Speaker 1: Judge, jury and executioner. Let's play ball. Welcome in everybody
Speaker 1: to Fantasy Pros. This is leading off brought to you
Speaker 1: by bet MGM, the King of sports books, and today
Speaker 1: we're here. I'm here, the Welsh is.
Speaker 2: Here and that we made it.
Speaker 1: We made it, we did it. We started from the bottom.
Speaker 1: Now we're here seven thousand subscribers. Woo to the YouTube
Speaker 1: channel Fantasy Pros MLB. Thank you everyone for supporting the show.
Speaker 1: Thank you for supporting Chris myself, Bogman, even Mike Maher
Speaker 1: and Ryan whenever his voice heals enough boil Boy. I
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on with Ryan, he's been sick
Speaker 1: for weeks. I hopefully he's coming back soon. But thank
Speaker 1: you for supporting all of us here on the channel
Speaker 1: being part of the Peanuts and Cracker Jacks Welsh. We
Speaker 1: started this channel last year, I want to say, in January,
Speaker 1: and we're already up to thousand subscribers. It feels pretty good,
Speaker 1: baby feels yeah.
Speaker 2: And and wasn't the number down a little bit at
Speaker 2: the start of this season as well. I feel like
Speaker 2: we've done some pretty good movements since uh yeah, we
Speaker 2: kicked up.
Speaker 1: We've we've added over two thousand since we started this.
Speaker 1: That's what I was.
Speaker 2: I didn't want to say that number, but I thought
Speaker 2: it was around five thousand, right around when we came on.
Speaker 2: But so everybody knows. We legit might not have been
Speaker 2: on today. I meant it.
Speaker 1: We were.
Speaker 2: We were grand standing. We were not coming on unless
Speaker 2: we got to seven k. But we did so good
Speaker 2: on everybody there.
Speaker 1: You go, good on the crew here, and we've got
Speaker 1: a lot of baseball to talk about, and let's just
Speaker 1: kick things off here. Let's start with Joey p getting
Speaker 1: two more home runs. Yes, that's the thing right there,
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge homering not once, but twice. So there you go.
Speaker 1: I am up to eight, I am getting.
Speaker 2: Clo're right behind me. You're right behind him. Nine, you're
Speaker 2: nodding them at nine. You're at eight and mayor you know,
Speaker 2: he hit scope, so he's probably at eleven or twelve.
Speaker 1: I can't believe that he hit scope. And I knew.
Speaker 1: I knew as soon as I saw those numbers he
Speaker 1: threw out yesterday about Scope. I knew he was gonna
Speaker 1: pick him.
Speaker 2: It was the most it was the most system play
Speaker 2: of all time. Good on him, literally, you go look
Speaker 2: at BVP batter versus pitcher and the number one player
Speaker 2: yesterday with Jonathan Scope, he had more homers, double the
Speaker 2: homers than any other person had. It was the most
Speaker 2: system play and it worked to a t. Good on
Speaker 2: Mayor Bot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, good on Mayor Bot. And he's trolling me already.
Speaker 1: Eight home runs that's cute. Yeah, you got four more
Speaker 1: than me, and I had one in the entire month
Speaker 1: of April. So enough is enough with you. Also, yesterday, Goldschmidt,
Speaker 1: nobody's hotter than Paul Goldschmidt right now, walk off grand
Speaker 1: Slam of the tenth against the Blue Jays. Julio Rodriga
Speaker 1: is looking much better in the last few weeks. Stealing bases.
Speaker 1: He's all over the place.
Speaker 2: Still leads baseball bomb still I know baseball and stolen bases.
Speaker 2: It is May twenty fourth, and he is the leader
Speaker 2: in stolen bases, which I would have never guessed in
Speaker 2: my entire life. Crazy.
Speaker 1: Somebody asked me who do you have the most faith
Speaker 1: in stealing bases right now major League Baseball? And I
Speaker 1: said Julio because he's been so aggressive. He's been caught
Speaker 1: a few times, but he's had more attempts than anybody else.
Speaker 1: So this dude is out there like saying I'm a
Speaker 1: thirty thirty kind of talent. And if you've got this
Speaker 1: guy in the Dynasty League, you've got to just be
Speaker 1: loving life. And it's so funny to me because you
Speaker 1: see the talent and two years ago there's a big
Speaker 1: conversation you were either a Kelnic guy or Julio or
Speaker 1: and Rigez guy. The Welsh was clearly on the Julio side.
Speaker 1: I was definitively on the Julio side also, But it's
Speaker 1: so funny to me that two years ago that was
Speaker 1: a legitimate conversation because right now, I don't I feelk
Speaker 1: those guys could be further apart from each other.
Speaker 2: It looks so silly. Yeah, that's one of those things,
Speaker 2: you know, when you deal with prospects like I do,
Speaker 2: where sometimes you just got to like put your foot
Speaker 2: down on something and maybe the other side tells you
Speaker 2: the story, but you go with you know where you've
Speaker 2: been the whole time. You go with your gut, or
Speaker 2: you go with you know, maybe just the talent over
Speaker 2: the stats. And that was one of those situations because
Speaker 2: there was Kelnick versus Franco. There's Kelnick versus Julio, and
Speaker 2: the wide majority was kel Nick over both of those guys.
