Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros m LB, brought to
Speaker 1: you right here by Prize Picks. It is leading off time.
Speaker 1: Happy Opening Day, everybody. We got there. We did it.
Speaker 1: We're here. Let the marathon begin. It's me Joey Pen
Speaker 1: of course, the Welsh joining me, and all the Peanuts
Speaker 1: and the cracker Jacks in the chat and all of
Speaker 1: you were watching live but also listening, and I encourage
Speaker 1: everybody to listen live watch us live on our YouTube channel, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, we called our shot yesterday and we
Speaker 1: hit it out of the park. Welsh. We were at
Speaker 1: twelve thousand subscribers. Thank you everybody out there. Well done.
Speaker 1: When we get to fifteen thousand, I will wear a
Speaker 1: wig of Welsh's choice. So if that's not motivation, Welsh,
Speaker 1: I don't know what is.
Speaker 2: Happy baseball say yeah, I'm ecstatic. It's Opening Day. I
Speaker 2: was shocked by the way when I got the message
Speaker 2: last night that we'd hit twelve because Joe kept hitting
Speaker 2: these markers. He's like, Hey, we're gonna do this. I'm like,
Speaker 2: all right, buddy, we'll do that. And he's like, now
Speaker 2: we're gonna do this, and I'm like, all right, all right,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna stop not believing in what you say one
Speaker 2: hundred percent, but I do love did you say just
Speaker 2: on record at any time this season when we hit fifteen,
Speaker 2: then uh, that wig is on.
Speaker 1: K subs we I mean it's only three thousand away now,
Speaker 1: which seems like nothing. I mean at this point, I mean,
Speaker 1: forget it, because we've got the Waiver Wire videos going on,
Speaker 1: We've got the uh, we've got your trade videos every
Speaker 1: single week too, So it's not just leading off. We're
Speaker 1: full service baseball. Got the short videos, we got the
Speaker 1: big time leading off show every single day, we got
Speaker 1: fantasy talk, we got wagering talk, and who knows, could
Speaker 1: be a girl scout wig could be I don't know,
Speaker 1: could be some eighties hair metal band fighting situations.
Speaker 2: I was personally thinking, like presidential, like.
Speaker 1: The oh that's a good one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know, like the curl. That's what I
Speaker 2: was going with.
Speaker 1: You mean, we'll see, we'll see what you mean, like
Speaker 1: old school George Washington, helmet.
Speaker 2: Thanking George Washington, Like I I think that would be
Speaker 2: a good lie.
Speaker 1: Well, I will tell you to be a voice that
Speaker 1: goes along with that wig.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, I'll tell you though maybe like a good
Speaker 2: hair band actually might like good hair metal ban like
Speaker 2: eighties hair metal that actually might be the But we
Speaker 2: got to get there, so you guys know what to do.
Speaker 1: Cousin Donnie back in the chat too. I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: visiting cousin Donnie in just a few hours, actually, in
Speaker 1: about twenty four hours, I'll be in Arizona visiting him. So,
Speaker 1: Cousin Donnie back in the chat, I don't know what
Speaker 1: kind of wigs he's got. That terrifies me. Let's get
Speaker 1: to baseball, folks. Let's talk about the headlines. First, good news,
Speaker 1: wander Franco in the lineup, Wan Soto in the lineup.
Speaker 1: Here's an interesting note based off some conversation while should
Speaker 1: I just had. Recently, the Braves and Orlando Arcia agreed
Speaker 1: to a three year, seven point three million dollar deal.
Speaker 1: What does this mean for Von Grissom.
Speaker 2: Well, I think it means the thing that we was
Speaker 2: implied when he was sent down. He will not be
Speaker 2: the shortstop of this team. I don't think it went well,
Speaker 2: even though I think he worked with the I think
Speaker 2: it was Ron Washington and the off season it was
Speaker 2: there were good positive comments that were set around it,
Speaker 2: but like, clearly there was something deeper with this tells me.
Speaker 2: And by the way, let's also not pretend like that
Speaker 2: deal would preclude him from being a shortstop in the
Speaker 2: future and he could be a super util and you know,
Speaker 2: like a lockdown thing if he doesn't work out. But
Speaker 2: to me, I think that's gonna mean Von Grissom is
Speaker 2: going to be learning and playing some other positions because
Speaker 2: it looks like they kind of got their defensive guy
Speaker 2: here for the near future. But who knows. I don't
Speaker 2: think it's super great. And I woke up and saw
Speaker 2: that and went okidoki, Happy opening datea von Grissom.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Von Grissmy, go bye your dioasty shares cheap
Speaker 1: right now on Von Gerson. By the way, Chris Evans
Speaker 1: Captain America in the chat here thirteen thousand subs and
Speaker 1: Joe wears Scott Steiner's chainmail gimmick. I'm all for that.
