Speaker 1: I hate this place. Let's play ball.
Speaker 2: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros. This is Leading Off,
Speaker 2: brought to you by bet MGM. It is me, Joey
Speaker 2: p Joe Piezapia, That of course is Byron Buxton, I
Speaker 2: mean the Welsh, and it's you. And today we're talking
Speaker 2: all things baseball, as we always hear every single day
Speaker 2: noon eastern here on our Fantasy Pro's MLB channel. The
Speaker 2: Welsh and I are breaking it all down, fantasy fantasy baseball,
Speaker 2: regular baseball, betting baseball, DFS, baseball, basically, if it's got
Speaker 2: baseball in it, Welsh and I are going to talk
Speaker 2: about it. And Welsh, I don't think it's a coincidence
Speaker 2: that I took the last couple of days off. I
Speaker 2: was off on Sunday, took the kids on a little trip. Monday,
Speaker 2: stayed away. Byron boxing Buckson was very red hot those days.
Speaker 2: Everybody knows you're big Buckston guy, so I thought it
Speaker 2: might be safe to come back today. We'll see how
Speaker 2: it goes. But you gotta be loving life.
Speaker 1: So far, the Byron Buckson train is running on full speed.
Speaker 3: It's a good one.
Speaker 4: There are so many things to get and we will
Speaker 4: get wrong that when you can hold on to one
Speaker 4: of those really loud correct ones, it's very exciting. And
Speaker 4: I had my home run call yesterday was Buckston in
Speaker 4: honor of him. And I don't know if you saw
Speaker 4: he missed a homer by that much, by like an inch.
Speaker 4: He missed his fourth shot of the year, the league
Speaker 4: leader and what have put me in a tie for
Speaker 4: the home run call game that we play here. But yeah,
Speaker 4: Buxton looks red hot. And this is the point where
Speaker 4: we start crossing our fingers because now everybody get this
Speaker 4: happened like last year too. Everybody starts get in, oh
Speaker 4: my god, Byron Buckston, he's amazing, he's the best, and
Speaker 4: then il stint. So we've got to avoid the il
Speaker 4: stint here.
Speaker 3: For a couple of weeks. But like I said, looks
Speaker 3: like a first round talent right now.
Speaker 1: Tell me the greater number Byron Buckston home runs or
Speaker 1: days spent on the IL in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 4: Oh man, you're a brutal. I'm gonna say home runs
Speaker 4: because I'm an opohol. As an operating man show always, I.
Speaker 2: Am a pessimist, so I will go Actually, no, I'm
Speaker 2: not a pessimist. I'm an optimistic realist and I'm gonna
Speaker 2: say I l but I hope I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: I keep saying I hope I'm wrong.
Speaker 2: But if you've got a home run call tonight, you
Speaker 2: got to get into our discord chat and go ahead
Speaker 2: and drop that bad boy in there as well. I
Speaker 2: see we've got a couple people already at two again.
Speaker 2: I took a whole day off and you know this, Welsh.
Speaker 2: You know when you take a trip with your kids,
Speaker 2: that's what it's.
Speaker 1: It's a trip. It's not really vacation. You know.
Speaker 2: A vacation is someone bringing me cocktails on a beach,
Speaker 2: on a hammock somewhere.
Speaker 1: That's vacation.
Speaker 4: I've never had a vacation since I had children, like
Speaker 4: I've I've taken trips with my kids. I've taken them
Speaker 4: to San Diego and Lego Land, but I've never had
Speaker 4: a vacation ever.
Speaker 2: You and me this summer, Welsh, Joey p vacation. Maybe
Speaker 2: we'll bring bobbing with us to let him do pool boy.
Speaker 1: That'll be fun. All right. Let's kick things off here
Speaker 1: with some of the headlines.
Speaker 2: Alec Manoa shuts down the Yankees, six innings, pitch, no
Speaker 2: earned runs, seven k's, four walks, just like last year
Speaker 2: in that debut. The stage is never too big for
Speaker 2: alec Manoa. Another great start for him against the Yankees.
Speaker 2: That's huge too. I think those those confidence builders of
Speaker 2: those young pitchers against those division rivals. You know, you're
Speaker 2: gonna have a lot of starts against the Yankees this year,
Speaker 2: and I think that's very important that he feels confident.
Speaker 1: And that the Yankees don't. If the Blue Jays are
Speaker 1: gonna really win that division.
