I want to know 55 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: what your favorite bets are going into the season for MLB. 56 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,679 Speaker 1: Let's start with the big one for MVP and Matt. 57 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 1: The National League is tricky because the National League has 58 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: a lot of great players who are on the same teams. 59 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: It feels like old school NBA from the two thousands 60 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: the twenty tens, where you get these super teams. Right, 61 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: We've got Sodo and you've got Tatisse and Machada all 62 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: on the padres together. You got all the Braves guys 63 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,399 Speaker 1: together with you know, Akunya and some of the talent 64 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: on that team. You got the guys who are on 65 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Dodgers, with Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts, 66 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: and that always becomes a difficult thing. I know, you 67 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: and I talk about that. So is there a lone 68 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: wolf when you look at the MVP market? That makes 69 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: sense because right now at the top, Juan Soto is 70 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: there plus five fifty, which is fascinating. I don't know 71 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: why he is necessarily at the top, as much as 72 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: I love won Soto. Mookie Betts at plus nine fifty. 73 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: Then you've got Akunya Tatis at ten to one, Trey 74 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: Turner plus eleven hundred, and then as you go down 75 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: you get Aaronato, Machado, Freeman and of course gold Schmid, 76 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: Austin Riley. So how are you looking at NLMVP this year? 77 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,959 Speaker 1: Because last year it was very tricky as well. 78 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, but it was great in your setup because you 79 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:24,959 Speaker 2: led me right into it. 80 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 3: And it's perfect journalism, even though that's a lost start, 81 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,679 Speaker 3: clear conversation for another time. Yeah, The thing about these 82 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 3: guys will vulture each other. Who stands out, who doesn't. 83 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 3: If you take a team like the Padres and there 84 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 3: at the top, you're gonna say, yeah, I expected that. 85 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 3: To whom can you give the credit? Well, you got 86 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 3: to give a hit Jos one hundred percent right. What 87 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 3: Sodo is for me is the decoy. He's the book 88 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 3: throwing out that public name or public team, that number. 89 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 3: But if you just remove the public and you remove down, 90 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 3: you go to Ronald Lacuna at ten to one. 91 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 2: That's another thing. You have to say, well, who can 92 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 2: vulture from him? 93 00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: Oh? 94 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 3: What if Riley's really hot, if reallyings a great bat, 95 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 3: let's go to Trey Turner eleven to one. According to 96 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 3: what you're saying, an injury just now to Reese Hoskins, Harper. 97 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 2: Maybe coming back in June. 98 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 3: If the Phillies can simply stay there until June or July, 99 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 3: and Trey Turner is a part of that, then Trey 100 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 3: Turner is the play for me. Based on those things, 101 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 3: why he doesn't really have anyone to vulture away from him, 102 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 3: the eyes or the votes until Harper comes along and 103 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 3: the conversation can still be had. Secondly, it's because of 104 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,799 Speaker 3: the where he sits in the odds. He's right smack 105 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 3: in the middle and what I'm looking. 106 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 2: At, I love it. 107 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: I agree one hundred percent. And last year your call. 108 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: We were very hesitant on National League. We said, let's 109 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: just let it play out, and Manny Machado was the 110 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: early favorite for a while there for the first couple 111 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: of months, and not once did we say to Bennett 112 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: because we said, look, it's a long season. It just 113 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: doesn't feel right and it didn't feel like it was 114 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: going to be sustained. And the narrative you can write 115 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: for Trey Turner again, these are media awards if he 116 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: can carry this team, and now he's going to really 117 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: have to. With Hoskins out too. A Turner at eleven 118 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: to one, that number could get cut in half by 119 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: Memorial Day. The other guy with her out there is 120 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: Pete Alonzo, who I think, once again is more of 121 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: a standalone guy in the Mets. If he can get 122 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: that home run total up in that high forties to 123 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: even fifty, to me, he's another guy that really pops potentially. 124 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: He's at plus sixteen hundred right now. While we're on 125 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: betting pros as well, let's go to the American League here, 126 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: and you know the easy bet is show Heo Tommy. 127 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: Last year, going into the season, Matt he was I 128 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,679 Speaker 1: think around plus three, plus three and a half somewhere 129 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: in that number. This year it's plus two twenty like. 130 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: That's where we're at right now for Sho Heo Toni, 131 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: and to me, the only I made an investment already, 132 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: No Tani, but the risk is if he gets traded 133 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: into the National League, then there goes this wager. So 134 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: Otani is the guy to beat. Nobody does what he does. 135 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: The only reason he didn't last year win that again 136 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 1: was because of Aaron Judge having a historic season as 137 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: a Yankee, breaking a home run record for the Yankees. 