Speaker 1: I'll wear the sunglass and the whole thing. That would
Speaker 1: be hilarious. I'm in for it. That might be harder
Speaker 1: to secure, but we'll figure it out. I'll go to
Speaker 1: home depot, we'll get some something I don't know what
Speaker 1: is it. What is it? Scott Steiner used to wear
Speaker 1: the chain mail headdress. Oh my god, yeah no, end
Speaker 1: of w CW. Big Papa pump Era.
Speaker 2: Would you do the beard he does?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'll do the goate. Yeah, I'll do that
Speaker 1: in like a couple hours. Come on, Carl. That all right?
Speaker 1: More headlines here. The Pirates still in negotiation with Brian Reynolds.
Speaker 1: He is a big trade chip to fall at some
Speaker 1: point in this season. Fire and Buxton hitting third opening day.
Speaker 1: More lineup stuff too, Jazz Chisholm hitting in the cleanup spot.
Speaker 1: That's interesting against Sureser today, Josh Young hitting fifth, Derek
Speaker 1: Hall for the Phillies also batting cleanup, and Jordan Walker
Speaker 1: in the lineup, hitting eighth. Another news worthy topic to
Speaker 1: the Mets are not planning to name a closer now
Speaker 1: book Showalter. I saw his comments yesterday, Welsh. It was
Speaker 1: basically like, yeah, Robertson's the most experienced guy, probably gonna
Speaker 1: be a lot more roberts in, but he seemed kind
Speaker 1: of open to some other folks in there. So what
Speaker 1: do you think about this Mets closer position? Is this
Speaker 1: something even worth investing in at all? Or you're just
Speaker 1: kind of holding your breath waiting till they make a
Speaker 1: move eventually for a bed Ner or somebody else.
Speaker 2: I do think they're gonna make a move. I think
Speaker 2: at some point they're going to make this move. But
Speaker 2: I was never sold, like everybody else that David Robertson
Speaker 2: was the anointed one. I thought Adam Otovino would be
Speaker 2: someone that would get a look, and it kind of
Speaker 2: looks like that's going to be the thing. I think
Speaker 2: there's multiple of these situations. The Mets just happened to
Speaker 2: be like the best team with a weird closer situation. Well,
Speaker 2: i'd also say the Phillies. Phillies, I don't know if
Speaker 2: they've anointed Kimberl the guy, but they got Sir Anthony,
Speaker 2: they got Soda. There's a couple of those that, like
Speaker 2: investment is in, I would go and pick up just
Speaker 2: out of like you know, pure speculation, but it's going
Speaker 2: to happen. We've also got like the diamondback situation, which
Speaker 2: is not guaranteed. Kevin Ginkle might be the guy, but
Speaker 2: they got a million others today and tomorrow probably going
Speaker 2: to be big storytellers for us of like who we're
Speaker 2: trying to speculate on saves, and I'm not surprised that
Speaker 2: this one at all, because people were bumping robertson up
Speaker 2: to like the one eighties.
Speaker 1: I know, I was like, let's I think he's a
Speaker 1: fine patchwork guy if you're waiting on Doran or you're
Speaker 1: waiting on Munos to get the job for like April
Speaker 1: into May. By the way, if you ginkle, when your tinkle,
Speaker 1: make sure you keep it neat and wipe the seat.
Speaker 1: That's always a good thing to remember out there.
Speaker 2: Oh Joe, I miss this, miss even this, even even
Speaker 2: this the dad thing.
Speaker 1: But now normally at this point in the show we
Speaker 1: do three up and three down, which is the best
Speaker 1: of the stat people. But we don't have any stats
Speaker 1: because while it's opening day. So instead figure we throw
Speaker 1: out some milestones for you, which some are very easily attainable,
Speaker 1: some are kind of surprising.
Speaker 2: Where we're These are season milestones that players can set.
Speaker 1: Season milestones that people can cash in on. Here, so
Speaker 1: Zach Granki is one hundred and eighteen k's away from
Speaker 1: three thousand Welsh? Does he get it? Oh, we'll rapid
Speaker 1: fire these, yes, okay, so yes to that one Kershaw
Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety three away from three k also
Speaker 1: three wins shy of two hundred, so he'll get the
Speaker 1: two hundred wins. Will he get to the one hundred
Speaker 1: and ninety three k's.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say no on the k's, yes, obviously on
Speaker 2: the winsay, this is fun.
Speaker 1: Verlander one hundred and seventy three k's away from tenth
Speaker 1: all time. That's pretty stunning when you think about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's yes anything with Verlanders a years.
Speaker 1: He's also six win shy of two fifty sures or
Speaker 1: is one hundred and seventy eight k's away by the
Speaker 1: way from also getting too around that mark. We also
Speaker 1: have Adam Wayne Wright five wins away of two hundred,
Speaker 1: so that's an interesting one as well. I assume we
Speaker 1: get five wins out of Wayne right this year? Right?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean there's part of it pretty low bar. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but it's pretty low bar. He'll get there.
