Speaker 1: I love gold Schmidt. Let's play ball. Welcome in everybody
Speaker 1: to Fantasy pros. This is leading Off, brought to you
Speaker 1: by bet MGM, the King of sports Books. It's me
Speaker 1: Joey p Joe. Pi's appia with me today again. Back
Speaker 1: is the Welsh and it's you, the Peanuts, the Cracker Jacks,
Speaker 1: the Randos.
Speaker 2: Hi, Randos, Hi, how are you doing?
Speaker 1: Hey? Oh my goodness, gracious yesterday all these look see
Speaker 1: see the team Randos. See look there's doctor Glenn started
Speaker 1: to lester. Everybody's Team Rando today, Go cards, Team Rando.
Speaker 1: Rando's make the world go round Welsh. That's what they do.
Speaker 3: Listen, we wouldn't have what we have without Randos. So
Speaker 3: we we've listen. How good would a video game be
Speaker 3: if there weren't random not whatever characters just walking around
Speaker 3: the streets that you could potentially run over you're playing
Speaker 3: GTA or you just talked to for a side mission.
Speaker 3: You gotta have side mission Randos. So congratulations to everybody.
Speaker 1: You can be a side mission Randos. There you go.
Speaker 1: We love all of you. We're happy that you're here
Speaker 1: with us, hanging out talking to baseball today. A lot
Speaker 1: of baseball to get to Let's start with another man
Speaker 1: with a glorious mustache, shall we watched Let's start with
Speaker 1: Miles Micholas one out Shy of the no hitter on strikes.
Speaker 1: Shy just is crushing. He's terrible.
Speaker 2: But he said, he's like, it sucks. It kind of sucks.
Speaker 1: Not after Yeah, well, I remember in the eighties that's
Speaker 1: happened to Dave Steve on multiple occasions. I want to
Speaker 1: say he was within a strike twice or two outs
Speaker 1: twice in his career for a no hitter. Both times
Speaker 1: didn't get it. I think he did get a no
Speaker 1: hitter at some point in time, but there were two
Speaker 1: times where he did not. He was one of the
Speaker 1: more underrated pictures of the eighties. But Micholas, look, he
Speaker 1: has been absolutely spectacular this year. And you know you
Speaker 1: are getting Jack Flaherty back today for the Cardinals. That's
Speaker 1: that's a big addition into this team, to the starting rotation. Now,
Speaker 1: if you're the Cardinals, you've got Miles Miiglass, You've got
Speaker 1: Adam Waynwright, You've got Flaherty back. You've got a chance
Speaker 1: to compete right now for this division long term. And
Speaker 1: they've already overtaken the Brewers. We'll see how long they
Speaker 1: can hold that spot. But he has been a revelation
Speaker 1: as a player. I have no shares of I'm just
Speaker 1: curious what's your take on his performance this year, because
Speaker 1: it has been nothing short of outstanding. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I actually have a decent amount of shares because it's
Speaker 3: just one of those cheap guys that you're able to
Speaker 3: you know, you're able to get in for back end
Speaker 3: of rotation stuff. You know, the strikeouts have never been there,
Speaker 3: but he's obviously become a completely different pitcher since you know,
Speaker 3: he came back over Stateside a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3: I don't think this is like a lynch pin to
Speaker 3: your offense type of guy or anything like that. I mean,
Speaker 3: like I said, the strikeouts have never been immaculate, but
Speaker 3: he's going deep in the games.
Speaker 2: We're seeing more of those guys. We're seeing more of
Speaker 2: those guys. You get eleven.
Speaker 1: Pictures pitchers, guys who pitch having success and being a frigation,
Speaker 1: not trying to strike out everybody pitching.
Speaker 3: It is odd that it's like old school baseball and
Speaker 3: just looking you know, at that performance this, I mean,
Speaker 3: you just don't see this that often. He had four
Speaker 3: different pitches that were double digit in percentile, and he
Speaker 3: was one percent away from having four different pitches be
Speaker 3: twenty percent of his repertoire. So I mean, like that
Speaker 3: is relatively incredible. I would throw out there too that
Speaker 3: that you know, the guy doesn't have the biggest stuff
Speaker 3: in the world. I think he was as I'm looking here.
Speaker 3: He did hit ninety six on the fastball, averaging around
Speaker 3: ninety three, same with the sinker, and he almost as
Speaker 3: a twenty mile pro hoor deviation between his lowest pitch,
Speaker 3: which is his curveball, and the highest on the fastball.
Speaker 3: You take that type of stuff with okay, spin you take,
Speaker 3: and you take four different pitches. You're mixing up you
Speaker 3: getting great results. Cardinals are wizards with what they do
Speaker 3: with pitchers. You have an incredible offense and defense that's
Speaker 3: around you as well. The Cardinals are the perfect recipe
Speaker 3: for success for even the middle line pitcher.
Speaker 1: And well, and yati or Molina has a lot to
Speaker 1: do with that. So he's all right, I forget about
Speaker 1: that boy. He's pretty good at baseball. Wilson Contreras is
Speaker 1: pretty good too. He went deep twice yesterday in a
Speaker 1: loss Luke Voight. I drove in five guys and it
Speaker 1: went over the Cubs. Remember yesterday, I was a little
Speaker 1: sketch on Manaya, Like I'm glad I was sketch on Manaya.
Speaker 1: I was not sketched on Gonsolin. He goes to eight
Speaker 1: to oh and went over the Angels. Look, I know
Speaker 1: it's it's sunshine and roses right now for Gonsolin. It look,
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be. He's not gonna be twenty and one.
Speaker 1: This is not gonna happen. Like, it's not gonna happen.
Speaker 1: It's going to come back around at some point. Chris
Speaker 1: Bassett spends eight shutout innings to win on Tuesday. Fun
Speaker 1: fact here, nobody has had more shutouts so far this
Speaker 1: year than the Mets. So that's a very interesting thing.