Speaker 2: And I was both of those guys over, specifically Julio
Speaker 2: pretty much since the beginning, because that guy is a special,
Speaker 2: special talent. He's going to be one of the faces
Speaker 2: of baseball. You know, we got Tatis, we got Acunia,
Speaker 2: we got soda. Julio is going to be in that
Speaker 2: He's going to be in that marker within probably the
Speaker 2: next year, year and a half. He will be one
Speaker 2: of those faces for sure.
Speaker 1: Pete Alonso homer again yesterday he drives in three runs?
Speaker 1: Is that Mets just pounded Alex Cobb? Boy, am I
Speaker 1: glad I traded Cobb in the first week of the season.
Speaker 1: That well, No, I felt real good.
Speaker 2: I know something fun. We were actually just I finally did.
Speaker 2: I'd been talking about this a little bit. I was doing.
Speaker 2: I'd mentioned on here Brandon Woodruff some split work of
Speaker 2: first through the third inning and then fourth through sixth inning.
Speaker 2: I remember on the last on the last il we
Speaker 2: just dropped. I did kind of an extended look at
Speaker 2: a bunch of different pitchers that were really, really interesting,
Speaker 2: and Alex Cobb was one of those guys where I
Speaker 2: believe I'm not fully remembering it, but I remember one
Speaker 2: thing he was in, like the top thirty I want
Speaker 2: to say, in first inning era or first through third
Speaker 2: inning era he had. This is before yesterday, the league
Speaker 2: worst era over eleven innings four through six. The guy
Speaker 2: cannot get through. There's a luck factor that's going into it,
Speaker 2: but it's also second time through the order. He's getting demolished.
Speaker 2: Worst era in qualified of course of pitchers in baseball
Speaker 2: innings four through six, And it showed up it would
Speaker 2: just happened. We talked about it, and it showed right
Speaker 2: back up that dude just keeps getting beat up.
Speaker 1: Question, Pete Alonzo keeps beating up opposing pitchers with de
Speaker 1: Gram out, with sures are out. Is there a narrative
Speaker 1: that you can potentially build, especially in the big market,
Speaker 1: for Pete Alonso over this next few months here to
Speaker 1: be an MVP candidate realistically, because I know he's in
Speaker 1: that wagering space as an MVP in the National League.
Speaker 1: But if you're thinking about it, if he does have
Speaker 1: the best season of his career and the Mets don't
Speaker 1: get those pictures back and they maintain this torrid pace
Speaker 1: that they're on. Is there a key Alonzo MVP R
Speaker 1: narrative that we should be paying attention to right now,
Speaker 1: or at least monitoring.
Speaker 2: I think monitoring is probably the good word. Soto is
Speaker 2: playing pretty under himself. Harper is you know the injury
Speaker 2: stuff that's kind of looming.
Speaker 1: He that's fifteen games under five hundred.
Speaker 2: I don't understand that. But if I don't know, if
Speaker 2: you're going through the big names, if you're going through
Speaker 2: the big names, also.
Speaker 1: Machado, Yeah, Harper is still in the universe. In that sphere,
Speaker 1: he's in the universe. Who else? And then outside of that,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the three Dodger guys all kind of
Speaker 1: cannibalize each other. I feel like a Lonzo kind of
Speaker 1: stands alone on the Mets, just like Machado right now
Speaker 1: is standing alone. But he's not going to stand alone
Speaker 1: forever when that these comes back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I kind of think, to be honest with you,
Speaker 2: I'm kind of a fade Machado going down the road
Speaker 2: here as far as MVP goes, So I would be
Speaker 2: looking a little bit for they're down. It'd be interesting
Speaker 2: to look at the odds right now. Alonzo is an
Speaker 2: interesting one to your point, Like I said this, what
Speaker 2: I said is just the other day, I think that
Speaker 2: team needs to make a trade for a starting pitcher
Speaker 2: and their offense has been pretty relatively horrid outside of Alonzo.
Speaker 2: That if they were to not make a trade and
Speaker 2: Alonso were to be a big piece over these next
Speaker 2: two months to hold them through, then the pitchers come back,
Speaker 2: and if he puts up numbers that are in line
Speaker 2: with whatever out there in l MVP's out there, yeah,
Speaker 2: you'd have to consider it. You totally have to consider it.
Speaker 2: I just don't know if he would get that fanfare
Speaker 2: as a first, first basement under.
Speaker 1: Huge media market, they're going to build a huge narrative.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of writers who vote in the New
Speaker 1: York area, and no matter who they acquire, the narrative
Speaker 1: will be this guy held it down while everybody around
Speaker 1: him got hurt. All the big time pitchers got hurt,
Speaker 1: and he held down this one man off. Like I'm
Speaker 1: just saying, it's what's worth at least monitoring right now
Speaker 1: where he's at, and we'll talk.
Speaker 2: You have the odds, Do you have the odds?