Speaker 1: Miguel Caberra ninety six hits away from fifteenth all time. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: and the last couple here, we got some closers kimberl
Speaker 1: which is funny because my phone actually has a last
Speaker 1: Night if you notice it went to Kimberly kimber Kimbral. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it definitely autocorrected. So Kimberly is six saves away
Speaker 1: from four hundred, and Kimberly Jansen is nine saves away
Speaker 1: from that mark as well. We assume both will get that.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I mean Kimberly I think is the diceiest
Speaker 2: one there. I'm not worried about Jansen, but I'm just
Speaker 2: still not garing. I don't know. I don't know that
Speaker 2: Kimberl has this all lockdown, and you know they can
Speaker 2: move away from a guy real easy if Kimberl has
Speaker 2: any struggles. That Philly team has no time to no patience,
Speaker 2: and you got Soto and Sir Anthony. But yeah, I mean,
Speaker 2: for argument's.
Speaker 1: Sake here, it's pretty close. Doctor Glenn in the chat
Speaker 1: eight minutes into the show, and no mention of Oltani
Speaker 1: a new record it might be, but don't expect it
Speaker 1: to last Q now. Chris Evans, by the way, continues
Speaker 1: to kill it in the chat. I see that Michael
Speaker 1: Harris batting seventh today against Patrick Corby. Miken Dolen says,
Speaker 1: to anyone who drafted him in the third round of
Speaker 1: main leads, you know, this is one of the guys
Speaker 1: that I think was collect throughout there, right on one of
Speaker 1: our shows about you know, worrying about him returning that value,
Speaker 1: not being a good player, not being a good investment,
Speaker 1: but being a good investment in that return. Braves lineup
Speaker 1: is loaded. What do you think about this spot where
Speaker 1: he's hitting today, Well.
Speaker 2: You know it was actually gonna like turn it into
Speaker 2: something else. This is also going to be a moment
Speaker 2: for everybody to not have absolute panic attacks today because
Speaker 2: you know, take for perfect example, I can already feel
Speaker 2: it if it doesn't work Corbyn Carroll today. They haven't
Speaker 2: released the Diamback's lineup, but he's a lefty going up
Speaker 2: against Julio Arias. That might not work out so great today.
Speaker 2: You're gonna see some platuny things. One game. Is it
Speaker 2: going to be the be all end all? I would
Speaker 2: say the same thing about Michael Harris. He like everybody's
Speaker 2: main starter out today. So if there's one big struggle struggle,
Speaker 2: I don't think there's a victory lap necessarily for like
Speaker 2: Michael Harris hitting seven or anything like that either. But
Speaker 2: I don't like it. I don't want him to be
Speaker 2: hitting six or seven all season. I'd like him to
Speaker 2: move up, as I would Carol as well if he's
Speaker 2: hitting low.
Speaker 1: All right, So a lot of Harris chat here in
Speaker 1: right now, and again if you're listening back to the show.
Speaker 1: We understand some of you have real jobs. We understand
Speaker 1: a lot of you actually have lives too, I've been told.
Speaker 1: But we love when you even just you know, once
Speaker 1: a week you pop in here live with us. We
Speaker 1: love chatting with you here live on the franc Ros
Speaker 1: MLB channel. Now. Also a new part of the show
Speaker 1: this year is going to do some prize picks, which
Speaker 1: again is going to tie into dfs. It's going to
Speaker 1: tie into your daily setting lineups, all those things. When
Speaker 1: you have opening day Welsh, it's always tricky because you
Speaker 1: have all the best pitchers going on the same day,
Speaker 1: so you got all the aces out there, You've got
Speaker 1: uncertainty regarding innings, regarding pitch counts, you have some weird
Speaker 1: things that typically do happen as well. So to me,
Speaker 1: opening day is one of those days, especially in this universe,
Speaker 1: where like you enjoy baseball, you watch the baseball, but
Speaker 1: be very careful in what you're investing in and play
Speaker 1: your studs don't overthink in all that good stuff, but
Speaker 1: Opening day can be a little bit of a bizarre
Speaker 1: day and a very difficult one, especially today if you're
Speaker 1: playing DFS or if you're making prize picks as well.
Speaker 1: Because price Picks obviously Boom the new sponsor of the show.
Speaker 1: We want to give them some love and they want
Speaker 1: to give you some love back. So Fantasy Pros leading
Speaker 1: Off each and every day is presented by Prize Picks,
Speaker 1: the easiest and fastest way to play daily Fantasy Sports.
Speaker 1: Pick the over or under on player props and went
Speaker 1: up to twenty five times your money. Use the promo
Speaker 1: code leading Off when you sign up, and they'll match
Speaker 1: your first deposit up to one hundred dollars. That's pretty good. So, Wels,
Speaker 1: you've got some prize picks. I've got some prize picks.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about them and what they mean for Opening Day.
Speaker 2: Yes, I put a little prize pick out there for
Speaker 2: you for ten times. Obviously you can go up to
Speaker 2: I believe it's five, and you can get that twenty
Speaker 2: five times. So I've got three that I'm going to
Speaker 2: put together. So if you were to put a twenty
Speaker 2: dollars down, put a twenty dollars down. You could get
Speaker 2: one hundred dollars back if you were to do these.
