It is me Joey p joe Pisapia, and 3 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: today we're going to take a look at the MLB futures. 4 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,319 Speaker 1: Because we are halfway through the season, it's a great 5 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 1: time to reevaluate, reassess, and of course I can't think 6 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 1: of anybody better to help us go through where we 7 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: are in the state of the Union in baseball. Thannariel Epstein. 8 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 1: Of course, you know her from Points bet Usa and 9 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:24,760 Speaker 1: a little thing called MLB Network that she's on all 10 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: the time, as she should be. She does great work 11 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: over there. You'll see her hanging out on the couch. 12 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: What's it like hanging out with all those ex Major 13 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 1: leaguers area, I gotta ask, what's that like? 14 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 2: Not as great as being reunited as you Jelly. 15 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: It's so sweet. 16 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 2: It is cool. The coolest moment I've had recently. 17 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 3: MLB Network just hired Albert Poohols to be one of 18 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 3: their analysts. Albert came into the studio, met everybody. I'm 19 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 3: standing in a circle and I'm texting my dad. I'm 20 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 3: standing in a circle with Albert pooh Hooles Cliff Floyd. 21 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 2: Was in that group. 22 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: Held on, let me pick up all the names, Harold Donald, 23 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: uh huh yeah. 24 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 3: Mike Lowell, Matt Veskurgeon, and Arie all Epstein. Like I'm 25 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 3: looking around, I go, I'm texting my dad on the side. 26 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 2: Dad, this is the craziest moment. 27 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 3: And I work a lot with Cliff Floyd now, which 28 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 3: is awesome. That was the first day I worked with 29 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 3: Mike Lowell, so I still was really kind of in 30 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 3: my oh my gosh, I hated you moment. 31 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 2: Jake Peevee. 32 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 3: I always talk to him about how much I hated 33 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 3: him when he was with the Red Sox when I 34 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 3: worked with Pedro Martinez definitely was one of the top 35 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 3: five moments I've ever had in my career because I'm 36 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 3: just sitting there the whole time and he opens up 37 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 3: the show with Aaron Judge is the who'd they play? 38 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 3: I think he said it was the I don't know. 39 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 3: He said Aaron Judge was someone's daddy, and I lost it. 40 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: He seems like the best guy, Like, he seems like 41 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: the most fun completely, which is funny because he's such 42 00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: a killer on the mound, Like he was so serious 43 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: and every time he seeming the dugout. He's like the 44 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: goofy ist guy, and I love him on TV. He 45 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: does a great job, as do you, and everybody knows 46 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: you as the prop queen. But today we're not talking 47 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 1: about props. So they were going to talk about a 48 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: little bit of futures, and I want to start here with, 49 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: of course the American League Cy Young, which feels like 50 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: a foregone conclusion. Way back we did an episode and 51 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: you can go back and look over on YouTube about 52 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: you know, the futures, all the investments we got Corby 53 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: and Carroll at Foord to one. We did a lot 54 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: of good things. We talked about Otani and making the investment. 55 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: We did it for both, believe it or not, we 56 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 1: did it for both. This for MVP right now, it's 57 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: like it's really tricky because if you look at it 58 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,399 Speaker 1: right now, he is minus four hundred. That's the best 59 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: number you can get for him. It opened up at 60 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,839 Speaker 1: plus two. We put money in it to begin when 61 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 1: right before Aaron Judge got hurt them, I put in 62 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: some investments on him at plus eight hundred to Hedge 63 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: because of the potential of you know, what if the 64 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: angels fall apart and Otani ends up getting traded to 65 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: the National League. That would really just crush everything. So 66 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: do you think that people should be looking at Otani 67 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: as a guy to cash out on or you just 68 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: riding this to the end for better or worse. If 69 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,239 Speaker 1: you've made that investment. 70 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 3: Just write it out. I don't see Otani going anywhere. 71 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 3: I don't see Atani getting traded mid season. The Angels 72 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 3: are as close to the playoffs as they've been in 73 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 3: a decade. The Angels have mic trout shadow Atani on 74 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 3: that mound. They may even be a player at the 75 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 3: deadline and not a seller, solely because they are within 76 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 3: two games of the wild card, four and a half 77 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 3: games of the lead, and the division. That division has 78 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 3: been playing pretty down in regards to Yeah, I know 79 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 3: that the Rangers look good and the as. 80 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 2: Shows you can never sleep on. 81 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 3: It's closer than it's usually is, like the Ashows have 82 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 3: been running away with the West for years. The Angels 83 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 3: are really close for how good or excuse me, the 84 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 3: Angels are really close for how good the Rangers have looked. 