Speaker 1: I'll check them on betting pros while I look at
Speaker 1: these because these are some fun right here, because we
Speaker 1: have the pas and Crackerjacks are sounding off, Walkee Penguin says,
Speaker 1: I remember when this is just a baby podcast and
Speaker 1: we were excited about a thousand. They grow up so fast,
Speaker 1: and now it's seven case subscribers here. And then immediately
Speaker 1: she trolled us after saying I didn't know Manny Machado
Speaker 1: stopped playing baseball, so yues, I guess that's her feelings about.
Speaker 2: I mean, Manny's the guy I think maybe I'm a
Speaker 2: little bit.
Speaker 1: Manny's also not very liked universally.
Speaker 2: He's not very like. There's also something like it might
Speaker 2: be a little fresh in my brain. I was doing
Speaker 2: a little live betting yesterday and I had one of
Speaker 2: those moments where I had two teams and like, I
Speaker 2: think I'm gonna live bet these and then I didn't,
Speaker 2: and they immediately crushed and I would have crushed. So
Speaker 2: then I jumped in on the padres last night and
Speaker 2: Manny Machado was up with bases loaded, just needed a little,
Speaker 2: you know, a little dink there to get the game
Speaker 2: in and just completely and you saw him get fooled
Speaker 2: like I saw him just kind of get worked around
Speaker 2: the plate, and I was like, oh yeah, I got reminded, like,
Speaker 2: Manny is still Manny, is still that old Manny that
Speaker 2: I know. He's just been getting like a really lot
Speaker 2: of contact. Right now. He's up there, He's totally up there.
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I think he's gonna come back
Speaker 2: down there. So what do we got here? Alto is
Speaker 2: eleven to thirteen hundred, depending on the book.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I throw ten bucks on that. I
Speaker 1: throw ten bucks on that, and just watch it over
Speaker 1: the next few weeks and see where it goes, because
Speaker 1: one or two things are gonna happen. If you throw
Speaker 1: it in a place like FanDuel where you can cash
Speaker 1: out of it and things go better, you might make
Speaker 1: a little bit of money even if you don't believe
Speaker 1: in it, and turn that ten into twenty just for.
Speaker 2: Fine know what you can do.
Speaker 1: But if it goes, it goes more quickly. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be the same thing as Harper, where it could explode
Speaker 1: at a certain point and end up becoming a three
Speaker 1: to one before you know it. So that's an interesting thing.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's move on to other stuff. Here because
Speaker 1: we got a lot to do today. Tristan Mackenzie somehow
Speaker 1: held the Astros to one run over seven and can
Speaker 1: win man. Your boy Ramirez from the Cleveland Guardians just
Speaker 1: tremendous season so far, drives in four more stole base
Speaker 1: hunter renfro By the way goes to the MRI machine
Speaker 1: for the hamstring injury. They're missing a damis, they're missing
Speaker 1: renfro I know Corden Burns on the mound tonight. I
Speaker 1: think there's a little bit more volatility in that start
Speaker 1: maybe as you're investing in it tonight, because there's so
Speaker 1: many injuries going on to that Milwaukee offense. So maybe
Speaker 1: just something to keep in mind. Also, not just the
Speaker 1: only guy. Freddy Peralta goes to the IL Officially, we
Speaker 1: all knew that was happening yesterday. He's going to miss
Speaker 1: quote significant amount of time with the right shoulder injury.
Speaker 1: They say he's gonna come back, say no surgery. So
Speaker 1: in your mind, what are you preparing for Freddy Pearl
Speaker 1: to return? Looks like what date, Welsh, what's you're over
Speaker 1: under date?
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's late July, maybe August. When
Speaker 2: I hear that it could be worse. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 2: think this is not good. What's rough about it, too,
Speaker 2: is like what they've done with pitching. You know, Eric
Speaker 2: Lower's ascending, you know, into the rotation and being so
Speaker 2: good has given them, you know, just an arsenal of guys.
Speaker 2: But Woodrow's been a little bit wonky. Burns has had
Speaker 2: his little moments this year. They're not in a bad
Speaker 2: spot because, you know, take Praulta out, you bring Lauer up,
Speaker 2: you still got a great three man rotation that's going on.
Speaker 2: They've got some really good minor leaguers. Ethan Small probably
Speaker 2: someone they could bring up. It's not the worst thing
Speaker 2: in the world. Aaron Ashby probably takes that spot. So
Speaker 2: Aaron Ashby is a definite speculat to pick up right now.
Speaker 2: But I think this is gonna be significant to the point,
Speaker 2: wait for a little bit more information, but ten to
Speaker 2: twelve teams, if you're on an il crunch, this might
Speaker 2: be somebody that you can dump and redraft this year.