Speaker 2: And here are my four Pablo Lopez. His strikeouts are
Speaker 2: set at four, and I think this is a great
Speaker 2: spot for Pablo Lopez to get right on the strikeout front.
Speaker 2: It's one of my more favorite strikeout props to get
Speaker 2: because it's a low number. There's some big high ones
Speaker 2: like obviously I want to be involved in like Jacob
Speaker 2: de Grom today, but that's at eight. You could obviously
Speaker 2: play the lower front if you had, but I never
Speaker 2: bet against Jacob de Gram on strikeouts on any given day.
Speaker 2: So you're paying these together. Pablo Lopez four strikeouts, take
Speaker 2: the over show, Hey Tani take the over on the
Speaker 2: strikeouts at six and a half and one of my
Speaker 2: favorites of the day, I'm locked into him, Manny Machado.
Speaker 2: They've got a hits run hits plus runs plus RBI,
Speaker 2: which is a super fun one. You know, it's a
Speaker 2: different take off of like total bases one and a
Speaker 2: half hits plus run plus RBI. So Pablo Lopez on
Speaker 2: the more, Otani on the more strikeouts, and Machado on
Speaker 2: the more hit run RBI that twenty can get you
Speaker 2: one hundred and I placed it last night. So that's
Speaker 2: my price picks for nice.
Speaker 1: There you go, by the way, before I get to
Speaker 1: my picks for the day. Thomas killing it in the
Speaker 1: chat too. Thoughts ons on my IL news with Harper
Speaker 1: and Altuve going to the ten instead of the sixty
Speaker 1: day and Liam Hendrick starting to get healthier. The Liam
Speaker 1: Hendricks thing I saw, you know, I was in a
Speaker 1: salary cap draft right about a week before the season
Speaker 1: for my home league, and Hendricks I was trying to
Speaker 1: sneak through there, but I didn't have enough money. I
Speaker 1: only had the one dollar bids left and somebody two
Speaker 1: dollared me. And I'm usually on the hammer, but it
Speaker 1: said I was the nail. So that's going to come
Speaker 1: back to haunt me, and I feel that. But the
Speaker 1: Altuve one is interesting too. I guess this's really optimism
Speaker 1: with him and Harper that maybe they are going to
Speaker 1: be back, maybe sooner than we projected. But let's just
Speaker 1: again count on two months for al Tuove, two plus
Speaker 1: for Harper still and remember they've still got a ramp
Speaker 1: up too. You know, I don't know what it's going
Speaker 1: to look like when you come back from the injuries
Speaker 1: they're coming back from. So those are important things for
Speaker 1: me real quick. On Prize Picks, Ozzy Alsby Alsie Albie's
Speaker 1: excuse me in the over on the one and a
Speaker 1: half total basis, I'm going to be trolling the Cubs today,
Speaker 1: which is not going to be something new. And Marcus
Speaker 1: Stroman twenty six point five here for the under on
Speaker 1: his pitcher fantasy score, which is a fun one. So
Speaker 1: you like fantasy stuff, it's right in your wheelhouse. They
Speaker 1: got fun stuff on Price Picks, and I like this
Speaker 1: when they got the duos Corbyn Burns and Shane McClanahan
Speaker 1: thirteen and a half strikeouts over, so I can take.
Speaker 2: The two guys and see one like that one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you like them apples to me, that's the gimme
Speaker 1: of the day. Let's go to some of our favorite
Speaker 1: wagers of the day too, since again we don't have
Speaker 1: a lot of stats to talk about a lot of things.
Speaker 1: Everything's gonna happen today, so we'll talk about that tomorrow
Speaker 1: on the show. But well, you've got some bets that
Speaker 1: you're thrown out there. I know I've got a few
Speaker 1: as well. I even locked in a little parlay, which
Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of, but I did put
Speaker 1: a couple of things together that I really do like.
Speaker 1: And it's a simple one. You can throw a little
Speaker 1: bit of cash on there and make some money. Welsh,
Speaker 1: what do you have for the people?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's funny about the parlay stuff, Like
Speaker 2: I like a lot of the you want to play
Speaker 2: around in the strikeout market, but the strikeout stuff is
Speaker 2: all like minus one forty five. You know, that's like
Speaker 2: Kotani otani strikeout number was like minus one forty five.
Speaker 2: So I felt that really hard. I think there's a
Speaker 2: lot of good money and good plus money on total
Speaker 2: bases today. So I've got a couple guys that I
Speaker 2: bet solo and I put them with one or two.
Speaker 2: If I ever like parlay stuff, I don't like to
Speaker 2: do three. I'll just give me two guys. Lock them
Speaker 2: in for better odds. Austin Riley today total bases one
Speaker 2: and a half. It's plus one oh five. I found
Speaker 2: that over on DK And of course you can find
Speaker 2: all of these numbers if you go to Betting Pros
Speaker 2: and you check out the cheat sheet, which is awesome.