Speaker 2: Michael Lorenzen tosses six strong innings, it'll win over the
Speaker 2: Marlins in his Angels debut. Very exciting all these two
Speaker 2: way players. It's gonna be great waiting front of the
Speaker 2: coach's son to play shortstop after he pitches.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be awesome.
Speaker 2: Also, speaking of you know, personal things here, Taylor Rodgers
Speaker 2: earns the same for the Padres in a win over
Speaker 2: the Giants, and his twin brother, Tyler Rodgers takes the loss.
Speaker 1: Of the same game.
Speaker 2: So this is kind of tough if you're the parent here,
Speaker 2: what do you do? Whose phone call do you make first,
Speaker 2: Who do you text first?
Speaker 1: What do you do in this scenario, I.
Speaker 4: Don't know, like you know what when I find I
Speaker 4: know he's tougher. Is where like the kids are playing
Speaker 4: at the same time in important situations, where like they're
Speaker 4: playing like both playoff games and what and the parent
Speaker 4: having to choose, I think is the ultimate test, like, Eh,
Speaker 4: this isn't like that bad, Like this one is like,
Speaker 4: you know, sorry you lost. You chalk it up to
Speaker 4: the game Taylor Rogers gets to save.
Speaker 3: I think you.
Speaker 4: First call the one that lost, and then you call
Speaker 4: the winner after. But I think the real real test
Speaker 4: is the opposite end of that, where it's like two
Speaker 4: guys big playoff situations, they're not in the same Like
Speaker 4: if the Rays and Rangers were to make the playoffs
Speaker 4: and be playing different teams, what the low family would
Speaker 4: have to do between Nate and Josh.
Speaker 3: That's the real real test.
Speaker 1: Well, I think the real test is we need to
Speaker 1: have people stop naming their kids the same name, almost
Speaker 1: when they're twins too. Why why do people have to
Speaker 1: do that?
Speaker 2: They already look the same way that Taylor and Tyler
Speaker 2: and Jimmy and Timmy, Like.
Speaker 1: Why do you have to do this? Why can't we
Speaker 1: just name them completely opposite names. If you had twins,
Speaker 1: would you name them the same or sim names?
Speaker 4: No, No, I'm not like that, but like, do you
Speaker 4: remember Roger Clemens named all his kids with the name starting.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Kobe, Yeah, Ross yeah whatever.
Speaker 1: Can't stand that.
Speaker 2: Also, you should note all this for those Daily Transactions lineups.
Speaker 2: So off Boston's Trevor's story is out for Tuesday's game
Speaker 2: with an illness. Also, the White Sox rejected an offer
Speaker 2: apparently for Frankie Montas for our boy Andrew Vaughan. Now
Speaker 2: the caveat here is, of course, is a Bob of
Speaker 2: Nightingale story, So I don't know how much you want
Speaker 2: to believe in this. JP Barrosi and Nightingale don't usually
Speaker 2: get a lot of things right. But if this is true,
Speaker 2: and as any smoke to this, if I'm the White Sox,
Speaker 2: I'm doing whatever it takes to get Montas. You got
Speaker 2: Gelido on the shelf, you got lance Lit on the shelf.
Speaker 2: Montas is a fantastic starting pitcher.
Speaker 1: I'd be doing.
Speaker 2: I'm moving the heaven and the earth right now to
Speaker 2: get Frankie Montas if he is available, and we all
Speaker 2: know he is with the Oakland A's and I don't
Speaker 2: think Andrew Vaughn is too much of a price. If
Speaker 2: this theoretical trade was in play, would you make this
Speaker 2: if you were the White Sox.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 4: I don't think they've got see the problem is is
Speaker 4: like andre Von's bat's been pretty hot to start the year,
Speaker 4: but Luisa just doesn't seem like he's super locked in him.
Speaker 4: You know, I had reported back he was playing second base,
Speaker 4: which again I think maybe shows some of the versatility
Speaker 4: of him. But at the end of the day, like
Speaker 4: what are they holding back of Frankie Montas might be
Speaker 4: the piece that they need. This is a championship based team,
Speaker 4: They've got some flexibility roster wise. But they did just
Speaker 4: lose Pollock, which is a downer. They traded Zach Collins,
Speaker 4: you're kind of getting. You are getting down a little
Speaker 4: bit to the uh peven Smith of being able to
Speaker 4: move around. So I guess I understand the flexibility and
Speaker 4: maybe not wanting to give up on the back, but
Speaker 4: you're getting Frankie Montas, You're getting a guy that goes
Speaker 4: at the front of the rotation when you just lost Ugh.
