Speaker 1: Hey, yo, friend Oz, what is up everybody? It is

Speaker 1: it is not your friend, Oh Joey P it's your
Speaker 1: side friend O Chris Welsh and joining me my in
Speaker 1: this league. Brethren, it is mister Scott Bagman. Hello, mister
Speaker 1: Scott Bagman.
Speaker 2: What is going on? I'm ready to talk some baseball. Obviously,
Speaker 2: was out of town for the first couple of days here.
Speaker 1: Where were you? Where were you? Out of town?
Speaker 3: I was in Arizona.
Speaker 2: I was in your neck of the woods watching the
Speaker 2: Diamondbacks win opening Day and then lose three straight in
Speaker 2: embarrassing fashion. So it was a fun trip, but glad
Speaker 2: to be home and glad to be talking baseball with
Speaker 2: you here on Leading Off.
Speaker 1: And it was Bogman and myself together. We were actually
Speaker 1: at the Seth Beer infamous game, and I did do
Speaker 1: the Friday game unfortunately, where the Diamondbacks were the first team.
Speaker 1: I believe ever to be no hit through six innings
Speaker 1: in two straight games, which is a pretty awesome accomplishment
Speaker 1: that our team got to.
Speaker 2: See already setting records this year. So it's gonna be
Speaker 2: a fun year for sure.
Speaker 1: It will be well, it'll be a fun romp here
Speaker 1: over on the Fantas Pros leading off, No Joey today,
Speaker 1: and everybody I know, the Peanuts and Crackerjacks are very disappointed.
Speaker 1: They've got to be right. I don't know, but I
Speaker 1: do see some itl takeover a little bit, yeah, League,
Speaker 1: but yes, go cards. There is no Joe today. It
Speaker 1: is just us where we're going to talk about all
Speaker 1: the stuff that happened over the weekend. We're going to
Speaker 1: go through some props. We have got dfs, We've got
Speaker 1: some prop betting. It's really weird, kind of interesting time.
Speaker 1: I was on Bogman before we started the show, because
Speaker 1: we are stepping into like the back end of rotations
Speaker 1: on the first run through the season, so like where
Speaker 1: do you find your bets? But we've got awesome tools
Speaker 1: here at Fantasy Pros and then of course the home
Speaker 1: run leader board, which I want to say but maybe
Speaker 1: one person on this show did get their homer this weekend.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I don't remember who Joe had
Speaker 1: if the Peanuts and Cracker Deacs, remember who Joe even
Speaker 1: took over the weekend. He took one guy for the
Speaker 1: whole weekend, So did im a.
Speaker 3: Lot if I remember, correct, I.
Speaker 1: Just don't remember. I just don't remember who he had.
Speaker 1: I just specifically remember who I had, and it absolutely hit.
Speaker 1: But let's get into all this stuff. Oh, how about
Speaker 1: the first headline? The chat is literally you know what?
Speaker 1: Hold on? Where was it? I just saw right here?
Speaker 1: Zach Welsh will have to wait to rub in the
Speaker 1: Buckston Homers to Joe. Uh No, I actually won't because
Speaker 1: I will start right now. The headline we have here,
Speaker 1: Is it too early for a Byron bucks and victory
Speaker 1: lab Bogman? Let me answer, no, it's not two Homers
Speaker 1: on Sunday three, the first three games. Here's the question
Speaker 1: to you, Boggs. Is it too early for me to
Speaker 1: victory lap over everybody?
Speaker 2: Of course it is because we are four games in,
Speaker 2: you know, so let's relax. But hey, I'll say this,
Speaker 2: Buckson is amazing. Buckson is an amazing player. He's so good.
Speaker 2: He's first level round talent in a fantasy draft, but
Speaker 2: he won't stay on the field. But for now, while
Speaker 2: he's on the field, enjoy it, take pleasure in it.
Speaker 2: He is awesome. He is starting the year off super
Speaker 2: super white hot, So you know I am.
Speaker 3: I'm here for it. I'm here to watch him go crazy.
Speaker 2: But also when he goes down for an extended period
Speaker 2: of time, I'll be here for that too.
Speaker 1: So you are incorrect in your answer simply because of
Speaker 1: what Wonky Penguin said right here, we have to take
Speaker 1: the victory lap while he's still out there. I agree.
Speaker 3: It sounds like that would make me exactly right in
Speaker 3: what I just said.
Speaker 1: Okay, but I'm just well, you mean not.
Speaker 3: The mean way of saying what I just said right there,
Speaker 3: that's the mean way.
