We are actually separated by five feet apiece. 11 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 2: We are in New York for a meeting, so folks 12 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 2: at home, we figured this was better than nothing as 13 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 2: far as getting a podcast out to the people hours 14 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 2: before the All Star festivities that get underway. So thank 15 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 2: you for your patience for those of you that are 16 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 2: tuning into the festivities in Seattle. So we won't waste 17 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 2: any time. We'll dive right in. We're going to get 18 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 2: to Home Run Derby first, then we'll look to the 19 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 2: All Star Game and we'll work from there. We're presented 20 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 2: by FanDuel today, so we'll have all of our odds 21 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,559 Speaker 2: and all that good stuff, presented by the FanDuel sportsbook Shanzarillo. 22 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,199 Speaker 3: Hi, what do you got yeah for home run Derby? 23 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 4: Favorite bet Lulu Rodriguez in the first round about plus 24 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 4: one forty over Pete Alonzo Alonso obviously two time Derby champion. 25 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 4: But in my lifetime, there's three Derby performances that if 26 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 4: you know, I just think about the home run Derby. 27 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 4: If somebody mentions the home run derbty to me says, 28 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 4: give me the three most memorable performances of your lifetime 29 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 4: in the home run Derby. The first would be Mark 30 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 4: McGuire at Fenway when he was juiced out of his mind, 31 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 4: but he hit thirteen home runs in the first round. 32 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 4: Put a couple over the Green Monster. He got a 33 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 4: couple close to the best his turnpike out there. I mean, 34 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 4: that was just absolutely stunning to watch as a teenager preteen. 35 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 4: The next would be Josh Hamilton at Yankee Stadium hitting 36 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 4: balls and nearly out of Yankee Stadium. And the third 37 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 4: was Julio Rodriguez last year, hitting sixty two home runs 38 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 4: combined in the first two rounds. What all three of 39 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 4: those guys have in common is the fact that none 40 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 4: of them actually won the home run deer. They all 41 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 4: put up wildly impressive first rounds and then probably gas 42 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 4: themselves out hitting somebody home runs in the first round, 43 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 4: and Julio's case hitting so many home runs in the 44 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 4: first two rounds. But that said Julio, you know, looking 45 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 4: at the advanced metrics, how hard both Julio and the 46 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 4: rest of the field hit the ball. He ranks second 47 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 4: in terms of peak eggs velocity, and you know maximum 48 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 4: eggs and velocity. Peak eggs and velocity is when you 49 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,359 Speaker 4: see a guy achieve a new max eggs velocity. It's 50 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 4: a very good indicator of overall power expectations or overall 51 00:02:58,880 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 4: power potentials. 52 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 3: So when you have guys like John. 53 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 4: Carlos Dan who are typically you know, at the top 54 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 4: of the league in piagaggs in velocity, right, not just 55 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 4: avererdag and velocity, but how hard they're able to hit 56 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 4: the ball at its peak, it just shows you their 57 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 4: overall raw power upside. Pete Alonzo in this field actually 58 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 4: ranks closer to average. Julia Rodriguez is in the top 59 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 4: two players along with Laguerrero Junior. So the fact that 60 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 4: you have Guerrero who's been dominant in derbies in the past, 61 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 4: Pete Alonzo has been dominant in derbies in the past, 62 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 4: and Hulio Rodriguez, who put one of the most impressive 63 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 4: derby performances ever last year, all on the same side 64 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 4: of the bracket. I think it really leaves it open 65 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 4: for the left hand side of the bracket for somebody 66 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 4: from there to potentially win and have an easier path. 67 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 4: I think Julio actually has the easier or the most 68 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 4: difficult path of all these guys in the derby because 69 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 4: he has to take out lad and Pete just to 70 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 4: make the finals. But comparing them straight up, Julio is 71 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 4: the better metrics on paper. I know Pete has performed 72 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 4: well in derbies in the past, but Julio has, as 73 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 4: I said, done one of the most impressive things that 74 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 4: I've ever seen in derby. One thing I want to 75 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 4: mention too, Pete Alonzo was injured risk injury in June, 76 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 4: and because the Mets have been struggling, they kind of 77 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 4: rushed him back, or it seemed like he rushed himself 78 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 4: back Stintce. Coming back from that injury, Pete is hitting 79 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 4: one fifty three with a two sixty five on base 80 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 4: and a three sixty one slug his four home runs 81 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,119 Speaker 4: an eighty three played appearance. He had not seemed fully healthy. 