85 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 3: Otani isn't gonna get traded because now you're just basically saying, 86 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 3: as the Angels organization. If you trade him, we just 87 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 3: don't ever believe in ourselves. We never want to make 88 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 3: the playoffs because we're going to trade the closest thing 89 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 3: that we've had. Otani is your MVP. Otani is the 90 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 3: one that's gonna win this award. There is unless he's 91 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 3: injured for the second half of the year. There is 92 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 3: nobody who's going to catch Otani. 93 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 2: In the AL. I have a different argument from the 94 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 2: National League. 95 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: All right, the American Actually, let's do that. Okunya opened 96 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: up a plus fourteen hundred, which we all thought was 97 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: worth at least a little speculation money, which we did. 98 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: Then it went all the way down. Right now is 99 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: at minus one thirty. That's the best odds you can 100 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: get over at betting Pros.

But on 109 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: the NL side, Ronald Acunya, you know, he is on 110 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: pace for a thirty sixty season. It's insane. Corbyn Carrol 111 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: has become very interesting as the Arizona Diamondbacks just seem 112 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: to refuse to go away. He he is on a 113 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: fascinating you know, fifteen forty kind of actually the thirty 114 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: forty kind of pace two potentially, And then you've got 115 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: Mookie Bets, Freddy Frieven kind of floating around there too, 116 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: is the big Dodger guys Pee a Lonzo. You know 117 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: that Stock took a hit. So how do you see 118 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: the National League? Is it again like a cooneyed? Is 119 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: the foregone conclusion? Or do you feel like somebody else 120 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: is in this race? 121 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 2: Joe? How do you not even consider at close to it? 122 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 3: Eighteen to one the Marlin second base in Luisa eyes, 123 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 3: a Rise is. 124 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 2: Hitting four hundred. 125 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 3: If a Rise hits four hundred, nonetheless four oh seven, 126 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 3: because the record is four oh six, which was Ted 127 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 3: Williams in nineteen forty one. Ted Williams didn't even win 128 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 3: MVP that year because the Yankees won the World Series 129 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 3: so it went to Joe DiMaggio. 130 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 2: If you hit four. 131 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 3: Oh seven on the season, breaking a record for batting average, 132 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 3: that's exactly what Aaron Judge did last year, and that 133 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 3: it's the sole reason that Aaron Judge Beatotawanni for MVP 134 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 3: was because you made history by beating the al home 135 00:05:59,160 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 3: run record. 136 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 2: If you make history the. 137 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 3: Way that Arise potentially could, if by some craziness, he 138 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 3: hits four oh seven, you've got to give it to him. 139 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 3: I love Ronald dacunya Junior. This is Ronald d'acunya is 140 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 3: a word right now. Hence why he's favored. Stolen bases 141 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 3: batting average, second best batting average in the league, most 142 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 3: stolen bases in the league. 143 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 2: Awesome, it's amazing. 144 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 3: If Ariz doesn't hit four hundred through the season or 145 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 3: four oh seven, then sure it goes to Akunya. 146 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,239 Speaker 2: I just see so much value on a Rise. 147 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 3: He has proven that he can hit five for five 148 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 3: on any given night, doing it for Tide for the 149 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 3: fifth most times already, and by the time that we 150 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 3: hit June second, I think the last one to do 151 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 3: this was Altuve back in twenty seventeen. He was hitting 152 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 3: above four hundred in June. But the fact that Arise 153 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 3: is not in this conversation is a big slight to him. 154 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 2: He should be there. 155 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 3: And again, like I said, Otani is doing something amazing 156 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 3: in the al He's doing stuff we've never seen before 157 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 3: in regard to being top three or even top five 158 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 3: in strikeouts and in on what I think it's ops 159 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 3: that he is in a hitting or. 160 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 2: No sorry home runs. 161 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 3: Obviously, he's leading the league and home runs and he 162 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 3: is top five in strikeouts. The last one to do 163 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 3: that top five in both categories home runs and strikeouts 164 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 3: was Babe Ruth. Now we're talking about Ted Williams comparing 165 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 3: him to Louis Suriyes. 166 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 2: Those are those contrasts that you. 167 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 3: Say you've got to be up for at least inside 168 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 3: the top three of. 169 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: The The difference, though, is Ted Williams is also hitting 170 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: thirty five to forty bombs, and I think that's the 171 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: problem where the media will look at that. Now the 172 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: Marlins are proven they can hang, which I think has 173 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: been fun, unexpected all of that. But at the same time, 174 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: I think, is it an empty four hundred at the 175 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: end of the day, Like I get it, like it's 176 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: a fun record striking out. 177 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 2: I think he has more doubles than strikeouts Arise. 