Speaker 1: Leading off starts right now, right here in Fantasy Pros,
Speaker 1: brought to you by bet MGM. It's the Chris and
Speaker 1: Chris Show. I am Chris Welsh over there. That is
Speaker 1: Chris Clegg on Twitter at roto Clegg Cleig. What's up, buddy.
Speaker 1: I can't say Chris or we'll get all tied up.
Speaker 2: And yeah, too many Chris is in the fantasy baseball space, man,
Speaker 2: so we gotta go by last names. But yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: glad to be back, looking forward to the show. It's
Speaker 2: always good to chat with you, and looking forward to
Speaker 2: breaking down everything from yesterday.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well except for the top news. We'll break down
Speaker 1: how many What do you think the most common name
Speaker 1: is in fantasy baseball for an analyst? Do you think
Speaker 1: it's Chris? Do you think I'm trying to think of?
Speaker 1: Is it? We don't know a lot of palls. There's
Speaker 1: not that many erics we'd have to let's let's break
Speaker 1: that down. That's the next stat we need everybody the
Speaker 1: most common name. Maybe it is Chris. I don't I
Speaker 1: guess in the prospect world we have me you Chris Blessings,
Speaker 1: So maybe Chris does dominate the prospect world. I don't
Speaker 1: know about the fantasy world, so yes, things will be
Speaker 1: fun to talk about, except probably the top main story
Speaker 1: that just came down, I believe within the last hour praise.
Speaker 1: Marcelo Zuna was arrested on Friday morning, yes, in Georgia
Speaker 1: for driving under the influence. Every time I read this,
Speaker 1: it says nor Cross, but I want to say it's
Speaker 1: like Narcos, so then I'm like, wow, this is a
Speaker 1: much serious injury is an issue. Nor Cross police arrested
Speaker 1: Ozuna after failing to maintain his lane. He was booked
Speaker 1: in around uh four thirty in the morning. That's good
Speaker 1: for game time. And as you know, Ozuna is I believe,
Speaker 1: not even a year out of his domestic violence issue
Speaker 1: that he had. There's no actual other information outside of
Speaker 1: he messed up, and I would not expecting to probably
Speaker 1: see a whole bunch of Oza. I mean, maybe I'm
Speaker 1: overblowing it because it's the DUI, but it's two main issues.
Speaker 1: He was arrested. Marcello Zuna probably gonna at least miss
Speaker 1: a little bit of time, if not maybe major you know.
Speaker 1: Reactions from the Braves cleg Yeah, I mean, I'm hoping
Speaker 1: they can find a way to avoid this contract after
Speaker 1: you both incidentss. I don't know, you know, legally how
Speaker 1: that works, and if you know his parole stuff, there
Speaker 1: was some clauses in there about anything like this. But
Speaker 1: you know, he had already kind of lost his starting
Speaker 1: spot at this point where he was just playing really inconsistently.
Speaker 1: He's been bumped out of the order, bumped down the order,
Speaker 1: and then completely out and this certainly doesn't help his case.
Speaker 1: You know, if he's wanting to, you know, bump up
Speaker 1: that two fourteen bag average he has going on, I
Speaker 1: don't think this is the way to do that. So
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised, if you know, even if the
Speaker 1: Braves have to eat the money if he gets DFA.
Speaker 3: So it could be interesting, but I don't think we'll
Speaker 3: see it much anymore.
Speaker 1: No, And one of the big things that Wonky pointed
Speaker 1: out this is where this was leading to. We have
Speaker 1: to consider with how good Vong Grissom has been, that
Speaker 1: this could be the playing time that opens up. Obviously,
Speaker 1: Marcel Azuna, you know you're gonna have outfield, You're gonna
Speaker 1: have potential DH but if Ozuna is out in perpetuity,
Speaker 1: I mean Grissom just was given a spot. There's just
Speaker 1: given an open field here with whatever happens. I mean,
Speaker 1: Orlando Arcia comes back, okay, if Alvis comes back in
Speaker 1: time and both of them okay, But now this is
Speaker 1: another potential spot that they could maybe play Grissom if
Speaker 1: they want to run some outfield, DH have him there,
Speaker 1: and his success is probably one of those reasons. I mean,
Speaker 1: sometimes these teams get caught. They get caught with like,
Speaker 1: all right, this is a talented player, we need this
Speaker 1: person versus the actions of what they had. Not all
Speaker 1: teams react correctly, but when you have really other good
Speaker 1: players that are sitting in the wings and this could
Speaker 1: just create rest of season opportunity, it's even better for Grissom.
Speaker 1: Not that there's any application Craig Clegg, because he's already
Speaker 1: picked up everywhere. If Grissom was not picked up, anywhere
Speaker 1: you should run is immediately immediately to go pick him up.
Speaker 1: But he's not anywhere most likely available. So I don't
Speaker 1: know what the actual item is that just if anybody
Speaker 1: owns Grisom, you can probably feel a whole lot better
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 2: And I would also say William Contreras sees more at bats.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know he's dhing some, but you know,
Speaker 2: when he's not catching, he may be the everyday DH
Speaker 2: at least until Alb's is back and Grisom moves off second.