Speaker 1: Well it's a correct but you said, no, it's it
Speaker 1: is too early, and it is not too early. Byron
Speaker 1: Buxton looks as locked in as he's ever looked before,
Speaker 1: and he's crushing the ball, and you know what, kind
Speaker 1: of like him today too. Maybe we'll talk about him
Speaker 1: a little bit later. So no, I don't believe it's
Speaker 1: too early there. I would say that there's always an
Speaker 1: argument for any of these type of guys. You could
Speaker 1: make the argument that it's a sell opportunity because he
Speaker 1: was a fourth round drafted talent. I've always I've said
Speaker 1: since day one, he is a first round talent. So
Speaker 1: if you can, you know, trade for peak value and
Speaker 1: you're a little bit concerned, do it. You know, this
Speaker 1: is a fantastic time. Will he kind of keep going? Yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: I think he'll keep going. The injury risk is always looming.
Speaker 1: If you can't stomach him getting hurt, then it's a
Speaker 1: great time to go and look out there and see
Speaker 1: if people are willing to see if there's nuts like
Speaker 1: me that are willing to buy on him.
Speaker 2: Even if you don't want to trade him right, especially
Speaker 2: because he's playing so well. At least dangle and see
Speaker 2: what kind of crazy offer you're gonna get, because no,
Speaker 2: people are are already impatient, already getting you know, dms
Speaker 2: and messages about some players that I like that have
Speaker 2: not taken off quite yet. So you know people are impatient.
Speaker 2: So see what you can get.
Speaker 1: At least, and if I play in the league with you,
Speaker 1: send me an offer. Send me an offer on Buckston.
Speaker 1: That's the only disappointment is I don't have bucks in
Speaker 1: any of my like dynasty leagues, which is but I mean,
Speaker 1: I got like the lads and the Acunas and stuff,
Speaker 1: but can take myself getting to Buckston. Here's another one.
Speaker 1: Carlos Redon in his Giants debut struck out twelve looking phuhhenomenal, dude.
Speaker 2: I mean, I am this is concerning because I have
Speaker 2: I am a zero shares.
Speaker 1: Oh without concerning.
Speaker 2: And I think I was also probably low man in
Speaker 2: his h you know, pre draft ranking on Fantasy pros.
Speaker 3: I just don't think he's gonna last.
Speaker 2: This is he is the picture Buxton to me, even
Speaker 2: worse historically than Buckston in terms of him being hurt.
Speaker 3: So the twelve strikeouts were awesome.
Speaker 2: When he's going, he's phenomenal a lot like Buxton, especially
Speaker 2: since last season.
Speaker 3: But he does scare me like this is another guy.
Speaker 2: If he puts together two, three, four good starts, I'm
Speaker 2: starting to look to ship him because he just never
Speaker 2: seemed to be able to make it to the end
Speaker 2: of the season. He didn't do it last year either,
Speaker 2: but I mean no zero acclamation time for college for
Speaker 2: Dawn just In and he's good to go, which was
Speaker 2: surprising and nice to see.
Speaker 1: I mean team context is like, this is something we
Speaker 1: talked about in the preseason. This is like a great
Speaker 1: place for him to be. I wanted him to be
Speaker 1: with the Giants, but it's a very different situation in
Speaker 1: my mind of injury prone pitchers versus injury prone players,
Speaker 1: and it feels like it's just a matter of time
Speaker 1: with the injury prone pitchers. So yeah, I would be
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is the game, to be
Speaker 1: honest with you, like it was one good game, but
Speaker 1: I'm not sure people are willing to pay like high prices.
Speaker 1: You know, something that you could always do in some leagues,
Speaker 1: Not saying that this would work, but the Brewers' pitchers
Speaker 1: did not look great, by the way, all three of
Speaker 1: them looked pretty horrid. Well, at least Burns and wood
Speaker 1: Woodrow specific would pretty horrigle.
Speaker 3: The Zra is like seventeen right now.
Speaker 1: You could always, you know, you get impatients in leagues
Speaker 1: and stuff. You could put a Carlos for Dawn after
Speaker 1: a twelve strikeout performance, and you could probably put an
Speaker 1: off route for all three of any of the three
Speaker 1: of those pictures, and maybe you can get something done.
Speaker 1: Not saying it will happen, but you could consider it
Speaker 1: no a Cinagard justin Verlander face off battle of the
Speaker 1: return injured pitchers. Cinnergard went five and two thirds, he
Speaker 1: gave up two hits, two walks, only had one I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Sinnegard five and two thirds, two hits, two walks, only
Speaker 1: one strikeout, where Verlander went five one and run seven
Speaker 1: k's with three walks and Bog's. Verlander was piece of
Speaker 1: Pia's like dark horse or really pretty outspoken cy young
Speaker 1: potential winner of the year. Any takeaways from Verlander and
Speaker 1: Cinnegard going on, I mean, at least I would say
Speaker 1: my biggest takeaway I throw out to you is they
Speaker 1: both went five yes, which was like the biggest win
Speaker 1: regardless of any of the other stats.