138 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 1: It was a very niche situation. Yes, so who can 139 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: be Otani if indeed there's an injury or if indeed 140 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: Otani ends up let's say mid season somewhere else, and 141 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: that somewhere else not being the American League. 142 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 3: Again, I have to believe that because you and I 143 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 3: have spent so much time together over the last four 144 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 3: or five years, we understand each other's way of thinking. 145 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 3: So you're almost getting my wheels going because it's logic, 146 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 3: and that's the header of my social media. It's logic 147 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 3: over emotion every time Otani, there is no one more dynamic, 148 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 3: no one more prolific. So barring something like a home 149 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 3: run record or a triple crown, Otani's the guy. But 150 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 3: those words prolific and dynamic can also fall to another 151 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 3: guy here, and it's Julio Rodriguez nine to one. So 152 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 3: why not if you're looking at in the future. You're 153 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 3: a wager, you know. Otani is what we call the 154 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 3: chalk and horse racing. 155 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 2: Fine, I get it. Throw something down on that. It's 156 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 2: the smart play. 157 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: It is. 158 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 3: You have to pay your mortgage, you have to pay 159 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 3: your bills, I get it. But gambling, it's called gambling 160 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 3: for a reason. 161 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 2: Do it smart. Julio is a great play. 162 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 3: Also, if you move down Jose Ramirez, let's see at 163 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,040 Speaker 3: sixteen to one, sixteen. 164 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 1: Fifth to one, depending on the book. Right now, those 165 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: are the two to me because you can write the 166 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: narrative of those guys carrying their teams. We both like 167 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: the Mariners this year. We love that rotation. We think 168 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: they're going more on the Marinders later. It's gonna be 169 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: a love letter to the Mariners. But Julio, you're getting 170 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: everywhere from seven to plus nine hundred for him on VP, 171 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: so I've already made that investment. I think I got 172 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: it at nine hundred to where I had it, and 173 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: the Josermier is a plus fifteen hundred typically right now 174 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: in betting pros. And that's another guy too, Matt. This 175 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: guy just doesn't get enough credit. I feel like, for 176 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: how good of a player he is and how much 177 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: he's done, he took the hometown discount, so I'm with you, 178 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: like American League MVP is far more I would say 179 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: the sexier of the two to bet right now, because 180 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: you have some legitimate, clear options. 181 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 3: And I would not discount if you really want to 182 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 3: get sexy again. A guy that may need to put 183 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 3: a team on his back should he be healthy, is 184 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker. 185 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 2: If you can catch. 186 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 3: Twenty five to one on Kyle Tucker right now before 187 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 3: the first of April, that's another ticket to hold on 188 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 3: to and see what. 189 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: Happens, especially if Alvarez has any injury to and Altuve 190 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: already going to miss time, so if Tucker carries that squad, 191 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: that's another great one. Let's talk about cy Young here, Matt. 192 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the guys at the top of the board. 193 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: Sandy al Contra, the reigning undefeated undisputed at plus five hundred, 194 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: same as Corbyn Burns. Justin Verlander coming off his al 195 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: Cy Young would be fun to win one in the 196 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: National League. He looks. I know it's the spring, but 197 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: the cliche is right. For Verlander, He's in the best 198 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: shape of his life. I've never seen Verlander look this 199 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: good physically plus seven hundred for him. Sure's are plus 200 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: eight hundred. The new rules really do favor these guys. 201 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: Would like to work fast, and Verlander and Sures are due. 202 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: Spencer Striders are plus one thousand. My only concern with 203 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,199 Speaker 1: Strider Matt is the innings. Is he going to get 204 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: enough of them to reach that. It's not a matter 205 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: of the quality, it's the quantity. Then he got Freed Nola, 206 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: who is very underrated plus thirteen, Zach Wheeler, Zach Gallon, 207 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,319 Speaker 1: and Woodruff. Zach Gallon at plus sixteen hundred is Mike 208 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: dark Horse. But it's really tough because the guys at 209 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: the top in this end in the National League are 210 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: very good. But how do you see this wagering market 211 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 1: for nlcyng. 212 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 3: So the first thing we have to do is put 213 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,079 Speaker 3: on our hats as to what we know versus what 214 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 3: we feel, and we do know, and you and I 215 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 3: talk about this often. 216 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 2: If this is a media award, this is a bit 217 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 2: more than just the numbers that we see. 218 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 3: So with that said, I can see a guy like 219 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 3: SHRS or a guy like Verlander just claiming the narrative 220 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 3: doing enough to wear Look at this. 221 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 2: This feels good, this feels right. 