Speaker 2: It'll line out, all the projected stuff, everything you can go.
Speaker 2: I like also that the sheet will throw players in
Speaker 2: my face, so then I can kind of try to
Speaker 2: go and figure out who I want.
Speaker 1: I actually filtered, especially if they just played their a
Speaker 1: little smelly too. You know you're gonna right in your face,
Speaker 1: like that's.
Speaker 2: A long exactly. I filtered it too for like plus
Speaker 2: money stuff, so it only showed me plus money. But
Speaker 2: I like Austin Riley total bases one and a half
Speaker 2: over Manny Machado again, he's in kind of everything for
Speaker 2: me today he's plus one twenty five on DK for
Speaker 2: total base one and a half over, and Wander Franco
Speaker 2: total base one and a half is plus one thirty.
Speaker 2: So those are three I really like, and I paired
Speaker 2: together kind of like you said in a parlay. I
Speaker 2: like the Atlanta team total runs at four and a
Speaker 2: half over today as they're going up against this is
Speaker 2: Tiger's right, I had a complete brain fart.
Speaker 1: Yeah I guess Tigers, Yeah, yep, so.
Speaker 2: Four and a half max free is going at Ardo Rodriguez.
Speaker 2: I love that total team and I paired that with
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay money line because I want to be invested
Speaker 2: somehow in like Seae McClanahan today, and that's why I
Speaker 2: like to price me too, So I'm finding it hard
Speaker 2: to find where I can put him. So Tampa, you
Speaker 2: can do it on Team Total.
Speaker 1: He's cheaper than a lot of the other races, which
Speaker 1: I thought was kind of we'll get to that in
Speaker 1: the second two. Here's one. We've got a lot of
Speaker 1: famous people in the chat today. Chipper Jones here too,
Speaker 1: or at least Chip Jones. I guess trying to you know,
Speaker 1: a little anonymity. Potentially. Olsen's my bet for the first
Speaker 1: home run. You know, I was gonna pick Olsen today.
Speaker 1: He does have the lefty lefty matchup, so I was
Speaker 1: a little hesitant on that, but I am picking a
Speaker 1: brave spoiler alert. We're gonna do the home run home
Speaker 1: run calls the end of the show today and we'll
Speaker 1: get the board back up and the whole thing going.
Speaker 1: And if you want to make home run calls again,
Speaker 1: Fansybros dot com s last chat, you have to join
Speaker 1: our discord and go to the home Run channel. We're
Speaker 1: giving away fabulous prizes this year for the winner. We're
Speaker 1: trying to get an overall winner prize. We're working on
Speaker 1: a All Star Break Winner prize as well, and we're
Speaker 1: gonna have monthly prizes to twenty five dollars gift cards.
Speaker 1: So again, just fun just calling home runs today. I'm
Speaker 1: looking at the over DK is good for K props today,
Speaker 1: Draftking six and a half over on Aaron Nola's strikeouts
Speaker 1: going against the Rangers. Love that one al Contra going
Speaker 1: against the metsag just four and a half. That's a
Speaker 1: very low number on DK. It's minus one twenty, but
Speaker 1: you can hit that pretty hard. I think that's basically
Speaker 1: a lot.
Speaker 2: I was staring at that one for a long time.
Speaker 2: I also want to throw out on the inverse. I
Speaker 2: believe Max Scherzer is five and a half strikeout, so
Speaker 2: he's only one more.
Speaker 1: Of the ones today one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I just want to throw those two because
Speaker 2: I stared at Alcontra a whole lot. But Scherzer was
Speaker 2: the one in that game, and that was kind of
Speaker 2: jumping out.
Speaker 1: Shane McClanahan over seven plus strikeouts here at minus one
Speaker 1: oh eight on FANDLE. You could do the teaser where
Speaker 1: you can slide the line, and I think that's about
Speaker 1: where the line is where you're getting the best bang
Speaker 1: for your buck there. I think it's a great opportunity
Speaker 1: against Detroit. I think I think he's definitely in there
Speaker 1: for eight or nine, so seven you can get it
Speaker 1: right at minus one oh eight the d Backs plus
Speaker 1: one eighty four in the money line. That's right, that's
Speaker 1: the over the La Dodgers today, Colin, that's my upset
Speaker 1: special of the day. You like them apples, Zach Dollan
Speaker 1: on the mountain, Let's go, I know you do. Atlanta
Speaker 1: minus one and a half is the minus one thirty
Speaker 1: seven over Washington. I'm in on that. I've got money
Speaker 1: on that today. Another upset special for you about the
Speaker 1: Phillies at plus one sixteen on the money line over
Speaker 1: Jacob de Grom. I don't know how many innings Jacob
Speaker 1: de Grom is gonna throw today. Let's get into the
Speaker 1: ballpen a little bit. Boys, come on, let's go. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying I think a lot of people have that
Speaker 1: one wrong. Aaron Nola's been spectacular. The limiting of Aaron
Speaker 1: Nola's walks in the last year and a half Welsh
Speaker 1: has really thrust him into fantasy. Ace conversation of like
Speaker 1: top ten guys, maybe even top five, and I feel
Speaker 1: like he still doesn't get enough credit. Why do you
Speaker 1: think that is when it comes to Aaronola.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean that's actually a really good question.
