Maximint Like I wait very long either. Yeah, this this
Speaker 3: is something I had been I brought up on the
Speaker 3: it Tail Monday Show like this would be.
Speaker 2: Rogers.
Speaker 3: Well, Hernandez is kind of the you know, even you know,
Speaker 3: your former dude Craignish had mentioned like, hey, Eliezer's got
Speaker 3: a he's got a thing with the Marlins. He'll be
Speaker 3: a decent pitcher. But they have a pitcher that they
Speaker 3: need to bring up now and it is Meyer. So
Speaker 3: Meyer is a guy that yes, all week I would
Speaker 3: have been picking up and I think comes up soon.
Speaker 3: One other to look for, and it's just rumors thrown around.
Speaker 3: But because of the Matt Brash situation, uh, George Kirby
Speaker 3: and I believe George Kirby might be scheduled to pitch today,
Speaker 3: So if he pitches today, it probably is going to
Speaker 3: to be moot. But there's some talk that George Kirby
Speaker 3: can maybe end up taking that spot for Matt Brash,
Speaker 3: who now looks like he's going to be a full
Speaker 3: time reliever, maybe not this first start, but coming soon.
Speaker 3: So if you've got you know, if you have the
Speaker 3: ability to kind of sit in hold for a little bit,
Speaker 3: Maximyer is the number one pitcher to pick up. Kirby
Speaker 3: would be the other one and both could be very
Speaker 3: very soon.
Speaker 2: It's amazing, you know, the victory lapping after that early
Speaker 2: what that first started Matt Brash that was going on
Speaker 2: on baseball Twitter. I mean, it's just guys base If
Speaker 2: you know anything about baseball, you have to like be
Speaker 2: happy when things are going well, but understand that they're
Speaker 2: especially with rookie pitchers, there's always going to be a window.
Speaker 2: But when you see a guy who's dominating like this
Speaker 2: and right now once again, you can get him for
Speaker 2: free because what's gonna happen, and Welsh's telling you, and
Speaker 2: I'm telling you the minute that news comes out and
Speaker 2: all of a sudden everybody's seeing those stats in front
Speaker 2: of them, they're gonna run to the waiver wire and
Speaker 2: spend a lot of fab to pick him up. You
Speaker 2: can have him probably for one dollar this weekend and
Speaker 2: just as and see what happens over the next month,
Speaker 2: because I think there's a good chance you're gonna see
Speaker 2: him in June.
Speaker 3: I really well, you know it's interesting with Mayor two.
Speaker 3: I have different perspectives of Mayor and Kirby may and you,
Speaker 3: Nolan Gorman and Nolan and people who listen to me
Speaker 3: know this, But I'd asked Nolan Gorman, like, who's the
Speaker 3: nastiest pitcher you face? This is last year, and he
Speaker 3: said Max Meyer. He's like, Max Mayor is the the
Speaker 3: nastiest dude that I have faced.
Speaker 2: Well, let's not call him Mayor because I want to
Speaker 2: I don't want to confuse quality with Mike mayor Max.
Speaker 2: Not put those two things.
Speaker 3: Max Myers sah, and he was like the nastiest guy.
Speaker 3: And I've seen personally so much of Kirby. Both of
Speaker 3: these guys actually had almost identical stat lines earlier in
Speaker 3: the year. This year, they're both big strikeout players, more
Speaker 3: command with Mayor. I like Max now and I think
Speaker 3: Max is within a two week window, and I think
Speaker 3: Kirby is within a month window. So those are great,
Speaker 3: great pitching comps to go with. It's a good prospect
Speaker 3: time right now. There's all these everybody but O'Neal Cruz
Speaker 3: is coming up. It's hilarious.
Speaker 2: Boy, the Pirates hate Annio Cruz also shout out to
Speaker 2: all the moms out there. Happy Mother's Day this weekend.
Speaker 2: Enjoy the time with your mom, or enjoy the time
Speaker 2: taking care of any moms out there. Do the right
Speaker 2: thing by the moms. Wellsh any final thoughts before we
Speaker 2: close things out today.
Speaker 3: Luis Robert Homers Byron Buxton Homer's I'm here for all
Speaker 3: of them. Shout out to all of the moms. I'm