Speaker 2: That's the absolute biggest thing is they both look healthy
Speaker 2: and ready to rock. And I think the biggest news
Speaker 2: wasn't even in the game. It was the Angels saying
Speaker 2: that Noah Kinderguard will have no innings limit at all
Speaker 2: this season, So already starting out going over five for
Speaker 2: a guy that was hurt most of the year last
Speaker 2: year is just a great It's fantastic news. And Verlander
Speaker 2: just looks like he's right back to the Verlander inspect
Speaker 2: there's no blip, there's no you know, recovery time or whatever.
Speaker 2: It looks like he's all ready to rock. So that
Speaker 2: is a great, great news and glad to see those
Speaker 2: guys look at least sharp going deep into games. C
Speaker 2: Indergard wasn't quite there with strikeouts, but I expect that
Speaker 2: to ramp back up pretty quick.
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 1: I'm very encouraged by Verlander that, you know, the play
Speaker 1: was to draft him kind of earlier in drafts, when
Speaker 1: it came closer to the start of the draft season,
Speaker 1: you were paying a little bit of a higher cost.
Speaker 1: I wonder if you can still get in on it's
Speaker 1: not really a sub basement floor type of price, but
Speaker 1: you know, like that median price, you know, like outside
Speaker 1: the top seventy five or right at seventy five. That
Speaker 1: would be something I'm interested in, because once he strings
Speaker 1: a couple more of these along, it's it's not gonna
Speaker 1: be cost efficient anymore. If you're I'm a believer in Verlander,
Speaker 1: I mean, he's built to go full season long, regardless
Speaker 1: of coming off the injury. I think this is very encouraging.
Speaker 1: And then the last one on a big headlines. Hunter
Speaker 1: Green debuted, oh just throwing like a casual twenty one
Speaker 1: hundred plus mile per hour pitches in his debut Bogs.
Speaker 2: I mean something like that. To me, it just it
Speaker 2: just says to me, all right, well let's get five
Speaker 2: better guys in the rotation so this guy can be
Speaker 2: on the back end, right. Which is that crazy? That
Speaker 2: that's that's Chapman level. That was what Chapman looked like
Speaker 2: when he came in and started firing, because remember he
Speaker 2: initially came up as a starter, but obviously he has
Speaker 2: moved to that relief role with the Reds. By the way, yeah,
Speaker 2: with the Reds. Absolutely. I remember seeing him hit one
Speaker 2: hundred and four on the gun two field so.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I thought that was only for
Speaker 1: MLB the show.
Speaker 3: I know, I don't think that was fake.
Speaker 2: I was like, I saw it him like, well, I
Speaker 2: mean that gun's choose, but he's probably hitting one hundred
Speaker 2: and then you know it wasn't. He's just touching one
Speaker 2: hundred and four. So uh yeah, man, Hunter Green looks amazing.
Speaker 2: But you're you're the prospect guy. What do you see
Speaker 2: out of this first start here?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean the problem I still have at the
Speaker 1: end of the day. Is how the fastball straightens out.
Speaker 1: And it's actually very reminiscent of a role. This I
Speaker 1: could still see. I hate to say, I could still
Speaker 1: see a long term thing where he would go to
Speaker 1: a bullpen, But the Reds are in this kind of
Speaker 1: rebuild mode that it would make no sense. There's no reason,
Speaker 1: there's no reason they should push as hard as they
Speaker 1: can for as long as they can to continue him
Speaker 1: in the rotation, which I think he will. I personally
Speaker 1: like Lidolo a little bit more. And Lodolo, I believe,
Speaker 1: is debuting tomorrow on Tuesday, which are today It's money
Speaker 1: or Tuesday. I don't remember which one it is. You know,
Speaker 1: cross my fingers that I say. I like Lodola. He
Speaker 1: doesn't get lit for eight or something like that. But
Speaker 1: I think Lodolo is it's just a better pitcher. But
Speaker 1: Green has got nominal stuff. And he was pumping off
Speaker 1: twenty one hundred mile an hours, which is ridiculous. Speaking
Speaker 1: of some mphs. Here is a fun fact and this
Speaker 1: came from code of five one hundred and seventeen point
Speaker 1: nine miles per hour off the bat and it went
Speaker 1: four to sixty seven. This is their actual tweet. Vladimir
Speaker 1: Guerrero Junior has never hit a home run harder or
Speaker 1: farther during his MLB career than what he hit on
Speaker 1: Sunday one, seventeen point nine going four sixty seven. Bugs
Speaker 1: our boy, Vladdie Junior.
Speaker 2: How about some of those scores from yesterday's game, you know,
Speaker 2: looking like SEC scores yesterday. But yeah, lad with an
Speaker 2: absolute moonshot, you know, I mean, the dude, the dude's
Speaker 2: gonna hit one, like.
Speaker 3: Well over five hundred at some point here. I would
Speaker 3: you know what I want. I want to see Hunter
Speaker 3: Green versus Flat.