Speaker 2: So I really think it's a bump for William Contreras.
Speaker 2: So he's already been that well, you know will Contraras.
Speaker 1: What's interesting about him is he's one of those guys
Speaker 1: that I'm trying to think of how many are out there,
Speaker 1: but like he doesn't have a full time gig yet
Speaker 1: he has been a top ten at his position for
Speaker 1: me for half of the season with the performance, regardless
Speaker 1: of having the full time gig or not, his bat
Speaker 1: has been so live that without the full full time
Speaker 1: they've still been attempting to give it to him. And
Speaker 1: you're right, this does open up a little bit more
Speaker 1: of an opportunity for him. So you know, maybe that's
Speaker 1: how to look at it. Maybe the big arrow actually
Speaker 1: is Contraross with a side arrow of von Grissom, because
Speaker 1: they're still scenarios you're building where it might not work
Speaker 1: if wilmcntras is the main DH, and then you do
Speaker 1: have Albi's coming back and Grissom is still kind of
Speaker 1: without a spot or a landing spot. If they don't
Speaker 1: want to move him around, then it may be moot.
Speaker 1: But Grislam has been awesome. Ozuna not so awesome, not
Speaker 1: so awesome whatsoever. Zach Gallon is awesome though striking out twelve,
Speaker 1: I think it was someone right at the top here.
Speaker 1: One of the very first comments in Angelo Gallon thirty
Speaker 1: five Fantasy points yesterday been phenomenal, twelve strikeouts, had seventeen
Speaker 1: swing and missus led the way against the Giants last night.
Speaker 1: And I'm looking at some of his stat cast stuff
Speaker 1: as well. He had a sixty seven percent swing, a
Speaker 1: whiff rate sixty seven percent with rate on his curb,
Speaker 1: his knuckle cur which he threw twenty six percent of
Speaker 1: the time. Fifteen of the twenty six elicited to swing.
Speaker 1: Ten of those fifteen were whiffs, which is a bonkers number.
Speaker 1: And he had whiffs. He had a double digit or
Speaker 1: multiple whiffs on every single pitch he threw last night.
Speaker 1: Four of the categorized pitches with at least double digit usage.
Speaker 1: Zach Gallen has been a monster cleg and really is
Speaker 1: one of those guys. If it continues on the bad team.
Speaker 1: He is going to vault himself up as far as
Speaker 1: how he's valued next season exponentially if this keeps going on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think he hasn't been talked about in
Speaker 2: the light that he should be with the type of
Speaker 2: season that he's having. You know, he's right at a
Speaker 2: strikeout in ninny right now. But you know, when you
Speaker 2: look at it, he's been striking out more as of
Speaker 2: recent and that's been encouraging to really see him, you know,
Speaker 2: getting to those strikeouts, and obviously you know, this last
Speaker 2: start was his most strikeouts that he's had this season.
Speaker 2: So if this trend continues, then I certainly think he's
Speaker 2: going to push his way up boards for redraft next year.
Speaker 2: But I still think he's being a bit undervalued. This
Speaker 2: is kind of who we expected him to be, really
Speaker 2: when he came up his rookie season and just dominated,
Speaker 2: and then last year just didn't really go as planned.
Speaker 2: But now he's back and just absolutely dominant. So I
Speaker 2: think we can kind of expect Gallon to be this
Speaker 2: low threes type era with a solid strikeout rate, not
Speaker 2: the best, not elite. It's not gonna push himself into
Speaker 2: ACE territory, but you know, you have to really like
Speaker 2: what you're getting out of Gallon, especially where he drafted
Speaker 2: him this season.
Speaker 1: We're kind of getting into like twenty twenty three talk
Speaker 1: territory Bubba who had on yesterday and was talking about
Speaker 1: how him and Bloom we're sharing some twenty twenty two
Speaker 1: I think it was like a best ball or whatever
Speaker 1: they were doing for the next year. So you're gonna
Speaker 1: start getting into that territory where ranks are going to
Speaker 1: be floating out there. My next rank update, I'm not
Speaker 1: going to do a September redraft rank update because I
Speaker 1: just kind of think that's silly with the final month.
Speaker 1: I'm actually going to focus on early twenty twenty three ranks,
Speaker 1: So that's going to be my September of what I release.
Speaker 1: And do you think Gallen is a top fifteen sp
Speaker 1: next year or would we go higher to top ten?
Speaker 2: Well? I think he should be, but I think he's
Speaker 2: going to push back close. I'm asking you though, like
Speaker 2: your value on? Oh yeah, yeah, I think that I'd
Speaker 2: have him as a top fifteen guy. He could potentially
Speaker 2: push that top ten, but there's just a lot of
Speaker 2: talent up there at the top at this point where
Speaker 2: you know, maybe the strikeouts hind him a bit, but
Speaker 2: right now I valume as top fifteen guy moving forward.