Speaker 4: By the way, my Cy Young pick Giolito to the
Speaker 4: IL so it makes all the sense in the world
Speaker 4: to me for them to take it. It makes more
Speaker 4: sense that the Age would ask for that, because I
Speaker 4: saw a rumor that it was like it was like
Speaker 4: Peven Smith and some other pitching piece, and that just
Speaker 4: wouldn't do it.
Speaker 3: If I'm an A's fan.
Speaker 4: To me, it would be Andrew Vaughner Buss And I
Speaker 4: think this is one of those trades that helps and
Speaker 4: benefits everybody and makes all the sense in the world.
Speaker 4: So I'm a little surprised the White Sox aren't doing it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, let's see again. We'll know if it's true
Speaker 2: or not. Taiwan Walker started off good last night but
Speaker 2: then left. Now he's got a shoulder issue. So the
Speaker 2: knee was bothering him. Now he's a shoulder issue. This
Speaker 2: guy just can't catch a break Welsh. No matter what happens,
Speaker 2: it's going for an MRI on the shoulder, So hold
Speaker 2: your breath there. And sometimes when you have one problem,
Speaker 2: it ends up leading to somebody's mechanics getting off and
Speaker 2: something else hurting. So this is a terrible thing. Also
Speaker 2: might trout out with an illness as well. This is
Speaker 2: the opposite of Joe's tough guys. I think I got
Speaker 2: to talk about this because I was in Philadelphia. I
Speaker 2: wasn't there for the game. We were in Philadelphia. We
Speaker 2: were hung out for a couple of days, lots of cheese,
Speaker 2: steaks of Gino's Mets. Happened to be in town, but
Speaker 2: I did not go. So don't say I'm the Jinx,
Speaker 2: but Alec Boom apparently after a couple of hours a
Speaker 2: couple of errors yesterday in the game, could be heard
Speaker 2: mumbling under his breath, I effing hate this place, referring
Speaker 2: to Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: Well, let's correct.
Speaker 3: Two things here, Joe, Let's correct two things here. Yeah,
Speaker 3: three errors in an inning.
Speaker 4: And he wasn't seen mumbling. He was filmed walking over
Speaker 4: looking at a player as the crowd cheered because he
Speaker 4: actually made a throw. The crowd cheered, and then he
Speaker 4: was filmed looking at his teammate and mouthing, what you
Speaker 4: just said.
Speaker 3: And it's my favorite thing of the season.
Speaker 4: So far, because also he was asked about it and
Speaker 4: he committed to it, and he's like, yeah, I said
Speaker 4: that heat of the game. But the worst part was
Speaker 4: he then pushed off of his heel nature and then
Speaker 4: he was like these fans are just so great though,
Speaker 4: they just want to fans like no, dude, Like he
Speaker 4: came out, he was like, listen, it was the heat
Speaker 4: of the moment. We all want he should be like
Speaker 4: heat of the moment. We all want to win. I
Speaker 4: don't want to be booed. They don't want to see errors.
Speaker 3: We move on. That's how you do it. But he's like, ooh,
Speaker 3: the fins is so great. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: It's like, no, they're not great.
Speaker 1: Bo a clause.
Speaker 2: I lived there for six years during the height of
Speaker 2: the Donovan McNabb era, and there were more David Akers
Speaker 2: jerseys being worn on a regular basis than Donovan McNabb jerseys.
Speaker 2: It's a very difficulty.
Speaker 4: There's gonna be more Dura cells reaching first base than
Speaker 4: balls from him at third the next time.
Speaker 2: He's more to the point, this is and and although
Speaker 2: this is like a haha, funny thing we're talking about here,
Speaker 2: there is something to this and it's something that I
Speaker 2: will take a stand on it right now. If this
Speaker 2: is how this kid's going to be here in this scenario,
Speaker 2: him having success in Philadelphia is going to very hard
Speaker 2: to come by. He's gonna need a change of scenery.
Speaker 2: I can tell you right now, I'm not buying into
Speaker 2: him the rest of the season.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wait and see.
Speaker 2: Personally, I think he needs to I think this is
Speaker 2: a bad spot for him. If this is how it's
Speaker 2: gonna be. He needs to go to like southern California
Speaker 2: or something, or everything's just laid back and you know, you.
Speaker 3: Know, like a quiet, sleepy town. He needs to go to,
Speaker 3: like Kansas City.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you remember Joe Not to throw
Speaker 4: it back out, but this is Alec Bohm was my
Speaker 4: weirdest interview I've ever done of any like I was.
Speaker 3: I walked out and I.