82 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 4: I was actually surprised that he was participating in the derby. 83 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 4: Now this does remind me a little bit of Won 84 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 4: Soto last year, who seemed to be injured coming into 85 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 4: the derby and ended up winning it. 86 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 3: So take away from that what you will. 87 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 4: I just think cooler Rodriguez in the first round against 88 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 4: Pete Alonzo plus one forty is a bit underrated. 89 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 3: I think this should be closer to pick him. 90 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 4: So we're gonna take Jay rodiplus one forty to upset 91 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 4: the two time Derby champion and one of my favorite players. 92 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 3: The polar are as my best bet. 93 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 4: We could talk about, you know, the other half of 94 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 4: the bracket in a minute, but curious to hear Anthony's 95 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 4: thoughts on the Sturby as well. 96 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, real quick, just to kind of map this out. 97 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 2: I know most folks have probably gotten to this already, 98 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 2: But in Alonzo Rodriguez the two seven, they get the 99 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 2: winner of Bets s Guerrero, which is the three six, respectively, 100 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 2: And at the top of the bracket, Robert is the 101 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 2: number one seed. Rochman the eight Garcia and a Rosa 102 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 2: Raina four and five, respectively, So that's how it breaks 103 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 2: down for the Derby. I keep reminding myself that they've 104 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 2: got the bracket form these days. Go ahead to bundo 105 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 2: what he got. 106 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree with Zarrilla on Alonso and being concerned 107 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 5: about him coming into this. He only has five barrels 108 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 5: since coming back in his barrel rates well below ten percent, 109 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 5: So you're not seeing the same quality of batted balls 110 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 5: with Pete that you saw prior to injury and. 111 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 3: In years past. 112 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 5: And I actually think, you know, trying to price this 113 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 5: out is pretty difficult in the sense that there's a 114 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 5: lot of variability, and the biggest one is the pitcher quality. 115 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 5: We just don't know necessarily how good the pitching is 116 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 5: going to be from some of these guys. And I 117 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 5: think Alonso and Guerrero are almost a little overvalued off 118 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 5: of their history in this competition, and with him those 119 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 5: two en Rodriguez all being on the same half of 120 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 5: the draw, I'm actually going to the other side for 121 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 5: my pick. I'm gonna take Luis Robert. You can find 122 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 5: him as high as five to one to win this. 123 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 5: Robert a really interesting season in that his strikeout rate 124 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 5: is way up and he's been chasing as much as ever. 125 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 5: He's never had good played discipline. But even if you 126 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 5: look at his average exit velocity eighty nine point one 127 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 5: is like pretty below average for this field, pretty average 128 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 5: for Major League baseball. But if you look at the 129 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 5: top end of that profile, the batted balls that he 130 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 5: really connects on, he's hitting harder than last year. He's 131 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 5: hitting more barrels. His barrel raid has gone up to 132 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 5: fifteen percent, which is the second highest in the field, 133 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 5: behind only at the least Garcia. And Robert gets i 134 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 5: think the most favorable draw to this final, where he gets, yes, 135 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 5: he's a first time participant, but he gets Addie Rutchman, 136 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 5: who is, you know, the longest shot to win this 137 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 5: event in the first round, and then potentially Randy rose 138 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 5: Rena or out of least Garcia in the second round. 