Speaker 1: There was this really fun bet last night that I
Speaker 1: don't know how everybody got it or whatever, but it
Speaker 1: was on a promotion on DK and the promotion was
Speaker 1: the Padres were minus three sixty five. You know who's
Speaker 1: going to bet that? And it says, hey, everybody, you
Speaker 1: can bet fifty bucks and we're gonna give you even
Speaker 1: money on the Padres. You Darvish going against the dumb
Speaker 1: Nationals with Soto playing his team. Doesn't this look fun?
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 1: It is one of those moments that makes you think
Speaker 1: there is somebody that has a time machine travels on
Speaker 1: how they're able to place these things, because yes, there's
Speaker 1: a certain dummy that could not take that even money
Speaker 1: on the Padres. And last night they had the game
Speaker 1: tied up, so I was obviously watching it very intently.
Speaker 1: Darvish gave up two singles to start off the ninth
Speaker 1: inning or eighth inning, Yeah, it was the top of
Speaker 1: the ninth I think it was, and they bring in
Speaker 1: Josh Hater, and Josh Hater allows a pair of inherited
Speaker 1: runs to score and recorded a pair of outs on
Speaker 1: Thursday which in this appearance he does not look right,
Speaker 1: could not throw strikes, he walked the bases loaded, which
Speaker 1: brought in a run, and then subsequently another run came
Speaker 1: in off of a sackfly. Josh Hater has an eight
Speaker 1: point one ERA with a over two whip, four walks,
Speaker 1: four strikeouts in four appearances with the Padres so far.
Speaker 1: Claig what is wrong with Josh Hater?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I wish I could pinpoint something, but something started going
Speaker 2: wrong mid July and July thirteenth was really like the downfall,
Speaker 2: and since then he has a fifteen point two sixty
Speaker 2: RA a ten to five six FIP, so doesn't look
Speaker 2: good there. The walks have just gotten out of control.
Speaker 2: The home runs are out of control. Still striking batters out,
Speaker 2: but doesn't matter when you're walking the amount that you
Speaker 2: are and then allowing those to come in by home run.
Speaker 2: So I've struggled to really pinpoint with him what exactly
Speaker 2: is wrong. But there's something totally off with him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad I made that. He owes me money.
Speaker 1: He owes me money on that one, but luckily I
Speaker 1: had a nice other bet put together that we made
Speaker 1: money yesterday, but that was one of those it's supposed
Speaker 1: to be a slam dunk. Those are those slam dunk
Speaker 1: ones and those promotions they get to and so does
Speaker 1: Josh Hater in these situations. Also, he just wasn't throwing
Speaker 1: strikes properly, like he couldn't. He looked like he had
Speaker 1: no feel And as the announcers were talking about, one
Speaker 1: of the things that's happening, he's working behind himself so
Speaker 1: much that the early count stuff is killing him because
Speaker 1: then hitch our hitters are just looking for one pitch,
Speaker 1: especially when he's not commanding. They're looking for one thing
Speaker 1: later in the count, and they're taking advantage of it.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: Hitter's like only one thing against Josh Hater, and it's disgusting.
Speaker 1: It's fastballs, and that's what they do when he can't
Speaker 1: command any of his offspeed stuff early on and he
Speaker 1: needs to get it right. A couple other little notes here.
Speaker 1: Rangers inter manager Tony Beasley said on Thursday that Josh
Speaker 1: Young major league debut is not eminent. He is not
Speaker 1: coming up in the near future, which I actually don't think.
Speaker 1: This is a horrible thing. I would just throw out
Speaker 1: that good. At least we get some information. I love information,
Speaker 1: so then I don't have to worry about it. I
Speaker 1: don't have to freak out and be like, all right,
Speaker 1: let's go pick up Josh Young. Let's be crazy. I mean,
Speaker 1: I didn't think he was coming up tomorrow. I said,
Speaker 1: let's actually watch, let's maintain, let's see can we get
Speaker 1: him up. I still think September is an opportunity and
Speaker 1: it's and the reason this question is coming up Claig
Speaker 1: is because he's hitting four hundred. He's aating four to
Speaker 1: twenty four in Triple A right now, where he hit
Speaker 1: two forty in the complex, but he's up to three
Speaker 1: twenty five on the season. I believe it is, or
Speaker 1: what is the total number here? I'm actually I think
Speaker 1: I'm saying no. Three forty five on the year, where
Speaker 1: he had another homer earlier in the week with a
Speaker 1: thousand slug And there is a question we can ask, like,
Speaker 1: what is this doing for him? Being in Triple A
Speaker 1: guy's hitting four hundred, what else is he learning? Maybe
Speaker 1: they've got things we don't know about that he's working on,
Speaker 1: but they say it's not imminent. I don't think that
Speaker 1: means he doesn't come up at all. But I do
Speaker 1: think that means you can clear your mind right now
Speaker 1: because if the Rangers, I think the Rangers give him
Speaker 1: a couple I don't know if it's a big plan
Speaker 1: for it. Bottom line, the guy needs at bats. He
Speaker 1: will get them in the AFL this year. I have
Speaker 1: zero point zero percent question that he will be in
Speaker 1: the AFL. It's just will they, in your mind give
Speaker 1: Josh Young at bats at the major league level this year,
Speaker 1: knowing the time he's missed.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm conflicted there because you know, part of me thinks, well,
Speaker 2: he's more than any We've seen that, and I think
Speaker 2: he needs to be challenged at the major league level.