Speaker 1: Was like, I that guy's weird.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: It was during the Arizona fallI a couple of years ago.
Speaker 4: It's on my Prospect one show fee if people want
Speaker 4: to listen to it. It's about eight minutes back in
Speaker 4: the locker room. It was odd from the top to bottom.
Speaker 4: He was super like about analytics, just everything you asked him.
Speaker 4: It was one of the more awkward and I got
Speaker 4: it shared in some other spots. So again, I think
Speaker 4: he's gotten better about that, but his personality just doesn't
Speaker 4: jive with Philadelphia and.
Speaker 1: I don't know they I don't want to watch him
Speaker 1: there anymore, or he's terrible, you can't stand watching him.
Speaker 3: Boom's terrible, Boom you get.
Speaker 2: Get some other John over there at third base. My god,
Speaker 2: he's awful. All right, there's my little Philly accent for you.
Speaker 2: All right, let's move on to some fun facts. Showy
Speaker 2: Otania and Michael Lorenzen both playing today. That was yesterday,
Speaker 2: and the Angels the first team with two two way
Speaker 2: players since I think it was nineteen fifty nine. They
Speaker 2: would put that out the Reds for the last one.
Speaker 2: Let's get to some stat Hero of the day Nick Martinez,
Speaker 2: a guy that I have in a lot of leagues
Speaker 2: where it's a mandatory RP spots because I just wanted
Speaker 2: to see what happens. Six innings, no decision against the Giants.
Speaker 2: He looked pretty good. Five and a third. Dylan Bundy
Speaker 2: only two strikeouts, but he did give up zero or
Speaker 2: should I say, didn't give.
Speaker 1: Up an earned run.
Speaker 2: Paul Blackman no earned run, seven k's over the Rays,
Speaker 2: so that one kind of came out of nowhere.
Speaker 1: Matt Manning two k's of his.
Speaker 2: Own, one earned run the hitters yesterday Haesus Sanchez having
Speaker 2: a good day with two bombs. Michael Franco hit a
Speaker 2: home run. He went four for five. Big day for Franco,
Speaker 2: three for three for Ben and Tendy with a dinger.
Speaker 2: Brandon Marsh another one of the big Angels prospects with
Speaker 2: a home run for RBI yesterday. Springer three for five
Speaker 2: with a home run. Stephen Kwan cannot be beat. Joe
Speaker 2: Adell shows signs of life with a home run himself,
Speaker 2: and of course Byron Buckston two doubles, a walk, two runs,
Speaker 2: and a partridge in a pear tree.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the.
Speaker 2: Quan because the Quan was a phenomenon over the weekend
Speaker 2: when we left on Friday together and I've been back
Speaker 2: to talk about him since.
Speaker 1: What do you make of the Quan?
Speaker 4: I mean, the Quan is everything that we've kind of
Speaker 4: talked about, at least I've talked about, and I think
Speaker 4: some of there's I gotta give shout out to my
Speaker 4: boy Eddie Allenngerff for Prospects Live. He was on the
Speaker 4: Stephen Kuan train quite some time ago. My problem has
Speaker 4: always been, I'm kind of just repeating myself, is that Kwan.
Speaker 3: I would like him to like Luisa.
Speaker 4: Rise or take his former college teammate Nick Madrigal, lots
Speaker 4: and lots of contact. You just are trying to find
Speaker 4: where are the counting stats? Now he looks like he's
Speaker 4: on another train and another plane of existence on how
Speaker 4: this guy is able to make contact. He also doesn't
Speaker 4: strike out, so like, I'm with that, and I think
Speaker 4: that opens up more possibilities. Like the problem with Nick
Speaker 4: Madrigal is he's also just not finding like fantastic contact.
Speaker 4: Luisa Rise actually did just run into a homer, and
Speaker 4: I think that's a prime example. I think though in
Speaker 4: all of the excitement of Stephen Kuan, there's the fantasy
Speaker 4: values in different league formats and stuff, and he's a
Speaker 4: no brain pick up if you had been sitting on him.
Speaker 4: I find it hard that his value will never be
Speaker 4: like this again, Like I find it hard that his
Speaker 4: value will ever be higher than it is at this moment.
Speaker 4: And I think because of overreactions that happened in the
Speaker 4: first week or two, it is the prime time to
Speaker 4: go and see what people will pay. I don't want
Speaker 4: to be the anti Kuon guy, because dude, he looks
Speaker 4: like one of the best hitters in all of baseball.