Speaker 1: Like all the numbers bear it out, like he is
Speaker 1: closer to those guys than he is the top fifteen guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, he's gone deeper into games as well.
Speaker 2: I actually wanted to bet Corey Seger today, but I
Speaker 2: just don't trust it up against Aaronola because Aeronola will
Speaker 2: absolutely pump the strike zone. He was one of those
Speaker 2: guys too. In the early draft season. I actually noticed
Speaker 2: I was lower on the consensus and I hated that
Speaker 2: because I like Aeron Nola, like over Dylan Ceese I
Speaker 2: would rather have for sure. So I'm actually avoiding and
Speaker 2: there were bets I wanted to take. Obviously, I've kind
Speaker 2: of made it known I like the Rangers this season,
Speaker 2: but I don't want to play any of them today
Speaker 2: up against Aaron Nola.
Speaker 1: Kevin Law with a question here in the chat for Discord,
Speaker 1: does it specific specified baseball. Yes, we have our Fantasy
Speaker 1: pros Discord, and then when you go in there, you'll
Speaker 1: see the baseball channels there's a million of them. There's
Speaker 1: home run, there's people looking for leagues, there's trade advice.
Speaker 1: There's a million things in there. So it's very clear
Speaker 1: where base ball and football is. Go cards wanted to know,
Speaker 1: are you making any of the predictions today? No? I
Speaker 1: did all that on another show. It's on the channel
Speaker 1: Matt Striker. Yes, that Matt Striker from ww fame, and
Speaker 1: I'm my co host at Sports Grid Weekly doing the
Speaker 1: Baseball show there. He also does the Better's Eye over
Speaker 1: at MLB Network. We did a whole thirty plus minutes
Speaker 1: about all the futures, all the teams, all the awards.
Speaker 1: Go check that out because we don't have enough time
Speaker 1: to do that today. And Chris Evans back again. He's
Speaker 1: taking it back, taking also back. He's going, Michael Harris,
Speaker 1: I like that. He's a little bit easy, you know,
Speaker 1: pushing the envelope. He's like, hey, you guys him about it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I'm not. I'm actually not fool jew.
Speaker 2: He's a homer call.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about some dfs here today. Again.
Speaker 1: FanDuel is always a little looser. That's why sometimes it's
Speaker 1: easier to play over there. McClanahan is cheapest of all
Speaker 1: the aces on there, ten point four against Detroit, and
Speaker 1: you can make.
Speaker 2: Something yeah, because I agree with you. I'm like all McClanahan.
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit worried. Mcclanahan's exposure is going to
Speaker 2: be massively. I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1: It's because all these other because there's gonna be so
Speaker 1: much public money in today, because it's opening Day and
Speaker 1: people aren't going to dfs, are gonna be like, I
Speaker 1: love the Yankees, I want to play Garrett Cole today.
Speaker 1: I want to play Max Sure's or today, I want
Speaker 1: to play They're gonna be all into the big public
Speaker 1: teams with the big public aces. Everybody's gonna be trying
Speaker 1: to do that. I think Shane McClanahan still, just from
Speaker 1: a sharp point of view, McClanahan is a cy young
Speaker 1: candidate from the general baseball public. They look at him
Speaker 1: as a good pitcher, but they see the bigger names
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be drawn to some of those bigger
Speaker 1: names today because it's Opening Day. I think this is
Speaker 1: why you specifically go to McClanahan, because look is the
Speaker 1: are the Rays more fun to make a lineup with
Speaker 1: than the Yankees no, or the Braves. No. But I'm
Speaker 1: gonna make a lineup with the Braves, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: make a line up with the Tampa Bay Race because
Speaker 1: those are my stacks too. So stacks today Atlanta, I
Speaker 1: want to be in Tampa. I want to also look
Speaker 1: at the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: is more of a DK play because in some of
Speaker 1: these Fandel games they stop at nine o'clock. They're like,
Speaker 1: you know what, we're turning in early once we hit
Speaker 1: ninety Yeah, a goal I'm in a contest today ends
Speaker 1: at nine forty the last game, then the ten o'clock game,
Speaker 1: saying no, no, it's too late for us. You don't want
Speaker 1: to stay up too late.
Speaker 2: Over on coast, it's that East coast West coast bias.
Speaker 1: The coast bias. Also the Milwaukee Brewers too. I'm going
Speaker 1: to be trolling Marcus Stroman today. I love that Brewer's lineup.
