Speaker 1: from mine five guy Bro say, Francis franc stand ball
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen yours and with that we wilcome you
Speaker 1: inside Studio thirty four. This is your b FFS Action
Speaker 1: now or Frank Stample, Greg Susman here with you to
Speaker 1: help break down everything you need to know about tonight's
Speaker 1: MLB contest. Of course, we'll take a look at the
Speaker 1: NBA Finals game number three tomorrow night. We'll take a
Speaker 1: look at some of the props and our prop goes
Speaker 1: a Wegel segment. We'll give you your best bets forever
Speaker 1: coming up a little later on in the show, but
Speaker 1: we start Frank with the big news that Dallas Kaiko,
Speaker 1: Greig Kimberll they're gonna sign, and it feels like Kaiko's
Speaker 1: probably the favorite to sign with the New York Yankees.
Speaker 1: But before any of that, I just sleep, Man, How
Speaker 1: did I sleep? I slept pretty well. I'm doing al right, Greggy.
Speaker 1: I'm excited, man, we got it. There's a lot going
Speaker 1: on in baseball. It was a little bit of a
Speaker 1: light night last night, but we got a lot to
Speaker 1: talk about tonight, full slate of action, everything going on
Speaker 1: with Kaiko and Kimberall. But overall, I slept well. How
Speaker 1: did you sleep, buddy? I slept actually amazingly, to be honestly,
Speaker 1: Like we wound up watching a little bit of the Bachelor,
Speaker 1: Bachelorette Bachelorette, and after that, all right, we watched the Bachelorette,
Speaker 1: and then maybe I guess I was so tired after
Speaker 1: watching the Bachelorette. It takes a lot out of you.
Speaker 1: I had a slumber. I had had it with slumber,
Speaker 1: and then I woke up to the news from Mark
Speaker 1: fine Sand of MLB dot Com saying that Dallas kaikol
Speaker 1: it seems like, as of now the favorite seemed to
Speaker 1: be the Braves and the Yankees. He updated that sweet
Speaker 1: minutes later by saying everything that he knows, the Yankees
Speaker 1: are the favorites to sign Yikal. The big question I
Speaker 1: have isn't about fastball velocity, isn't about k rate, It's
Speaker 1: not about type of picture he will be in the
Speaker 1: Yankee stadium. Frank, my big question for you is what
Speaker 1: will he be like pitching with that his beard. That's
Speaker 1: a pretty fair question, right because we have no data
Speaker 1: when it comes to Dallas Kaiko pitching without a beard.
Speaker 1: All we have is his career right now, and that's
Speaker 1: a three point six six e R eight, a pretty
Speaker 1: good career at that great we're talking about someone who
Speaker 1: has won a cy young now, skills have diminished a
Speaker 1: little bit over the past couple of seasons. I have
Speaker 1: question marks about Yankee stadium, but without a beard, I
Speaker 1: can't even imagine it change things. Brian Wilson a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago, without a beard, it could change. That
Speaker 1: could obviously change things, and it's something that we have
Speaker 1: to consider. It reminds me of remember CC a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago went on a diet. No no, no,
Speaker 1: no, no no, we need CC the way that we like.
Speaker 1: He's gotta eat his Captain Crone, gotta eat his fast food.
Speaker 1: When you when you slip down, things don't always go on.
Speaker 1: Does Kiko need the Beard five man? All right? But
Speaker 1: in all series is forget all that. How does Kigo
Speaker 1: fit in with the New York GA He's twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: Does he help them when this division get to the playoffs, postseason,
Speaker 1: Wild World Series, all that stuff. Well, he would help
Speaker 1: tremendously for the Yankees, I think more than he would
Speaker 1: for fantasy baseball owners because he's someone that can eat Endings.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is a picture who you
Speaker 1: know has dealt with injuries. But three of the past
Speaker 1: five years, over two d Endings pitched and you know
Speaker 1: he already hasn't pitched so far this season. So I
Speaker 1: think that gives you a little bit more length, some
Speaker 1: longevity for this season, not only for the regular season,
Speaker 1: for the postseason as well. If the Yankees were to
Speaker 1: sign him, And you also have to bring into question
Speaker 1: when it comes to the Yankees pitching staff to bring
Speaker 1: O Verman, He's probably going to land in the bullpen
Speaker 1: at some point. Do we necessarily agree with that decision? Uh,
Speaker 1: he's pitched so well. I would love to see him
Speaker 1: stay in the rotation. But the way that everything, the
Speaker 1: way that things go in baseball nowadays, is he's probably
Speaker 1: going to be on an ending's limit. They'll move into
Speaker 1: the bullpen so they get a picture in Dallas Kaigo,
Speaker 1: who can eat some endings. Again, Greg, the skills are diminishing,
Speaker 1: but he has big game experience, and I think overall
Speaker 1: he would help the Yankees a lot. You would obviously
Speaker 1: help the yank is a ton and the almost cloud
Speaker 1: hanging over this team is Louise severe now and when
Speaker 1: he comes back, and it's presumed after the All Star break,
Speaker 1: but but who knows he just started throwing. The Yankees have,
Speaker 1: as everybody knows, has been throttled with injuries this year,
Speaker 1: and Dallas Kiko's a name that should help, but again
Speaker 1: it's just a name. We've seen so many of these
Speaker 1: guys come back in June and not be themselves, not
Speaker 1: being able to get it going. And when the Yankees invest,
Speaker 1: however much money they're going to invest in a Dallas Kuiko,
Speaker 1: they didn't even help now. And yeah, he's starting a
Speaker 1: hundred pitches and in simulated games and whatnot. But it's
Speaker 1: not the same thing. He's gonna have to go build
Speaker 1: up that arm. He's gonna have to face real minor
Speaker 1: league talent before getting up to the majors. You're looking
Speaker 1: at not signing tomorrow for instance, and then immediately jumping
Speaker 1: into the starting rotation. You're looking at at least ever,
Speaker 1: say three minor league starts. Yeah, I think that's fair
Speaker 1: to say probably two to three weeks until we would
Speaker 1: see you know, ko in a major leag So by
Speaker 1: then that's Severino could be back. Oh not Yeah. When
Speaker 1: it comes to Severno, I as a Yankee fan personally,
Speaker 1: as a baseball fan, I wouldn't expect anything from him
Speaker 1: this year. And and that's just me. That's not me
Speaker 1: being a pessimist. I think that's me being a realist.