Speaker 1: That's telling you that they've got good defense, bullpen, starting, pitching, offense,
Speaker 1: the whole nine. Tyler Molly was one of our favorite
Speaker 1: pitchers yesterday. I told you he's been on a really
Speaker 1: good streak. He is pitching his way out of Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: He can help somebody. No decision, but twelve strikeouts, so
Speaker 1: really good. Nine shoutout innings for him. Zach Daniels.
Speaker 3: That was a perfect matchup, by the way, just throwing
Speaker 3: out with the diamond perfect matchup against the Diamondbacks, and
Speaker 3: he is underlying one of those guys even when he
Speaker 3: had like a six era, one of those guys that
Speaker 3: you wanted to make sure you got because all the
Speaker 3: Enderlanting strike cup measures there. He had eighteen swing and
Speaker 3: missus yesterday in that matchup, which you know, again pitching
Speaker 3: your way out. He will be one of those guys.
Speaker 3: He has very Joe Musgrove esque to me. It's like,
Speaker 3: get him out, put him on a good team, and
Speaker 3: all of a sudden he really has a chance to
Speaker 3: be elite if he can put it together a nightly basis.
Speaker 3: But he did face the Diamondbacks, who are strikeout machines.
Speaker 1: But yeah, come on, oh look it is and Zach
Speaker 1: Davies at the Diamondbacks, Bobbin's favorite pitcher went seven scorels
Speaker 1: sittings Logan Web struck out nine. It was good to
Speaker 1: see him have a solid outing, a really strong like
Speaker 1: I think everybody kind of needed a big Logan Web outing,
Speaker 1: so this was very good. Hazer's Agilar went Dong twice,
Speaker 1: Reyese Hoskins two home runs. That's who Bogmin picked yesterday.
Speaker 1: I believe Mayor picked him as well, So there you go. Also,
Speaker 1: the Boston Red Sox are going to be recalling Jared
Speaker 1: Duran and Corey Kaniebel will be pitching in lower leverage
Speaker 1: situations for the Phillies. Welsh, what do you make of this?
Speaker 1: I don't like that.
Speaker 2: Bridge, don't like that at all.
Speaker 3: My shares hate that. That's like nice speak for being like, well,
Speaker 3: you suck. You're out of the role and we can't
Speaker 3: put you in anything that's important. So we're gonna put
Speaker 3: you at the kids table. You're gonna the kids table
Speaker 3: in the sixth inning. Maybe we're down by six runs,
Speaker 3: that's where we're gonna go. That's not a good place
Speaker 3: to be.
Speaker 2: And because now we're now we're back into this rotating
Speaker 2: chair of again. We talked about trades so much.
Speaker 3: Philly would be in a great spot to just go
Speaker 3: get somebody locked down, you know, if they're not going
Speaker 3: to develop somebody or you know, maybe they they simply do.
Speaker 1: Exactly or Welsh, I mean, realistically, what what closers are
Speaker 1: out there available on the market that they could add
Speaker 1: on bad teams right now? And who's who's good enough
Speaker 1: to add.
Speaker 3: As David Bednar, Dave Bennar would be the number one.
Speaker 3: Darn Arwood Pirates, who's absolute they're trash and but it
Speaker 3: would take probably a king's ransom. But I if I'm
Speaker 3: a heavy competitive team and I don't have a steady,
Speaker 3: especially closer on my bullpen, they should go all out.
Speaker 2: They should pay the price of what it takes to get.
Speaker 3: A guy like that David Bednar on the Phillies. Listen,
Speaker 3: David Bednar has been awesome.
Speaker 2: This year and he's done on the Pirates. If you
Speaker 2: put Bednar.
Speaker 3: On the Phillies, on that type of team, you would
Speaker 3: probably have Bednar as a top five closer at first.
Speaker 3: I think at this point maybe not any maybe not better.
Speaker 3: So uh yeah, I think they should absolutely go to
Speaker 3: any team that does not have solidified closing that is
Speaker 3: a high end playoff team should be in Philly. That's
Speaker 3: not what you want to hear. This is not especially
Speaker 3: with the manager stuff. And you know a Harper tapered
Speaker 3: back a little bit like you want you want to roll,
Speaker 3: you want to roll, and they need to do that.
Speaker 1: Oh says Milanson's available.
Speaker 2: I was, I mean, I don't want to say it.
Speaker 2: Like on Obagman's line here, I didn't want.
Speaker 1: To say this is another guy. Mister Buster brings up Gregory.
Speaker 1: Soto's been great. I just don't think the Tigers want
Speaker 1: to deal him necessarily. I don't see them.
Speaker 2: But see I don't think and that's the problem.
Speaker 3: None of the even the loser of loser teams, they
Speaker 3: don't want to move these younger, controllable closers, right, but
Speaker 3: they understand that these are the assets and it's got
Speaker 3: to be a king's ransom. And what's interesting is the
Speaker 3: market has kind of moved a little bit into understanding
Speaker 3: you have to pay crazy prices for closers at this
Speaker 3: point unless teams are just willing to continuously develop, if
Speaker 3: they want to develop some of their other arms that
Speaker 3: they got starting pitchers that aren't working, and they want
Speaker 3: to do like how Boston was doing with how that's
Speaker 3: what you got to do. But Philly's not doing that,
Speaker 3: and Kennebel being out is bad news.
Speaker 1: In a bigger meta conversation, you know, Bedner, I don't
Speaker 1: have any Bendner's shares, but I do have Soto shares everywhere.
Speaker 1: And this was my whole thing to shares like I'm
Speaker 1: not paying Yeah, I know you were at the very
Speaker 1: other end of the spectrum paying for closer. I have not.