Speaker 1: The Brewers have a top five rotation. That's right, I
Speaker 1: set it. So those are all the pieces there. Now,
Speaker 1: this is typically the spot where we're gonna start talking
Speaker 1: about our home run calls. And again, this is something
Speaker 1: fun that we do with our audience, so I know
Speaker 1: everybody wants to be a part of this. Some people
Speaker 1: got into it last year. We had some monthly winners
Speaker 1: who did great. We had some people that joined and
Speaker 1: it was a real back and forth last year too.
Speaker 2: Oh right at the end, absolutely terrific stuff there.
Speaker 1: But again, go be a part of it. Make sure
Speaker 1: you're in it. And also if you're watching this video back,

Speaker 1: want to get off to a good start with the
Speaker 1: home run contest. Last year, you and I kind of
Speaker 1: fell behind and then got up onto the board. I
Speaker 1: don't want that to happen this year. I want to
Speaker 1: hit this hard. I want to hit the ground running.
Speaker 1: So Welsh, where have you landed for your home run today?
Speaker 2: I'm waffling. I gotta tell you, I'm waffling. Someone said
Speaker 2: something that chat that's been in my brain all day
Speaker 2: because I got a guy, but I kind of want
Speaker 2: to go to the other guy. What do I do? Do?
Speaker 2: I have a coin here? I feel like I should
Speaker 2: flip here. Hold on, I'm gonna flip a coin.
Speaker 1: WHOA? All right? This is this is how you get
Speaker 1: off to head on the YouTube channel. I know.
Speaker 2: Sorry, it's all great too. All right, Heads, Heads is
Speaker 2: gonna be the guy that I put on the list,
Speaker 2: which I'm gonna tell you is Manny Machado. Tails is
Speaker 2: the guy that has been tugging at my heart strings today.
Speaker 2: And someone mentioned in chat Onell Cruz, who's playing in
Speaker 2: Cincinnati today, a little bit worried about Hunter Green, who
Speaker 2: has like a really heavy slider usage on on your cruise.
Speaker 2: But this is what we're gonna do. So Heads is
Speaker 2: going to be Machado. Tails is going to be one
Speaker 2: all ready?
Speaker 1: All right? Here we go. My god, the drama, the suspense.
Speaker 2: A Machada is a home run call. That was my
Speaker 2: original one, but my gut was pushing me towards onell.
Speaker 1: It's amazing. I mean there was a lot of drama
Speaker 1: in that. So there you go. Machado is yours? No
Speaker 1: drama for me. I'm going with Ronald Acuna, who, by
Speaker 1: the way, is I must have bat in DFS three
Speaker 1: point nine k over On Fandel and if you want
Speaker 1: to know how to get McClanahan and Acunya in lineups, TJ. Friedel.
Speaker 1: They sit in the two hole today. He's two point five.
Speaker 1: He's going against the pirates. Wander Franco is three point one,
Speaker 1: and our boy Miranda for Minnesota just two point eight.
Speaker 1: So you're getting a lot of guys. There are a
Speaker 1: lot of cheap guys over on FanDuel specially, you can
Speaker 1: really make McClanahan Acuna work. You can get that stack.
Speaker 1: I got Alby's in that lineup along with I got Albi's,
Speaker 1: Telez Miranda Rosa, Rena Acunya, We've got Friedel in there,
Speaker 1: wander Franco. It's not hard, folks, like, it's really easy
Speaker 1: to get some good lineups out there today. Now, Welsh,
Speaker 1: you know it is Opening Day and it is a
Speaker 1: special time. And I know everybody out here is listening
Speaker 1: in the chat and watching live right now too. You
Speaker 1: know you have your Opening Day things that you're excited
Speaker 1: to see. What's the Welsh excited to see today Opening
Speaker 1: Day wise? Whether it be fantasy, real baseball, doesn't matter,
Speaker 1: Like what are you really excited for?
Speaker 2: I mean the number one thing is stolen bases. I
Speaker 2: want to see what the stolen base numbers look like today.
Speaker 2: I want to see how aggressive players are. See which
Speaker 2: players are going to be aggressive? Is it going to
Speaker 2: be the top end guys? Are we going to see
Speaker 2: those middline guys like the androsimenez Is of the world
Speaker 2: start seeing them more bases? Number two is Corbyn Carroll.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know I got a lot invested in
Speaker 2: Corman Carroll this year and all different facets. He is
Speaker 2: going up against a lefty though, which I'm worried about,
Speaker 2: so and I would easily say stolen basis Corby Carroll.
Speaker 2: And let's go with the three of any of my
Speaker 2: fun prospect people, Anthony Volpi. I want to see Jordan
Speaker 2: Walker Colas I want to see how the young guys
Speaker 2: are gonna fare in all of this. But I am
Speaker 2: just excited to kick up all of my baseball here
Speaker 2: in just a minute and just watch all day long.
Speaker 1: That's all I'm gonna The Vulti thing is exciting, you know,
Speaker 1: I think to when you take over at shortstop for
Speaker 1: the New York Yankees. Yeah, you know, he's kind of
Speaker 1: a local kid too. So the Derek Jeter tweet, which
Speaker 1: was pretty cool, you know, like, hey, go get them
Speaker 1: kid kind of stuff. That's that's fun. That's that's neat.