Speaker 2: I mean, we saw him tear up triple A les
Speaker 2: last year. Obviously the injury set him back. I think
Speaker 2: he would have been a debut really early in the
Speaker 2: season if not for the injury. But on the flip side,
Speaker 2: the Rangers have nothing to play for, so they have
Speaker 2: real no incentive to bring him up, and he would
Speaker 2: obviously make that team better. But right now, you know,
Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, obviously you want to wait until
Speaker 2: he can at least keep his rookie service clock through
Speaker 2: next year. So at that point, I think that date
Speaker 2: is August twenty third for the service time where he
Speaker 2: could come up and still be rookie eligible next year.
Speaker 2: So it's possible we see him in September, maybe mid September,
Speaker 2: but I don't really see him have anything left to
Speaker 2: prove at Triple A at this point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and also you got to think about, like I said,
Speaker 1: at bats at bats at bats, so I believe this
Speaker 1: is going to be something. This is going to be
Speaker 1: a playoff pick up. So my big advice has been,
Speaker 1: if you want to be ahead of the game, you
Speaker 1: can pick him up. Try to get him up a
Speaker 1: week before. And I think that's right at September, because
Speaker 1: maybe they stick him through through the Triple A season,
Speaker 1: which I think goes through like July eighteenth or fifteenth
Speaker 1: or something like that, right in that range, and then
Speaker 1: you've got a couple of weeks where I think they
Speaker 1: would want to throw him into the majors, and then
Speaker 1: he'll come over to AFL which starts October third, which
Speaker 1: I will be covering, and there'd be no reason to
Speaker 1: give him any type of a break in between there,
Speaker 1: so he will get me. I have zero percent concern
Speaker 1: or question that he will get at bats. I just
Speaker 1: don't know if they'll be big impactful as far as
Speaker 1: like us trying to go and pick up the big
Speaker 1: next player. Keep an eye on it, but at least
Speaker 1: they gave you some information that it's not imminent, so
Speaker 1: maybe you can just look elsewhere. Also, the shows off,
Speaker 1: Elvis Andrews is signing with a White Sox after being
Speaker 1: released by the A's, and there's some weirdness around that
Speaker 1: there without Tim Anderson. Jeff Passen reported this, Elvis Andris
Speaker 1: going to the White Sox for whatever value that's actually
Speaker 1: going to be, which is pretty minimal. On the injury front,
Speaker 1: Brandon marsh is going on the ten day IL with
Speaker 1: a bone bruise in his left knee and left ankle.
Speaker 1: Spring Anthony Sinzetela was lifted from Thursdays start as Saint
Speaker 1: Louis due to an apparent left leg injury. And just
Speaker 1: you know, the Cardinals James Paxton is being evaluated for
Speaker 1: left lap tightness. We don't ever talk about him. I
Speaker 1: kind of forgot he existed. And an MRI and Tyler
Speaker 1: Moley's right shoulder turned up clean, no structural damage and
Speaker 1: it looks like it's not gonna be anything bad clig,
Speaker 1: which is beautiful, right, Oh yeah, for sure. Here's a
Speaker 1: fun fact. Yesterday we had a good you know, when
Speaker 1: we're talking bets, we had a good call on Alex
Speaker 1: Bregman talking about the total base when I was digging
Speaker 1: in he was not the odds on favorite. But what
Speaker 1: I do every single day, we'll do shortly, is I
Speaker 1: pick the number one on the prop cheat sheet and
Speaker 1: then I take where that could be, whatever type of
Speaker 1: juice up money. Then I go find the positive money.
Speaker 1: And Bregman was a positive money and Bregman had a
Speaker 1: day well. Alex Bregman had two homers and two doubles.
Speaker 1: Since nineteen oh one, this has only been done one
Speaker 1: hundred and eighteen times. In comparison, there have been two
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety five cycles in baseball. A wild stat.
Speaker 1: Two homers, two doubles only one hundred and eighteen times
Speaker 1: in baseball since nineteen oh one. That's that's bonkers.
Speaker 3: That's crazy.
Speaker 2: It's when you think about it, you think about the
Speaker 2: cycle not happening often, and you read those numbers and
Speaker 2: it's like, wow, that's only happened, you know, less than
Speaker 2: half the time. So pretty impressive feet for Bregman. Good
Speaker 2: day for him, for sure, and good to see him
Speaker 2: kind of picking it up a bit.
Speaker 1: Bregman needs a little bit of a pickup if he's going.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I said this like last week.