178 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: Yes. But the other thing about Aaron Judge is not 179 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: only was he breaking a record, he was breaking a 180 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: Yankee record, and he is a Yankee, and it's a 181 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: media award, and the media in New York City is 182 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: so much more prevalent, don't you think at the end 183 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: of the day that had so much more to do 184 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: with it than anything else. Is like that combination of 185 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: all those things. A Rise is hitting four hundred, that's 186 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: a great story, that's fun, it's historic. But is it 187 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: empty because of the lack of power and maybe the 188 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: lack of prestige that you have with the Marlins compared 189 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: to the Yankees. I know your Yankee fans a little 190 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: of question, but I'm gonna ask it anyway. 191 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 3: I just think that people don't expect a Rise to 192 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 3: hit four oh seven by October. 193 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 2: I just don't. I think it's not. 194 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 3: Getting talked about because no one expects it to actually 195 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,439 Speaker 3: be done. Whereas with Aaron Judge, he was on such 196 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 3: a pace earlier in the year. By the time that 197 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 3: we were at the All Star break, the Yankees were 198 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 3: on that crazy tear where they were winning like twenty games, 199 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 3: the Yankees were being talked about. 200 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 2: Aaron Judge was a huge part of that. 201 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 3: Now that Aaron Judge is gone, it does show you 202 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 3: how much value Aaron Judge brings to the Yankees, who 203 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 3: since since he left was is now hitting below two hundred, 204 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 3: one of the worst in baseball in that span. 205 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 2: Whereas Luis arrives, you can make the argument. 206 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 3: That, well, the Marlins aren't number one in the division, 207 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 3: blah blah blah. 208 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 2: But I don't know. I still yes, there is a prestige. 209 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 3: I don't believe Derek Jeter would have been Derek Jeter 210 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 3: without being a Yankee, the same way I think Aaron 211 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 3: Judge knew he had to stay in New York with 212 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 3: the Yankees because if he left, it would have tarnished 213 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 3: his reputation. If he became a Giant, being a Yankee 214 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 3: is way more prominent. I get that Otani's on the Angels. 215 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 3: Who cares about the Angels? Yet we're talking about the 216 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 3: Angels and Otani every day because he gives us nothing 217 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 3: else to do but talk about himself, true selfish man 218 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 3: in baseball, and all we have to do is talk 219 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 3: about him, because how can you not every night he's 220 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 3: doing something insane and he's starting tonight, Otani I just arrived. 221 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 2: We're gonna have to talk about it. If he's sitting 222 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 2: four hundred in August. 223 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 3: If. 224 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: And if the Marlins hang, they've got to hang. 225 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 2: And so you need MVP. You need MVP to be 226 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 2: a team winning award. 227 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: I don't need it. But Ronald Acunya and the Braves 228 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: are running away with the East, and Ronald Acunya is 229 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: on a pace for a thirty sixty season and he's 230 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: sitting for a high batting average. She was like two forty. 231 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, second highest batting average in the league. 232 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, that to me is when you start to go. 233 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: It's just tough for a rise to get it. But 234 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 1: I like it. I think Arise is an interesting guy 235 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: that there will be more talk about it if he 236 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: starts to flirt with that number when we go past 237 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: the All Star break. I think George Brett was the 238 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: last guy in real He think he get like three 239 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: to ninety at one point. He was like at September 240 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: first or something to that effect, so he was pretty close. 241 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: He was right around there back in the day. This 242 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: is eighty or eighty one but I'm old. Let's talk 243 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: about National League Sy Young here for a second. Zach 244 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 1: Gallon right now plus two hundred. He opened at plus fourteen. 245 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: He's one of our favorite guys. His splits are interesting, 246 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: though much better at home than on the road this year. 247 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 1: If you look at some of the other naturally guy 248 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: Spencer Strider, who another big opening plus fifteen hundred, This 249 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 1: one we loved. He is the strikeout king, good bounce 250 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: back start yesterday after a rough month. He's adding some 251 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,319 Speaker 1: bad star for Spencer Schreider standards. And then of course, 252 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: you know, you can look at the Webbs and the 253 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: Wheelers and some other guys in the National League, and 254 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: there's also a guy him Kershaw. Why I keep pointing 255 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 1: out who is now six to one? Where I feel like, 256 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: just like Verlander, there's the narrative that you can build 257 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: of Wow, you know, Clinton Kershaw hasn't had thirty starts 258 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: in a while. If you can hit that number and 259 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: the Dodgers end up winning this division or at least 260 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: getting up into that tier again, that people almost want 261 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: to give him this award because the other guys are 262 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 1: still relatively new to the voting public. How do you 263 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: feel about National League si. 264 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 3: Young Kershaw is the name that stood out to me. 265 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 3: I had to do this for my other show earlier. 