139 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 5: So it's a pretty favorable draw for him to avoid 140 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 5: the three biggest sluggers in my view, and the three 141 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 5: people that should be lined as kind of the favorites 142 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 5: with the fact that they off to play each other 143 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 5: and knock each other out before they would potentially play 144 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 5: Robert and the thing with Robert is you know, if 145 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 5: you take out his biggest flaw, which is the chase, 146 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 5: like you're not being pitched selective in the home run derby, 147 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 5: You're just getting pitches right down the middle. I mean, 148 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 5: nobody's done more damage on those kinds of pitches this 149 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 5: year than Robert. The problem with his average velosphy being 150 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 5: lower is when he's you know, using the hit tool 151 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,239 Speaker 5: to kind of you know, make weak contact on bad pitches. 152 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 5: So Robert for me is my pick five to one. 153 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 5: Like I said, second highest barrel rate has shown the 154 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 5: max ev one seventeen in years past. We know, you know, 155 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 5: he has the raw power to hit one really far. 156 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 5: And I also like under for the longest home run. 157 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 5: Four ninety and a half is the highest number that 158 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 5: I see out there right now. I understand that there 159 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 5: is some wind blowing out tonight to left, which should 160 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 5: help you know, a very righty heavy field in this 161 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 5: home run derby, But given the relatively low humidity and 162 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 5: just the way that Seattle's Park plays, four ninety seems 163 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 5: like an awfully high number to get two for me. 164 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 5: And that sounds like a really fun sweat too, given 165 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 5: that you know you're gonna be sweating every home run 166 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 5: and hoping that the stat cast doesn't say it went 167 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 5: over four hundred ninety one feet. 168 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 2: Right now, Fandel's got it at for eighty five and 169 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 2: a half? Is that playoffs? 170 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 5: Would I would shop around just because there are other 171 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 5: numbers out there that makes a big difference. This number 172 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 5: opened as high as four ninety two and a half 173 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 5: at vandal actually and has been bet down at some 174 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 5: books and has been moving around a lot, So definitely 175 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 5: chop around for the best number. Every foot counts. 176 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 4: I would just want to comment on a few more 177 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 4: props too before we leave the home run every So 178 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 4: total home runs in the first round, you know, just 179 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 4: comparing the domestic markets in the offshore markets, that was 180 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 4: heavily juiced to the under offshore. So if you're looking 181 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 4: at total home runs in the first round, I would 182 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 4: lean under the National League versus American League props. Six 183 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 4: of these eight hitters are from the National League. If 184 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 4: you price that out based on where the betting market 185 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 4: has them, they have peed alonzo a three to one, 186 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 4: and they have Mooie bets at about twenty to one. Combined, 187 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 4: their implied probability about twenty nine and a half to 188 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 4: thirty percent. So the National League should be about minus 189 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 4: two or I should say plus two to thirty, or 190 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 4: the National League should be minus two thirty. You're going 191 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 4: to really not find much value in that market. That 192 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 4: was something that caught my attention though, because six to 193 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 4: the eight hitters are from the American League. And then lastly, 194 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 4: I just want to talk about the left hand side 195 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 4: of the bracket. I think the key matchup is at 196 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 4: Alas Garcia against Randy rose Arena. On paper, they have 197 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,439 Speaker 4: very comparable metrics in terms of their peak eggs of 198 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 4: velocity is Garcia ninety six percentile a Rosorina ninety third, 199 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 4: Luis Robert eighty nine. So I actually like one of 200 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 4: Garcia or rose Arena to pull the upset, whichever one 201 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 4: it is against Luise Robert around two. And just Luis Robert, 202 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 4: when I was going through this competition, kind of struck 203 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 4: me as a guy who is probably either gonna win 204 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 4: or get upset in the first round by Adli Rushman. 