Speaker 1: I just I refuse to do it now at this point.
Speaker 1: And I'm just looking for the guys that I think
Speaker 1: are are more likely to just keep the job by default,
Speaker 1: and maybe they'll pleasantly surprise you and pitch well for
Speaker 1: a bad And Sodo's like the poster child for that
Speaker 1: strategy working out this year. He's been outstanding. All right,
Speaker 1: let's go to some of the injury nos. There's a
Speaker 1: lot to get to on here. Today he engine Rio
Speaker 1: out for the year officially with the elbow that is
Speaker 1: now official done. We knew it was coming. There you go.
Speaker 1: Wah wah wah. Anthony Rendon is aggravated his wrist again.
Speaker 1: For Anthony Rendel Man, I just feel terrible. FI guy
Speaker 1: can't stay on the field. Also, Astros had to place
Speaker 1: your boy Jeremy Penya on the injured list with a
Speaker 1: thumb issue. And a little bit of a bad news
Speaker 1: here for all of us who have investments in Fernando
Speaker 1: Teptis Junior. He has not been clear to resume swinging
Speaker 1: the bat yet. I guess the latest round of the
Speaker 1: imaging said that it hadn't healed to the point where
Speaker 1: they feel comfortable with that activity. So what was looking
Speaker 1: like things were progressing at a faster clip, Maybe have
Speaker 1: to slow down a little bit. So my guess is
Speaker 1: some time after the All Star break would be what what?
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's liking it right? Yeah, I
Speaker 2: don't have his bad news. I didn't necessarily look at
Speaker 2: it like it's.
Speaker 1: I guess it's not bad news. It's not the trajectory
Speaker 1: was starting to go in the early since now it's
Speaker 1: not so now yeah, because he's like a freak.
Speaker 3: He's a freak, and how in his recovery times and stuff.
Speaker 3: So I think when you saw, okay, he's gonna have imaging.
Speaker 3: He's been out there, here we go. But they just
Speaker 3: said it hasn't healed to the point they're taking it.
Speaker 2: Week by week.
Speaker 3: I will say, there's video out there that he was
Speaker 3: actually taking full on grounders in field stuff. Not anything insane,
Speaker 3: but you know, he was able to take the grounders
Speaker 3: do full throws. They had said he was doing it
Speaker 3: the other day and all he was simply doing was
Speaker 3: just taking the grounders and nothing else. This was like
Speaker 3: full on boom boom, get the ball, turn it back
Speaker 3: and throw. I think that's a really good sign. When
Speaker 3: they give him the go, he's going to fly. I
Speaker 3: don't think this is going to be a situation where
Speaker 3: they're like, all right, so go to complex, go to rookie.
Speaker 3: Now it's a ball, it's go to double. It's like, no,
Speaker 3: dude's been with the team the whole time. I wouldn't
Speaker 3: I honestly would not even be shocked if they're like,
Speaker 3: now we're not gonna even do a rehab stant We're
Speaker 3: just gonna put him out there. I really, really truly
Speaker 3: believe it would be crazy because of the time he's missed.
Speaker 3: But I don't know if it is that that you've
Speaker 3: got the All Star Game about a week away, about
Speaker 3: a month away. Not a week that'd be great, about
Speaker 3: a month away. I still kind of feel like it's
Speaker 3: going to be an after All Star break type of thing.
Speaker 3: But he's got to get some positive signs if that's
Speaker 3: going to happen.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, he does. Frustrating because he's such as
Speaker 1: such a great talent, he's so fun to watch, and
Speaker 1: cannot have him on the field. It's tough, plus puts
Speaker 1: the Padres in this mad spot too. I think they
Speaker 1: were getting anxious to say, Okay, maybe we're ahead of schedule.
Speaker 1: Now we're not. Don't be surprised if they don't make
Speaker 1: a move for somebody. They need some more offense on
Speaker 1: that coler To. You think I mean, and he's an
Speaker 1: aggressive GM, you're one hundred percent right. All right, let's
Speaker 1: get to can we talk about this and let's talk
Speaker 1: about Bob Nightingale who tweeted Atlanta has well, you know
Speaker 1: we'll talk about his tweet. Yeah, Atlanta has pulverized the
Speaker 1: opposition ninety two to thirty nine in his last thirteen
Speaker 1: games that they won with a two seven eight ERA,
Speaker 1: leading all baseball with thirty two home runs. Now they've
Speaker 1: lost Albi's but still Welsh. He will eventually heal and
Speaker 1: come back. We talked a little bit yesterday just about
Speaker 1: like the win total of Braves, But today I want
Speaker 1: to talk about something else, which is their odds to
Speaker 1: win the National League, which is plus seven hundred. They
Speaker 1: are the defending champions. They are going to get Soroka back.
Speaker 1: They have that great pitching from Freed and Kyle Wright.
Speaker 1: They I mean obviously, you know, Kunya, Riley Olsen healthy,
Speaker 1: Albi's At some point, are we sleeping on the Braves
Speaker 1: a little bit? You know, all we talked about is
Speaker 1: the Mets and the Dodgers in the National League, and
Speaker 1: those guys are we're talking about plus two twenty and
Speaker 1: the consensus of betting pros plus three fifty for the Mets,
Speaker 1: plus two twenty for the Dodgers. That's the consensus line.
Speaker 1: But the Braves, the Braves that are still seven to one.
Speaker 1: That's a really solid number for a smaller investment. Do
Speaker 1: you agree?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I was. I was preseason Braves.
Speaker 3: I didn't think the Mets were going to be as
Speaker 3: good as they are five games back, so, like you know,
Speaker 3: you have Philly underperformed. We just talked about Philly and
Speaker 3: the bullpen and just everything. They're nine and a half
Speaker 3: games back from the Mets, four and a half down
Speaker 3: from the Braves. The Marlins have been you know, wishy
Speaker 3: washy Nationals out of it. It's it really looks like
Speaker 3: it's a two horse race. I hit eight Albi's out.