Speaker 1: I Mean, he's dealt with some pretty severe injuries this season,
Speaker 1: and you have to think about the long term future
Speaker 1: when it comes to Severino, so you can easily suffer
Speaker 1: another setback and then at that point you probably just
Speaker 1: shut him down for the season. So when it comes
Speaker 1: to Severino, I wouldn't really expect anything. Uh, and then
Speaker 1: anything you actually get from him would be a positive
Speaker 1: but you know, the uh signing Dallas Kiko I think
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense for the Yankees because you
Speaker 1: wouldn't have to give up any trade assets. And you know,
Speaker 1: if it turns out that Severino can't make it back
Speaker 1: this year, they still might have to make another trade
Speaker 1: for a bumb Gardener or a Marcus Stroman something like that.
Speaker 1: So we'll see ultimately what happens. It seems like it's
Speaker 1: down to a two team race between the Yankees and
Speaker 1: the Braves. Another name the throw out there with the Yankees,
Speaker 1: massive bumb Gardener. We're talking about him in a little
Speaker 1: bit because he may have that New York audition coming tonight. Now,
Speaker 1: as much as people have talked about Dallas Kiko, it's
Speaker 1: always related to Craig Kimbro. Now that the draft he's
Speaker 1: underway for Major League Baseball, bull Kimball kaikl eligible to
Speaker 1: sign without giving without a team losing draft pick. Conversation
Speaker 1: cost him nothing but money. And we mentioned Shirman, we
Speaker 1: mentioned bum Garner, and there's always relievers out there on
Speaker 1: the market, but you don't want the penny prospects to
Speaker 1: go get these guys. You just have to pay a
Speaker 1: little bit of money. We mentioned Kaiko potentially to the Yankees.
Speaker 1: The Braves are another favorite that we heard, and that
Speaker 1: brings us to Craig Kimberle, who everyone needs bullpen help. Obviously.
Speaker 1: The Braves are a team that certainly comes to mind
Speaker 1: is they've lost their closer for the season that traded
Speaker 1: them away. Their second closers now on the Miners. Right,
Speaker 1: So Luke Jackson's gotten the job done, But I don't
Speaker 1: know how much trust they have on Luke Jackson getting
Speaker 1: them to the postseason and relying on him. The Minnesota
Speaker 1: Twins and one of the best records in baseball, as
Speaker 1: dudes have Bay raised, they both have bullpen issues. Say
Speaker 1: you can be saved for the Cubs, whose closer hasn't
Speaker 1: played pitched the game this season. The Milwaukee Brewers always
Speaker 1: rely on their bullpen. It's like seventy five teams they
Speaker 1: just named that could use a guy that Craig Kimberle,
Speaker 1: and yet he remains unsigned. Yeah, but it seems like
Speaker 1: right now, you know, we've heard a bunch of different teams.
Speaker 1: As you just mentioned Greg, I think you know the
Speaker 1: fact that he's played for the Atlanta Braves in the past.
Speaker 1: He came up with the Atlanta Braves, and you know
Speaker 1: you mentioned Luke Jackson. He's done a fine job, but uh,
Speaker 1: you know a lot of different bullpens can use a
Speaker 1: player like Craig Campbell. You look at what he's done
Speaker 1: in his career, Greg Over fourteen case per nine at
Speaker 1: one point nine one e r A. There's the guy
Speaker 1: who has saved three hundred and thirty three games in
Speaker 1: his career. I think it's unfortunate that we've had to
Speaker 1: wait till the MMB Draft to you know, get guys
Speaker 1: like Kimber and Kaikol to sign here. But it seems
Speaker 1: like before long they will be on a roster. And
Speaker 1: you know, my bet would be the Braves, I think
Speaker 1: right now would be the front runner. He's been there before.
Speaker 1: They obviously can use him. We've seen a ton of
Speaker 1: blown saved from them so far this season. A roadie's
Speaker 1: this guy, you know, Luke Jackson, even with as good
Speaker 1: as he's been, he's blown a few staves and then
Speaker 1: a j mentor was a disaster for this team, the Twins.
Speaker 1: If they're legitimate about contending this year, then I think
Speaker 1: you look at them in the Cubs. You want to
Speaker 1: talk about another disaster. I mean, Brandon Morrow we expected
Speaker 1: coming into the year, but he's been hurt. Pedro Strope
Speaker 1: got hurt as well. Steve Scheck has been up and down.
Speaker 1: So if you're just looking at team need, it's probably
Speaker 1: the Braves and the Cubs the most. But ultimately I
Speaker 1: I would imagine that he lands with the Braves. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I think the Braves are just desperate for him.
Speaker 1: And I thought that reunions should have happened a while ago.
Speaker 1: But we do know, given the penalties the Braves have
Speaker 1: suffered under the previous regime out there in Atlanta, they
Speaker 1: need all the draft picks. They couldn't really afford to
Speaker 1: give up a draft pick. They need to build through
Speaker 1: the draft and restock that minor league system when it
Speaker 1: only costs money. You know, it's silly for the Braves
Speaker 1: not to go out inside. I got a crik Kimberl
Speaker 1: and I think the Cubs are another prime example. They're
Speaker 1: probably the co favorites, if you will, because you know,
Speaker 1: the Ricketts family has plenty of money. Um, and given
Speaker 1: that Ben Zobrist maybe miss the entire season, given that
Speaker 1: he's going through this divorce, they can say money there.