Speaker 1: That's tough. Also, watch the Cardinals closely because they've got
Speaker 1: some injuries. Also, they sent Dylan Carlson, Stephen Matt's, Alex
Speaker 1: Reyes all. You know, obviously Alex Ray is gonna have
Speaker 1: the Tommy John so he's done, and then you have
Speaker 1: Matt's and Carlson who will go to the AyL. So
Speaker 1: if I'm the Cardinals right now, you know you brought
Speaker 1: up Gorman, Libertore is gonna come back up. We'll see
Speaker 1: how his cholesterol sticks, how that test result is. But
Speaker 1: but more to the point, if I'm Saint Louis, I'm
Speaker 1: seeing the Brewers lose Peralta. I'm seeing the Brewers lose
Speaker 1: a couple of the bats to the I think this
Speaker 1: is an opportunit here for the Cardinals to be aggressive
Speaker 1: and adds more pieces, So just watch carefully if they
Speaker 1: do and make a move. Chris Bryant's gonna be reevalued
Speaker 1: with the back issue. Some good injury news though, to
Speaker 1: tease Fernando that is had some imaging done on his
Speaker 1: fracture left wrist on Monday. Those images came back clean,
Speaker 1: so he could begin swinging immediately and allow the padres
Speaker 1: to set a timetable for his return, So keep a
Speaker 1: close eye on that as well. Also bad news for
Speaker 1: the Padreso Clevenger back to the IL on Sunday with
Speaker 1: right TRICEP strain he made just three starts after coming
Speaker 1: back from Tommy John. What do you make of this?
Speaker 1: They just rush him back or or you know, the
Speaker 1: Clevenger situations maybe physically falling apart.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's a perpetual injury thing that's going on.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: The positive about it is it puts Mackenzie Gore back
Speaker 2: in the rotation. What that had done was kind of
Speaker 2: push Gore to you know, like I think he flipped
Speaker 2: with the Clevenger, like he followed up Clevenger in the start.
Speaker 2: It just kind of re establishes who's he's been amazing.
Speaker 2: He's been amazing this year, but Levee also wasn't fantastic
Speaker 2: when he returned, Like it didn't look like a dominant picture.
Speaker 2: He just looked like a picture. Returning guys coming back
Speaker 2: from pretty major injuries are usually a better bet the
Speaker 2: following season. So you know that's kind of associated with
Speaker 2: Tommy John. But next year would be the play.
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break in the action here to
Speaker 1: tell you about another sponsor today show, and that is
Speaker 1: Omaha Steaks, one of my favorite sponsors. I just got
Speaker 1: the big box of meat delivered to the house last week.

Speaker 1: for it, and they sent the giant box with the
Speaker 1: dry eyes.

Speaker 1: delicious baseball news. Shall we can we talk about this?
Speaker 1: Our boy Ario Cone tweeted this and of course Ariel
Speaker 1: loser Met fan like myself. Today is May twenty third,
Speaker 1: and the Mets have the largest Division lead in baseball
Speaker 1: at eight games. According to Fangrafts, they have an eighty
Speaker 1: nine percent chance of making the playoffs in twenty twenty two. Welsh,
Speaker 1: How upset am I going to be when they missed
Speaker 1: the playoffs? I mean same, It's like, why do you
Speaker 1: tweet these things? Ay?
Speaker 2: Why to tweet these It's that is one of those things.
Speaker 2: I am so anti. There's so many people out there
Speaker 2: that are like, you know, it's on a gambling thing.
Speaker 2: Oh this is a lock now, this is that in
Speaker 2: fantasy I got this league championship. I am so I'm
Speaker 2: maybe I'm I'm not superstitious, but I'm a little stitious,
Speaker 2: and that type of stuff is a huge no go
Speaker 2: for me because that is the death call to success
Speaker 2: and they are gonna be eight games out of the
Speaker 2: playoff run and out of that division in like a
Speaker 2: month and a half. Why would he do that?
Speaker 1: Why that's a good rapper name. By the way, little
Speaker 1: stitious little I'm pretty sure that was yeah. Uh and yesterday,
Speaker 1: you know we did that whole Every day in baseball
Speaker 1: is something you've never seen before? Right with that Machado stat, Well,
Speaker 1: I got two of them today, Garrett Cole. Last night
Speaker 1: was the first time in baseball history anybody had this
Speaker 1: exact line. Eight innings pitched, five earned runs, no walks,
Speaker 1: eleven k's and seven hits. Only baseball.
Speaker 2: It's the most ridiculous line of who's the person that's
Speaker 2: doing this? Who is this guy that's like, hey, this
Speaker 2: is never how by the way, I don't know, how
Speaker 2: is that never happened before?
Speaker 1: How was that? I don't know? Because I think eleven strikeouts,
Speaker 1: no walks usually doesn't yield five earned runs. And if
Speaker 1: you have five earned runs usually don't get to the
Speaker 1: eighth inning nowadays, so it's it's bizarre. Also, Paul Goschmidt
Speaker 1: during his fifteen game hitting streak twenty eight doubles, twelve
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, twenty it hits twelve doubles, five home runs,
Speaker 1: twenty two rbi. Since runs better than became an official
Speaker 1: stat in nineteen twenty, no other Major League Baseball player
Speaker 1: has reached all of those numbers over a fifteen game span,
Speaker 1: so that is also stunning. You know what I want?
Speaker 1: Love it? Every day? Something new?
Speaker 2: This is what I want? You want? I want a list.
Speaker 2: I want some tartlets right now. Actually, to be honest,
Speaker 2: right right now, dad wand tartletch. What I want is
Speaker 2: a sheet of the stats that have not hit. I
Speaker 2: don't want them to throw at me like, oh, this
Speaker 2: has never happened, Look at this one. I want to
Speaker 2: know now what has never happened so I can follow
Speaker 2: them so they're more important. I want someone to do
Speaker 2: that work. Give me the things that have not happened
Speaker 2: in baseball so we can try. That would be fun.