Speaker 2: That is what I want to see, to see how
Speaker 2: far that ball would go. It would look like I
Speaker 2: can remember when I mean the farthest home or anyone
Speaker 2: in the world has ever seen hit because the roof
Speaker 2: was closed, so we have no idea how far would
Speaker 2: actually go. But the pool hoolesoft lidge, That's what I
Speaker 2: want to see.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: And just an absolute moonshot and that was one of
Speaker 2: them yesterday. And it's just you know, we're four days
Speaker 2: into the year and Flat hits his longest career homer ever.
Speaker 2: Gonna be a fun, fun season. To watch flat gonna
Speaker 2: see a lot of him.
Speaker 1: Oh and you know who had him this weekend in
Speaker 1: the home run contest? Me? That was my guy, That
Speaker 1: was my homer.
Speaker 2: That was actually came back from vacation. We're gonna start,
Speaker 2: We're gonna start getting a new lead in here.
Speaker 1: So I just well, I don't have a lead. Actually
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that, but technically, I just want to
Speaker 1: point out as soon as I pick him, he hits
Speaker 1: it harder and farther than he's ever done. Ever. I
Speaker 1: just want to point is there a correlation?
Speaker 2: I mean, anyone has anyone ever tried to take you know,
Speaker 2: Vlad's accomplishments and make them their own more than the
Speaker 2: Welsh has.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe we buddies, maybe hanger ons. You're a hanger on
Speaker 2: and you never even like hung out with the guy
Speaker 2: at nine.
Speaker 1: I mean, I just want to say it might be
Speaker 1: the duties of this host chance say they never.
Speaker 3: Met him, but you know I probably have met him, right.
Speaker 1: I have a couple of times. Yeah, exactly. Here's some
Speaker 1: stats here. I didn't stay at my house, but I
Speaker 1: mean I would have led him if you need. Here's
Speaker 1: some stat heroes from the weekend. We were at this game.
Speaker 1: Sean and Iah went seven, no hit, walked one, seven strikeouts.
Speaker 1: I was audibly upset that Melviowne did it again, that
Speaker 1: he took another guy out for a no hitter. I
Speaker 1: just wanted to see it at that point. That was
Speaker 1: against our Diamondbacks, and as I mentioned before, second consecutive
Speaker 1: Padre starter to be removed on an active no hitter
Speaker 1: and the first time a team has been no hit
Speaker 1: through the first six innings and two straight games. What anoplish,
Speaker 1: awesome accomplishment. Verdonna, we talked about five with twelve ks,
Speaker 1: Kyle Gibson seven innings, only gave up two hits with
Speaker 1: ten strikeouts. Chris Bassett Gibbson, I know. Chris Bassett six
Speaker 1: with eight k's and three hits for the Mets. Dylan
Speaker 1: Cees eight five innings with eight k's, but he had
Speaker 1: three walks to give up one und run. Joe Muskrove
Speaker 1: against the Diamondbacks. That's gonna be a big play for
Speaker 1: you this Year's just go up against the Diamondbacks. He
Speaker 1: went six two and runs, five hits, eight strikeouts. Robbie
Speaker 1: Ray had five strikeouts in a win over the twins
Speaker 1: where he went seven and Max schers are six innings
Speaker 1: six K's three earned runs with a walk with a
Speaker 1: win over the Nationals. So of those pitchers, Bogman, what
Speaker 1: jumped out to you? But obviously besides we Donk's already
Speaker 1: talked about him.
Speaker 2: Right well, JN we already talked about But just how
Speaker 2: unimpressive I expect Sean Mania and Joe Musgrove to look
Speaker 2: in their next matchup. That's not against the Diamondbacks, because
Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks lineup is miserable right now. But like you said,
Speaker 2: that's gonna be something you can take advantage in DFS
Speaker 2: a season long years, all year long, you know, as
Speaker 2: long as the Dinebacks look as bad as they do.
Speaker 2: But I think the one one of these things is
Speaker 2: not like the other. Here wels right and Kyle Gibson
Speaker 2: is the one that is not like the rest of
Speaker 2: these guys. You know, if it's all do you Sean
Speaker 2: and I had seven no hit innings at some point
Speaker 2: in the year and got yanked, you would not be surprised.
Speaker 2: I don't think any of these other guys are really shocking.
Speaker 2: Sures is great, Musgrove has been great, Sees is an
Speaker 2: awesome strikeout guy. We expected Bassett to get better with
Speaker 2: his strikeouts in New York, but Kyle Gibson rolling out
Speaker 2: there and spending ten strikeouts on his first start makes
Speaker 2: me kind of go, we need to be spending some
Speaker 2: money or attention or we need to be spending something
Speaker 2: on Kyle Gibson here. So he is the absolute one
Speaker 2: that stands out to me here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's big, like a ton of strikeout guys in
Speaker 1: this margin. I agree with you. Gibson wasn't quite on
Speaker 1: that list, and he was kind of a back end
Speaker 1: drafted player for some Some might be able to treat
Speaker 1: him as like a streaming option. So that's a good
Speaker 1: Here's a good question by wonkey B. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I just saw that who is the.