Speaker 1: He's not on the active rosters, on the on the
Speaker 1: ill or anything like that. He's on like a an
Speaker 1: administrative lea like guess of some sort. And they can
Speaker 1: save money there and reinvest that, you know, a guy
Speaker 1: like Craig Kimberle, which could open things up, and they
Speaker 1: could certainly use a stopper in the back of the bullpen.
Speaker 1: Steve shucks fine, but he's not. It's that's exactly right.
Speaker 1: And the Braves and Cubs are two teams that are
Speaker 1: looking to compete. The Braves only one game out of
Speaker 1: the NL East right now, the Cubs a game and
Speaker 1: a half out, and they both have ten blown saves
Speaker 1: eats this year, Greg, so yeah, they can use them.
Speaker 1: Steve c Shrek is fine. He has closing experience, a
Speaker 1: little bit more experience than a guy like Luke Jackson.
Speaker 1: So not a little bit of a lot of a
Speaker 1: lot of bit. But you know, I think that's why
Speaker 1: I think that the meat is probably more so with
Speaker 1: the Braves. But the Cubs, I mean, since they've won
Speaker 1: the World Series, they've been expected to compete year in
Speaker 1: and year out with that roster as good as the offenses,
Speaker 1: and you know, the pitching has been solid it's been adequate,
Speaker 1: but to to be able to add a picture like
Speaker 1: that's your bullpen, I think it would be foolish for
Speaker 1: the Cubs not to at least, you know, go pretty
Speaker 1: hard after one team we haven't named. That's that's not
Speaker 1: interested in either Kaike Kimber. Some New York Mets don't
Speaker 1: really seem to be interested in in any current free agents,
Speaker 1: but that's okay. They don't. They don't love free agents,
Speaker 1: but they do love winning, and we'll see if they
Speaker 1: get a win tonight when we come back, we play
Speaker 1: down Mets and Giants Yankees in Blue Jay's New York Baseball.

Speaker 1: this is he. I can't find another person in the
Speaker 1: world they ready to do a show with Greg Nobody
Speaker 1: probably somebody. I'm sorry, Bud nice Man appreciate it all right.
Speaker 1: So tonight Yankees Man's both return to a shin and
Speaker 1: we mentioned the Mets going into the break. Let's start
Speaker 1: there because it's an interesting one at city Field tonight
Speaker 1: Mets and Giants. Mets are favored tonight in this one.
Speaker 1: The Giants plus one four team Mets at minus one. Thirty.
Speaker 1: Game total here is seven. And you may be like,
Speaker 1: a love of the game total very low, But who's
Speaker 1: all noun? Especially the Giants you like? Don't really you know,
Speaker 1: I don't really wouldn't marry much. But what's going on here? Well,
Speaker 1: it's Madison bumb Gardner versus Noah Synder God. But It's
Speaker 1: not like four years ago where it's Noah Syndergard versus
Speaker 1: Madison bum Garner, because then I would understand this game
Speaker 1: total being at seven. But it's two thousand nineteen Bummy
Speaker 1: versus Syndergarden. I measined before it could wind up being
Speaker 1: an audition in New York for bumb Garner, who, by
Speaker 1: the way, smartly on his like seven team or so
Speaker 1: no trade cause basically put every contender once you're not
Speaker 1: on the list, the Mets, but the Yankees, the Astres,
Speaker 1: the Yankees, the Astros, the Red Sox, the Brewers, the Cardinals.
Speaker 1: Basically anybody's a contender is on Bummies no trade list.
Speaker 1: Smart man wants to get a little something from waving
Speaker 1: that no trade clause. But as I said, it's not
Speaker 1: the same magic bone Gardner from a few years ago,
Speaker 1: so you could be said for no Syndergard. In fact,
Speaker 1: both Noah Syndergarden Madison bone Garner have e R rays
Speaker 1: over for tonight or going over for it going into
Speaker 1: these game tonight, I should said, Frank, how do you
Speaker 1: look at this one? Yeah? I think that line total
Speaker 1: you mentioned it at seven is more representative of the
Speaker 1: pictures who they used to be, or rather the pictures
Speaker 1: that they should be this season, or more more accurately,
Speaker 1: the pictures that they are perceived to be exactly. And
Speaker 1: I mean, look, the underlying numbers say that Noah Syndergard
Speaker 1: has been a little bit unlucky this year, but some
Speaker 1: of that has been brought upon himself. If you watched
Speaker 1: Syndergard pitch, he's one of the most frustrating pictures to
Speaker 1: watch because we know how much talent he has the
Speaker 1: midton high upper nineties in his fastball, and he's got
Speaker 1: these nasty breaking pitches. Well, but you know what I've
Speaker 1: always said about Synderguard, seems like he's more of a
Speaker 1: thrower than a picture and he has trouble locating his
Speaker 1: fastball at times, and that's why he gets in trouble.
Speaker 1: You know, I thought Mickey Callaway coming over to the
Speaker 1: Mets was actually gonna help someone like Noah Syndergard developed
Speaker 1: into a picture. We know, you know Mickey Callaway from
Speaker 1: the Indians his days there. What he was able to
Speaker 1: do developing guys, like helping develop guys like Corey Kluber,
Speaker 1: not that you know he himself developed them, but he
Speaker 1: helped developed guys like Corey Kluber and Carlos Carrasco and
Speaker 1: Mike Cleminger as well. So I was hoping that would
Speaker 1: be the case for Synderguard, but really it just hasn't happened.