Speaker 2: Can somebody do that?
Speaker 1: Let's get let's make Mike Mayer do something useful. Maybe
Speaker 1: he could do it, all right, The mayor boy a question.
Speaker 1: This is from Ross zero five twenty seven. Did I
Speaker 1: mess up by trading Verlander for George Springer? Short answer yes,
Speaker 1: long answer yes. I don't understand why people ask us
Speaker 1: after the trades happened. Typically, we can't help you after
Speaker 1: the trade. You see if you make the trade.
Speaker 2: Or they don't want help. They just don't want validation.
Speaker 1: They just want approval.
Speaker 2: Yeah, validator.
Speaker 1: Validation is not blindly give people approval. That's not my
Speaker 1: place here.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, did you just join fantasy sports? That
Speaker 2: half of everything that I see in this world? If
Speaker 2: fantasy is validation in what whether it's can I do this?
Speaker 2: Should I have done this? Did I win? Will I win?
Speaker 2: It's validation and a lot is after the fact, and
Speaker 2: I don't think it's helped people.
Speaker 1: This is what discord is. For sure. People come in
Speaker 1: there my ama all day. People ask me questions before
Speaker 1: the and I always say this. Sometimes they asked me after.
Speaker 1: I'm like, what good am I now? Because if I
Speaker 1: say I'm all you gonna do is gonna be more
Speaker 1: miserable about all this.
Speaker 2: Ross just made it worse though he said it's also
Speaker 2: a points league, so I was actually about to defend.
Speaker 2: I was just about to defend. I know, I was
Speaker 2: about to defend and be like, hey, listen, it's not
Speaker 2: a great it's kind of a loss, but it's not
Speaker 2: as bad. But then when he said it's a points league, that's.
Speaker 1: What are we doing here? Ross? I love you.
Speaker 2: Come on, you need an outfield trade, Joe, you needed
Speaker 2: an outfielder.
Speaker 1: I don't care. Well, good, you'll have to have George
Speaker 1: Springer for fifteen games at some point before he gets
Speaker 1: hurt of it.
Speaker 2: You can't anytime. It's a pit like even if it's
Speaker 2: an even trader a little bit sighted. It is so
Speaker 2: dramatically to the picture in points it's not even funny.
Speaker 2: And unfortunately, Berlanders like one of the best in baseball
Speaker 2: right now and healthy.
Speaker 1: I'm getting trolled here again. Here's a stat. Joey P's
Speaker 1: never won the leading off home run contest. Ha, yeah, great,
Speaker 1: all right, let's move on here this day in baseball trivia,
Speaker 1: who holds the Mariners record for most home runs by
Speaker 1: a rookie? Uh? For the Seattle Mariners. We talked about
Speaker 1: how good your boy's been. Julia Rodriguez. If anybody knows
Speaker 1: this name from I'll give you a hint. It's from
Speaker 1: the eighties. From the eighties. I actually this is would
Speaker 1: have been if you told me from the eighties. I
Speaker 1: think I would have gotten this. I know because I'm
Speaker 1: a little way Yeah, I mean that of useless information.
Speaker 1: Have we not found this out about me when it
Speaker 1: comes to trivia A specially stupid baseball things. This is
Speaker 1: and Ross, Ross, you're making up worse, he says, I'm
Speaker 1: stacked and starting pitching burns to gram and soroca. We're
Speaker 1: getting I see one picture there.
Speaker 2: We're getting cotrolled. Now, Joe, this is a this is
Speaker 2: a troll job. This is a job like I also
Speaker 2: just traded. I traded for sure, I got a Yeah.
Speaker 2: Now this is a troll job.
Speaker 1: Come on stop it, Ross, All right, let's go to
Speaker 1: the stat heroes from the night and if you got
Speaker 1: the answer to the trivia question, just pop it in
Speaker 1: there again. Who's the all time UH rookie single season
Speaker 1: record for Mariner's home runs. It'll surprise you. That's the
Speaker 1: fun part. That was not a rod. It's not Griffy,
Speaker 1: it's not those guys, so, which is why it's fun.
Speaker 1: And everybody would just go to that. All right, here
Speaker 1: we go stat Heroes of the night last night Tyler Anderson, Boy,
Speaker 1: was he good? And I was a little worried about
Speaker 1: him because he was working the forearm, and you know, oh,
Speaker 1: here we go, he's gonna throw eight innings and we're
Speaker 1: never gonna see him again. Here we go. But eight
Speaker 1: k's over eight squirrels innings. He was brilliant. Five hits
Speaker 1: over there. He would have had the Quek game shout out.
Speaker 1: But nobody goes nine. McKenzie were talking about being great.
Speaker 1: Houser was terrific. One earned over six. Zach Wheeler, you
Speaker 1: were worried, not so much. Ten k's to earn six
Speaker 1: and two thirds, boy l boy. Zach Wheeler has gotten
Speaker 1: back on track. And remember we said yesterday I have
Speaker 1: a lineup with Cobb, have a lineup with Peterson. Well,
Speaker 1: the Cob lineup destroyed you. But the Peterson lineup was good.