Speaker 1: Best team to stream against dbachs, Pirates or Orioles. And
Speaker 1: I think that is really tough because I would chalk
Speaker 1: it down to the Diamondbacks or Pirates. I would say
Speaker 1: pitching streaming, and that's obviously the question. I really like
Speaker 1: it against the Diamondbacks, but I think if you're going
Speaker 1: like full slate of hitters and pitchers, it's probably the Pirates.
Speaker 1: But strictly a picture against team I think the Diamondbacks
Speaker 1: right now especially, and that might change, like pirates now,
Speaker 1: but like Rojas isn't healthy and they don't have any
Speaker 1: rhythm they I mean, they've looked as worse as they've
Speaker 1: ever looked since I've seen them, So I would go
Speaker 1: that way. But if you're looking for a whole collection,
Speaker 1: I would say the Pirates.
Speaker 2: It's such a good question. But it correlates to what
Speaker 2: do you like better? You like food, oxygen, or water? Right, Like,
Speaker 2: you've got to have all of them, right, so you
Speaker 2: got it, you mix. You got to mix those three
Speaker 2: to survive. So those are definitely your basic ingredients of
Speaker 2: setting everything.
Speaker 1: The Orioles are like the food because like we could
Speaker 1: go without them for a little bit. The Diamondbacks are
Speaker 1: the water, and then the Pirates are probably the oxygen.
Speaker 1: So about two minutes for the Pirates, about a day
Speaker 1: for the Diamondbacks, in about a week for the orioles.
Speaker 1: So oxygen, water, food, that's a great correlation there. Bugs
Speaker 1: looking over it's stat hero hitters. How about mister steven
Speaker 1: one who is batting eight hundred with a one eight
Speaker 1: five seven ops. He has bett four sixty nine with
Speaker 1: an over thousand ops. In spring training he had a
Speaker 1: five for five day. Let's just stop there for a
Speaker 1: second and say, how interested are you and Stephen Kuwan?
Speaker 1: You know I am and TGFBI. I actually drafted him
Speaker 1: so I didn't have to play the waiver things.
Speaker 3: He took him in our AL only two, didn't you.
Speaker 1: I also took him in AL so I've got some
Speaker 1: shares of Stephen Quan. But look, yeah, let me get
Speaker 1: your take on where you are at with Stephen Kuan.
Speaker 2: Well, look, I you know, I think it's just as
Speaker 2: too early to panic about the guys that are hitting
Speaker 2: this well than the guys that aren't. But look, when
Speaker 2: you're having success, who cares what part of the year
Speaker 2: it is? Right Like, I get adding him in your
Speaker 2: DFS lineups because he's still cheap. I get adding him
Speaker 2: in deeper leagues as well, because he's hitting well and
Speaker 2: he's in one of those lineups where it's not like
Speaker 2: it's not like he's an injury replacement and someone's gonna
Speaker 2: come back and take a shop at some point. Right,
Speaker 2: the guy has an opportunity in Cleveland, So I mean
Speaker 2: I'm in. I'm in on buying it on Stephen Kuan
Speaker 2: and saying, because you know it's gonna be relatively cheap,
Speaker 2: and if he doesn't work out leon and he goes
Speaker 2: over twelve in his next twelve at bats, you just
Speaker 2: cut him and be done with him. So I'm absolutely
Speaker 2: all in on, you know, getting invested in Stephen Kwan
Speaker 2: a little bit here.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a I don't think it's a
Speaker 1: decision between like being in to pick up. He was
Speaker 1: probably the biggest waiver pickup as our boy Pickles in
Speaker 1: there just pointed out that he didn't strike out in
Speaker 1: spring training. I mean, this is his mo though. The
Speaker 1: problem is, and I've likened him to Louis a Rise
Speaker 1: in that by the way, Louis Rise at a monster
Speaker 1: home in this week. But Luisa Rise is a high
Speaker 1: contact not a big strikeout, high contact on basish type
Speaker 1: of guy because he just doesn't swing at bad pitches.
Speaker 1: But he also doesn't provide a lot of other counting stats.
Speaker 1: My worry is Stephen Kwan is going to be in
Speaker 1: that same area. I think the best piece of advice
Speaker 1: is you put him out there him. You should put
Speaker 1: him out there in trade talks to see what people
Speaker 1: are willing to do at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: he's gonna make great contact, which might be a little
Speaker 1: bit better for points leagues, I suppose, or you know,
Speaker 1: if you can manage it in you know, really either
Speaker 1: any format. If you need a batting average help, that's
Speaker 1: gonna be his play. But where he differs from a
Speaker 1: Rise or Nick Madrigal, that's going to be the separating difference.