Speaker 3: I really hate it for this team, especially when you
Speaker 3: get a Kunya back. I do love the the performance
Speaker 3: like the upping performance of some of the pitching, like
Speaker 3: Spencer Strider has come in and really benefited this team.
Speaker 3: Michael Harris has obviously been really solid. I think this
Speaker 3: is a bet you can make. I don't think this
Speaker 3: is a safe man's bet, you know. I think there's
Speaker 3: a lot of people that approach gamble.
Speaker 1: It's a small investment. I mean, you put twenty bucks
Speaker 1: on this, you win one forty if it does, I
Speaker 1: mean twenty bucks is going to break you. Yeah, But
Speaker 1: I don't think the way I look at this investment.
Speaker 3: But I don't think a lot of people. I mean
Speaker 3: it's all balanced. I don't know how many people they're
Speaker 3: big in anything they do in gambling is based on
Speaker 3: all futures. You know, we're talking like simply futures here.
Speaker 3: If you like to okay, so here's a better way
Speaker 3: to put it. If you are a futures person and
Speaker 3: you really like to dabble in futures, this is a
Speaker 3: great bet. Is this the bet that's jumping out at
Speaker 3: you and you should and you don't really do futures,
Speaker 3: and you should do it? I think if you like
Speaker 3: to play really risky, yeah, absolutely, because it's a great Payday.
Speaker 2: I just don't like it's a you want to play
Speaker 2: really risky.
Speaker 1: I don't even know if it's really risky. Plus fourteen
Speaker 1: hundred Cardinals are fascinating. I mean that's double what the
Speaker 1: Braves are. I'm just saying like, now's an interesting time.
Speaker 2: To win the Oh National League.
Speaker 1: Yah ye yeah, Well fourteen National fourteen one, fourteen to
Speaker 1: one right now, that's a consensus betting pro's line. They're
Speaker 1: thirteen to one on FanDuel, but bet MGM as a
Speaker 1: fourteen to one, DK has him a fourteen to one.
Speaker 1: It's just it's an interesting conversation that, you know, despite
Speaker 1: losing Albi's too, you know, seven to one is still
Speaker 1: really good. Number fourteen it is extraordinary. And I think
Speaker 1: you want to talk about a cake division. The National
Speaker 1: League Central is the cake division. The Cubs are terrible,
Speaker 1: the Pirates are terrible, The Reds are getting rid of
Speaker 1: every way they can. I bet d is not the
Speaker 1: off that team. Drury's another guy too that I think
Speaker 1: is going to help a contender. Somebody's gonna want him.
Speaker 1: It always reminds me of you know, how like you know,
Speaker 1: as Drubal Cabrera was always a player that was useful
Speaker 1: to teams. I feel like Drewi's that guy. He's versatile,
Speaker 1: you can play different spots, swings are pretty good bad,
Speaker 1: He's been in the league a long time. He's a pro.
Speaker 1: He's like at that Asdrubal Cabrera kind of quality about him.
Speaker 3: I'll bet you Cardinals Division for Central is like minus
Speaker 3: three hundred. There are three of the five teams in
Speaker 3: the division are one and nine over the last ten games,
Speaker 3: one and nine, and the Reds are five and five.
Speaker 3: So there's not a team over five hundred in the.
Speaker 1: Central plus one ten to win the division right now,
Speaker 1: the division that's there's still plus plus and a half.
Speaker 2: That feels like free money.
Speaker 1: What are Brewers are minus one seventy seven consensus still.
Speaker 2: One and nine in the last ten two What are
Speaker 2: the Braid for the East.
Speaker 1: The Braves for the East? Just to answer that question,
Speaker 1: let's take a look here. Well, the Mets are minus
Speaker 1: two thirty five because they sure they have patted the
Speaker 1: plus two fifty the Braves for the East.
Speaker 2: Okay, and then five they're five back. Yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 2: I like the Cardinals bet way more than I like
Speaker 2: the Braves. Bet four.
Speaker 3: Uh if you wanted to take that risk for the
Speaker 3: entire n L. The Braves and the Cardinals, both for
Speaker 3: the division, I think are fun bets as well.
Speaker 1: Another fun one too. I mean this is fantasy, it's
Speaker 1: also betting. Is Paul Goldmian Okay, I mean I've been
Speaker 1: harping on the Paul Goldschman. I told everybody I made
Speaker 1: investment in Goldsman. I told you on Friday, Right, it's
Speaker 1: time to go move into the gold Schmidth for n
Speaker 1: L MVP conversation. Nine plus hits, nine plus RBI, six
Speaker 1: plus runs scored, five extra base hits, four plus one run,
Speaker 1: zero strikeouts over a two day span. The only other
Speaker 1: guy to do that ty Cobb in nineteen twenty five.
Speaker 1: It's the last time anyone had the runner.
Speaker 2: He's good. He's good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Paul, And I remember last year after he started
Speaker 1: slow and that, people were like, oh no. And you know,
Speaker 1: you talk about Goldschman and Arnado with the corners. You
Speaker 1: see what the Cardinals have done. Cardinals are one of
Speaker 1: the best organizations in baseball history. I mean, it's just
Speaker 1: unbelievable how they want if Tyler O'Neill reinvent themselves and if.
Speaker 2: Tyler O'Neill can come back, you know, you just recently
Speaker 2: came back from injury. If he can come back and.
Speaker 1: Just ca Carlson's hitting now to all of a sudden.
Speaker 2: Too, Carlston's hitting.
Speaker 3: If O'Neil gets back into form, they're massively a problem.
Speaker 3: They are massive, massively a problem.