266 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: I've only got like seven I mean, it's a lot 267 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: of shows. 268 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 2: Am I allowed to mention the sportsbook on here? 269 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 3: You can I mention whatever you want, Okay, I didn't know. 270 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 3: We're friends, so we have to comply by no for 271 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 3: points bet and NBC we're doing a hit discussing all 272 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 3: the futures. Also, they brought up Cy Young. I hate 273 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 3: giving out favorites. There's no point to giving out a 274 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 3: favorite at the moment because, first off, these awards are 275 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 3: so fluky. 276 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 2: Injuries can hurt you in any given day. You're gonna what. 277 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 3: Lay minus one forty on Ronaldcuna to win MVP and 278 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 3: win one hundred bucks for it, whereas you could bet 279 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 3: a minus one forty tonight on a money line and 280 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 3: get that same win. 281 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 2: You have to bet more money on that. 282 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 3: If I'm waiting in the futures market, I wanted to 283 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 3: be a nice payout. You could have gotten any of 284 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 3: these players for longer than ten to. 285 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 2: One odds three months ago. 286 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 3: I'm not going to take a number that's so bad 287 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 3: that you're laying juice on it. 288 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 2: That's why I've got to look to someone. 289 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 3: Who's getting me okay value. At least I need it 290 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 3: to be longer than five to one. Clinton Kershaw. I 291 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 3: saw him at six to one, and yeah, you have 292 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 3: that same number. 293 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 2: Two. Kershaw stood out because, especially. 294 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 3: After last night, and this isn't just recency bias, Kershaw's 295 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 3: era is lower than Gallon and he has more strikeouts 296 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 3: than Gallen. 297 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 2: Kershaw is at a point. 298 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 3: Now where in the last few years he has felt 299 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 3: like the man getting pushed out. Kershaw, in a sense, 300 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 3: there was a Walker Pueler. There are all these young 301 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 3: pitchers and the Dodgers or going toation that we're getting 302 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 3: more attention than him because they were young and they 303 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 3: were flashy, and Kershaw's very hot and cold. You don't 304 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 3: know what you're gonna get from him. He's older. He 305 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 3: can't even make an opening. 306 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 2: Day start because every year he ends up on the il. 307 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 3: This is the year that Kershaw is gonna feel needed 308 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 3: all those injuries to that rotation. Now you're the veteran 309 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 3: future Hall of Famer that you're getting these young pictures 310 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 3: like a Bobby Miller coming up from the Dodgers' Triple 311 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 3: A organization. 312 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 2: Who are looking really good. 313 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 3: But you have to be that mentor to all of 314 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 3: these young pictures now because you want to win a 315 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 3: World Series six to one for a picture that is 316 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 3: up there right now in strikeouts and erasce three ERA 317 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 3: and one hundred strikeouts. I don't mind Kershaw six to 318 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 3: one with all that pressure on him to keep the Dodgers' 319 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 3: rotation and team afloat. 320 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: Well, Urius hasn't pitched all that great. Plus of the injury, 321 00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: ginger guard and cinderguard have been nothing. We have Tony Gonsolin, 322 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: who you look at the deeper stats on him, it 323 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: is threading the needle. So Kershaw has really been that 324 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: rotation I would argue for the Dodgers. So I see, 325 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: I'm down on that too, and I already bet him. 326 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: I think when it was ten to one for Kershaw, 327 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 1: because you could feel the narratives start to build, and 328 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: I think that's the whole point. 329 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 2: So if you haven't you said Media Driven Narrative Award. 330 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 3: If you get Kershaw to have a two seven ERA 331 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 3: with top three, top two in strikeouts in baseball by 332 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 3: September thirtieth, and your team is still winning its division, 333 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 3: because after you guys. 334 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 2: Were down and out, you're in the third place of 335 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 2: the division behind the Diamondbacks, and then the Giants are 336 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 2: making a comeback and the Padres are top. 337 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 3: Listen, I've said it, and I know we're going to 338 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 3: talk some divisions, but I said it has been a 339 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 3: little fishy that the books have been quick to now 340 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 3: move the Astros to behind the Rangers in the odds 341 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 3: for second short of Ods now Houston to win the West, 342 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 3: yet they're in third place of the West. The Dodgers 343 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 3: have been in third place of the West. They still 344 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 3: have the Dodgers that close to minus two hundred to 345 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 3: win the division. 346 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 2: They flit the Astros. That should tell you something. 347 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, it definitely does. And I think that it's the 348 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: same concept of last year when we were all over 349 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: justin Verlander twenty five to one. That's when we invested 350 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: him in cy Young because Wow, the narrative was set there, 351 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: and then every time it went down and down, and 352 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: we kept doubling and doubling and adding on to that, 353 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: and then at one point McClanahan went past him, and 354 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: then two weeks later McClanahan vanished, and that was it, 355 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: and it was Verlander's award. It's starting to feel like 356 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: Kirshall could be that guy too. Also, you know, Ariel 357 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: is the prop Queen, so if you don't already follow 358 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: her on Twitter, you should because she's always got amazing 359 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: props in Ario Epstein.