Speaker 1: But he's he's an amazing hitter. He's just not a
Speaker 1: lot of the other stuff, which makes him a little
Speaker 1: bit of fools gold sometimes in fantasy. A couple other
Speaker 1: hitters Anthony Rizzo two homers, three for ten over the weekend,
Speaker 1: six rbi, Saya Sazuki two for six with six RBI
Speaker 1: in his first homer. Andrew Vaughn had two bombs six rbi,
Speaker 1: going four for ten, Aeronado homer with five RBI, going
Speaker 1: five for eight, and Bragmant was four for ten with
Speaker 1: a homer and four rbi. All very good performance to say.
Speaker 1: Aw Zuki off to a pretty hot start as well. Bogs.
Speaker 2: Yes, Zuki with the bomb yesterday and just looking like
Speaker 2: he is easily adjusting to the big league game. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, Aeronaudo super impressive already, I remember and the
Speaker 2: stands going. Dude, Aeron Odd was four for four today.
Speaker 2: Guy has been absolutely on fire.
Speaker 1: He saved me on like an opening day. He saved
Speaker 1: me on an opening day, prop bet By I said
Speaker 1: on the show, I said the one and a half
Speaker 1: total bases and he hit that bomb right at the bottom, so.
Speaker 3: That you're welcome for that. I conjured that homer out
Speaker 3: You did?
Speaker 1: You did at the bar. You were like, You're like,
Speaker 1: he just hit the homer.
Speaker 3: Let's heady, just go yard, Let's go.
Speaker 1: Some stat Zero's pictures. Jose Burrios could only go one
Speaker 1: third of an inning, giving him four earned runs, two walks,
Speaker 1: and a no decision a gets Arrangers. He looked awful.
Speaker 1: I Anderson two and two thirds, giving up five earned
Speaker 1: runs and he walked five well. Frankie Montes five innings,
Speaker 1: five earned runs, six k's and a loss, also giving
Speaker 1: up six hits with only one walk, which wasn't too bad.
Speaker 1: Three and one third for Hinjin Reu with six earned runs,
Speaker 1: two walks, four k's, no decision to gets arrangers, and
Speaker 1: Brandon Woodruff three and two thirds, seven earned runs, six hits,
Speaker 1: three walks, two strikeouts and a partridge in a pear tree.
Speaker 1: He was all the awful that you could possibly get
Speaker 1: from from those pictures. I know Brios is the one
Speaker 1: that's set up to both of us. Yes, awful. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was sitting in a sportsbook in Arizona watching him,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, he's not gonna get it out.
Speaker 3: They're pulling him. No, because there's no sound.
Speaker 2: I'm screaming at the television because I am heavily invested
Speaker 2: in Burrios. But look, I'm not hitting the panic button
Speaker 2: on any of these pictures. Not happening yet, We're not
Speaker 2: gonna do it.
Speaker 1: Is stat zeros from the weekend For hitters, Cedric Mullins
Speaker 1: only two for eleven with seven strikeouts. Bagman, you're a
Speaker 1: big Cedric Mullins guy. Is it too early to be worried?
Speaker 3: Yes? Of course.
Speaker 2: You want to be the guy on Twitter yelling at
Speaker 2: me about how Roby how bad Robbie Grossman.
Speaker 3: Is right now.
Speaker 1: I want to be that guy.
Speaker 3: We're four days in. Guys like, I'm just not worried.
Speaker 2: You know, sometimes these bad performances can lead to a
Speaker 2: season long struggles. But we're not gonna make four days
Speaker 2: a federal case yet, so uh, you know, unless they're
Speaker 2: serial bad, and they're bad all the.
Speaker 3: Way through the end of this week. No panic button yet.
Speaker 1: Also Peter two for fourteen, homer four RBI, which again
Speaker 1: they'll take Basalonzo, but hitting one forty three, Yeah, hitting
Speaker 1: the face reflective about his car accident's nuts. There's some
Speaker 1: young guys struggling as well. Julio Rodriguez ha started off
Speaker 1: really bad. One for twelve, six strikeouts, hitting sub one
Speaker 1: hundred seems to be a Mariner's type of rookie thing.
Speaker 1: Spencer Torkelsen oh for eight with six strikeouts, and maybe
Speaker 1: nobody is worse, even though he's not like a prospect anymore.
Speaker 1: He's a young dude. Joe Adell oh for six with
Speaker 1: four strikeouts, and Jeff Fletcher shared this tweet box that
Speaker 1: Joedell has seen thirty four pitches this year, seventeen of
Speaker 1: them have been breaking balls. He is oh for eight
Speaker 1: with six strikeouts, so I guess not oh for six,
Speaker 1: oh for eight. That is brutal and we are back
Speaker 1: to old school. Joe Adell struggling. And I don't know
Speaker 1: if you saw that throw where it was like he's
Speaker 1: gonna throw the home and he threw to the dugout
Speaker 1: over at first base. It's one of the worst thing
Speaker 1: I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 2: Home he's got the yips right now, looks like so,
Speaker 2: you know, let's he might be one of those spring
Speaker 2: training guys. There's plenty of those guys that are just
Speaker 2: crazy good in spring training. Whatever Arizona Weather does it
Speaker 2: for him, they get back to the regular slate and
Speaker 2: are terrible. Maybe he's one of those guys. So I
Speaker 2: hope not. I hope he gets right on track. But
Speaker 2: I ain't holding my breath zero shares jo Adell for me.