Speaker 1: This is a fun one here. The Astros are fourteen hundred.
Speaker 2: Are you really?
Speaker 3: I hope they are. I hope that's a real Is
Speaker 3: that a real number? Give me the real number?
Speaker 1: No? Oh, no, it is the consensus Lies buys fourteen
Speaker 1: Hundred's right, they're eight and a half, well minus twelve
Speaker 1: at bet MGM.
Speaker 2: I want to point this out. This is how bad.
Speaker 3: Okay, this is one of the things why we can
Speaker 3: continue having We won't, but we can continue having this
Speaker 3: so tawy MVP situation. The Angels are third in the division. There,
Speaker 3: it's a big number, but they're still only nine and
Speaker 3: a half back from the Astros. On June fifteenth, and
Speaker 3: the and the Astros are minus fourteen.
Speaker 2: They're fourteen to one.
Speaker 1: A negative vegas like fire manager. Hundred vegas senses blood
Speaker 1: in the water when you fire a manager and they're right,
Speaker 1: that's why they build those hotels. Okay, they build these
Speaker 1: hotels off of good data that typically when you fire
Speaker 1: a manager, things do not go well. Every now and
Speaker 1: then it does, but the vast majority means there's a problem. Also,
Speaker 1: shout out to this is like the love of the Cardinals.
Speaker 1: Go Cards? Is loving the show today? Go Cards? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, you gotta love this. Yeah. At
Speaker 1: the very top, fourteen eight hundred and sixty five putouts
Speaker 1: as a catcher, the most all time in Major League
Speaker 1: Baseball history. That is impressive. Today in Major League Baseball history,
Speaker 1: reads Johnny Vandermier through his second consecutive no hitter eighty
Speaker 1: four years ago on June fifteenth, in nineteen thirty eight.
Speaker 1: And he did so on three days rest, the only
Speaker 1: picture in MLB history to throw back to back no hitters.
Speaker 1: So Johnny Vandermere gets a shout out on him. Back
Speaker 1: in my day, they I remember Johny vandermre Yaanny no hitters.
Speaker 2: They throw an hour and get no hitters.
Speaker 1: Vandermir is a great like old timey last name, isn't
Speaker 1: it too? Like? Oh, we're having dinner at the Vanderms.
Speaker 1: I believe of this evening there's everyone.
Speaker 2: I mean, I immediately am like it's a Harry Potter villain,
Speaker 2: so very villainous or older?
Speaker 3: Yeah for sure, Lord Johnny Vando.
Speaker 2: All right, that a little too good?
Speaker 1: I do it very well. Yeah. I'm still trying to decide.
Speaker 1: Am I Voldemort or Doctor Evil for Halloween this year?
Speaker 1: For the show? I don't know which one, but maybe
Speaker 1: we get a pole up there.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking I'm thinking maybe Voldemort.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I feel like Doctor Evil. I
Speaker 1: can sustain longer and answer people's questions in the fun
Speaker 1: of your fashion. Baltimore might be the Little Dark for
Speaker 1: a while. But anyway, speaking of dark, every team in
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball has had a Rookie of the Year
Speaker 1: except one. Can you name that team? That's the trivia
Speaker 1: question for today. So if you know the team that's
Speaker 1: never had a Rookie of the Year, drop it in
Speaker 1: the chat if you haven't already subscribed to Fancy Pros
Speaker 1: MLB channel, and then you can become an official Peanut
Speaker 1: and cracker Jack. Oh here's what mister Buster says. I
Speaker 1: should be Doctor Evil and you should be mister Bigglesworth.
Speaker 1: That'd be very funny.
Speaker 2: That be hilarious.
Speaker 1: What are you doing?
Speaker 2: I'd rather be I'll just be a shark with a
Speaker 2: laser on me.
Speaker 1: If somebody asked me how much fab should I spend
Speaker 1: on you know player, I was like three billion dollars.
Speaker 1: That's how much you spend on him. I think it's
Speaker 1: a great idea. All right, let's go to some of
Speaker 1: the stat heroes. Tyler Molly, we talked about him. Twelve k's,
Speaker 1: nine innings, eight and two thirds for Miles Michelas six,
Speaker 1: Chris Bassett was brilliant, seven k's, Gonsolin six k's and
Speaker 1: no earned in six. Nick Pavetta another one. I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: Nick Pavett has been on this role. I don't know
Speaker 1: if this is the new Nick Pavetta. I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's the Nick Pavetta. We can believe in holy crap,
Speaker 1: this guy's been outstanding and I keep pound the table
Speaker 1: for him in these tournaments on DK as the secondary
Speaker 1: arm and I hope you've been using him, but he
Speaker 1: has been money man eight innings, one earned run, Goldschmid
Speaker 1: four for four with two dongs. We also had two
Speaker 1: homers from Hoskins, two from Contreras, Ryan Mountcastle hit a
Speaker 1: home run. Mike Mayer lost his mind. I'm sure he
Speaker 1: took his shirt off, rubed oyle On himself, ran around
Speaker 1: the house. Travis Darnault three for five, one home run,
Speaker 1: Luke Vod hit a home run, Michael Harris hit a
Speaker 1: home run as well, and Haysu's aguilar two for five
Speaker 1: with a dinger. Can he talk to me about Michael Harris?
Speaker 1: Give me the scouting report on Michael Harris because a
Speaker 1: lot of people ask him questions about him in the chat.
Speaker 3: He's a crazy plus speed, great defender, makes tons and
Speaker 3: tons of contact. One of the big things that he
Speaker 3: had done over the last like I don't know, a
Speaker 3: year and a half or so, he'd really started the
Speaker 3: develop into power, which was like a huge key for him.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: Just pulling up here just so I have the stats
Speaker 3: in front of me. So far this year in the miners,
Speaker 3: he had had five homers, eleven stolen bases with a
Speaker 3: three or five average. Last year seven homers, twenty seven
Speaker 3: stolen bases with a two ninety four and the home
Speaker 3: run clip looks like it was doubling against. This is
Speaker 3: one of those guys with high contact ability that was
Speaker 3: starting to learn to hit for power.