222 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 3: But again, if a team like the Phillies are still 223 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 3: there in July and Nola has pitched his hair on fire, 224 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,839 Speaker 3: there's a discussion to be had as far as the 225 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 3: gallons of the world and the Woodress of the world. Yeah, 226 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 3: you kind of strike out two hundred guys and win 227 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 3: twenty games, God bless you. It's something an anomaly needs 228 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 3: to happen. So that's why it's rough here for the nlcion. 229 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: In the American League. I actually like betting Otani for 230 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: Cy Young more than I like him for MVP, because 231 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: it's not Young. You're getting him at plus eleven hundred, 232 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: which I think is a great number, and you could 233 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: put a smaller unit on that. It's the usual suspects 234 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: at the top. Jacob de Gramint plus five point fifty. 235 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: Look you want to do that, knock yourself out, that's fine. 236 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,839 Speaker 1: But Garret Cole is a plus seven hundred, Dillan c 237 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: plus nine hundred. I don't like the Dylan ceas when 238 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be some regression there, Alec Manoa intriguing, 239 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,079 Speaker 1: Luis Castillo intriguing. Shane McClanahan, though, this is the one 240 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: where I keep landing on mac because he's at plus 241 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,319 Speaker 1: sixteen hundred right now, and he was right neck and 242 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: neck with Verlander all the way through the gas. But 243 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,959 Speaker 1: if you recall, he did run out of gas. But 244 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 1: I think it bears witness that at plus sixteen hundred, 245 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: at the very least, you put money on this, and 246 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: if he gets off to that same start again, you're 247 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 1: gonna come up positive money. You could cash out in 248 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 1: some spots on McClanahan. So I like McClanahan at the 249 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: plus sixteen hundred for the long shot. I like Otani 250 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,719 Speaker 1: in the middle of plus eleven hundred, And to be 251 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: honest with yeah, I think that's kind of the way 252 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: I'm approaching Cy Young right now because the American League, 253 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: somebody else might have to emerge. But what do you 254 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:58,199 Speaker 1: think about al Cy Young. 255 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 3: Right now, you would ask your self the question the narrative, 256 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 3: and I'm making it up. If the Blue Jays are 257 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 3: in the postseason, to whom are we saying the credit 258 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,079 Speaker 3: goes on the pitching side. 259 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 2: So that's something to consider. I don't think it. 260 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 3: God's been such a long shot. He just does not 261 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 3: He shouldn't be in the same sentence as Cy Young. 262 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 3: But then again, everything is changing. The game is changing, 263 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 3: the rules are changing, and that strikeout to walk ratio 264 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 3: is something that cannot be ignored. But if you look 265 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,719 Speaker 3: at a team like that, also look at a team 266 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 3: like Cleveland. I'm a big Shane Bieber guy. I know 267 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 3: the bloom has been off the rose, but this is 268 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 3: still a very good picture. It doesn't matter if people 269 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 3: aren't writing articles about him. He's still a very good pitcher. 270 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 3: So this is how I approach the American League. 271 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 1: All right, American League. I think Bieber is definitely in 272 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: that same vein almost as Jose Ramirez. Right. The Cleveland 273 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,839 Speaker 1: guys or just don't get any respect. They just go 274 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: out there every year and perform al Sai Young again 275 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: al MVP al Zai Young. Very interesting wagering markets there, 276 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,079 Speaker 1: Natural Leaguezai Young too. Don't forget about Zach Gallen. I 277 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: know if you look last year at the finish to 278 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: the season, Zach Gallen was right up there with the elites, 279 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: and I think you can make some cash there. Even 280 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: if he doesn't win the award, you can come out positive. 281 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 1: All right, Let's go to the next grouping here for 282 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year in the American League. Gunnar Henderson 283 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: is at the top of plus two forty and now 284 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: I already bet this. I think I got it at 285 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: plus four hundred when it opened up, Masatake Yoshida at 286 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: plus six hundred, Anthony Volpi at plus eight hundred, Grayson 287 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: Rodriguez at plus nine, same as Casses from the Boston 288 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 1: Red Sox, Christs and Cases, and then Josh Young, Hunter Brown, 289 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: Oscar Colos, and Oswald Perez kind of making up the 290 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: rest of this. So let's talk about the big dogs here. 291 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: Because Gunnar Henderson, the everyday player going to start with 292 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: the team. We know that he has a little bit 293 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: of an advantage, but the Vulpi buzz has been growing 294 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: substantially here. If he doesn't start with the team, even 295 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: if he gives you a good four months, can Volpi 296 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 1: be that guy at plus eight hundred, or do you 297 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: like Grayson Rodriguez or Gunnar Henderson one of the Orioles. 