Speaker 1: He's just we know who he is now. I actually
Speaker 1: appreciate Pregman because we know he's like a twenty five
Speaker 1: homer guy, and that's what you should consider him. And
Speaker 1: if you like twenty five homer ninety ninety, you know,
Speaker 1: questionable batting average between two seventy and two ninety third baseman.
Speaker 1: That's solid, but it's not elite. That's just who he's
Speaker 1: gonna be. And he has some outputs like this this
Speaker 1: day in Baseball nineteen twenty one, Ty Cobb gets hit
Speaker 1: number three thousand of Boston pitcher Elmer Myers. At thirty
Speaker 1: four years old, he's the youngest to ever do it.
Speaker 1: I liked that wonky piece here that she put together.
Speaker 1: And then I have a trivia question and I took
Speaker 1: the answer off Cleig, so you can play along on Thursday.
Speaker 1: Albert poolhols it is sixteenth Grand Slam of his career,
Speaker 1: sixteenth of his career tying him for tenth on the
Speaker 1: all time list. Who is MLB's all time leader in
Speaker 1: Grand Slams? Do you know?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna guess it's somebody like pretty high up on
Speaker 2: the all time home run list, though.
Speaker 1: Good guess any guesses, I'll repeat the question. Well, Clig
Speaker 1: thinks on Thursday, Hale say it is sixteenth Grand Slam,
Speaker 1: tying him for tenth on the list. So you know
Speaker 1: sixteen is tenth on the list. Who is the all
Speaker 1: time leader? And this is not something that you're gonna
Speaker 1: be This is not somebody like in the nineteen hundreds
Speaker 1: or whatever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just a more recent player.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna just take a shot at a rod because
Speaker 2: I do remember him hitting a good many Grand Slams.
Speaker 3: So I don't know if he's at the top or not.
Speaker 3: But that's my guess.
Speaker 1: Yep, just Bob dropped it. You dropped it, that's right,
Speaker 1: twenty five career Grand slams. Alex Rodriguez, Bonds would have
Speaker 1: bombs would have been my guess. That's what JP and
Speaker 1: Wonkey did. I would have one hundred percent went to
Speaker 1: Bonds even first, But no, Alex Rodriguez twenty five Grand Slams.
Speaker 1: That is a lot. I think that's yeah. Alex Rodriguez
Speaker 1: had more Grand Slams and one pier had career homers.
Speaker 1: I think that I think that's a correct stat. I
Speaker 1: don't remember one peer's homers, but I do feel like
Speaker 1: we've talked about it this year. Stat heroes Alex Bregman
Speaker 1: four for six, two homers, a stolen base as well
Speaker 1: as a little combole action and six RBI, take four runs.
Speaker 1: Every bet on him paid off. Brian Reynolds, we talked
Speaker 1: about continues to heat up, keeps it going three for four,
Speaker 1: two homers, four RBI. Andrew mccutchon had two bombs as
Speaker 1: well three RBI, three runs, Chas McCormick a homer, five
Speaker 1: RBI twenty one runs. We didn't really mention yesterday the
Speaker 1: Astros put up on the white Sox. Wilson Contreras had
Speaker 1: two homers. Hunter Renfro perfect three for three with a
Speaker 1: home run. Lars Nootbar, but I think we mentioned on
Speaker 1: the DFS stacks to take a look at he was
Speaker 1: two for three with a homer, two RBI. Springer five
Speaker 1: for five, Albert Poohols with that bomb in Yondi Diaz
Speaker 1: two for four, homer three RBIs. On the pitching side,
Speaker 1: we talked about Gallon. He had seven and one third,
Speaker 1: only give up four hits with twelve strikeouts. JD. Brewbaker
Speaker 1: seven and seven, Adam Wainwright seven and seven, you Darvish
Speaker 1: eight and one third, six strikeouts, and Max Fried seven
Speaker 1: with six caves. JD. Brewbakers another one of those guys
Speaker 1: that has just been like sneaky production in the right matchups. Clegg,
Speaker 1: is he one of those like on your eye, get
Speaker 1: him in a rotation of streamable pitchers for the rest
Speaker 1: of the season into the playoffs, because he's definitely been that. Really,
Speaker 1: I'm asking like, is he streamable or is he a
Speaker 1: guy you want to hold on to for matchups through
Speaker 1: the rest of the year.
Speaker 2: I think you can hold on to him and play
Speaker 2: matchups with him, and you know, really you look at
Speaker 2: his game again as a recent outside of the big
Speaker 2: blow up against the Phillies where he allowed seven earned
Speaker 2: he's been pretty good and over his last three especially
Speaker 2: in solids. He faced the Orioles d Backs and then
Speaker 2: the Red Sox last night. But still, I mean, the
Speaker 2: production's there and I almost think he's a hole, and
Speaker 2: you roster him and you plug him in really in
Speaker 2: almost any matchup, because for the most part this year
Speaker 2: he's been pretty serviceable, especially in a deeper league if
Speaker 2: you're in like a fifteen team or I think that
Speaker 2: brew Baker's one you can really run with moving forward
Speaker 2: and rest of the season.