Speaker 2: He's a game changer.
Speaker 3: He's a five tool I mean he's I think he's
Speaker 3: a five tool potential. But ultimately he's one of those
Speaker 3: guys that you would put at the top of the order.
Speaker 3: I actually think you could maybe get like shades of
Speaker 3: the good Victor Roeblish, Remember the Victor Roblish you wanted.
Speaker 3: I think that's where like Michael Harris is like, he's
Speaker 3: gonna make a ton of contact.
Speaker 2: He does have a beautiful swing. He's probably not say.
Speaker 1: Michael Taylor is a player here, reminded me of like bigger, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm like, what like of what you could
Speaker 1: expect from him kind of thing like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably like like in a season at at I
Speaker 3: don't want peak, but like projectable. I would put Michael
Speaker 3: Harris as like a fifteen thirty type of guy, which
Speaker 3: is going to be very, very valuable, a fantastic defender
Speaker 3: for that team, and it's on a great team that's
Speaker 3: gonna let him be hyper aggressive on the bass pass.
Speaker 2: So, I mean he had eleven ROAs early on.
Speaker 1: We're getting trolled by Mayor here. Victor Roblest was never
Speaker 1: really good.
Speaker 3: No, he that can't well, I said, I said, the
Speaker 3: Victor Robot, the good Victor Robles that we wanted, that we.
Speaker 1: Were we wanted, which are some glimpses, but unfortunately just
Speaker 1: never happened. Trent Fleming was the first to get the
Speaker 1: answer right. It's the Arizona Diamondback.
Speaker 3: I was gonna say that, but I didn't want to
Speaker 3: be the stupid homer that I always can be about it.
Speaker 2: But what stopped me was I was trying to remember Upton.
Speaker 2: Did Upton do it?
Speaker 3: Because we haven't had a lot of good rookies as
Speaker 3: a diamonback fan Drew, I don't.
Speaker 1: Know, no Brandon Webb, none of those guys. Nope.
Speaker 3: I didn't even think web so all here. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: mean Arizona diamics makes sense.
Speaker 2: I mean they're only.
Speaker 1: Web want to Cy Young though, But he didn't.
Speaker 3: He did win a young but I don't. I don't
Speaker 3: think he was good in his rookie year. It took
Speaker 3: him a while to really find it. Took him a
Speaker 3: little bit, I remember watching to find that, to find
Speaker 3: that ground ball like success rate, Like you can throw
Speaker 3: sinkers and stuff, but it doesn't mean you're gonna be
Speaker 3: successful with it.
Speaker 2: It took them a little bit.
Speaker 3: But I thought I thought Upton was my one. But
Speaker 3: the man team's only been around for whatever.
Speaker 1: Oh you figured it was a later team. But you know,
Speaker 1: some of these, you know, like the Rays have had
Speaker 1: a few. You know. It's some of the you know,
Speaker 1: expansion teams over the years have actually had a bunch
Speaker 1: because they've had to it had to grow these young talent,
Speaker 1: and they got a lot of high draft picks, so
Speaker 1: sometimes you convert them. But I thought that was very
Speaker 1: interesting that Arizona was the only team in MLB that
Speaker 1: doesn't have a ROI in their history. The most ever,
Speaker 1: by the ways, the Dodgers between Brooklyn and Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: they are a Rookie of the year machine. Nobody's had
Speaker 1: more than the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Is what the number is?
Speaker 1: H Yeah, I have to go back and bring it
Speaker 1: up there. It was a lot.
Speaker 2: I'm just curious because I think that is interesting. It's
Speaker 2: gonna be a bit.
Speaker 3: I mean that Beck's got a couple of guys coming up,
Speaker 3: Corbyn Carroll, Jordan Lawler this coming draft in about a month.
Speaker 3: They had the two overall picks, so they got some
Speaker 3: hive like, high high volume type of guys. It's just
Speaker 3: put that put that stuff together. Man, they don't do it.
Speaker 2: They don't do it.
Speaker 1: Sean Mania was a dud five earned four innings. Trevor Rodgers.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just something intervention. Can we have an
Speaker 1: intervention like on how I met your mother? When you
Speaker 1: have that banner? They would have like interventions for their friends.
Speaker 1: I need one for Trevor Rodgers. We just need to
Speaker 1: figure something out here. I think I've never been more
Speaker 1: disappointed in a player I've been in Trevor Rodgers this year.
Speaker 2: You just you take your mouse, You're going you clicked
Speaker 2: over by his name. Depending where you are.
Speaker 3: Sometimes there's a little red stripe. Uh yeah, I see,
Speaker 3: there's there's some numbers. Sometimes there's some letters, the one
Speaker 3: look for the one who the r oh ah, and.
Speaker 1: Then okay, yeah, okay, and then hit y okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: there you go. Drop.
Speaker 2: That's the best thing you Rogers doesn't feel better?
Speaker 1: The only thing I do I feel. I feel glorious.
Speaker 1: By the way. The answer to your question, because I
Speaker 1: just looked it up, the Dodgers have eighteen Rookies of
Speaker 1: the year eighteen. The next closest is the Yankees with nine.
Speaker 2: What was that was wasn't.
Speaker 3: That equate to like like a ten percent of Baseball's
Speaker 3: Rookie of the Year's NL's Rookie.