Speaker 4: I think I saw someone post a stat that he
Speaker 4: is tied or leads baseball in total bases and he
Speaker 4: doesn't have a homer. Like that's a wild thing to
Speaker 4: think about here, Like Byron Buxton obviously has I think
Speaker 4: that that was coming into last game. He has, you know,
Speaker 4: three homers, which would be twelve total bases. But he's
Speaker 4: gone off the walls. But I would be putting him
Speaker 4: out there to see what the crazies would pay for him.
Speaker 4: But I think he's a relative man saying he seems
Speaker 4: like the most prototypical number two hitter I've ever seen
Speaker 4: him in life.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, as you pointed out, as long as he
Speaker 2: keeps making contact, he can be useful. But you know,
Speaker 2: the idea of what his power ceiling is is obviously low.
Speaker 2: And we see this every year every April. You're in Mercedes.
Speaker 1: Last year, one of our Peanuts and Crackerjacks bade that mention.
Speaker 1: I remember who is the guy for the Astros a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago.
Speaker 2: Well remember he had a torrid April and then he
Speaker 2: disappeared into nowhere.
Speaker 4: I mean, there's always one of those guys. There's always
Speaker 4: a couple, Chris Sheldon ever send an inge. There's all
Speaker 4: those guys over the years that do that. I don't
Speaker 4: like to I don't like to say that Quan is
Speaker 4: going to be that because here's the difference. I think
Speaker 4: Quan will still be valuable. Where your Mercedes just disappeared
Speaker 4: and Yerman just went into a month of being able
Speaker 4: to make insane contact and then he just disappeared, Quan
Speaker 4: the difference would be like he just won't have his
Speaker 4: counting sets. He'll still hit, he'll still not strike out,
Speaker 4: but he might not make the impact.
Speaker 3: Everyone's excited right now.
Speaker 4: Because he had a three RBI triple. He hasn't struck out.
Speaker 4: He has lots of hits. But what happens when he
Speaker 4: gets back down to earth and he hits like right
Speaker 4: around three hundred or under and he's not getting RBI
Speaker 4: and he's not having those opportunities, You're just gonna realize, Like,
Speaker 4: as fun as this guy is, he's not Miles Straw,
Speaker 4: I'm not getting the stolen bases, and he's not Amed Rosario,
Speaker 4: who's now going to be moved to theoretical five when
Speaker 4: quantitting two and having RBI opportunities. So you know, like
Speaker 4: here here would be one right now? Who would you
Speaker 4: rather have rest of the season? I'm Ed Rosario or
Speaker 4: Stephen Kwan.
Speaker 1: Oh, probably Rosario. I mean I've just seen a lot
Speaker 1: more so I don't think that is like that, like
Speaker 1: that's a trade you can make.
Speaker 2: That's absolutely a trade you can make right now in
Speaker 2: a lot of leagues. All right, let's go with some
Speaker 2: of the hitters who are been some stat zeros lately.
Speaker 2: Bobby Witt, oh for four three ks. We had Boba
Speaker 2: Schett over five with three ks. Oh no, this guy's
Speaker 2: following Bryce Harper over three three strikeouts of his own.
Speaker 2: So laer Austin Riley Chapman all oh for four to
Speaker 2: three k's hitters are a little behind right now. I
Speaker 2: and what what's it? One for fourteen now with seven
Speaker 2: strikeouts for Julio Rodriguez by Julio Bye, Bobby wit don't
Speaker 2: just don't. It's been a week almost. Oh, it's likely
Speaker 2: you haven't been a week yet. Just go get him,
Speaker 2: get him now.
Speaker 1: People are freaking out, especially people overpaid. Go make a move.
Speaker 1: This is your time.
Speaker 2: Ranger Swars, by the way, yesterday also a stat zero
Speaker 2: five hits, one k no decision against the Mets only
Speaker 2: two innings, and hu Oscar Youanoah also gave up seven hits,
Speaker 2: four k's there and a loss to the Nats. I
Speaker 2: want to move on to the home run calls. We
Speaker 2: were cold apparently on home run calls yesterday. Three for
Speaker 2: seventy eight is a group. What's going on? Peanuts and
Speaker 2: the cracker Jacks. I'm used to like a fifty percent range.
Speaker 2: I think it's because I wasn't here. People were lost,
Speaker 2: and that's okay. The Lomer boy got Connor, Joe mo
Speaker 2: Betts got George Springer, and Waking Life got hobby or Bias, which,
Speaker 2: by the way, that Bias shot Holy crap.