Speaker 1: That's something that doesn't happen very often, and that is
Speaker 1: very to do it on opening day, not like the
Speaker 1: home opener that happens like a week from now with
Speaker 1: some teams that they're in Yankee.
Speaker 2: See, which I'm dealing with with. Yeah, Bogman is flying
Speaker 2: into Arizona next week and him and I are going
Speaker 2: to this out.
Speaker 1: By the way, Bogman's flying in Arizona the day after
Speaker 1: I leave. I told him, I was like, can you
Speaker 1: please just fly in another day early so we can
Speaker 1: hang out.
Speaker 2: Told me, now, I'm literally missing you guys are missing
Speaker 2: by a day. But I get to spend time with
Speaker 2: you this weekend, and I get to spend time with
Speaker 2: Bogman next weekend. So it's my birthday month coming up
Speaker 2: in April, so happy birthday to Men's.
Speaker 1: Right, that's right. I'm definitely looking forward to the Vulpi
Speaker 1: thing today. That's a big one. Looking at you know,
Speaker 1: the slate too, I want to see what de Gram's got,
Speaker 1: how long de Gram is going to go?
Speaker 2: Oh, you know what, Thank you, Joe. That might be
Speaker 2: one of the biggest ones as well, is seeing to
Speaker 2: Grum out there and seeing him up again.
Speaker 1: I say five innings, what do you say? I say,
Speaker 1: he goes five innings, that's yeah.
Speaker 2: I think he's going to be capped around eighty ish pitches.
Speaker 2: The only thing is he's been super efficient at least
Speaker 2: in spring and stuff that he's gone through like three
Speaker 2: innings with thirty pitches, so I think he could go six,
Speaker 2: but I think five is probably smart.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And this is why I'm on the side of
Speaker 1: this game with the Phillies, because I think Nola can
Speaker 1: go six and change already out of the gate. I
Speaker 1: think he's ready for it. They could just keep this
Speaker 1: close and it'd be funny to see too. You know.
Speaker 1: The Mets were historically bad scoring runs for Jacob deGrom.
Speaker 1: I wonder if that travels with him, you know, like,
Speaker 1: could you imagine de Grom goes like five scoreless innings
Speaker 1: and they lose one nothing.
Speaker 2: Like, Well, that might be why a first five under
Speaker 2: in that Philly.
Speaker 1: Texas game might be a lot of five unders.
Speaker 2: I think it's like three runs because that whole it's
Speaker 2: like six and a half total on that game. Because
Speaker 2: those are you know, two of the best pitching matchups,
Speaker 2: We're gonna get our controversies Suresier Nola versus de Grom.
Speaker 1: Let's watching that, and also we're also going to get
Speaker 1: Jordan Walker making his debut today. That's going to be
Speaker 1: super fun to watch as well. I want to see,
Speaker 1: you know how this is the first month. I want
Speaker 1: to see how the Astros handle themselves too, without Verlander,
Speaker 1: without al two Va, you know, for a couple of months.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a different I mean know, they
Speaker 1: are the favorites again and they should be, but I
Speaker 1: kind of want to see how they handle their business
Speaker 1: here because it's a lot for Franbur Valadez now to
Speaker 1: step up as the guy.
Speaker 2: Quotas are Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Oh the first show. Yeah, I asked me twice. Dodgers, Uh,
Speaker 1: Mariners and Cleveland today too, Bieberg Castillo. That should be
Speaker 1: a great matchup. So we got got a lot of
Speaker 1: fun ones too. The O Tani numbers are really high today.
Speaker 1: There you go. We got how many minutes into the
Speaker 1: thirty minutes of the show, and then we got the Otani.
Speaker 1: But I mean he's going against every time Otani faces
Speaker 1: the A's this year, it's gonna be absurd. Those's I bet.
Speaker 2: That's why I bet I bet the one and the
Speaker 2: six and a half strikeouts on him today because I
Speaker 2: think he could have that in the third inning.
Speaker 1: There you go, all right, everybody, this is it. It's
Speaker 1: opening day. This is just the beginning. Now. Just as
Speaker 1: a reminder too, as I said, I will be on
Speaker 1: a plane tomorrow with my children visiting cousin Donnie in
Speaker 1: the chat. Everybody knows cousin Donnie from the show, so
Speaker 1: gonna be there live. I'm not gonna be doing the
Speaker 1: show live with cousin Donnie because we would probably get
Speaker 1: pulled down from YouTube. That would be a show that
Speaker 1: would be great once, but then after that probably we
Speaker 1: would get canceled. Uh. But the Worm is going to
Speaker 1: be filling in for me on Friday, Monday, and Tuesday
Speaker 1: while I go have some fun with the children. There
Speaker 1: my kids on spring break, and uh, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: Welsh in the Worm, which I'm in everyone's favorite radio
Speaker 1: show everybody loves. Yeah, let's go. It's a baseball But