205 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 4: So all of these guys is that we've talked about 206 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 4: so far, aside from Adley and Betts, all in the 207 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 4: eighty ninth percentile or higher for average or for maximum 208 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 4: exit velocity. Right their raw power potential Adlie Rushman seventy 209 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 4: first percentile, Mookie Betts sixty eight percentile. So just in 210 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 4: terms of how you compare all of their raw power 211 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 4: on paper, I've actually might make Bets the biggest underdog 212 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 4: in the field, you know, the least likely to win it. 213 00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 3: I think Russian should be. 214 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 4: Seventh, and compare to the metrics that Robert has, I 215 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 4: actually think he has a chance of pulling the upset. 216 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 4: So I might sprinkle a little bit on Adlie, especially 217 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 4: going back to Spacific Northwest, playing in front of a 218 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 4: crowd that's going to be pulling for Roum. But now 219 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 4: it's Jay Rod for me, is my winner at plus 220 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 4: five fifty, and then I'm gonna play him in matchup 221 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 4: props with the Dolis, Garcia and Randi rose Arena, I 222 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 4: believe you can get eleven to one fifteen to one 223 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 4: respectively on those two to be in the finalists, or 224 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 4: you know that that group of three to meet up 225 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 4: in the finals. But the outright props Julio over Adolis 226 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 4: is twenty to one over Rosarin is third to one. 227 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 4: So I hit both of those as well, all. 228 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 2: Right, excellent. Why don't we you know, I just I 229 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 2: kind of laughed Whendbundo mentioned every foot counts. Like a 230 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 2: week ago everyone was betting on hot dog totals and 231 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 2: now we're betting on all runs. 232 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 3: It's just kind of you know. 233 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 2: Every foot does count. Moving on to the All Star 234 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 2: Game again games in cl as we know Tuesday night, 235 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 2: eight o'clock Eastern time, National League is the underdog in 236 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 2: the spot plus one o two on the money line 237 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 2: at FA. American League favorite at minus one twenty. We 238 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 2: know that the notable injuries. I mean, there's injuries both ways. 239 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 2: But American League no O Tani, no Aaron Judge, no 240 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 2: Mike Trout when on m Spiel on Friday about that 241 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 2: whole thing to Bundo, as you remember, but Zilla, how 242 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 2: do you look at this game with some key some 243 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 2: bigger names, like names that folks must see box box office, 244 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 2: as Steven A. Smith says, being out for this game. 245 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 4: Yes, So I project the National League's slight favorites here. 246 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 4: I made the minus one or two you could get 247 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 4: plus money on them right now. I bet them down 248 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 4: to plus one or two. You don't normally like for 249 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 4: a two percent edge on a typical baseball game here 250 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 4: a million toll over that price Starget two about one 251 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 4: percent even a half percent just have some action on 252 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 4: the Austar game. But I do make the National League 253 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 4: slave favorites in terms of how I project this game out. 254 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 4: The National League starters defensively are better than the American 255 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 4: League starters. The National League starters offensively are better than 256 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 4: the American League starters. The two benches are relatively comparable 257 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 4: both offensively and defensively, but I still lean with the 258 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 4: NL players position players. The one place that the American 259 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 4: League has a slight advantage is pitching. Projected the AL 260 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 4: e RA at about three forty eight, the NLRA at 261 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 4: about three sixty. Just in terms of where I have 262 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 4: roughly the runs per game offensively right against. You know, 263 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 4: if I was just a projectors out on an average 264 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 4: day in Seattle against the opposing pitching staff, I'd have 265 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 4: the NL scoring about four point two runs a game 266 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 4: and the AL scoring anywhere between three point eight and 267 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 4: four point one, depending if. 268 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 3: They were facing a righty or lefty. 269 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 4: So there's much more variance in the American League lineup 270 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 4: in terms of splits. I think the National League if 271 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 4: they are aggressive with their right handed pitcher usage, and 272 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 4: you know, play the matchups correctly. 