Let's talk about 374 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: the Rookie of the Year National League feels again, we 375 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: refuse to get off the Corbyn Carroll train. We love 376 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: Corbin Carrol here we almost won't even hear anyone else 377 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: talk about. Ellie de la Cruz is fun, he's exciting, 378 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: he is energetic. But barring an injury to Corbyn Carroll, 379 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like there's enough time for Eli de 380 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: Lacruze to catch Corbyn Carroll. Does that feel right to you? 381 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 3: Corbyn Carroll has been doing what Ronald Lacuna is doing, 382 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 3: hitting for average, scaling bases. 383 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 2: He's fun to watch. 384 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 3: His team is doing really well in the first place. 385 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: Of the see thing for power, which is the thing 386 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: that everybody keeps saying, Well, we don't know he's going 387 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: to hit for power. It's ridiculous. We all everybody who 388 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: really is worth their salt in the baseball community, if 389 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: you listen to them and listen to me. I kept 390 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: telling him right, he is going to hit for power. 391 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: He's going to hit thirty home runs this year. People 392 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: was like, nah, maybe fifteen twenty. He's like, you're nuts. 393 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,880 Speaker 1: He has fast sixteen, he's got sixteen already. He's got 394 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: fast hands, he's quick to the ball, he has got that, and. 395 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 3: He's ste home run team's having success. I can't bet 396 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 3: against Corbyn Carrol. I agree with your sentiment when I 397 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 3: looked at the list you sent me. Ellie dela Cruz is, 398 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 3: of course the name that stands out because he's flashy. 399 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 3: The Reds won ten of his first twelve games up 400 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 3: the majors. He didn't he had a hit through his 401 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 3: worst five or six games his first in the big leagues. 402 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 2: Then they kind of got to him. 403 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 3: That's the thing, though, we've seen the sample size of 404 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 3: Carrel where Carol has been proving that no matter how 405 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 3: people adjust to him, he's still hitting the same and 406 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 3: stealing bases when he gets on. We've seen them get 407 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 3: Ellie dela Cruz. Pitching has gotten to him. He's gone 408 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 3: over and we've seen a very small sample size. So 409 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 3: let's see how Ellie de la Cruz does once the 410 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 3: pitchers have more tape on him and know how to 411 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 3: get to him. Can he make the proper adjustments that 412 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 3: clearly Corbyn Carroll has been able to make. It's just 413 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 3: if you've got Carol on the same level as he's 414 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 3: been playing now throughout the entire season, unless he goes 415 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 3: in some major slump. Corbyn Carroll has been in the 416 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 3: big leagues longer than Elie de la Cruz. That quantity 417 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 3: is gonna win if it's a tie at the end 418 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:23,360 Speaker 3: of the season. 419 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, and Corbyn Carroll's again the different strike zone too, 420 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: Ellie dela Cruz is a much bigger strike zone. I 421 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: think it's a lot harder to pitch to Carol and 422 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: Carl's style of play. Like I said, slump proof, he's 423 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,120 Speaker 1: just this guy. He just makes a ton of contact. 424 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: He makes hard contact. The power is good. What about 425 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: the American League? This is one that I've honestly waited on. 426 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: The only investment that I made was a duo of 427 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: Corbyn Carroll and Gunner Henderson preseason, which I thought would 428 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: be fun. But outside of that, you know, josh Young 429 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: is at the top, He's a plus one ninety. Yoshida 430 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: is at plus two seventy five. So they flip flopped 431 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks where Yahidah was kind 432 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 1: of up there for a while, but Gunnar Henderson started 433 00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: to turn things around. He's now at plus five hundred. 434 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: Do you see any change here as the second half 435 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: drags on, where Gunnar Henderson gets back to the top 436 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: of this award. You think it's Josh Young's to lose. 437 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 2: Hmm, that's a good one. 438 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: I asked that question. 439 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, that race is stumping me because me too, because 440 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 3: you've got three players that get so hot and cold 441 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 3: like Yashidah and Henderson really just gets so hot and cold. 442 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 3: You'll get you cheeta on this trajectory of oh my gosh, 443 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 3: can he ever get like is he ever going to 444 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 3: get out? And then he You're like, oh, yeah he can. 445 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 3: The American League is not as dominant as this National 446 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:44,199 Speaker 3: League race. I would say it's Josh Young's award to 447 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 3: lose solely because of the position Texas is in. He's 448 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 3: even been talked about for All Star Like. There are 449 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 3: just certain things with Josh Young that the way he's 450 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 3: slid in so just seamlessly into Texas, I forget that 451 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:58,640 Speaker 3: he's a rookie. 