Speaker 1: I mean, since they were award in nineteen forty, I
Speaker 1: mean nineteen forty something whatever they started, I mean forty seven, well,
Speaker 1: you gotta realize they had forty seven forty nine is
Speaker 1: like the Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella, Don Dukam year's right,
Speaker 1: forty nine, fifty two, fifty three, sixty sixty five, sixty nine,
Speaker 1: seventy nine through eighty two. Right, So in the sixties
Speaker 1: they had like the Colfax, Drysdale, all that group. Then
Speaker 1: in the seventies they had that run right seventy nine
Speaker 1: to eighty two where they had some fantastic young players
Speaker 1: ninety two to ninety six, which was the Jdeo Nomo
Speaker 1: period Raulmandesi period, if you remember those dudes, right, that
Speaker 1: was that run where they had four in a row,
Speaker 1: four in a row ninety two to ninety six, and
Speaker 1: then twenty sixteen and twenty seventeen too.
Speaker 3: I mean, just I mean, and if the Rookie of
Speaker 3: the Year award is eight eighty years old and they
Speaker 3: accumulate eighteen of them, I mean they are closing in
Speaker 3: on twenty five percent of rookie of the years have
Speaker 3: gone to the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Here's that run by the way ninety two, Eric Harros
Speaker 1: ninety three, Piazza ninety four, Monda Sea ninety five, U
Speaker 1: Hideo Nomo. Then Todd Hollinds Worth closing out ninety six
Speaker 1: ladies and Tom and Todd Holland's worth. Let's go get
Speaker 1: expect that. On today's show, Hitters who sucked yesterday? Josh
Speaker 1: Rojas over four three k's, Brendan marsh over three three
Speaker 1: k's back to his old habits, Brendan Rodgers over four
Speaker 1: three k. So it's a short lived good burst for Rogers.
Speaker 1: Boba Schett over five with three k's, Cody Bellinger over
Speaker 1: three with two k's, and then we had someone named
Speaker 1: Tucupita Marcano over today.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Marcinkupeita Marcano, former poet to Austin.
Speaker 2: I know we don't want we can't get drawn into
Speaker 2: this too much.
Speaker 3: Are you all worried about Bobaschett just throwing it out
Speaker 3: out there? Batting average two sixty five, highest career K
Speaker 3: percentage at least since his rookie year ISOs down.
Speaker 1: Projector a counter question for your question. Somebody just asked me,
Speaker 1: would you trade Josh Hater for Bobaschet? And I said, ooh,
Speaker 1: it's a head to head category league just redrafts, yeah,
Speaker 1: redraft head heead categories. Would you make that trade?
Speaker 2: I would trade my Hater for Bishett?
Speaker 1: You would do it? Now?
Speaker 3: I assume if you're I'm assuming if you're doing it,
Speaker 3: you've got other closers or does it?
Speaker 1: He said he would just be putting starters into the
Speaker 1: closer role. So basically you're punting saves, which is okay
Speaker 1: because you're giving yourself bigger chances on w's.
Speaker 3: You know what, I would, because if all you have
Speaker 3: is Hater holding you up, you're probably middleligning in saves.
Speaker 3: If that's the only guy that you're putting out there,
Speaker 3: and you're not if you can't bring in any sodas
Speaker 3: or anything like that, I would. I guess there's just
Speaker 3: something about like two months of this that makes me
Speaker 3: a little bit worried. His contact percentage is the lowest
Speaker 3: of his career. It's down four point from last year,
Speaker 3: which I don't love. His swinging strike percentage is the highest.
Speaker 3: Looks like he's really been struggling with I mean continuously
Speaker 3: as off speed sliders and stuff. And it's the second
Speaker 3: lowest contact percentage. It's two and a half points lower
Speaker 3: than it was last year, and it just doesn't changed.
Speaker 3: And I guess that's what worries me just a tiny bit.
Speaker 3: But still even that projection systems are closing in on
Speaker 3: thirty homers in double digital and basis, so I guess
Speaker 3: you can't complain he's just not the same player. And
Speaker 3: that actually is a perfect example. I think of a
Speaker 3: good discount that you can get in Bobashett for Hater,
Speaker 3: except Hater just represents the pinnacle of one specific position.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, if you only got one basic good points,
Speaker 1: I think I would all right. Plus, there gets more
Speaker 1: closers in the second half. They'll pop up on the
Speaker 1: waiver wire when guys get traded. Let's look at the
Speaker 1: home run board pretty much the same as yesterday. Two
Speaker 1: other people, one of them might be named Mike Mayer,
Speaker 1: also tied at nineteen after yesterday's Hoskins home runs. But
Speaker 1: I like that he's.
Speaker 2: Not on it. I like that Joey p at nineteen
Speaker 2: and not like mayor.
Speaker 1: Just two other people just two other peoples. Let's talk
Speaker 1: about some betting pros, and let's talk about betmgm, the
Speaker 1: King of Sportsbooks. Bet ten dollars win two hundred. Whenever
Speaker 1: you use that promo code leading off, new users go
Speaker 1: to bed mgm, download the app, or go to bedmgm
Speaker 1: dot com. When you do bet ten dollars to win
Speaker 1: two hundred, doesn't matter what the outcome is. That's what
Speaker 1: you do over at betmgm, the King of sports Books.
Speaker 1: Again leading off, one word, that is the promo code
Speaker 1: to use today. I got at Corbyn Burns on the
Speaker 1: over on the strikeouts at six and a half. That
Speaker 1: numbers on DK minus one thirty five at sugar House
Speaker 1: task Gernandez is at one and a half a total basis,
Speaker 1: that is at minus one seventeen. I like that number.
Speaker 1: I like the plus one twenty number on the total
Speaker 1: basis one and a half of Mike Troad on DK.
Speaker 1: Same with Mookie bets. You get even money on the
Speaker 1: one and a half total basis. You've got some McClanahan
Speaker 1: interest this day, Is that correct?