273 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 3: They have Steal and Hater out there. Doesn't seem like 274 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 3: they have too many lefties though. It just looks like 275 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 3: those two. 276 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 4: So if they play the matchups correctly, get the lefties 277 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 4: in against the right lefties. On the other side, I 278 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 4: think the National League should have an advantage in terms 279 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 4: of their position player group. Mike Trout not being in 280 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 4: the All Star Game certainly hurts that. To agree for 281 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,839 Speaker 4: the American League, I believe the ALE also lost Aaron Judge, 282 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean two of the best when you 283 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 4: just like I modeled it out right, put all the 284 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 4: players in my model. But when you really think about it, 285 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 4: the advantage of that I give VNL over the ALE 286 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 4: offensively kind of come down to Mike Trout and Air 287 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 4: Judge not being available in the starting one up and 288 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 4: the two played appearances from each. The four plate appearance 289 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 4: is total out of your twenty seven outs that you're 290 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 4: gonna take away from those two guys. So yeah, I 291 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 4: do make the NL slight favorites. I think the biggest 292 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 4: fear for me making that bet is Felix Bautista coming 293 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 4: into a close game late, because you know that that 294 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 4: is an automatic shutdown inning for the American League. Felix 295 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 4: has been impossible to hit this year, setting strikeout records, 296 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 4: and I've started to see some ale Cy Young buzz 297 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 4: for Felix Bautista, and I really don't think it's getting 298 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 4: out of hand actually talking about it, because of how 299 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 4: ridiculous is his number are. But yeah, it's a free 300 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 4: shutdown inating for the al if it's a tight game late. 301 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 4: That's my my only concern really, because he's like a 302 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 4: you know, he's a free pass button for them if 303 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 4: they get the tight spot up. Other than that, I 304 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 4: think the National League has the advantages, and yeah, I 305 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 4: think the trout and judge injuries actually do have some impact. 306 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, so lefties for the American League are both starters, 307 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 2: McClanahan and Valdez. They have no lefties out of the pen, and. 308 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 4: McClanahan is mcclanahan's off the roster, so that's not even 309 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 4: a yeah, that's not even an issue. But yeah, there's like, 310 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 4: you know, there's some really bad pitchers potentially in this game, 311 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 4: like Michael Renzen, respectfully, like congratulate making the All Star 312 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 4: Game to Michael Renzon. I'm I'm happy he's having a 313 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 4: good year, but compared to the other guys on. 314 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 2: His team too. Sorry, yeah, so they're both out. 315 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, so that the American League pitching staff is 316 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 4: all right handed. 317 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 3: The NL has a couple of lefties. 318 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 4: That you know that is problematic for the NL the 319 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 4: ALE as well, you know, trying to play matchups against 320 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 4: you know, any left hand of bats on the n 321 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 4: A lineup, they don't really have the lefties to do it. 322 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 4: So yeah, I you know, intuitively that's an advantage too, 323 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 4: but I you know, I just want to mention, you know, 324 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 4: guys like Michael Renzen, Josiah Gray, these are guys who's 325 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 4: expected the Rays are closer to four and a half, 326 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 4: where everybody else pitching in this game is closer to 327 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 4: three and a half. So if one of Gray or 328 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 4: Lorensen comes in, that's a bit hairy because these are 329 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 4: guys who I don't think should be pitching this game. 330 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 4: Even Bryce Elder for the National League, you know, expected 331 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 4: Ray four and a half and got lit up a 332 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 4: little bit. 333 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 3: By the Rays yesterday. 334 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 4: So there's some arms in this game who if they 335 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 4: come in, I'm gonna be a little sketched out, especially 336 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 4: if I have DNL, you know, with Elder Josiah Gray. 337 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 4: But yeah, I would expect the managers to select their 338 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 4: most efficient arms and kind of save the guys who 339 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 4: are less effective for you know, emergency situations. 340 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 5: Interestingly enough, Elder pitched Sunday, so he's not eligible anymore, 341 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 5: and that's a huge benefit to the National League. 