Speaker 1: So I think this number of greg is really really
Speaker 1: low tonight. And then you look at bum Garner with
Speaker 1: both the r A s are over four right now.
Speaker 1: They've pitched better than that, but it doesn't take away
Speaker 1: from the fact that these guys have have been in
Speaker 1: some trouble so far this year. So I think that
Speaker 1: line is we bit misleading at seven gread yeah, I
Speaker 1: totally agree, Like I understand Lean of wanting to go
Speaker 1: under that seven number thinking you're getting this monstrous pictures duel.
Speaker 1: I don't see it. Rons could expects to be back
Speaker 1: in the lineup tonight, right for the New York Mets
Speaker 1: helps right, I think? So? Maybe I hope Todd A.
Speaker 1: Fraser has gotten a little bit hotter as of late,
Speaker 1: Fantasy owners have picked him up if you needed somebody
Speaker 1: for the Medicine Giants lineups look as bad as they've
Speaker 1: both been so far over the past week or so,
Speaker 1: they haven't been terrible. Pete Alonzo has nineteen whole routs
Speaker 1: on the season. And you know that's probably actually like
Speaker 1: under disgust in all of baseball. As much as we
Speaker 1: want to make fun of the Mets. Pete Alonso has
Speaker 1: just been otherworldly so far this season. And how about
Speaker 1: on the other side, Greg the Giants, Mike Stremsky, what's
Speaker 1: going on? I tried to tell her, grandson. I tried
Speaker 1: to tell you, Yes, he's performing well. Well. The Giants
Speaker 1: have cycled through seventy eight outfielders as they were Leiavers,
Speaker 1: but seventy eight outfielders to find the match. They're two
Speaker 1: of their opening day outfielders all right now, like free
Speaker 1: agent in the minor leagues. Like that's how brutal it was.
Speaker 1: They traded for Kevin Pollard, They tried a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of other guys out there, mikeael Strepsky being the latest one,
Speaker 1: and he's performed at a solid level, and tonight against
Speaker 1: synder Guard, maybe he can get into one. You're not
Speaker 1: asking for too much. You're literally asking in this game
Speaker 1: for like a five three game. That doesn't seem like
Speaker 1: too much to ask for. Clearly, Frank and Eileen towards
Speaker 1: over uh in this game, it's the one that's it's
Speaker 1: the one bet here that stands out. We're both on
Speaker 1: the same page. Yeah, And if you look at the
Speaker 1: bullpens as well, you know, once we get past a
Speaker 1: guy like Syndergard and look, Syndergard is no lock. We saw,
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of starts to go against the Tigers,
Speaker 1: the very lowly Tigers, Synderguard get blown up. So he's
Speaker 1: not a lock to perform here. And then once you
Speaker 1: get into the bullpen of the Metzi's let's go home, Mets.
Speaker 1: That's a five point zero zero e r A for
Speaker 1: the Mets bullpens so far this year. Edwin Diaz, there's
Speaker 1: been a lot going on so far with him recently
Speaker 1: in the news. He's been used a lot recently, he
Speaker 1: blew a few saves, and you know him and Mickey
Speaker 1: Callaway with differing reports about when he's available to be
Speaker 1: used and familiar hasn't been himself or maybe this is
Speaker 1: just who he is now and and this is who
Speaker 1: he is and he has been himself. But overall of
Speaker 1: the Mets bullpen has not been locked down by any
Speaker 1: means either. Greg with a five point zero zero either. Ray.
Speaker 1: So once we get into that, we could see some
Speaker 1: runs scored there as well. Yeah, absolutely, let's go over
Speaker 1: to the Yankees. Lets you out we're being a pick
Speaker 1: in this game, Frank between, No, I like the total
Speaker 1: more than I do like. Okay, let's go to the
Speaker 1: Yankees to night. Yankees are in Toronto. They're a very
Speaker 1: every heavy favorite over the Blue Jays might one nineties
Speaker 1: six right now according to the FanDuel sports book Toronto
Speaker 1: plus one sixty eight. Their total here is nine. And
Speaker 1: once again, uh, Frank and I are looking at the
Speaker 1: total in this one because it's Tanaka versus Clayton Richard,
Speaker 1: and you're like, all right, Clayton're injury. He's been around
Speaker 1: the block for a really long time. He's never really
Speaker 1: been all that great. He's just haven't spurts in his career,
Speaker 1: and I wonder if right now he's on one of
Speaker 1: those spurts. He hasn't exactly gone deep in his two
Speaker 1: games that he started, but he also hasn't really allowed
Speaker 1: many runs either. Yeah, so he's only allowed, you know,
Speaker 1: two earned runs in for his first two starts. He's
Speaker 1: only gone four innings pitched. But Yankees have actually struggled
Speaker 1: mightily against left handed pitching. So far this year, which
Speaker 1: is weird because they have so many right handed bats
Speaker 1: in their lineup, and this is without standing and without judge,
Speaker 1: and they're still striking out a massive amount against left
Speaker 1: handed pitching, to the tune of a twenty seven point
Speaker 1: seven percent strikeout right the second highest in all of
Speaker 1: baseball against left handed pitching. And then on the other side,
Speaker 1: Massa Heiro Tanaka. We know over the past couple of
Speaker 1: years he's been inconsistent, but Greg, he's also a guy
Speaker 1: that can go on these runs. And it seems like,
Speaker 1: you know, his last time out wasn't great, but in
Speaker 1: four of his last five starts he's delivered quality starts.
Speaker 1: He's got a three point two zero e r A overall.