Speaker 1: It's one of those guys we're gonna start. We're gonna
Speaker 1: start this up where we're gonna be like if you
Speaker 1: get brew Baker on the Cardinals, you get brew Baker
Speaker 1: on the Mariners, just wait and it's like what they
Speaker 1: do the Pirates. The Pirates brew up pictures for other teams.
Speaker 1: That's what they developed, Pictures that will succeed elsewhere and
Speaker 1: not in Pittsburgh. Maybe one day. Stat zero's Cody Bellinger
Speaker 1: Andrew Benintended, Trent Grisham and Brandon nemo all zero for
Speaker 1: four with three strikeouts yesterday. I feel that Grisham one
Speaker 1: real hard and Cody Bellinger, we know they're gonna start
Speaker 1: giving some rest and you should have rested him on
Speaker 1: the waiver wire weeks ago. Pitchers Lucas Gielito three innings,
Speaker 1: seven earned runs, Woolf Zach Log seven earned runs, Antonio
Speaker 1: Senzatela didn't even get into the second with that injury,
Speaker 1: but he gave up five earned runs to boot Logan
Speaker 1: Web four and two third nine hits with three earned runs,
Speaker 1: zero strikeouts, and Frankie Montoss six earned run, eight hits,
Speaker 1: two k's. Had a parlay bet yesterday of team total
Speaker 1: through the first five one and a half on the Pirates,
Speaker 1: one and a half on the Blue Jays for both
Speaker 1: of those attacked. Frankie Montass that's smacked in the second inning.
Speaker 1: Shout out to my boy John Legaza who had that
Speaker 1: on his free Patreon sheet. I loved it. Team totals
Speaker 1: are kind of the fun way to play right now.
Speaker 1: First five is really rough. Lines are really rough total bases.
Speaker 1: I'm about to tell you how crazy total bases are
Speaker 1: getting right now. So if you can get some team
Speaker 1: totals in attack, it worked out. And I hit that
Speaker 1: one in the second inning yesterday and that one was
Speaker 1: a nice little plus money two hundred and I had
Speaker 1: a little boost on it for three hundred. So get
Speaker 1: them bets in here. Homer leaderboard, we don't have one.
Speaker 1: We don't have an updated homer and leaderboard, but I
Speaker 1: can update you that we got a tie. Deeblum Manny Machado.
Speaker 1: Homer last night got him tied with high Cubby forty four.
Speaker 1: Forty four Go Cards and Mike Mayor both had Machado
Speaker 1: as well. They are on the heels at forty two,
Speaker 1: tarry down at forty one. We had a little bit
Speaker 1: of action lower getting up, but we have five people
Speaker 1: in the forties and it is a tight race as
Speaker 1: we get to the back half of the year. And
Speaker 1: I think I would have hit my guy as a
Speaker 1: total base prop, but not my actual player. And that
Speaker 1: takes us over to the king of sports betting, even
Speaker 1: the Queen. Yes, bet MGM, let me get this on
Speaker 1: bet MGM, the king. The promo code Lee off one
Speaker 1: thousand dollars risk free bet you can bet today and
Speaker 1: I might wear this. Yes, Cleig, I want to tell
Speaker 1: you a quick story yesterday. If everyone can see, boy,
Speaker 1: this is not this is not a flattering tiara. If
Speaker 1: you don't know on the podcast what's happening, the tiara
Speaker 1: is back. Everybody you can see this is a different
Speaker 1: tiara Because I stepped out of my house and I
Speaker 1: saw a package on my door, and I go, yeah,
Speaker 1: And by the way, I just realized, Craig has absolutely
Speaker 1: no idea what's happening with this. You haven't been around
Speaker 1: for what's going on. So I have a package. I
Speaker 1: set it aside, I go out, I come home and
Speaker 1: I'm like, what is this package? I open it up
Speaker 1: and there are ten tiaras at my front door, and
Speaker 1: I kind of sit there and I go, what is
Speaker 1: happening here? And I realize somebody who has not announced
Speaker 1: themselves sent me ten. I'm gonna call them official BETGM tiaras.
Speaker 1: We will never now be without a tiara for all
Speaker 1: of our reads. So yes, it is officially back on Friday,
Speaker 1: and Clig if you're wondering, our boy Joe Piezopia has
Speaker 1: this beautiful crown that he would always wear, this big
Speaker 1: king's crown. So when he left, I didn't have a crown.
Speaker 1: But my daughter has some tiaras, so I put on
Speaker 1: the tiara and then she hid it from me. So
Speaker 1: someone decided to order. So now we've got some tirras.