452 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, because he may of last year and that was 453 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: that was the big concern, is that because he missed 454 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: the entire season practically last season with the injury, that 455 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: could he come up here and just be that guy? 456 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: And we loved him in fantasy, but I didn't think 457 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 1: he was going to be somebody would challenge for the 458 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: rookie of the year to be honest right me. 459 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 2: Either. 460 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 3: The thing is, I don't full transparency. I don't bet 461 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 3: Rookie of the year words usually just because I. 462 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 2: Don't trust rookies. I just don't. I don't trust. I 463 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 2: don't trust baseball. I don't trust rookies. I don't trust. 464 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: Sounds like trust issues, Ariel, Maybe there's another podcast we 465 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: got to talk. 466 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I should definitely, I definitely have some trust issues. No, 467 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 2: I'm just kidding. 468 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 3: I just I don't trust that people are going to 469 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,679 Speaker 3: be good all the time. And that's my trust issue 470 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 3: because I am a glass half empty kind of person, 471 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,679 Speaker 3: where at least you could be pleasantly surprised when people 472 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 3: surprised you because you are so negative about the way. 473 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, low expectations, expectations. 474 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:54,640 Speaker 2: High rewards. 475 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 3: I just don't like betting on rookies of the year. 476 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 3: And I always feel in every sport Rookie of the 477 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 3: Year ends up being such like eventually someone just takes 478 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 3: it and like runs with it and like Corbyn Kyle 479 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 3: for example. 480 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: Well this is usually that time. And it's funny because 481 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 1: Corman Carroll is that first guy in a couple of years. 482 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 1: I agree with you, rookie of the others one I wait for. 483 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: I typically maybe a little bit here and there. I 484 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 1: know Volpi when he was coming breaking camp, everyone was 485 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: so excited about him. He was the number one guy 486 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,360 Speaker 1: on the board at one point. Is crazy, and that's 487 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 1: why you know you have trust issues. You watch Anthony 488 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: Volpe and you go, this is not a good investment. 489 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 1: But now we're in the second half, and if Gunner 490 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: Henderson to me, starts to turn it on, he could 491 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: become very interesting because he was the favorite going into 492 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: the season before all these other guys started to come. 493 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: Rashida's and the other guy's popped here. So if he 494 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: can get back on track, and it seems like he is, 495 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 1: good things can happen.

Tell me about the Texas Rangers, 513 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: because we talked about them today. They still find themselves 514 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,439 Speaker 1: at the top without Jacob deGrom Nadi Ivaldi. Not a 515 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 1: perfect start. Last night, velosity was down a little bit. 516 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: They're at minus one fifteen. Do you think they can 517 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 1: hold on to this division? 518 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 3: I wouldn't bet it. I wouldn't bet minus one fifteen. 519 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,679 Speaker 3: You are an idiot if you're betting minus one fifteen 520 00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 3: on the Rangers to win this division with the Astros 521 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 3: in it, because if by fluke, not even fluke, if 522 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 3: by realistic chance, the Astros find their way to first 523 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 3: place again, which they likely will at some point in 524 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 3: the season, not saying they win it, then you're going 525 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 3: to get the Rangers at two to one even plus 526 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 3: one fifty? 527 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 2: Why are you going to take. 528 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 3: The worst possible number that you could have ever gotten 529 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 3: on the Rangers? Be at what because you're scared it's 530 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 3: gonna hit minus one fifty? Then great, take the l 531 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 3: that you didn't hit the Rangers before the season. You 532 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 3: could have gotten them for so much better of a 533 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 3: price than this. Don't ever take division winner at a 534 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 3: worse price unless you are one hundred percent certain because 535 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 3: the entire Astros are like suspended again on the season 536 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 3: that you think that the Texas Rangers. 537 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 2: Are winning this? No, no, no, don't bet this. Please. 538 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 1: I hope those people who are listening do watch on 539 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: the YouTube channel because Ariel Epstein just got real Italian there. 540 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: She gave you the full this, which is something you know, 541 00:23:58,640 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: when I talk, people. 542 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 2: Expect you bring it out of me, even though I do. 543 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:02,439 Speaker 3: I do. 544 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: It's when you talk all these in New York people 545 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: and the Italians, you know, just start talking with your hands, 546 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 1: is what happens. What about you said that is now 547 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: the time to bet them at plus two thirty five 548 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 1: because of that flip flop, because Alvarez is out because 549 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: the market has soured a little bit, Is this the 550 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: time to get back in on the Astros? 