Speaker 1: That's pretty bad. Let's go take a look over at
Speaker 1: some bets. If you go to bettingpros dot com slash
Speaker 1: MLB props, they have got the prop cheat sheet, which
Speaker 1: you guys can check out. It's a very valuable tool.
Speaker 1: Takes their projections and it goes up against all of
Speaker 1: the books and it can tell you where the biggest
Speaker 1: differentials are as far as the props go. Today, I'm
Speaker 1: going to give you the top three pitcher and a
Speaker 1: hitter that are on the sheet, and then I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give you a couple that I like, and number one
Speaker 1: is actually Eliezer Hernandez strikeouts which are set at a
Speaker 1: very low three and a half over on DraftKings, and
Speaker 1: he's projected over five, so that is one of the
Speaker 1: top ones. You've got Dylan Bundy, which I don't actually
Speaker 1: particularly like this one because it's Dylan Bundy, but it's
Speaker 1: a lowcate marker at three and a half and that's
Speaker 1: over at bet MGM with a projected over five. And
Speaker 1: Taylor Hearn with the Rangers again three and a half.
Speaker 1: They're really being able to kind of target these guys
Speaker 1: at low strikeout totals, and that's the thing you can
Speaker 1: take advantage of early on three and a half projected
Speaker 1: just under five over on draft kings. Those are the
Speaker 1: top three pitchers, the top three hitters you've got. Who
Speaker 1: do you have? You have? Yeah, yeah, Connor Joe dude.
Speaker 1: I was about to say Joe Connor for some as
Speaker 1: I was going without Connor Joe.
Speaker 3: Let's you get when you have two first names? Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, And how I copied this that didn't go
Speaker 1: on here. They've got total bases. He's projected this is
Speaker 1: the under actually he is projected under one and it's
Speaker 1: set at one and a half and it's actually a
Speaker 1: nice minus one twenty eight over in bet GM. That's
Speaker 1: a pretty nice one. You've got the under total bases
Speaker 1: on Tyron Taylor over at bet MGM, again projected under one.
Speaker 1: And they really love these. They've I've noticed they picked
Speaker 1: on Show Heyo Tani, Show Heyo Tani's total bases under
Speaker 1: one and a half because he is projected right under
Speaker 1: that one and a half minus one twenty five he's projected.
Speaker 1: I think at like, I don't even think they're projecting
Speaker 1: on the total bases on him. I think that's a
Speaker 1: dangerous one. Here are two that I like them. Alex
Speaker 1: would strikeouts over four and a half against Seattle. Seattle
Speaker 1: is currently tied for the eighth most strikeouts in baseball,
Speaker 1: and they're putting out guys like Julia Rodriguez, Jared Kelnick,
Speaker 1: johannil Swarz. The top of the lineup is a little
Speaker 1: bit risky as far as getting the k's, but on
Speaker 1: the back end it's good. So if you've got a
Speaker 1: pitcher like Alex Wood, who I think can go deep,
Speaker 1: I really really love this one and I will personally
Speaker 1: be making this. And you've got Mike Trout total bases
Speaker 1: over one and a half against eliaz Or Hernandez. Trout
Speaker 1: currently has two straight games with extra base hits. He's
Speaker 1: got three hits in four games. He has a double
Speaker 1: and then a homer from the day before. So I
Speaker 1: like Mike Trout total bases one and a half and
Speaker 1: I like Alex Wood four and a half. You like
Speaker 1: those box I do.
Speaker 2: I like the Mike Trout one specifically and the Alex
Speaker 2: Would one. I mean, you've been crushing those strikeout ones
Speaker 2: early in the years, so I would definitely take Welch's
Speaker 2: advice on those k ones.
Speaker 3: Those are the ones he's been rolling real well with.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and oh man, I got brutalized yesterday. I hit
Speaker 1: every single one leading up until yesterday. And I took
Speaker 1: Trevor Rodgers at four and a half against the Giants
Speaker 1: and whammy.
Speaker 3: And whammy wam wam.
Speaker 2: Not.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that did not work out well for me, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: because I think he ended at four and he had
Speaker 1: a little bit of a rough. It was a little
Speaker 1: bit of a rough go on that game, which was
Speaker 1: a bit disappointing. Let's jump over DFS slate bogs. You
Speaker 1: actually did our DFS slate and there's some I'm gonna
Speaker 1: just read off a couple and you just throw me
Speaker 1: a name or two that you like for DK. Some
Speaker 1: of the prices. You got Manoa at ten point two.