342 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 3: Yes, they lose. 343 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 5: Elder, they also lost Stroman, and not that I you know, 344 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 5: Marcus Stroman's having a great year and he's a good pitcher, 345 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 5: but I you know, generally think he's probably worse than 346 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 5: most of the guys that would come into the game 347 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 5: for the National League. So I actually think the National 348 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 5: League got a little bit of a boost getting Cobb 349 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 5: and Sanga in there for Elder and Stroman, because I 350 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 5: think you could argue that's that's an upgrade in both spots. 351 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 5: They do lose Spencer Strider, but now Corbyn Burns has 352 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 5: been picked, and Burns has looked like the Reds commented 353 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 5: that it was the best best stuff they've seen all 354 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 5: year on Friday after him shut them down. Uh, so, 355 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 5: you know, the National League did get a little bit 356 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 5: of a boost, and you mentioned it. No left handed arms, 357 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 5: I think is going to be a problem potentially for 358 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 5: the American League. That's the one thing that I noticed 359 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 5: as well. You're gonna have some pretty good right handed 360 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 5: bats or left handed bats in this National League lineup. 361 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 5: When you look at Freddie Freeman, Luisa Rise, Corby Carroll, 362 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 5: and then even off the bench like there's a bunch 363 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 5: of lefties they can go to, whether it's Ozzie h 364 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 5: and Soto. So there are some really really tough outs 365 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 5: for right eyes to get against lefties in that lineup. 366 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 5: So I also favored the Nation the League as well, 367 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 5: and would bet them at anything plus money too really quick. 368 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 2: Five of the last six All Star Games total has 369 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 2: gone seven or under. In the total tonight is seven 370 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 2: and a half. A part of me Tuesday night, it's 371 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 2: seven and a half. How do we feel about the total, Sorollo. 372 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm made at seven point three. 373 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 4: I would lean to the under park factor in Seattle 374 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 4: is about fourteen percent below the major league average, So 375 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 4: if you were playing in a league average park, this 376 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 4: total would be eight and a half. Because we're in 377 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 4: a pitcher's park, you see it at seven and a half. 378 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 4: You know, generally speaking with all the All Star Games, 379 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 4: I like to lean under because you're getting a new 380 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 4: picture ever inning, so you're not getting that second time 381 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 4: through the order, third time through the order splits that 382 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 4: you typically get. The managers have plenty of arms available, 383 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 4: so if any pitcher gets in trouble first and second 384 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 4: no out, you're immediately going to see somebody getting warm 385 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,400 Speaker 4: and looking to come in behind them. So yeah, there's 386 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 4: you know, almost no situation where you're going to have 387 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 4: a pitcher trying to pitch through trouble and you also 388 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 4: have all of these elite arms coming in on top 389 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 4: of it, maxing out for an inning, what have you. 390 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 4: So yeah, unless like one guy blows up, it's hard 391 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,360 Speaker 4: to imagine this total going over. 392 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,120 Speaker 3: It's you know, it's going to take one. 393 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 4: Pitcher in particular, completely imploding and probably getting left out 394 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 4: there too long to get this over, potentially going to extras. 395 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 4: I believe we'd have the runner on second base and extras. 396 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 4: So if this was three three going to extras, I'd 397 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 4: certainly be sweating. But beyond that, yeah, I always lean 398 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 4: under in the All Star Game, And if this got 399 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 4: to plus money, even minus one of five under seven, 400 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 4: I'd certainly bet it, but it looks like it's going 401 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 4: the other way, you know, towards minus one fifteen minus 402 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 4: one twenty, which I think is correct. 403 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, the candidate was to blow up with 404 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 2: Elder who pitched the other day. He's probably the one 405 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 2: guy based on how we've you know or not we 406 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 2: you have all most of you have bet against him 407 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 2: in his starts and then you know, three months later 408 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 2: in the first inning. 