Speaker 1: Last night I saw that one whoa a monstrous.
Speaker 4: Hots a classical hobby Homer by the way, too, where
Speaker 4: it's just good goo gone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, as soon as the as soon as he touches it,
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's out. I'm not going to read
Speaker 1: the leaderboard yet because everybody's at two.
Speaker 2: So when somebody starts to pull away, I see some
Speaker 2: people at the top right now, and I one's got
Speaker 2: to I haven't gotten on the board yet. My home
Speaker 2: run gone Welsh is a little later on first, I

Speaker 2: Com, slash Chat, and the Discord channel to find it
Speaker 2: and go become a premium member so you can get
Speaker 2: into that specific room today. I actually like the total
Speaker 2: bases over on Byron Buxton right now, he's at one
Speaker 2: and a half. They haven't projected over Fantasy Pro's at
Speaker 2: three point five Zach Wheeler earned runs. I like this
Speaker 2: one too. This is set at one and a half.
Speaker 2: We've got this at two six', two so there's a
Speaker 2: nice variance. There Hori polanco is a really good matchup.
Speaker 2: Today he's at one and a half on the total.
Speaker 2: Basis those are all BET mgm lines as well as
Speaker 2: we're looking at and that's projected at two six to.
Speaker 2: Two so nice variance there With Hory. Polanco and then
Speaker 2: the last ONE i like is over ON dk which
Speaker 2: Is Aaron judge total bases at one and a. HALF
Speaker 2: i like this matchup Against kakouchie today that they've got So,
Speaker 2: Polonco judge And buxton over on the total, bases and
Speaker 2: THEN i Like Zach wheeler on the earned. Runs anything
Speaker 2: for you that stands out, Here.
Speaker 4: WELSH i really like the last, one The judge one you,
Speaker 4: SAID i would, SAY i kind of like The Kyle
Speaker 4: schwarber over total bases and it's actually plus money on
Speaker 4: DraftKings right. Now AND i know he's going up against Ty,
Speaker 4: lord but leading off is just a great spot for
Speaker 4: more at, bats AND i like the total base. MARKER
Speaker 4: i also like kind of jumping on what you were
Speaker 4: doing with the earn. RUNS i kind of like The
Speaker 4: Tyler molly earned runs against The Guardians guardians offense at the,
Speaker 4: top you've Got, Kwon you've Got straw, obviously you've Got
Speaker 4: ramirez And. Reyes so it's one and a. Half it's
Speaker 4: like minus one sixty, ONE i think is the best
Speaker 4: market you can get on BET.
Speaker 3: Mgm SO i like that one as.
Speaker 4: Well and this is a little bit more of a
Speaker 4: shot out of the dark, here BUT i kind of
Speaker 4: like Seth beer total. Basis it's only at a, half
Speaker 4: so you need one on, base one hit and it's
Speaker 4: minus one twenty five and he's going up against his
Speaker 4: old team that drafted, him The Houston. Astros so Seth
Speaker 4: beer total bases at a half Over Tyler molly earned
Speaker 4: runs over at one and a half And Kyle schwarber
Speaker 4: over total bases at plus.
Speaker 3: Money ON dk at one and a. Half those are
Speaker 3: the ONES i like.
Speaker 2: Now today's pitching matchups are a little. Weird they're a little,
Speaker 2: wonky if you. Will in honor of The, penguin we've
Speaker 2: got in the main slate tonight at seven oh, five
Speaker 2: we got The brewers and The. Orioles, again this is
Speaker 2: a tough game to, gauge and of course you've got
Speaker 2: The Toronto Blue jays and The. Yankees everyone's gonna have
Speaker 2: a lot of attention on that. ONE i think that's
Speaker 2: kind of the game quote unquote of the Night mets
Speaker 2: And phillies with Ty lord this afternoon obviously another.
Speaker 1: One but some.
Speaker 2: Strange, pitching see a lot of haves and have nots
Speaker 2: because of that time where the rotations start to turn
Speaker 2: over a little. Bit so you do have like A
Speaker 2: U darvish on the slate, today but you've also, got you,
Speaker 2: know some lower tier, pitching so it's gonna be a
Speaker 2: weird slate in terms of.
Speaker 1: Offense so from A dfs.
Speaker 2: Standpoint to, day you Got Hazus lozardo at seven point
Speaker 2: three going against The angels seven point one ON, fandals
Speaker 2: seven to three ON. DK i like THE appo play
Speaker 2: here against The. ANGELS i think a lot of people
Speaker 2: on the sand of all. Side so if you're playing tournaments,
Speaker 2: TONIGHT i think Hazus lozardo can he carry over what
Speaker 2: he was doing in, spring and if.