298 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 3: This is one of those things you can ignore, so 299 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 3: to what I've read as at Volpi has been informed 300 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 3: that he will be on on the roster for how 301 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 3: long that happens, I can't tell you. But if this 302 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 3: kid is up and he turns the city on its 303 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 3: ear and he becomes the darling, it's just it's his. 304 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 2: Just give it to him. 305 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 3: But I do want to caution people last year, and 306 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 3: it's I won't waste your time and say, do you 307 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,079 Speaker 3: know who was the chalk before the season for the 308 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 3: NL Rookie of the Year. 309 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 2: Do you mean it was the guy on on Chicago. 310 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 2: His name's going to elude me right now. 311 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 3: And then he heard warned everybody not to go after 312 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 3: right and he heard them, and then you just didn't 313 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 3: hear anything. 314 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 2: Again. I don't think that's gonna happen to guy gun 315 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 2: and I think he is the real deal. But Vulty 316 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 2: is sexy, Jong is sexy. 317 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 3: If Texas does anything at all, and if Hunter Brown 318 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,079 Speaker 3: is healthy and Houston stays where they should be, a 319 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 3: lot of people are gonna look at Hunter Brown and say, 320 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 3: who's that guy?

Miguel Vargus, 338 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: who's going to get more playing time potentially, it's very 339 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: personal player for the Dodgers, doesn't have a whole lot 340 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: to prove left in the minor leagues. At plus eight 341 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: to fifty is intriguing. Quote I sing is intriguing at 342 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: plus eight fifty. Ezekiel Tovar at plus one thousand, who's 343 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: gonna be the everyday short's out for the Rockies. This 344 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: is an incredible crop. And look, Jordan Walker deserves to 345 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: be probably at the top of it. I'm still going 346 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: with Corbyn Carroll, that's still my guy, but I could 347 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: see any of these five going through, and Tovar is 348 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: a fascinating one. After that, it gets a little hazy 349 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: for me. You get a couple of the other Met's prospects, 350 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: like Deady and Alvarez. But really I'm focusing on this 351 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: top grouping because this top five is very good and 352 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: you're getting some really good numbers. Everything is plus four 353 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: hundred all the way to plus one thousand. So is 354 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: there a favorite here for you in the National League version? 355 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 3: Well, it's funny, and it's not. Because you mentioned Tovar, 356 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 3: I think two or three times. There are a lot 357 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 3: of people are going to be all over him. The 358 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 3: Rocky's also signed Jurikisson Profar, who probably will lead off. Now, 359 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 3: Tovar was supposed to hit at the bottom, and then 360 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 3: if he gets his hit tool up a little bit, 361 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 3: come up to the top of the order, becomes a 362 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 3: much different conversation. But until that happens, temper expectations. Let's 363 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 3: move to a guy like Miguel Vargas, who if he 364 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 3: can show some patience. During spring training they didn't have 365 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 3: him swinging at all. He just went up there just 366 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 3: to look at pitches because of an injury. Now he's swinging. 367 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 3: If he can learn patients at the plate surrounded by 368 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 3: some of those hitters, learn from Freeman, learn from Bets. 369 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 3: The maturation of Vargus could be very fun to watch. 370 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 3: But I'm with you on Carol, one thousand percent. I 371 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 3: just believe his tools are far more developed than the rest. 372 00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 2: Of the guys here. 373 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 3: And if Walker is healthy, I'll have to rewind and 374 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 3: take my foot out of my mouth. As of right now, 375 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 3: is Corbin Carol. 376 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, Walker is a fascinating one, but Carol, you know 377 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: everyday player. They already locked him up there to that 378 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: one hundred million dollar extension. It just it feels like 379 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks know what they've got. So again, I was 380 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: just jumping on this right away, and I urge everybody 381 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: else jump with me on Corbyn Carroll. There. Everybody knows 382 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: who listens to our shows on the MLB channel how 383 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: much Welsh and I are into Corbyn Carroll. What's before 384 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: we hit the Division winners, World Series and all that stuff? 385 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: Just gonna go through some of our favorite over unders 386 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: going into the season. My favorite over right now is 387 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: to no one's surprised as Seattle Mariners, because look at 388 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: that Mariners pitching staff, and there's not a lot of 389 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: teams that are four deep, and I think they really are. 390 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: Between Castillo, Ray, Gilbert and Kirby, that's a really good 391 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: four rotation. I think the ti Oscar Hernandez move was 392 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: a very good one. I think the Colton wand move 393 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: was a sneaky good one too. And I think they've 394 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: got the pieces there to acquire another bat should they 395 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: need it. If Jared kell nick ever gets straight and 396 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: can carry over what he did in the spring or 397 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: what he's done at Triple A over to the big 398 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: league level, he would be the missing piece. Yes, but 399 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: I don't want to count on that necessarily because we've 400 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: been unfortunately let down more than once about it. However, 401 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: the Seattle team is where I'm going in the over. 402 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: Do you have any interesting overs that you like on 403 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,640 Speaker 1: any teams on some wind totals going into this year. 404 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I do, And I like that we use ifs. 405 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 2: We have to be careful with them. 406 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 3: And I've mentioned to you I watch a show that 407 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 3: uses a lot of good like folks, he turns or phrases. 