Speaker 3: Well, it's always mclann it's always I mean, I'm always
Speaker 3: going to want to play McClanahan when he goes out there,
Speaker 3: so you should be able to pick that. Apart from me,
Speaker 3: mcclanahan's at six and a half on the over for
Speaker 3: against the New York met New York Yankees.
Speaker 2: What I like about it? He has seven straight or
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, he struck out seven in more in six
Speaker 2: of his last starts, in six straight starts and against
Speaker 2: the Yankees. Just totally tied up here against the Yankees,
Speaker 2: which I believe was his second or third start to go.
Speaker 2: He had seven, So six straight games where he's had
Speaker 2: at least seven or more strikeouts. The prop is at
Speaker 2: six and a half. I always bet it.
Speaker 3: They're actually the algorithm here is telling you to play
Speaker 3: the under. At least it likes the under because it's
Speaker 3: at one oh five plus money. But I'm going to
Speaker 3: take the over on my klan of hand, it's a
Speaker 3: half decent team to go up against the Yankees. And
Speaker 3: then I'm actually going to go against something that I
Speaker 3: always want to do. I always want to bet Spencer Strider.
Speaker 3: I always want that number. But the books have put
Speaker 3: it so high you never see, you know, they don't
Speaker 3: even dabble at four and a half or five and
Speaker 3: a half anymore. So this is actually an agreement I
Speaker 3: have with the Betting Pros MLB prop sheet, which you
Speaker 3: guys can check at Betting Pros. Just if you also
Speaker 3: can type in prop sheet Betting pro prom sheet and.
Speaker 2: It'll pop right up.
Speaker 3: They've got the under on strikeouts for Spencer Strider, and
Speaker 3: he's going up against Washington. Washington strikes out the second
Speaker 3: least in Major League Baseball. Strider has only hit seven
Speaker 3: strikeouts twice this year, and he's only gone over five
Speaker 3: innings once. He's obviously getting into form a little bit more.
Speaker 2: They're stretching on a.
Speaker 3: Bit more, but this is not the team that I
Speaker 3: would be looking for him to be able to get
Speaker 3: seven strikeouts on. So I actually really like the under
Speaker 3: on Spencer Strider, and I love the over on mcclana hand.
Speaker 1: So, all right, DFS is simple tonight, boys and girls,
Speaker 1: Shane McClanahan versus Nester Cortez, pick aside. I'm gonna pick
Speaker 1: the McLanahan side. Then I'm gonna go with Barrios as
Speaker 1: the secondary arm at eight point nine because he has
Speaker 1: been better lately. So I'm just gonna go ahead and
Speaker 1: take a chance on that. If you want to switch
Speaker 1: around and go with Corbyn Burns, having McClanahan lineup with Barrios.
Speaker 1: Have a Corbyn Burns line up with Barrios. I think
Speaker 1: that's the way to go. Single picture site. You have
Speaker 1: a McLanahan lineup, you have a Nester Cortez, you have
Speaker 1: a Corbyn Burns. If you want to play in cash,
Speaker 1: you have to kind of pick and chew. I'm still
Speaker 1: on the McClanahan side. He's just been so dominant. That's
Speaker 1: the way I'm going. And then Barrios is your tournament
Speaker 1: pitcher at eight point seven Stacks tonight San Diego, Boston,
Speaker 1: Saint Louis DK lineup builders you got Nico Horner three four,
Speaker 1: Delan Carlson at three, k Adam Duval three five, also
Speaker 1: Justin Turner on FanDuel two six, Taskars Nandez a two
Speaker 1: five and Frank Schwindel at two point five. Also, I'm
Speaker 1: going Manny Machado tonight in Chicago for my dinger. Where
Speaker 1: you going Welsh for your home run.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go back to my roots. I'm gonna go
Speaker 3: back to what got me here, Byron Buxton. I'm going
Speaker 3: back to Byron Buckston's got a great career PVB versus
Speaker 3: our BVP versus Marco Gonzaz who's going up against tonight.
Speaker 3: And I would also add I like the total base
Speaker 3: marker for him as well. It's even money. He hits
Speaker 3: Gonzales pretty well. I'm going back, going, going back back.
Speaker 2: To Buxton Bucks County. I need to get back to
Speaker 2: those roots.
Speaker 1: There you go, There you have it. Mike Merrick continuing
Speaker 1: to stay with his boy Rhys Hoskins. He is, he's
Speaker 1: doubling down, so we'll see that if that works for him.

Speaker 1: and Mike Mayor, I think those are the two people
Speaker 1: in it.
Speaker 3: And Ryan Mountcastle, like I could see that channel being
Speaker 3: something where he added Ryan.
Speaker 1: Actually it's a guy named Brian Mountcastle, so I don't
Speaker 1: know if that's Eve.
Speaker 3: I like the idea that there's a room that Mike
Speaker 3: Mayor sits in every day and then he's just he's
Speaker 3: sent an invite to Mountcastle and he's just wait. Every day,
Speaker 3: it's him waiting for Ryan to join the room.
Speaker 2: Did he join today?
Speaker 1: He had a Twitter campaign for Ryan Mountcastle to follow
Speaker 1: Mike Mayor on Twitter. Oh that's all I want. If
Speaker 1: he hasn't already, he probably doesn't.
Speaker 2: Oh, you know what, I know?
Speaker 3: We got to go who would be the one baseball
Speaker 3: player that should follow each person? And Buxton would clearly
Speaker 3: be mine? Should follow me Mountcastle?
Speaker 2: For Mayor? Who would be for me?
Speaker 1: I don't know, No, because a good one. I'm no,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I would probably want somebody who like
Speaker 1: is maybe very unliked. May think that would be funny.
Speaker 1: You know it's almost Angel Hernandez. I want no thank