Speaker 1: He, can there's a real chance to. Separate especially ON.
Speaker 2: Dk he's a really nicely priced secondary Arms garcia nine
Speaker 2: point four ON, dk eight point six On. FanDuel i
Speaker 2: think he's a really good cash game value play on,
Speaker 2: FanDuel especially without a lot of guys there. TONIGHT i
Speaker 2: think he's a good win, equity good quality start equity
Speaker 2: against The diamondbacks And Bumgarner darvish is that one chalky
Speaker 2: pay up.
Speaker 1: Guy but that's okay to do. That ten point, one.
Speaker 2: Ok nine point, Seven but once, again if you want
Speaker 2: to go THE opa, way he's going Against Alex, cobb
Speaker 2: who's at a very good pre trading, himself and The
Speaker 2: cob play is just SEVEN k ON dk seven to
Speaker 2: six on. FanDuel so is a very simple main slate
Speaker 2: to me, Tonight, welsh it's The chalky you darbish is
Speaker 2: fine to. PLAY i would go THE opa With Jesus,
Speaker 2: zardo the cheap kind. OF i think best value play
Speaker 2: Is garcia, clearly and Then Alex cobb is another one
Speaker 2: of THOSE opo. Plays so if you're playing, tournaments you
Speaker 2: Put lozardo In cobb together and they both get wins,
Speaker 2: tonight that could be a really good night for you
Speaker 2: in a. Tournament BUT i Think garcia and one of
Speaker 2: them might be a better safer, floor if you know
Speaker 2: WHAT i.
Speaker 4: MEAN i was about to, say LIKE i really like
Speaker 4: the cob one and also on prop, bets IF i
Speaker 4: could have got his strikeouts at three and a, HALF
Speaker 4: i would have jumped on. It it's at four and a,
Speaker 4: half but it's plus, money something to watch for as
Speaker 4: he had an uptick in velocity in. Preseason, yeah SO
Speaker 4: i kind of like. That BUT i love The Garcia
Speaker 4: lozardo play because The. Diamondbacks you have to stack against
Speaker 4: The diamondbacks whenever you, can whatever pitcher's playing. THEM i
Speaker 4: would Go Luis, garcia AND i like the upside play
Speaker 4: Of lozardo with that huge, Uptick SO i would definitely
Speaker 4: put those two.
Speaker 2: Together, well you also know everybody's just gonna See marlins
Speaker 2: And angels and, go, oh let's go to the Sand offall.
Speaker 2: SIDE i don't want to do. THAT i don't think
Speaker 2: you can make any money that. WAY i think you'renna
Speaker 2: make a lot more money on The lozardo side of this.
Speaker 2: Game and if it doesn't, work it doesn't. Work that's
Speaker 2: why it's a tournament play. Game stacks. Tonight like The,
Speaker 2: dodgers that's an easy. One The New York yankees Against,
Speaker 2: kakuchi the lefty In New, york AND i like The Houston.
Speaker 2: Astros as we're talking about, before we gotta gotta go
Speaker 2: troll Those. Diamondbacks lineup builders, today get your pens and pencils,
Speaker 2: out boys and girls On. DraftKings you Got Trey mancinia
Speaker 2: two point, nine still gonna go back to The bobby
Speaker 2: Wit well two point.
Speaker 1: Three he's super.
Speaker 2: Cheap eventually he's gonna, hit and the ownership percentage gets
Speaker 2: less and less every single bad game he, has which
Speaker 2: is great because eventually he's gonna have a huge return
Speaker 2: day at a two point three salary and you're gonna
Speaker 2: love him for.
Speaker 1: It Jeremy payne has a two point. TWO i don't know.
Speaker 2: HOW i don't know why he's hitting. Two he's two point.
Speaker 2: Two get him in your lineup twice if you, can
Speaker 2: but you.
Speaker 1: Can't, sorry all.
Speaker 2: Right Connor joe also three point one ON dk at
Speaker 2: the top of that. ORDER i like that when he
Speaker 2: had a good night last. Night FanDuel Guys Man seni
Speaker 2: again at two, Seven donaldson at the top of the
Speaker 2: order three point. Two hazer z Aguilar are two point
Speaker 2: two is very. Cheap Joe adele coming off a good
Speaker 2: night two point, Three Josh bell two point, Eight Bobby
Speaker 2: witt two point, Five Connor joe at two, eight And
Speaker 2: Jeremy payne again at two point. Three the Early FanDuel
Speaker 2: is always gonna be very, loose especially with the younger
Speaker 2: players Like, paynia Like. Adele keep on riding. This you
Speaker 2: saw if you stuck With, adele you got paid out
Speaker 2: right last. NIGHT i want to practice patients With Bobby
Speaker 2: witt and THE dfs world. Too don't go freaking.