408 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,360 Speaker 3: IF's were fifths, we'd all be drunk. Take some time 409 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 3: to think about it, because it is a sobering thought. Ironically, 410 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 3: I'm looking at teams that are going to be able 411 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 3: to benefit from the new rules. So I'm going to 412 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,199 Speaker 3: look at teams that are speedy, and I'm gonna look 413 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 3: at teams that are gonna be able to produce runs, 414 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 3: and I'm gonna look at teams that have some really 415 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 3: good pitching. 416 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 2: How about a team like Miami. Nobody is looking at 417 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 2: this team at all. I don't think they're gonna blow the. 418 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 3: Doors off, but sitting at seventy five and a half, 419 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 3: I definitely think this team can hit that over. And 420 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 3: in the same vein, I look at a team like 421 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,640 Speaker 3: the Chicago and you and I talked about Trey Mancini 422 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 3: is not done. This is a for lack of a 423 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 3: better turn professional baseball team. They are going to be 424 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 3: a lot better than they were last year. Weisnisky Steel Stroman. 425 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 3: These are guys that I think are going to really 426 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 3: be With regards to Stroman, he'll bounce back. Steele is 427 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 3: going to show you more than we showed you last year. 428 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 3: Withski has been really really good in this postseason. So 429 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 3: I'm looking at those teams as far as olivers. 430 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: To me, the biggest under on the board is the 431 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 1: Los Angeles Dodgers. I mean, I understand they've got Freddy 432 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: Freeman and Mookie bats and they're great players and their 433 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: MVP caliber talents. I get that, but they did lose 434 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: trade Turner. They look have a pitching exapt right now 435 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: that is led by Clayton Kershaw, who has made twenty 436 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 1: two starts two years in a row. And to be 437 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: that's not an ace pitcher. You can't have that happen. 438 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: Julio Urias is a very good pitcher. But after those 439 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: two guys, you have Tony Gonsolin, who's due for enormous 440 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 1: regression and starting the year off in the IL. You've 441 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: got Cindergard and Ginger Guard who I have no idea 442 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: how many Injur're gonna get out of either of them. 443 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 1: So unless Dodgers are pulling off some massive trades, and 444 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: they already had some injuries with Gavin Lux, so now 445 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 1: they're calling upon other players that might have been trade making. 446 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: Miguel Vargas would have been a trade piece, but now 447 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: he is a piece you gonna have to play more often. 448 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,159 Speaker 1: To me, I just don't see how the Dodgers get 449 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: to ninety six and a half. That's just to me 450 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 1: where I'm at with the Dodgers. Too many questions, and 451 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 1: not to mention, let's talk about the bullpen doo, which 452 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 1: I mean, who is the closer? Is it? Phillips? I 453 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: guess we shall see. 454 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 3: Well, the thing that Dodger fans will be shouting at 455 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 3: their screens right now and telling you that they have another. 456 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 2: Gavin and Gavin Stone and he's going to. 457 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 3: Fix all the pitching problems, and they're gonna be shouting 458 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 3: you and telling you that it's braised or gruderol. 459 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 2: If I'm butchering his name, I'm sorry. Who will be 460 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 2: the closer? And I get all that that's great if 461 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 2: if with fifths we'd all drunk and Joe is right? 462 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: How do you have? 463 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 3: How do you get the ninety six and a half wins? 464 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 3: How do they achieve it? Where's the pitching and where's 465 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 3: the bullpen? Even with the Stone the Grover of Roles 466 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 3: of the world, So they still get there. Now, balance 467 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 3: schedule definitely helps, I will say that, But look at 468 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 3: it from a logical perspective. We talk about bridge to saves, 469 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 3: when we talk about closers, how about the bridge to wins? 470 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 2: How does this team get to ninety seven? 471 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 1: I'm with you, I'll tell you what. I think that 472 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 1: this is one of the teams where the balance schedule 473 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 1: it hurts them because I'd rather be playing the Giants 474 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: and the Rockies and the Diamondbacks that going to play 475 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: the National League East. I mean, yeah, you're gonna play 476 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 1: some of those teams in the Central too, but National 477 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: League East is rough man. Those teams are going to 478 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 1: eat you for breakfast. I just I don't get it. 479 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: I don't see the pitching and Gofer. But there's an 480 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 1: injury to Kershaw again or anyone. And that's what I mean. Yeah, 481 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 1: and Max Munsey last year was a huge disappointment. Chris 482 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: Taylor has not hit at all this spuring like he like, 483 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: there's a couple guys that's starting to look washed. It's 484 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: a really slippery slope. Let's get to some of these 485 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: divisions too. Right now, the number for the American League Central. 