Speaker 1: If I do an auction at some point, some game used,
Speaker 1: we'll do game used tiaras at some point. But yes,
Speaker 1: Bet MGM, yeah, they thought you thought you might like that,
Speaker 1: Bet MGM promo code leading off, support them, support us,
Speaker 1: support the Tiara clig. I got four bets for you,
Speaker 1: and I want to get your take on which one
Speaker 1: you like the most. As always two strikeout bets. One
Speaker 1: is the top algorithm play. One is the only plus
Speaker 1: money or the top money plus money play. And then
Speaker 1: same thing with total bases. So the top I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take this off. By the way, we don't need to
Speaker 1: do the whole read with it. It does not it
Speaker 1: is not flattering, fitting on me or anything. The top
Speaker 1: strikeout play and I think the top play of any
Speaker 1: of them today is strikeouts three and a half Cutter
Speaker 1: Crawford with Boston versus Baltimore. It's juiced at minus one
Speaker 1: fifty nine, but they're projecting six and the numbers only
Speaker 1: at three and a half, So that's your top play.
Speaker 1: Your money play over on the betting pros mlbprop cheat
Speaker 1: sheet is Tristan McKenzie for strikeouts five and a half
Speaker 1: is the over under. They project him at almost six
Speaker 1: and a half and it's plus one twenty now on
Speaker 1: the hitters the total bases, the top play is Ruben
Speaker 1: and o'dor so. On the other side, they love Cutter Crawford,
Speaker 1: but they like Rugi. Rugi projected at almost two total bases.
Speaker 1: You only need one, but it's one seventy three. This
Speaker 1: was the wild one. I had to scroll pages to
Speaker 1: find the first plus money today, and the first one
Speaker 1: I found was one Soto on the third page of
Speaker 1: the betting pros cheat sheet. One Soto versus Washington total
Speaker 1: bases one and a half projected it to plus one ten.
Speaker 1: So Clig, big old mouthful, Cutter, Crawford, Tristan McKenzie, Odoor,
Speaker 1: and Sodo considered the juice. What plays do you actually like?
Speaker 2: Well, Copper Crawford one seems pretty safe, and I guess
Speaker 2: that's the reason this, You know as is he you
Speaker 2: know all, he doesn't strike out a ton. You look
Speaker 2: at his outings and he's only had you had to
Speaker 2: go back. He only struck out four on sorry two
Speaker 2: on July twenty eighth, but other than that, you'd have
Speaker 2: to go back to June eighteenth to find an outing
Speaker 2: where he struck out less than three or less than four,
Speaker 2: I guess, per se, So that one seems pretty safe,
Speaker 2: and against Baltimore seemed like you could go with that pick.
Speaker 3: So I do like that one to go over like
Speaker 3: three money one.
Speaker 1: Do you like the McKenzie against Chicago five and a
Speaker 1: half or Soto to total bases versus Washington.
Speaker 2: Mackenzie could is he's just risky and inconsistent, like he's
Speaker 2: been good, but the strikeout totals have been kind of
Speaker 2: all over the place with him.
Speaker 3: So it's highly likely that he could go strike out ten.
Speaker 2: But it's also possible that he goes and you know
Speaker 2: it's a five spot up. I mean, his last doubt
Speaker 2: he only struck out three in six and two thirds.
Speaker 2: You just don't know what you're getting from. Is kind
Speaker 2: of a mixed bag there. The Sodo one, I feel
Speaker 2: pretty good about it. I feel like Soda is going
Speaker 2: to have a big game against his old team, so
Speaker 2: like at some point, so I.
Speaker 1: Would love it to bed have done it last night,
Speaker 1: but I would go with that. So, by the way,
Speaker 1: this is the big mystery too. The mystery is going
Speaker 1: to be who sent them go kart? Says cousin Donnie.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And then right here if Joe knows Welsh's address, so
Speaker 1: everybody knows Joe's cousin Donnie. Donnie lives right down the
Speaker 1: street from me. But here's the key who was in
Speaker 1: an Amazon package. I think I know who it is.
Speaker 1: I'm guessing, and it's it's more of an ITL person
Speaker 1: who is always here. My guess it is Jesse or
Speaker 1: Tummy Lesorta if he comes in here. But who knows
Speaker 1: My address is out there in the IL Army when
Speaker 1: people send things. The mystery of the tiaras will live on.
Speaker 1: We'll try to uncover it. We got plenty, plenty of
Speaker 1: pretty ones. It does not sit very I got to
Speaker 1: figure out how to really like wear it. Well, it's
Speaker 1: a you know what, Clegg just for you. I'll bring
Speaker 1: you one during first pitch. I'll bring you one if.
Speaker 3: You would like game muse, I'll gladly take one.
Speaker 1: Okay, awesome. Over on the DFS side, Draft Kings, FanDuel.