Speaker 1: Six innings, six strikeouts, and the Mets are going to
Speaker 1: continue to need guys like that to make contributions. Aaron
Speaker 1: Judge two home runs yesterday, Welsh's favorite guy the world,
Speaker 1: aristatas A kino at two home runs, Ian Hap hit
Speaker 1: a home run, Alonso went home run not special JD.
Speaker 1: Davis was four for five. He had a special night,
Speaker 1: but he's still not special. Jeff McNeil continues to be
Speaker 1: a big contributor across the board. A home run is
Speaker 1: stolen base two for four, Max Kepler, Peven Smith went
Speaker 1: and Maryfield all went yard. Also, in fact, three of
Speaker 1: the first four guys last night for the Kansas City
Speaker 1: Royals all went yard.
Speaker 2: So that was a That was Bobby Wit and Bobby Wood.
Speaker 2: I think his his fifth home run of the season.
Speaker 2: You know, Julio has this. Julio definitely has a like
Speaker 2: walking away with the Rookie of the Year odds kind
Speaker 2: of right now. But Bobby Wood's coming. That Ale race
Speaker 2: is insane. Last time I looked, it was Jeremy Paanea
Speaker 2: at one, at like two fifty, Julio at three, and
Speaker 2: then it was Joe Ryan around six hundred, and Bobby
Speaker 2: Witt I think was five. I want to say that
Speaker 2: was like the top four or something like that. It's
Speaker 2: an incredible race right now, honestly.
Speaker 1: And I'm invested in Wit and Julio and after a
Speaker 1: dismal dismbel April, I have not touched it. I could
Speaker 1: have cashed out of it. I could have said, now,
Speaker 1: let's never go no, no, you have to be disciplined
Speaker 1: with Rookie of the Year. You have to wait, you have
Speaker 1: to be patient, trying to see where I got. I
Speaker 1: got Bobby Wit at two and a half, which I
Speaker 1: should probably double down on now. Uh, And I got
Speaker 1: Julio at five and a half. So that's the one. Well,
Speaker 1: look even I think either fifteen bucks on it, so
Speaker 1: I'm gonna win a hundred on that. So yeah, that's
Speaker 1: called a good investment. If that, I guess maybe now
Speaker 1: is the time to start doubling down on some of
Speaker 1: these as well. Maybe you make a good point there.
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to the zeros. The zero,
Speaker 1: Zach Grank seven earned runs. I'm not sure if Zach
Speaker 1: Greenki is still pitching in the major leagues, like he's
Speaker 1: out there every fifth day, but it's it's weird. It's
Speaker 1: becoming like Jamie moyer ish but with like less success.
Speaker 1: Tucker Davidson five earned in two and two thirds. Marco
Speaker 1: Gonzalez gave a five earned. He was terrible. Cobb was
Speaker 1: a nightmare. Nick Senzel remember when he was supposed to
Speaker 1: be good? Oh for five three? K is Ryan Mountcastle
Speaker 1: favorite Guy Oh for four to three k's Dylan Moore,
Speaker 1: Oh for four three, k's over five club Here we
Speaker 1: go ready, Ronald Acunya, Bobashet, Nick Casios, Robbie Grossman, Taskar
Speaker 1: Dandez Sheldon Noisy and Colton long All oh for five
Speaker 1: and no change at the top. Here to the home
Speaker 1: runs well. But like I said, uh, if you look
Speaker 1: at the board, I King of the North still at
Speaker 1: the top with sixteen, still doing pretty well. Mike Mayor
Speaker 1: is getting very close. Mike Mayor is actually tied for twelve.
Speaker 1: But as you see on our YouTube channel, we won't
Speaker 1: let him on the graphic, which I think is.
Speaker 2: So close, like it is bad, Like he is right
Speaker 2: there and he's about to get on. We have to
Speaker 2: we got to do something, Joe. We got to get
Speaker 2: bigger on.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm doing my part. I got too last time
Speaker 1: nine I was. Let's get to the betting world. Thanks

Speaker 1: All right? It was it you who hate Seinfelder Bond.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't hate Seinfeld, maybe blasphemous. I never watched it.
Speaker 2: I never found it funny, So yeah, that was me.
Speaker 1: Get out, all right. Remember yesterday when we couldn't find
Speaker 1: any picture prosperly light? Not today?
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I want to point out though, yesterday though,
Speaker 2: the one I did, the one I picked out Miles
Speaker 2: Mchal Oh yeah you did. Didn't look that great. He
Speaker 2: got it in like the third inning. He hit the
Speaker 2: five K marker. So just pointing that one out for everybody.
Speaker 1: George Kirby four and a half on bed MGM is
Speaker 1: the strikeout prop. Fantasy pros has him at nine against Oakland.
Speaker 1: So just throwing that out there. Nine two and a
Speaker 1: half they have at nine is the projection right now.
Speaker 1: I mean they've been a huge Well, look that that
Speaker 1: Oapen lineup is spotty to say.
Speaker 2: At least Kirby's a little spotty out right now, though,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you, I actually you got a couple.