486 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: We've got the Cleveland Guardians at plus one fifteen, the 487 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: Twinkies at plus one on eight plus eight one eight, 488 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: excuse me, and then. 489 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 2: There's gonna be a number there and plus one plus. 490 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 1: On Minnesota Twins that remember the hot lines when we were, 491 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: of course kidding me, that's all right. 492 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 2: Beat me with the phone when he got that first 493 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 2: bill and I never called it again. 494 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 1: Don't you call it a number, Maddie, What are you doing? 495 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: I don't know why your father sounds like that, but 496 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,640 Speaker 1: he does. Chicago White Sox plus three hundred is here, 497 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: and look, the Cleveland Guardians, very good team. I worry 498 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: a little bit about the length of the lineup sometime, 499 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: I worry about some of the back end of the 500 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 1: starting pitching. To me, it's the White Sox division to lose, 501 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: and I know this where I was last year and 502 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 1: they lost it. But with Lynn Giliito bouncing back and 503 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 1: having Dylan C's taking that huge step forward. Those are 504 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:49,719 Speaker 1: the three horses and then you just got to get 505 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: a Lloyd Jimenez and Louis Robert to play one hundred 506 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: and forty five games if that all happens. I love 507 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: this and plus three hundred to me, this is one 508 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 1: of the better division winners on the entire board as 509 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: far as I'm concerned. But how do you see the 510 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 1: Ale Central shaken out? 511 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 2: Four years ago? What you just said would have been 512 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 2: in lockstep with everybody else. 513 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 3: Here we are four years later and everyone has seen 514 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 3: to forget a lot of things have happened in that time. 515 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 2: The White Sox are the team one hundred percent. 516 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 3: They are the team that everyone thought they were supposed 517 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 3: to be four three, two years ago. 518 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 2: Here they come. 519 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 3: But Cleveland has something that no one else in the 520 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 3: league has, and it's their coach, the manager on the 521 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 3: bench and the moves that he can make. 522 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 2: And that's why I think Cleveland is the play. 523 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 3: It's not sexy, but the pitching staff, the bullpen is ridiculous. 524 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 3: This is a team that still does the things that 525 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,719 Speaker 3: you and I talk about, like choke up with two 526 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 3: strikes and maybe try to go the other way. And 527 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 3: now you don't have a shift, so now you can 528 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 3: actually play baseball. 529 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 2: My gut. 530 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 3: Francona knows exactly how to do that. Never discount something 531 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 3: like that. 532 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 1: Never discount the Rays in the American League East plus 533 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: two seventy for them, plus two ten for the Blue Jays, 534 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 1: and of course the Yankees, most public team in sports, 535 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: plus one twenty. Matt, what's your take on this division? 536 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: Because this one's tighter. 537 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 3: Jay's time now. I think it's finally their time. I 538 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 3: think they went out, they got a Baskett, they showed 539 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 3: up that pitching staff. I think Romano's good on the 540 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 3: back end. Everyone's looking at Vlade and they're missing out 541 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 3: on how great Bobaschet is. 542 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 1: All right, Look, I think that's the better of the 543 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: wagers because you're getting the better number here plus two 544 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: to ten. Over at Betting pros Ao West, everyone says 545 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 1: it's the Astros Division to lose. They're minus one eighty five. 546 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: They're terrific team, but they did lose Verlander. I like 547 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: them bringing in Jose of Ray, I think that's a 548 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: great move in the offseason, But losing Verlander, I think 549 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,439 Speaker 1: is a big loss, and now you're putting a lot 550 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: of pressure on a younger pitching staff. M raval does. 551 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,679 Speaker 1: This is terrific, but you're putting a lot of pressure 552 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: on the Hunter Browns and the Christian Haaviers of the world. 553 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 1: I think Christian Javier is ready for it, but I'm 554 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: not quite so sure. Plus three sixty on the Mariners. Look, 555 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,120 Speaker 1: if Alvarez's hand is a problem and Altuve misses two 556 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 1: months here to open in the season, I know Alvaz 557 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: is already playing and back and stuff like that, but again, 558 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: it's one of those things. Sometimes these injuries have a 559 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: way of creeping back up on these guys. Plus three 560 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 1: sixty for the Mariners sounds like a really juicy situation. 561 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 1: Then you have the Angels at plus five fifty. I'm 562 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: not going to mess around with them, or the Rangers 563 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: at plus one thousand. Sorry, everything good break right for 564 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: those teams, But that's asking a lot. The marriage of 565 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: plus three sixty. To me, that's the only word you 566 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 1: can make in the West. 567 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 2: Yep, I agree one hundred percent. 