Speaker 1: Here's some plays for today and DraftKings. See McClanahan is
Speaker 1: ten to two, Blake snell is nine to three. Obviously
Speaker 1: you're gonna probably want to play one, big dog. I
Speaker 1: feel like there could be some fading on McClanahan just
Speaker 1: because he struggled a little bit. I like some of
Speaker 1: the lower plays. Miles michelis seven to three and Patrick
Speaker 1: Sandoval seven to two. Over on FanDuel, You're gonna get
Speaker 1: McLanahan at eleven two. Snell is ten to five, Patrick
Speaker 1: Sandoval is eight seven. There's some big implied run totals
Speaker 1: across the board. Milwaukee, San Francisco, Dodgers in Saint Louis
Speaker 1: all over five. I believe the Giants were projected at
Speaker 1: six if I'm remembering correctly. So if you want to
Speaker 1: attack any of the same players that we've kind of
Speaker 1: been doing, you know, take top of the lineup Milwaukee,
Speaker 1: San Francisco, Dodgers and Saint Louis, let's end it out.
Speaker 1: Home run calls guests have been pretty on fire. I
Speaker 1: don't think I've hit all week. I've been so close.
Speaker 1: I talk myself out of one. I talk to myself
Speaker 1: out of shee Leangaliers, Cleig, what do you think? What
Speaker 1: do you got for home run call for today?
Speaker 2: I'm going with Rafael Devers in Baltimore. Jordan Lyle's pitching.
Speaker 2: I think it sets up pretty nicely for him. You know,
Speaker 2: obviously we see the you know part factor totally change
Speaker 2: in Baltimore. I don't think that's affected left handed hitters
Speaker 2: as much. So I like Devers tonight, give me the
Speaker 2: home run call with him. So Raphael Devers is the pick.
Speaker 1: Here, all right? I like it. We've got Wonkey with
Speaker 1: a Patrick Wisdom call. Like that Mayor is going Sodo.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just go back to Goldie. It is a
Speaker 1: diamondback play. That's why I like Michael is Goldie and
Speaker 1: his old against his old team. I like that this
Speaker 1: is a weekend play, obviously, I mean, Wonkey, you can
Speaker 1: change it if you're gonna have somebody else weekend. But
Speaker 1: I'm guessing Mayor is going through the weekend for Sodo.
Speaker 1: I'm going through the weekend for Goldie. You've got Devers
Speaker 1: good calls, and the mystery is gonna live on. Jag
Speaker 1: In Here says Nope, it was not him. Buster says
Speaker 1: Amazon Package it was Jeff Bezos. It could have been.
Speaker 1: I like Wonky's goodness. If I can get your address,
Speaker 1: I'll order an adult male Tiara, which I guarantee, which
Speaker 1: is very true. So the mystery lives on. I don't
Speaker 1: one hundred percent know there are it's out there. We're
Speaker 1: going to try to uncover it. But the tir is
Speaker 1: officially back in our stat line for the day. Doctor
Speaker 1: Glenn has given me an outing a perfect nine, well
Speaker 1: not perfect, but going nine to earned runs nine strikeouts
Speaker 1: is my performance for hosting today, which I've had a
Speaker 1: very good run this week, but it's all thanks to
Speaker 1: the Tiara. It was I got some run support, if
Speaker 1: you will. I gave up to earned runs, but I
Speaker 1: had some run support from that awesome guy right there,
Speaker 1: Chris Cleig and the Tiara. We were able to go
Speaker 1: nine almost like Darvis should have done last night. Get nine,
Speaker 1: give up a couple, get some good strikeouts. That's my performance.
Speaker 1: I wonder what my era was this week, Clig, what's
Speaker 1: going on, my friend? What do you got going down?
Speaker 1: Podcast wise, article wise, anything people need to know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can find the weekly Quick Grades article out
Speaker 2: for hitters and that is should be out today later
Speaker 2: today if not, and that covers hitters for next week,
Speaker 2: so some Monday through Sunday, and I think Devers was
Speaker 2: actually top on that list. I have to pull it
Speaker 2: up and see to confirm that's coming out on Fantasy
Speaker 2: Pros and then Prospects Stashes as well. That's out of
Speaker 2: each Tuesday. We had Brett Baty at the top of
Speaker 2: that list. So that was a clutch call there he
Speaker 2: came up you know, or he got the call a
Speaker 2: few hours after that published, so that was fun to see.
Speaker 2: And then over at Fantracks as well, doing some dynasty
Speaker 2: and prospect work there.
Speaker 3: Oh no, I was wrong on Devers.
Speaker 2: Actually, the top graded out player for next week is Eloy.
Speaker 2: I like ELOI Jmenez a lot, and it's all stat
Speaker 2: based stuff, so Eloy grades out well, He's kind of
Speaker 2: come back strong, so it could be a big week
Speaker 2: for Eloy and honestly, a lot of white Sox graded
Speaker 2: well for next week.
Speaker 1: Well, there you go. Follow him on Twitter at rot Oclegg.
Speaker 1: Follow me on Twitter at is it the Welsh and
Speaker 1: friends come back next week for all the Shenanigans, all
Speaker 1: the fun, the peanuts of cracker Jack, the hosts and
Speaker 1: the guests. Thank you so much for hanging out with
Speaker 1: us this week. I am Princess Welch. That is the
Speaker 1: King Chris Clegg, we are out of here, guys. It
Speaker 1: a great weekend baseball