Speaker 1: And while we're very excited about the Blue Jay's lineup
Speaker 1: for the future, Greg, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Cavan Biggio, Rowdy
Speaker 1: to Lez, they are still young and inexperienced hitters who
Speaker 1: strike out a lot and have not performed well against
Speaker 1: right handed pitching themselves. So you know, everyone's gonna look
Speaker 1: at this, this total of nine and think, all right, well,
Speaker 1: it's Clayton Richard. You can you can score some runs
Speaker 1: against him, and and we're excited about the Blue Jay's lineup,
Speaker 1: but I'm actually liking the under in this one. Greg, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so it's too. I think the perception is
Speaker 1: Clayton Richard's terrible and and he is. Now. One hesitation
Speaker 1: I do have is the Yankees put of runs. We
Speaker 1: know that even without judge and standing, and they can
Speaker 1: get hot on any given and even night. And we
Speaker 1: saw it against the Red Sox all three games over
Speaker 1: the weekend, where they are kind of in the dul
Speaker 1: drums early on, and then they get into the bullpen.
Speaker 1: And maybe it's just the Red Sox bullpen, but Blue
Speaker 1: Jay's bullpen is anything to write home about. So they
Speaker 1: get into the bullpen and then they're able to put
Speaker 1: up runs and bunches. With all the whole runs that
Speaker 1: they hit, I mean they just on any even night,
Speaker 1: they could go over that total of nine by themselves.
Speaker 1: And you do wonder, what's not gonna do now? This
Speaker 1: will be a six two ball game, you win, six
Speaker 1: three ball game, you win. So I don't think that
Speaker 1: you need the Yankees to be shut out or anything
Speaker 1: like that. You just need them not to explode. And
Speaker 1: I think Clayton Richard could do just enough to keep
Speaker 1: the Yankees at bay and keep them at home. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you know again, even if they score four or
Speaker 1: five six runs, I expect to not gonna have a
Speaker 1: pretty good start tonight against the Toronto Blue Jays, a
Speaker 1: lineup that has been inconsistent, a lineup that also strikes
Speaker 1: out a lot. So I expect to not gonna be
Speaker 1: on his game. He's pitched well recently, quality starts four
Speaker 1: of his last five starts, so it's not just you know,
Speaker 1: you worry about the Yankees offense here against Clayton Richard.
Speaker 1: I think that Tanaka is going to be able to
Speaker 1: hold down the Blue Jays bat tonight. So that's why
Speaker 1: I actually think the under in this game at nine
Speaker 1: is is pretty sneaky great. The Eggs are just too
Speaker 1: heavy of a favorite to put anything down. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's close to minus two hundred here. It's just it's
Speaker 1: not worth it ultimately. Now, if you wanted to do
Speaker 1: the run line for for this game, Yang's NUS one
Speaker 1: and a half, you get him at minus one sixteen,
Speaker 1: still on a great number by any means. Like the
Speaker 1: Blue Jays plus one and a half, you get that
Speaker 1: at plus one hundreds. I don't think there's any there
Speaker 1: anything there that's like technically my fancy if you will, Frank, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I guess the run line at you know,
Speaker 1: minus one and a half if they if you think
Speaker 1: the Yankees can you know, win this game five to
Speaker 1: three whatever, it might be five too, but it worse
Speaker 1: you're not even getting You're not getting it plus money.
Speaker 1: Even that bothers me. Yeah, so it's not we like
Speaker 1: the total. We like. We like the total in both
Speaker 1: local games tonight. We like the Mets in the Giant's
Speaker 1: over and the Yankees and the Blue Jays under when
Speaker 1: we come back. We're gonna go around the major leagues tonight,
Speaker 1: Tay have a couple of games that we're saying that

Speaker 1: mind as our nights picks around Major League Baseball. Of
Speaker 1: course tw BFFs. It's Frank staffeld. I am Greg Susman
Speaker 1: in fac. We want to make sure all those that
Speaker 1: are watching and of course listening tonight. We don't want
Speaker 1: they guessed to take your money. We don't want Jersey
Speaker 1: to take your money or wherever you're placing your bet.
Speaker 1: We don't want you to be a sucker. So right
Speaker 1: now it's time for don't be a sucker. Let's get
Speaker 1: right into it, Frank. And for you, what's staring out
Speaker 1: at you as the oddsmakers saying we want you to
Speaker 1: do this, and we're gonna call him out and do
Speaker 1: the opposite. For me, it's the Philadelphia Phillies at the
Speaker 1: San Diego Padres tonight. You're looking at this game total
Speaker 1: at seven and a half runs, and the Padres are
Speaker 1: favored at minus one fifty. And I understand that because
Speaker 1: it's Chris Paddock going up against Jared I Cough. But
Speaker 1: this number seems really low at seven and a half.
Speaker 1: And I think what they're trying to do here, Greg
Speaker 1: is you know they're telling you, oh, well, it's Chris
Speaker 1: Paddock on the mound. You know, everyone loves Chris Paddocks
Speaker 1: love Chris Patty. But I think that this number is
Speaker 1: a little bit too low because you see on the
Speaker 1: other side, with Jared I Cough is doing. Recently, he's
Speaker 1: allowed four earned runs or more or in four straight games.
Speaker 1: His e r A is up to four point one zero.
Speaker 1: He got up to a great start so far this year,
Speaker 1: but recently has not been the same. And we saw
Speaker 1: the Potteries put up some runs last night, maybe even
Speaker 1: Tattle hits the Grand Slam. They put up eight runs.
Speaker 1: They're capable of hitting home runs and scoring runs in bunches.