568 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 3: But take everything I said about Cleveland and Terry Francona 569 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 3: and just replace it with Dusty Baker because Francona, Price 570 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 3: and Baker, I would say, and Buck are the four guys. 571 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 1: In the league. 572 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 3: And if I'm forgetting it, I'm sorry. That could really 573 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 3: pull strings that no one else can. But the Mariners 574 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 3: are the wagers play because of the plus number. 575 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: Another type division here, the Cardinals and the Brewers. Last year, 576 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 1: you got this right, I got this wrong. You were 577 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,679 Speaker 1: on your Cardinals. They're minus one thirty. The Brewers are 578 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 1: plus one sixty five. I'm a sucker for the Brewers. 579 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: I know the Cubs are plus six hundred. I'm not 580 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 1: screwing around with them not doing it, but the brewis 581 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: at plus one sixty five. I like this. I think 582 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: it's I still look at this pitching staff and again 583 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: that those are three horses, and you know Waynwright's starting 584 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: on the il looks like already. You know, the Cardinals 585 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: pitching with Flaherty and Wayne Right and all these guys, 586 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: it just seems a little thin to me. I know 587 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: Montgomery was good, but that Brewer pitching staff, and the 588 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: Brewers have some bats they can swing it too. I 589 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: like the Brewers. This year. I'm going I'm doubling down 590 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: on the Brewers, and I'm doubling down on the White Sox. Matt, 591 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 1: I'm uncorrigible. 592 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 3: As you should, because again this is gonna be one 593 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 3: of those things, you know, half a game lead coming 594 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 3: out of the last day of the season. 595 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 2: You're right, the Cardinal pitching is of concern and full disclosure, 596 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 2: I am a fan. 597 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 3: It is of concern, and Milwaukee is gonna be there. 598 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 3: Milwaukee's bats. I think Saint Louis can contend with Milwaukee's 599 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 3: bats a lot. And Brendon Donovan. 600 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 2: People have no idea how good this kid's going to 601 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 2: be any place everywhere. But yeah, I'm with you, man, 602 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 2: I think maybe it's Milwaukee's time turn this season. 603 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: The n West is the Dodgers at minus one twenty five, 604 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: the Podgers at plus one twenty and then you have 605 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: the Giants at plus twelve hundred. But look, Padres, to me, 606 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: if you like the Padres, don't bet them to win 607 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: the West. Just save your money and go bet them 608 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: to win the National League, which you know, to me 609 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: is just the better one to go through. And then 610 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: you have the National League East with the Braves, the Mets, 611 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 1: and the Phillies. Here the Phillies number is going to change. 612 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 1: It was plus three forty, but with Hoskins, my guess 613 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 1: is it gets pushed to maybe that four hundred range. 614 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 1: That feels about right to me. The Mets at plus 615 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 1: one seventy, the Braves at plus one hundred. Last year, 616 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: the Mets were the favorite. The Braves should be the 617 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,239 Speaker 1: favorite until further notice. But can the Mets end As 618 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: you mentioned, you know, the Buck Showalter led team, they 619 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: had first place there, they fell apart at the end 620 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,120 Speaker 1: Classic Mets They've already lost their closer for the year. 621 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: So is it the Braves division to lose or the 622 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: Mets to win? 623 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 2: So much saw it upon which would you like to 624 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 2: fall and die? 625 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,880 Speaker 3: It's the Braves to win, unless the Mets go out 626 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 3: and pick up a guy like Bednar or something like 627 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,120 Speaker 3: that to where they fix that glaring, gaping hole. 628 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the American League champion. The 629 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,439 Speaker 1: Houston As is a plus to eighty, the Yankees at 630 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: plus three seventy, the Blue Jays a plus six hundred, 631 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: and they have the raise of plus nine, the Mariners 632 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: at ten to one, and the Guardians at twelve to one. Matt, 633 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 1: if you're gonna throw your hat in the ring here 634 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: to win the American League. 635 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,920 Speaker 2: Who is it? If I can do this, I'm gonna 636 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 2: split my unit three ways. 637 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, as it sounds well at these numbers, you can, 638 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: especially if you like the Mariners at ten and I do, 639 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: and plus thousand, I like them. 640 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 2: So you can have that. 641 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 3: And just because I don't want to keep agreeing with you, 642 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 3: I'll split my Yankees, Jays, Guardians. And it's all based 643 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 3: on the fact that pitching bullpens and just the Yankees 644 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 3: could have something magical. 645 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 1: Maybe I agree with you, and I like the Yankees 646 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 1: to win the American League. That's the two I'm splitting. 