Speaker 1: You've got Alex Wood at nine point two, which I
Speaker 1: like up against Alex Wood up against San Diego. Reminding
Speaker 1: the strikeout numbers there, Suarez has got the Mets at
Speaker 1: eight point nine. Henoah's at Washington eight point six. I'll
Speaker 1: lead it there. What guys do you like as far
Speaker 1: as DK pitching wise.
Speaker 3: Swarez at eight point nine against the Mets.
Speaker 2: He's got a really good track record, you know, also
Speaker 2: very strong against Washington last year in a couple starts,
Speaker 2: and you know, just not a great lot of great
Speaker 2: PBB data against him. So those are probably my two
Speaker 2: favorite DK guys on this slate today.
Speaker 1: Over on FanDuel nine point nine for Manoa, Suarez nine
Speaker 1: point six. So you're gonna pay up more for Suarez
Speaker 1: over on FanDuel relatively compared to DK. He's nine point six,
Speaker 1: Alex Wood nine point two Monoa. You Knowah is eight
Speaker 1: point six. I gotta say, like, I'm probably pretty heavy
Speaker 1: Alex Wood today in San Diego. So I'm invested in
Speaker 1: those game stacks. You've got Philly. Philly is going up
Speaker 1: against Taiwan Walker. They put a big offense. Toronto going
Speaker 1: up against tay On, which there we'll talk about in
Speaker 1: the lineup Builders here in a second. And the Angels
Speaker 1: against Elias or Hernandez, even though that strikeout prop is
Speaker 1: like their number one. I like the offense up against
Speaker 1: ali iSER. So the lineup Builders is interesting because there
Speaker 1: are some big places. I'm gonna let you actually read
Speaker 1: them box you put these, but it's gonna show off
Speaker 1: Toronto and maybe the guy who's the play of the
Speaker 1: day and everything as well.
Speaker 2: Yes, real quick, just want to mention that Michael Lorenzen
Speaker 2: against these Marlins right here, five for thirty nine with
Speaker 2: a one forty seven average against him, So nice cheap play.
Speaker 2: You're looking for a cheap DFS guy. Schwarber five for
Speaker 2: ten with five bombs off Walker. Play today, play Schwarber
Speaker 2: everywhere is expensive, doesn't matter. Buxton three for three with
Speaker 2: a double and a homer versu flex and he's five
Speaker 2: point nine DK three point seven on FanDuel Alec Bohm,
Speaker 2: one of the few guys he's got a good track
Speaker 2: record against is Taiwan Walker four for ten a double
Speaker 2: and a homer is three point seven and two point eight, respectfully.
Speaker 2: Real Muteo three for eight with a bomb against Taiwan,
Speaker 2: four point six on DK, three point six on FanDuel
Speaker 2: Flad and Bashett both three for seven verse tai On
Speaker 2: Flat six point one and four point five to set
Speaker 2: five point four and four point three. Anthony Rendon four
Speaker 2: point three, three point one, six for ten, a double,
Speaker 2: two bombs against Illisier Hernandez, which is why I like
Speaker 2: to stack those angels. And Crawford six for fifteen with
Speaker 2: two doubles against Bundy. He is three point eight and
Speaker 2: two point six. So those are the guys I like
Speaker 2: to set your DFS lineup for the day.
Speaker 1: And ladies and gentlemen. Of course, last but not least,
Speaker 1: the Home Run Contest, which you guys can take part
Speaker 1: in over on the Fantasy Pros Discord. You guys got
Speaker 1: to come and check it out. You got to be
Speaker 1: a part of the premium, So if you sign up
Speaker 1: on premium you can get in. There's Pristine Auction. I
Speaker 1: think we're gonna have some winners in that from Pristine Auction.
Speaker 1: We'll be doing Joe will probably tell more about that.
Speaker 1: But if you sign up get premium, Mike Mayer has
Speaker 1: got a cool setup that's gonna track it and you
Speaker 1: can do your daily home run calls. The leaderboard currently
Speaker 1: there are eight people that have hit two dingers, that
Speaker 1: have two dingers. Lonmore Man four point four, I see
Speaker 1: as the top. We've also got I'm not gonna even
Speaker 1: go through all the names, but Terry, I see on there.
Speaker 1: There's eight people. I am on the board. I do
Speaker 1: not know if Joe is on the board. I do not.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say he's not over the weekend. So no,
Speaker 1: so he is the board, not on the board. I'm

Speaker 1: I'll let you go first. Who is your home run
Speaker 1: call of the day?
Speaker 3: Easy?

Speaker 1: I don't care that he's had three so far. Today
Speaker 1: it's Byron Buxton day. I am back on it. I
Speaker 1: should have taken Buxton over the weekend. I would be
Speaker 1: the leader had I gone with my guy it's a
Speaker 1: great matchup today. I'm taking Byron buckson on the home
Speaker 1: run call. Who are you guys taking? Join up on
Speaker 1: the discord and you guys can join in the action