551 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 2: And sure, yeah it is. Plus you can I know, 552 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 2: I'm telling you, I told you. 553 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 3: The only thing that makes me nervous is that the 554 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 3: book was quick to move against Houston. However, plus two 555 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 3: thirty five is so good value on the Astros. Alvarez 556 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 3: will come back at some point likely and what so 557 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 3: probably after my guess they're going to hold him out 558 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 3: till after the All Star break. 559 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 2: Maybe end of July, beginning of August. You get him back. 560 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 3: Maybe the Astros make a play at the deadline for somebody. 561 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 3: It's going to be between the Astros and the Dodgers 562 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 3: who's going to get the big picture on the market. 563 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 3: One of those one of those teams is going to 564 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 3: go after a starter because they both kind of need 565 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 3: it now. The Astros really more so need hitting. They 566 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 3: just their bats have flamed out. I was talking to 567 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 3: Jake Peevee about this, and he's won two World Series. 568 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 3: Jake peebe said, it is very common that after winning 569 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 3: World Series, your team starts off the first half slow. 570 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 3: It happens every year. Everyone else. You've been playing now 571 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 3: for a month longer than everyone else. Sure, by the 572 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 3: time that you're done with the World Series, everyone starts 573 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,880 Speaker 3: ramping up their preseason warm ups and routines, and you're 574 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 3: letting your team rest. So now your World Series contending 575 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 3: team or winning team has now is now a month 576 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 3: behind everyone else. For the next season, you get to 577 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 3: spring training, you're still letting your guys rest. You're still 578 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 3: giving them that extra time because their bodies just went 579 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 3: through a whole extra part of the year. 580 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 2: PV said, it's. 581 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 3: Very normal for a team like Houston to act this 582 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 3: way and be this way, especially with the bats. I 583 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 3: was like, it's not the pitching. They're pitching's fine. They're 584 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 3: pitching still a top ten unit throughout baseball. I'm not 585 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,360 Speaker 3: concerned about it. Maybe they get another starter. However, once 586 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 3: Alvarez comes back in the lineup, this team eventually a 587 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 3: team of experienced veteran players who makes the playoffs all 588 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 3: the time. Plus two thirty five not bad value. They're 589 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 3: not going to just lay down and die. They are 590 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 3: four or five games back of Texas, it's not like 591 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 3: they're so. 592 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 2: Down and out. 593 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 3: Texas doesn't have the experience and they don't have their ace. 594 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,479 Speaker 3: De Gram they invested so much money into Grom and 595 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 3: they have these other pictures. I don't see the Rangers 596 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 3: necessarily being such a player for a starter come the 597 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 3: trade deadline, the way that the Astras and the. 598 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 2: Dodgers could be. 599 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, what about the Cincinnati Reds. They find 600 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 1: themselves at the top of this division. It's been a 601 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: fun story. Yeah, it's plus four forty. Do you want 602 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 1: to wager in this or no? 603 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 3: I don't mind it because it's good value at plus 604 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 3: four forty. I think there's better value on the board 605 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 3: though for more reliable teams. 606 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 2: The Reds are very young. 607 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 3: I would actually rather go for like Reds to make 608 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 3: the playoffs kind. 609 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 1: Of thing, because that to me too, I agree, yeah. 610 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 3: Reds to make the playoffs because the inexperience could potentially 611 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 3: get them there. 612 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 2: I love that Joey Vado is back. 613 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 3: You've got a better end player now, who's more excited 614 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 3: than he's ever been in his life to be in 615 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 3: Cincinnati playing comes he leaves this team completely separately then 616 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,680 Speaker 3: or differently than the way that he came back to it. 617 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 3: It's a fun young unit. They're going to hit a 618 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 3: lull at some point through the season. And who better 619 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 3: to get the Reds through than such an experienced and 620 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,120 Speaker 3: fun player like Joey Vado who's just appreciating every last 621 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,400 Speaker 3: moment he has in the sport. I think the Reds 622 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 3: are a fun play At plus floor forty, this division 623 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 3: is absolutely atrocious, and you just anybody. 624 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 2: It really is anyone's race. 625 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,479 Speaker 3: You're talking about the Reds and the Pirates, who are 626 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 3: longer than sixty to one to win the division before 627 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:29,640 Speaker 3: the season started. 628 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 2: And now you're at plus four forty. 629 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 3: You're still getting really good value for a team that's 630 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 3: proving that they could be up there. Hunter Green being 631 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 3: hurt scares me a little bit. Their pitching scares me 632 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 3: for sure. The Brewers have way better pitching, especially if 633 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 3: you get back some healthy pitching with like a woodrupper burns, 634 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 3: like if everybody gets healthier by the end of the season. 