Speaker 1: And that's where I have pause here when it comes
Speaker 1: to Jared I cough and Chris Paddock. As great as
Speaker 1: he's been this season, two of his last three starts
Speaker 1: he's looked a little bit more human going up against
Speaker 1: the Yankees and Dodgers, two really good lineups. But you
Speaker 1: can argue that the Phillies lineup is a really really
Speaker 1: good one as well. The Phillies and Padres rank over
Speaker 1: the past week in team ops and twenty eight. So
Speaker 1: I get that that's kind of built into the narrative
Speaker 1: of why this game total is so low at seven
Speaker 1: and a half runs. But you know what that tells me, Greg,
Speaker 1: there do tonight off of Chris Paddock. Maybe we get
Speaker 1: you know too, three runs, But I really am looking
Speaker 1: at the San Diego Padres to do some damage against
Speaker 1: Jared I Cough. I think this total at seven and
Speaker 1: a half is really low. And people might buy into
Speaker 1: it because they see the name Chris Paddock, but I
Speaker 1: think we go slightly over here, Greg. Yeah, so I'm
Speaker 1: with you, and people are excited about Chris Paddock, and
Speaker 1: rightfully so. He got to a fantastic start here early
Speaker 1: this season, but facing two better teams it the wheels
Speaker 1: fell off a little bit with the Dodgers and with
Speaker 1: the Yankees. Now again, he did rebound in between those starts,
Speaker 1: but I think when he faces stiffer competition, it's not
Speaker 1: going to come as easy to him. And the Philadelphia
Speaker 1: Phillies certainly qualify as tougher competition. Now the FILD is
Speaker 1: going to throughout Andrew McCutcheon. Of course, giving the injury
Speaker 1: last night, it hurts everything, knocks them out. I think
Speaker 1: the Philly is still one of the best hitting teams
Speaker 1: in baseball. Uh. To me, what you read about that
Speaker 1: ops over the last week does mean they're due. And
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to just support your argument like I
Speaker 1: could go against you, like, but oh please do if
Speaker 1: you'd like. I don't want him, you don't want want
Speaker 1: to support. The Phillies are too good to be held
Speaker 1: down for this long and I think Roxy that for
Speaker 1: both sides, right, the Pottery sum Chado win team last night. Yea,
Speaker 1: so maybe he's coming around like they needed to. The
Speaker 1: Padres have the ability to put up home runs in bunches,
Speaker 1: just like the Phillies have the ability to Hunter rent
Speaker 1: that Manny Machado, Will Myers, all these guys they can
Speaker 1: you know, they can run into three four home runs tonight.
Speaker 1: We don't even need that many, probably we don't. You're looking,
Speaker 1: literally again once again, a five freeball game and you're there.
Speaker 1: It's not asking for too much. And Jared, I Cot
Speaker 1: has the ability to get bombed, Like I don't think
Speaker 1: Paddock gets bombed. I cought can very easily get bombed.
Speaker 1: And that's one of the reasons I'm with you liking
Speaker 1: the over here. And I also kind of like the
Speaker 1: Phillies and plus money, like maybe I'm not I don't
Speaker 1: want to buy out on Paddock. I don't know, plus money.
Speaker 1: The phili is just a lot of better than the Padres.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Phis are better than the Patres. You're
Speaker 1: getting plus money, but the Potters are also home too,
Speaker 1: so you gotta take that into consideration. You can take
Speaker 1: the Phillies. I'm not there. I'm not. I'm just saying
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting to throw a few shekels down
Speaker 1: on Philadelphia. But I agree, don't be a sucker. Don't
Speaker 1: fall into the shop of Chris Paddock. Take the over
Speaker 1: there now. If you want to talk about being a sucker,
Speaker 1: being a suckers probably touching this Orioles Rangers game that
Speaker 1: I'm about to do. But I'm gonna tell you not
Speaker 1: to be a sucker. And here's why. You see a
Speaker 1: total of ten and a half runs, You're like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, that's way too many. But then you see
Speaker 1: the starters and it's You're Smiley against Dylan Bundy. You're like, okay,
Speaker 1: there's literally no number and that is high enough for
Speaker 1: Bundy versus Smiley. Well, this number, it's too high. It's
Speaker 1: too high Bundy versus Smiley. The total is ten and
Speaker 1: a half and Frankie, it's going under. Yes, well, this
Speaker 1: is one that you love. Admittedly, this was a Greg
Speaker 1: Sussman special here, because you know, he sees Dylan Bundy,
Speaker 1: he sees Drew Smiley, and he's been talking about, you know,
Speaker 1: Dylan Bundy for a little bit coming around in the month.
Speaker 1: To be fair at last, week. You weren't all against it.
Speaker 1: I wasn't completely against it. I tried. I look, the
Speaker 1: underlying numbers for Dylan Bundy are not great, but this
Speaker 1: is he hasn't allowed four more than four runs in
Speaker 1: a game since April. Is he all right? In the
Speaker 1: month of May, it's two point six four that's good.
Speaker 1: That is that is real. That is tangible. A one
Speaker 1: batting average against in the month of May for Dylan Bunny,
Speaker 1: twenty six strikeouts and thirty and two thirds endings pitched.
Speaker 1: Oh and by the way, the Texas Rangers have lost
Speaker 1: Joey Gallo, their best hit or their best home run
Speaker 1: hitter in their lineup. Now it's still a dangerous spot.
Speaker 1: I get it. It's it's Arlington and the weather is
Speaker 1: warm there, ball could fly out. But Joey gallow is
Speaker 1: a huge part of that lineup. He's a huge part
Speaker 1: of the lineup. But the other thing you're not realizing that, yes,
Speaker 1: it's very scary on the road in Texas for Baltimore,
Speaker 1: how the ball could fly out of Arlington's Baltimo has
Speaker 1: been awful over the last seven days, and we talked
Speaker 1: about the Phillies and Padres being do and they have
Speaker 1: these big boffers. The the Oils have have boffers. I
Speaker 1: don't want to say they're they're big offers. What about
Speaker 1: boom boom? I do have booming Mancini and Chris Davis
Speaker 1: can obviously get into one in the long term revenge
Speaker 1: game against the Rangers. Um and we're not on New
Speaker 1: Yon's is like fifteen home runs a long time ago.