Speaker 1: Four and a half seems reasonable though, Like I think
Speaker 1: you could hit four and a half at plus one
Speaker 1: twelve it could.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna just be open and say I don't like
Speaker 2: these Kirby ones, but I like the Actually the other
Speaker 2: one next one is contrary to the strikeout one. I
Speaker 2: actually kind of like that one.
Speaker 1: Well, the next one we have too is Shane McClanahan,
Speaker 1: which the number on bet MGM is seven and a half. Well,
Speaker 1: they earned run prop for Kirby is two and a half.
Speaker 1: So if you want to go over under on that,
Speaker 1: you got the plus one fifteen the juice there. But
Speaker 1: Shane McClanahan seven and a half now, he's been fantastic.
Speaker 1: Fantasy pros actually has him projected lower. He is facing
Speaker 1: Miami tonight. I would go over the seven he's been
Speaker 1: that dominant is at plus one fourteen, but the under
Speaker 1: is where we're pushing you. What are your thoughts? This
Speaker 1: one was divisive for me.
Speaker 2: No, I completely agree with you. Actually, I told myself
Speaker 2: because there's a couple of things that I do is,
Speaker 2: at least I'm finding is you attack the braves, you
Speaker 2: attack the Diamondbacks, and you take Shane McClanahan k props.
Speaker 2: That's what you do. But I walked into the this morning,
Speaker 2: actually it was late last night, going I want seven
Speaker 2: and if I can get seven and a half, I'll
Speaker 2: take it. DraftKings was at eight and a half already
Speaker 2: they're pushing eight and a half on plus money, which
Speaker 2: I don't like. This is one, especially with this Marlins team,
Speaker 2: I think I would go with the over. I don't
Speaker 2: know how confident I feel, because I think there's some
Speaker 2: other good ones on the board, but the big monster
Speaker 2: K guys they're working and McClanahan is kind of like
Speaker 2: no other So I'm not like definitive over. But I
Speaker 2: like the over better like the under, So to me,
Speaker 2: that says I probably just avoid this one.
Speaker 1: You get plus money for Aaron Joe, which total bases
Speaker 1: one and a half at plus one oh four. Also
Speaker 1: plus one a ten over a Mike Trout at one
Speaker 1: and a half as well against Texas and Dane Dunning.
Speaker 1: So Judge and Trout both at plus money on the
Speaker 1: one and a half, I'm taking that. I'm sorry, what
Speaker 1: else you have your eye on, because I know I
Speaker 1: love talking about to that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I've really put my focus into K props.
Speaker 2: If I were to go into hitting, I kind of
Speaker 2: like to parlay and maybe go with single ones. Total
Speaker 2: base is the other play that I'm going to do.
Speaker 2: I just don't do it that often. I love the
Speaker 2: Judge and Trout one. They may not always work, but
Speaker 2: those are one Just take them, especially Judge at this
Speaker 2: point like more often than not. You bet you know ten,
Speaker 2: you're probably gonna have a sixty to seventy percent return
Speaker 2: ratio with Judge and how he is. The two K
Speaker 2: props that I'm kind of focused on right now. One
Speaker 2: is attacking the braves and it's Kyle Gibson. Kyle Gibson,
Speaker 2: He's been a little bit wonky on overall strikeouts on
Speaker 2: the year, but he hit this marker, doubled it in
Speaker 2: his last start, and it's at four and a half
Speaker 2: minus one thirty four on FanDuel against one of the
Speaker 2: umber one strikeout teams in baseball. The Braves just give
Speaker 2: those strikeouts up. I love that one and I'm betting it.
Speaker 2: And I also kind of like the Corbyn Burns one
Speaker 2: six and a half minus one thirty six on FanDuel
Speaker 2: as well. That's just another one when you're you know,
Speaker 2: you're looking at some of these guys that continuously get
Speaker 2: those big K props. I mean, obviously McClanahan is the
Speaker 2: better pitcher, and I was tempted on a few other spots,
Speaker 2: but San Diego has been kind of a strikeout haven
Speaker 2: as well, so they didn't look as clean as they
Speaker 2: could have last night when I watched them. So Burns
Speaker 2: and Kyle Gibson are my two faves for today.
Speaker 1: Congratulations to Jonathan Alvin Davis there it is Alvin Davis
Speaker 1: is the correct answer. Great mustache back in the day
Speaker 1: for the Seattle Mariners where they used to have the
Speaker 1: the Trident on the on the m. I love the
Speaker 1: Trident logo.
Speaker 2: It's so good, Trient so good.
Speaker 1: Yes, I would want to as a good trident. I
Speaker 1: have white went over here in my office.
Speaker 2: I was about to say, I would say if I
Speaker 2: know if there's a person has a weapon their owns
Speaker 2: try it, it would one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: Do you there are swords downstairs in a garage?
Speaker 2: How many swords do you? Okay, hold on? Hold on,
Speaker 2: hold on, Donna DNS or done, sir dohn sry if
Speaker 2: I set let's put this on betting pros. I set
Speaker 2: the over under a four and a half on swords,
Speaker 2: you guys can bet. I think the over is actually
Speaker 2: plus one oh five, and I think the under is
Speaker 2: minus one twenty. Those are the odds that people get
Speaker 2: to bed on the sword.