635 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 3: The Brewers pitching is way better than the Reds, which 636 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 3: is why the Brewers experience and they're pitching is what 637 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 3: could it's probably. 638 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 2: Going to get them to win this division. 639 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 3: The Reds if you going to make the playoffs, bet 640 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 3: I think is probably what two to one. You can 641 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 3: probably get pretty good value there still and at least 642 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 3: you have the wild cards option, like it's an optional. 643 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, especially with the expanded wildcard, that makes a lot 644 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: more sense to me too, And I'm with you to 645 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: in the Brewers. They just can't seem to get out 646 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 1: of their own way. I mean, the Cardinals really can't 647 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 1: seem to get out of their own way. But the 648 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: Brewers to me, are that other team where you're right 649 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: the rotation gets healthy. They haven't hit this year. They 650 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: just haven't. You're waiting for these guys like a dumbs 651 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: and stopped waiting for not me. I stopped waiting years 652 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: ago for that. All right, let's talk al NL winners 653 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 1: and World Series. If you are looking at the board 654 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: right now for the America League, the National League to 655 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: represent in the World Series, who do you want to 656 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: put money on. I'm still going San Diego because I 657 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: still believe that that Padre team is just too good 658 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: to be true. There plus eleven hundred. You want to 659 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: talk about good numbers. You can make an investment, a 660 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: small one here if it gets cut in half, because 661 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: they really have a good second half, you could double 662 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: down on that and continue to grow and invest in it. 663 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: That's where I'm going for the National League, for the 664 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: American League. For me personally, I'm still open to ideas. 665 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: So do you have one for me in the American 666 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: League and who's your National League one? 667 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 2: I have two World Series bets all right? 668 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: Ooh already not currently. 669 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 3: I'll give you my updated ones. I have two that 670 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 3: I have from preseason. I got the Raise at twenty 671 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 3: five to one, and I've got the Padres at eighteen 672 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 3: to one. 673 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: Yes, I have the Padres at eighteen as well. I 674 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: have that early Padre And now it's time for Joey 675 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: p to go and then again to the projects once more. 676 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 2: I'm with you. 677 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 3: The Padres at eleven to one or this is the 678 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 3: league winner, so the World Series winner the one. Yeah, 679 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 3: twenty two to one World Series. Still great value there 680 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 3: for World Series. I don't even mind the league at 681 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 3: eleven to one for the Padres to win the National League. 682 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 3: But we're saying World Series, okay, talking value. Astro still 683 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 3: have great value at twelve to one. Maybe they get 684 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 3: back and lose in the World Series. We haven't seen 685 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 3: a back to back winner. And honestly, this is the 686 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 3: time to invest in the Astros. Forget the division. If 687 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,719 Speaker 3: they get into the playoffs. You're betting them to win 688 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 3: the World Series twelve to one on a team that 689 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 3: opened up the year at plus seven point fifty. You're 690 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 3: getting a great Bilow situation. And honestly, if they make 691 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 3: it into the World Series and you could hedge and 692 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 3: bet the other side on a twelve to one play 693 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 3: because odds are unless the Astros are playing the Braves, 694 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 3: my guess is that the Astros are favored in that 695 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 3: World Series. So you're getting great value at twelve to 696 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 3: one on Houston. So that would be my American League 697 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 3: play at the moment, because I don't trust the Rangers 698 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 3: and their inexperienced to get through the playoffs. I don't 699 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 3: trust the Twins. I don't trust the Yankees because if 700 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 3: it's Yankees, Astros and the alc As the Yankees lose 701 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 3: again in Game. 702 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 2: Five Tampa Bay, there's no value here. 703 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 3: At plus six fifty because I had them at twenty 704 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 3: five to one to win the World Series preseason, you're 705 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 3: getting the absolute worst case on here. I would say 706 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 3: Houston and the Padres are the best value to win 707 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 3: the World Series. 708 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: That was my preseason bet was Houston and Padres as well, 709 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 1: So before we get in there for the World Series. 710 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna stay true to that as well. So 711 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: great minds think alike here on that. I don't believe 712 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: in the Dodgers. That's the one that I keep pushing 713 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: and pushing in preseason. But if the Dodgers go out 714 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: there and make the right move and had Shane Bieber 715 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: had another starting pitcher or two, that would change the 716 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 1: calculus for me.