Speaker 1: But over the last seven days, Baltimore is dead last
Speaker 1: in MLB in average in OPS. Their average is a
Speaker 1: team over the last week is under two hundred. There're
Speaker 1: two hundred, franc horrible. The ops is under six hundred
Speaker 1: at five six. He is a team that cannot get
Speaker 1: on base right now. They are struggling. They're just drafted
Speaker 1: number one overall in the MLB draft last night, and
Speaker 1: there's a good shot that draft number one overall again
Speaker 1: this upcoming year in next year's draft. So Baltimore in
Speaker 1: the MLB in home runs away from Camden Yards. I
Speaker 1: get that you are nervous about the Orioles in Texas,
Speaker 1: but fear not, Frank Orioles are too cold to get
Speaker 1: into it. And by the way, my man Drew Smiley,
Speaker 1: who fantasy analysts by the way, I've been all over
Speaker 1: for like five years running. Man. Man, I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: that I how did Drew Smiley like before the season
Speaker 1: he gave me crap? Now and now you love Drew
Speaker 1: Smiley to night. Huh. He's average against about the Maynt seven.
Speaker 1: Really talking yourself into this one. I'm not talking about
Speaker 1: like this game is going to be a good game
Speaker 1: by any means, or I think the Rangers or the
Speaker 1: Orioles are going anywhere. The tendant has to really really
Speaker 1: big number to me, and there is a number that
Speaker 1: he's too high, and we found it. It's steaded a
Speaker 1: half Bundy versus Smiley, ignored the names. Look at the
Speaker 1: stats in the past couple of weeks. I'm going under, man,
Speaker 1: I'm going under here. Yeah, and specifically just diving a
Speaker 1: little bit more into the Orioles lineup and why they've
Speaker 1: been so bad. Dwight Smith got off to a really
Speaker 1: really hot start for the beginning of the season, Greg,
Speaker 1: but he's cooled off. I know he had a Grand
Speaker 1: Slam over the weekend, but other than that he has
Speaker 1: he's been pretty cold. The batting averages dropping down. We're
Speaker 1: starting to see why Dwight Smith was, you know, a
Speaker 1: journeyman minor leaguer for as many years as he was,
Speaker 1: So he's cooling off. And then you have a lot
Speaker 1: of young guys in the lineup who are pretty much
Speaker 1: figuring out how to play at the major league level,
Speaker 1: at the major league level, and it's DJ Stewart who's
Speaker 1: getting a taste of the major's here. Uh, Chancisco is
Speaker 1: getting called up for the Baltimore Orioles. And you know,
Speaker 1: while he does have some value in fantasy and to
Speaker 1: catcher leagues, I mean that's just another young player who's
Speaker 1: gonna be in the lineup tonight. So I think they're
Speaker 1: gonna be prone to striking out tonight, Greg, even if
Speaker 1: it's against you know, Drew Smiley. This is a team
Speaker 1: that swings and misses um and and they're cooling off.
Speaker 1: They're just cooling off of role. Not Boom boom Mancine.
Speaker 1: I still do like Boom Boom a lot, but overall,
Speaker 1: a lot of these other guys, uh in the lineup.
Speaker 1: You know, key On Broxon, they signed him to be
Speaker 1: there everyday center fielder. He strikes out a ton as well,
Speaker 1: So I think we're gonna get a lot of swing
Speaker 1: and miss stuff. We might get a few home runs
Speaker 1: on both sides here, but are we gonna get enough
Speaker 1: home runs to go over the number at ten and
Speaker 1: a half? I don't think so, Greg, I don't think
Speaker 1: I got you. You got me? Hopefully you got everyone else.
Speaker 1: We're too much on the same page. I hopef we
Speaker 1: got everybody else if I'm right, Well, we'll see. We're
Speaker 1: gona come back to b in a little bit. We'll
Speaker 1: give your best bets forever coming out later on the show.

Speaker 1: Action Hour is here with you, Frank Staffle, Greg Susman,
Speaker 1: change gears away from MLB and over to the NBA Finals, Frankie,
Speaker 1: where the Raptors and Warriors are tied at one, but
Speaker 1: a lot of question marks surrounding Golden State. Kevin Durant
Speaker 1: questionable four Game three, Kamal Luney out for Game three,
Speaker 1: Clay Thompson questionable four Game three. Like I said, a
Speaker 1: lot of question marks where it comes to Golden State,
Speaker 1: and that certainly affects the odds. Yeah, definitely when it
Speaker 1: comes to the Props too, because you know Clay Thompson
Speaker 1: now dealing with this hamstring injury. I that's one of
Speaker 1: the biggest storylines obviously going on here with the with
Speaker 1: this matchup, the Warriors going up against the Raptors. But
Speaker 1: you know it's not just the rant Now play Thompson,
Speaker 1: It's just you know it's gonna affect you know, where
Speaker 1: is the scoring going to come from for Golden State?
Speaker 1: And you know how competitive is this game going to be?
Speaker 1: Now play Thompson. Hasn't been ruled out yet, Greg, And
Speaker 1: we are not doctors, we are not medical experts. We
Speaker 1: don't play them on television either. But play Thompson segment
Speaker 1: for us A hamstring injury, a strain hamstring. I would
Speaker 1: be very surprised if he plays in this game. What
Speaker 1: are you thinking? I'd be very stunned. Also, like the
Speaker 1: m R I did not reveal in that he was sore.