Speaker 1: Or reveal the answer later in the week. Alvin Davis
Speaker 1: twenty seven home runs in nineteen eighty four. By the way,
Speaker 1: and here's another one too. JP agrees with you about
Speaker 1: the Seinfeld thing, which obviously you're both wrong. But do
Speaker 1: you like Curb your Enthusiasm? Did you ever watch that show?
Speaker 2: I didn't watch it. I got no problem with it.
Speaker 2: There's lots of those shows I don't see.
Speaker 1: Imagine you would like it because he was He's miserable,
Speaker 1: and every little tiny minutia he takes into, he takes
Speaker 1: it so personally it then dominates his life for the
Speaker 1: next week. And I feel like you would love that.
Speaker 2: But see, you know what though it might be a
Speaker 2: little too close to home, you know, like you know,
Speaker 2: like you don't always get along with people like I
Speaker 2: have people in some people out that are just like me,
Speaker 2: but I don't do tons of stuff with them because
Speaker 2: they're too much like me. I have no problem with Curb.
Speaker 2: I would watch it. I have not watched it. There
Speaker 2: was just something about Seinfeld that I just it wasn't
Speaker 2: my time, it wasn't my humor at that time, and
Speaker 2: it doesn't really there's moments I guess that holds up.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm not a kid.
Speaker 1: That's fine, Well, that's fine tonight on the DFS slate
Speaker 1: on DK you got Max Freed at nine to one,
Speaker 1: Gosspan at nine to five, Framber always the color of
Speaker 1: my energy. Eight point two is a very good value
Speaker 1: if I'm going to pair two people together, I like
Speaker 1: the value of pairing Framber with Dylan c Se at
Speaker 1: nine point eight. That's kind of like where I want
Speaker 1: to live in those two Burns is very expensive. And
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, like there's a scenario where
Speaker 1: Burns doesn't get the Winny pitches great and the offense
Speaker 1: does nothing absolutely. I'm just saying it's got more outcomes
Speaker 1: that you might realize from a normal Cormyn Burns night.
Speaker 1: I would rather play him and when in tournaments than
Speaker 1: in cash tonight, because of what's going on with that
Speaker 1: offense and how many people are missing out of it
Speaker 1: right now. On Fandel where you just get the one pitcher.
Speaker 1: I would look at Chris Bassett at night, even though
Speaker 1: he's ten k, he's been outstanding. Same thing, Corbin Burns
Speaker 1: at ten six super expensive. I would rather pivot off.
Speaker 1: Dylan Sees at nine to six is right where he
Speaker 1: should be. I like him more than Franbervaldez more strikeout
Speaker 1: potential for Ceas typically speaking gospel is nine to four.
Speaker 1: I would do Gosmin. I would do Cease, and because
Speaker 1: they're so close, just keep trading them out. Do three lineups.
Speaker 1: Have a Cease lineup, have a Frameburg I really want
Speaker 1: to be different, and a Gosman lineup and just see
Speaker 1: what happens in terms of lineup builders tonight, Julio on DK,
Speaker 1: he's just still three point five. We told you yesterday
Speaker 1: he was cheap, he went yard, he was great last night.
Speaker 1: Go back to the well again three point five. Brandon
Speaker 1: Marsh's three point three. He's got a good matchup. Adam
Speaker 1: Duval is just two point five on DK on fandel
Speaker 1: Alec Thomas is two eight. Adam Fraser at the top
Speaker 1: of the Seattle lineup two seven. Marcus Simeon is all
Speaker 1: the way down to two point five. Start buying in there.
Speaker 1: Trevor Larnick is at two k flat on FANDUL free
Speaker 1: square if he plays tonight, and Glaber Torres is two
Speaker 1: point seven. I'm going with Luis Robert tonight for my
Speaker 1: home run call. That's where I want to go. Welsh,
Speaker 1: who's going yard for you?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna play a little bit of analytical game. I
Speaker 2: am gonna go with Matt Olsen tonight up against my
Speaker 2: guy Kyle Gibson, who I'm putting in on the strikeouts.
Speaker 2: He's got a very very good career against him, eight
Speaker 2: for sixteen, three homers. Throw a double in there as well,
Speaker 2: not big strikeouts. There's only three strikeouts in the sixteen
Speaker 2: plate appearances. So this is a good matchup. Lefty righting.
Speaker 2: Matt Olsen is my home run call for tonight.
Speaker 1: Mike Mayer's got Mike trout so after going uh, Jonathan scope,
Speaker 1: he went scrub and that was going star.
Speaker 2: So sure it's working for him.
Speaker 1: It's working for him. Also, the truth passes you must
Speaker 1: be a nine to two one over.
Speaker 2: I know I saw that earlier and I started laughing
Speaker 2: or not that it was more of an aquitine hunger
Speaker 2: for us. I think was see that's where Welsh lives.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, look a reminder, everybody, make sure you
Speaker 1: go get the Dad Love Steaks package over at Omaha
Speaker 1: Steaks dot Com again. Use that promo code leading off