409 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 5: Go ahead to I think Gonsolin blew up last year, right, 410 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 5: And it was the same thing. We had a come 411 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 5: We had a co I remember mclana and gave up 412 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 5: a couple runs early, but then it was the American 413 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 5: League came back and it was Tony Gonsolin, who we 414 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 5: talked about all year was kind of like a fraud 415 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 5: All Star and what was good as his numbers? And 416 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,360 Speaker 5: he blew up in the All Star Game too, So yeah, 417 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 5: I mean, it's just really hard given the pitching quality, 418 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 5: especially since not every pitcher will get used, and you 419 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 5: have to think that Thompson and Baker know who the 420 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 5: worst guys on their lineups are and they're probably not 421 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,239 Speaker 5: gonna see the game in the In the situation, I'd 422 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 5: actually be curious. 423 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 3: You have to go back, like I'm looking at the 424 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 3: box score from last year. 425 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 4: Two runs on the bottom of the first, three runs 426 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 4: on the top of the fourth, no runs in any 427 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 4: other happening in the game. 428 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 3: I'm curious if you go under those. Yeah, yeah, exactly. 429 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 4: I'm curious if you go back through other iterations of 430 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 4: the All Star Game, especially the past few years, how 431 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 4: many half innings ended scoreless, right, Like, how many of 432 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 4: the runs were responsible to individual pitchers. I'd imagine it 433 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 4: was very few happenings where we had scoring. So, as 434 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 4: Anthony said, if you get a live under, if there's 435 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 4: a bunch of early scoring, we get a live under 436 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 4: nine and a half, certainly going to pounce on that. 437 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,120 Speaker 4: If I get a live under nine, gonna love that too. 438 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 4: You know, if it's getting closer to the middle of 439 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 4: the game and you can still get that live under 440 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 4: seven and a half and there's been some early scoring 441 00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 4: so it's two to one in the fourth inning, you 442 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 4: get that live on seven and a half. 443 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 3: Still, I think I'd be interested at that point. 444 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,360 Speaker 4: So yeah, you know, looking for live angles, But certainly 445 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 4: if I could get it over nine and a half, nine, 446 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 4: that's probably where my interest would be peaked right, just 447 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 4: in terms of MVP. I just wanted to talk real quick, 448 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 4: low scoring game, higher probability. 449 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 3: That a pitcher might get the awards. 450 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 4: So potentially the guys starting the game may go two innings. 451 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 4: You know, they're the only pitchers we're going to have 452 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 4: probably the ability to go two innings, and sometimes we 453 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 4: do see the manager run them out there for their 454 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 4: second inning. So take a look at the two starting 455 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 4: pitchers potential MVPs unless the managers confirm they're not going 456 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 4: more than one inning. The other thing I'll mention is 457 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 4: guys who are going to be starting and may get 458 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 4: that second or third plate appearance. You know, you typically 459 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 4: see the guys coming off the bench for the late inning, 460 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 4: seventh day to nine inning get one plate appearance. So 461 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 4: the guy like Lewis, a Rise who might hit second, 462 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 4: get three plate appearances because he's in there to hit, 463 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 4: he's not in there to field. I think might interest 464 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 4: me if a Rise goes two or three in a 465 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 4: low scoring game, he has a chance to get the awards. 466 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 3: So yeah, you know, a guy. 467 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 4: Who's high probability of putting the ball in play, I 468 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 4: think interests me and then maybe even a guy like 469 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 4: Corman Carroll who is likely to steel bases make some 470 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 4: good defensive plays. 471 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:08,880 Speaker 3: I think you might interest me as well. 472 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,640 Speaker 2: All right, excellent, Thank you all for tuning in. Again, 473 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 2: apologies for some not the greatest audio, but again, we're 474 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 2: all together in parts unknown trying to pull off this podcast. 475 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 2: So thanks for your patients. Payoff Pitch we're tuning into 476 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 2: the Action Network podcast.