647 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,360 Speaker 1: It's the Yankees and the Mariners for me, and plus 648 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: three seventy is a much better bet for me. If 649 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: you're gonna like the Yankees, don't like them for the 650 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 1: division because it's a small number, go to the three 651 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: seventy for the American League, the National League, the Braves 652 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: a plus three eighty, the Dodgers at plus three eighty, 653 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 1: look gross, the Padres at plus five hundred. That's where 654 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: I want to put my money. I love that three 655 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 1: man top of that rotation with Darvish, with Joe Muskrow 656 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,719 Speaker 1: who was already on track, and hopefully Blake Snell can 657 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: figure it out. They got Josh Hater. That was the 658 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: big thing. Missing last year, they got Xander Bogart's they 659 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 1: got Wan Soto for a full season. I think the 660 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: Padres are just loaded. The Mets are also a plus 661 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,360 Speaker 1: five hundred. Those are the two that I would circle there. 662 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 1: You know, the Mets need a little bit more help 663 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,159 Speaker 1: now with Diaz out, but Uncle Stevie is gonna make 664 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: a move because Uncle Stevie's got a big old checkbook. 665 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: So I am not worried. If they can move in 666 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: for a guy like Otani, get the bat that they 667 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: need and the picture they need, the Mets ohs are 668 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 1: going to change significantly. I think if you think like 669 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 1: I do, that could happen, you want to put a 670 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: number on the Mets now before it changes in July 671 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: if they pull off that kind of move, And I 672 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: think they're going to be in it in July. So 673 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: the Padres and Mets at plus five hundred is for 674 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: me in the National League. How about you? 675 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 3: So what you did there, though it's smart, I think 676 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 3: it's a totally separate wager on a future thought with 677 00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 3: the Mets. Yes, I agree with you the prospect of Otani. Also, 678 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 3: they're limited in the moves they can make because they 679 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 3: need to save everything they have for that move. With 680 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 3: that said, there is a way to you to be had. 681 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 3: The Braves know how to do this, The Phillies know 682 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 3: how to do this. The Padres do they know how 683 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 3: to win? That's the question. So you can split a 684 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,719 Speaker 3: unit three or four ways on those teams. But keep 685 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 3: those things in mind. 686 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: Let's see you can win it all. The World Series. 687 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: The Astros a plus six hundred, the Braves plus seven 688 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: to fifty, the Dodgers at plus seven fifty, the Yankees 689 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 1: at plus eight fifty. Is a great number. Circle this one, 690 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: boys and girls, because the Yankees have that influx of youth, 691 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: and theoretically, you know for starting pitchers in the top 692 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: thirty five and fantasy, that's no joke. If Rodn is 693 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: right and working his way back Rodn, Cortes, Severino, and Cole, 694 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: that's a really good grouping there. The Mets a plus 695 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 1: nine hundred, the Podgres at plus one thousand, then the 696 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: Blue Jays a plus twelve hundred, the Phillies if you 697 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: sneak in there and you get hot, plus fifteen hundred, 698 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: and of course the Rays and Mariners a plus twenty, 699 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: along with your Cardinals and then the Guardians plus twenty 700 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: five hundred. You know, the White Socks at plus thirty 701 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: five are fascinating long shot at plus thirty five hundred, 702 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: so are the Brewers because both of them have really 703 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: good rotations if they get hot in the playoffs. So 704 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: if you want to throw some long shots, it's the 705 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: White Sox and the Brewers for me. The mid tier 706 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: teams though, to me are the Mets at plus nine 707 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: hundred and the Padres at plus one thousand, and then 708 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: as the favorites go, I like the Yankees at plus 709 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: eight to fifty, but matt where you're putting your money 710 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: to win it all. Last year we had Houston and 711 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: we were right, So now we got to come back 712 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: and do it again. 713 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 3: Well, the first thing is I know that people do 714 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 3: bet with their heart, even though they should need to 715 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 3: take a team like Chicago and all the things that 716 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 3: they go through, then maybe there's something there. I'll take 717 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 3: a team like Cleveland. I mean they're one hundred miles 718 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 3: away from East Palestine, and I mean people need a 719 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 3: break out there. They can go twenty miles to watch 720 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 3: the Pirates. They go seventy miles or a hundred miles 721 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 3: to go watch the Guardians, so there's something to be 722 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 3: said about that. But at the end of the day, 723 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 3: Braves Yankees is where I'm gonna split the unit to 724 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 3: Padres are fun and I can also think about trifecting 725 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 3: the unit, if that's a word Yankees would be with 726 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 3: a smart money would go. 727 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: There you have it. There's all the smart pajor wagers 728 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: and looking forward into the world of Major League Baseball here. 729 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 1: MLB Future is obviously a great market to play, one 730 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: that Matt Striker and I monitor all the time over 731 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 1: on sports Grid. 732 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 2: So join us. 733 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: We're everywhere.