Speaker 1: Out it's.
Speaker 2: Cheap now's the time to get in on. It there's
Speaker 2: just less Risk so that's How i'm looking. At anybody stand
Speaker 2: out to you these Lineup, Felders, WELSH.
Speaker 3: I like keep playing The Bobby witt.
Speaker 4: One, Also i'm a little tenuous About Jeremy, penia just
Speaker 4: BECAUSE i like the pitcher versus The, diamondbacks maybe not
Speaker 4: quite as much as the hitters versus The diamondbacks That
Speaker 4: i'm paying crazy, on BECAUSE i THINK i believe It's
Speaker 4: bumgarner that's going.
Speaker 3: Tonight it was supposed to Be Zach. Gallen he got.
Speaker 4: Scratched bumgarner looked pretty, decent AND i feel like he
Speaker 4: could put some moves on a young guy Like Jeremy.
Speaker 4: Pinia BUT i like The Bobby witt, play AND i
Speaker 4: like The Connor joe. Play you, Know Connor joe still,
Speaker 4: rock SO i like that.
Speaker 2: One getting it done all, right here you. Go this
Speaker 2: must be your. Cousin joel wants to know SHOULD i
Speaker 2: Trade Bryce harper to get fire And?
Speaker 1: Busted?
Speaker 2: NOW i will say, this if you can Get, buston
Speaker 2: PLUS i can Get buston and a.
Speaker 1: Pitcher, MAYBE i don't. KNOW i, mean it depends on.
Speaker 3: You you gotta get Bust in. Real. Plus this is
Speaker 3: not a.
Speaker 4: PLUS i, MEAN i LIKE i can be, dumb But
Speaker 4: i'm not. Silly i'm not as big old silly goose
Speaker 4: That i'm gonna make trades like this regardless of me
Speaker 4: Loving byron Bucks it or, not those are not the
Speaker 4: type of trades that you. Make you don't trade absolute
Speaker 4: superstars to get guys that are. Hot, frankly if the
Speaker 4: other guy sent that, trade we would be, like, dude
Speaker 4: you take advantage of this all day every. Day Because
Speaker 4: Bryce harper is what like cooled off a little bit
Speaker 4: in the beginning of the, year And Byron buxton is.
Speaker 3: Hot.
Speaker 4: Now you don't make that trade, unless Like joe, said
Speaker 4: you get like a solid addition To, buckston not like
Speaker 4: some little tiny.
Speaker 2: Thing what would What i'm just HERE i was gonna,
Speaker 2: say Would Alec manoa And bucks didn't do it FOR.
Speaker 3: I, mean now we're, talking BUT i gotta be honest with.
Speaker 3: YOU i still don't THINK i do.
Speaker 2: It, okay all, Right i'm just trying to, think what
Speaker 2: about what about what about Uh Alex bregman off the
Speaker 2: hot streak right?
Speaker 3: Now Or?
Speaker 4: Harper, YEAH i mean especially if you had some if
Speaker 4: you had like you, know gee Or schela is like
Speaker 4: your third basement or something like that and you.
Speaker 3: Had to fill that. Spot, YEAH i would see.
Speaker 4: That like, LISTEN i Love Byron buckston more than all of,
Speaker 4: you all of you that he's my. Calls but the
Speaker 4: inherent problem is everything that you guys talk about is
Speaker 4: there's an there's an injury prone problem out. There Bryce
Speaker 4: harper is a PERENNIAL mvp. CANDIDATE i put a futures
Speaker 4: bet on him FOR mvp again this, year SO i
Speaker 4: still have a strong. Belief so to trade one guy
Speaker 4: who's playing up to trade one guy who hasn't met
Speaker 4: their you, know their ideal range yet for this, year
Speaker 4: when that other guy is already a top you know eight,
Speaker 4: player that's just not the Main you're just taking on
Speaker 4: so much risk for what you, know for what maybe
Speaker 4: a couple more stolen.
Speaker 3: Bases, na, no.
Speaker 2: No and also shout out To Scott bogman is absolutely
Speaker 2: in order and bogs me back again On. FRIDAY i