Speaker 1: It revealed a real strain. And even if it's a
Speaker 1: Grade one, I mean this is an injury that you
Speaker 1: don't come back from in three days. You don't. And
Speaker 1: he made persus because the finals he may try to
Speaker 1: do everything you can to play. I don't see how
Speaker 1: it works like that, I really don't, which means you're
Speaker 1: gonna need a lot more Steph Curry, a lot more
Speaker 1: Daymond Green, a lot more Adoda and these bench players
Speaker 1: for Golden State to step up, which means prop Wise
Speaker 1: Franks good pross for us. So let's play prop Curs
Speaker 1: the weasel. Let's do it, Frank. Let's get into Golden
Speaker 1: State first, and let's begin with Steph Curry. The overrunder
Speaker 1: right now, according to the Vandal Sports Book, is thirty
Speaker 1: one and a half points for staff. You're going over under.
Speaker 1: I think, given what we know right now, the smart
Speaker 1: play is to get the over, even without the update
Speaker 1: with Clay Thompson, whether we know he's going to play
Speaker 1: or not, because me personally, I don't think that he's
Speaker 1: going to play, And even if he does, he's going
Speaker 1: to be limited at least in some capacity, whether that's
Speaker 1: gonna be his usage on the court or his minutes.
Speaker 1: And because of that, that means that there's gonna be
Speaker 1: more minutes to go around for Steph Curry. I don't
Speaker 1: I don't even know how he could play more minutes.
Speaker 1: He's played forty and forty one minutes in the first
Speaker 1: two games. He's taken at least seventeen shots in each
Speaker 1: of the first two games. Uh coming off the game
Speaker 1: two where he scored twenty three points, but the game
Speaker 1: before that thirty four. In each game against Portland's he
Speaker 1: scored over thirty one points, Greg, So if there's no Durant,
Speaker 1: if there's no Clay Thompson, I think you're getting some really,
Speaker 1: really good value right now with Steph Curry going over
Speaker 1: the number. It's a big number, but if they're gonna
Speaker 1: remain competitive in this game, it's gonna because Steph Curry
Speaker 1: has a monster. I actually lean under this number, Frank,
Speaker 1: because you gave the stats against Portland and that's and
Speaker 1: that's fine, and that's good, and that's true. But they
Speaker 1: don't have the defender like Kawaii Leonard. And I understand
Speaker 1: that Kawhi Leonard is forced to obviously take on a
Speaker 1: huge offensive role and he's beat up and he's tired,
Speaker 1: But without Clay Thompson to focus on, without Kevin durant
Speaker 1: to focus on. There's one guy that Leonard and the
Speaker 1: defense it's a run has to just keenan on, and
Speaker 1: that's Steph Curry. When may everybody else beat them on
Speaker 1: Golden State? And if they do, they do, I think
Speaker 1: they keep Curry at Bay. I go under this number
Speaker 1: of thirty one and a half. So we finally found
Speaker 1: something that we disagree on here. Gret I just think
Speaker 1: there's gonna be so many shots for him, and even
Speaker 1: if they play good defense, it's it's he's gonna score
Speaker 1: by volume alone. So that's why I'm going I'm going
Speaker 1: over them. Well, then let's go to another one of
Speaker 1: these warrior role players, right, Let's go to like Andre Iguodala.
Speaker 1: He's over under his over under point total. He's only
Speaker 1: eight and a half. In fact, his over under for
Speaker 1: three points made in the game is half of three.
Speaker 1: If he makes one, you win, if he goes. If
Speaker 1: he scores three of them, you win both. I understand
Speaker 1: Iguodala hits the monstrous three obviously in the fourth quarter
Speaker 1: with the game on the line in Game two, but
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to take even a bigger role if
Speaker 1: Clay and k D do not play. What do you
Speaker 1: think of both of those totals eight and a half.
Speaker 1: He's the point total for Iguodala over under a half
Speaker 1: of three maid for him as well. Yeah, so obviously
Speaker 1: I love the over for the half of three made
Speaker 1: because he only gotta make one or one of those threes,
Speaker 1: but everyone loves it. It's a minus two eighty right
Speaker 1: now for him to make a single three, and he's
Speaker 1: now attempted, you know, at least four three pointers in
Speaker 1: each of the first two games in the NBA Finals,
Speaker 1: so you know that he's gonna take He's gonna at
Speaker 1: least attempt you know, three or four three throughout this game.
Speaker 1: So I think he makes one at minus to eighty.
Speaker 1: But you're not really getting great You're getting great value there, Greg.
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at the eight and a half. I
Speaker 1: think this is one that I would actually wait to
Speaker 1: find out what's going on with Clay Thompson. If Klay
Speaker 1: Thompson is out, I would hammer it right away before
Speaker 1: this number can jump. But you know, right now, with
Speaker 1: everything up in flux, I probably wouldn't touch it. If
Speaker 1: I if I had to choose one, I would lean
Speaker 1: with the over, just because again I don't think that
Speaker 1: Klay Thompson is gonna play or he's not gonna be
Speaker 1: all that effective, but I do like him to make that,
Speaker 1: you know, one three point in this game and go
Speaker 1: over the half for andre Igu Dolla. But the eight
Speaker 1: and a half points, it's a little bit tougher here,
Speaker 1: Greg Now, at least I I agree. I think the
Speaker 1: half of the three that's the easy one, will take
Speaker 1: the over there. The eight and a half of probably
Speaker 1: stay away from the same. Ghoest for Draymond Green, who's
Speaker 1: total point totals at twelve and a half, that's a
Speaker 1: little nerve racking for me. Let's to the Toronto side
Speaker 1: of things, where Kawhi Leonards over under? Is that thirty
Speaker 1: and a half points you're going over under here, Frank, Yeah,
Speaker 1: So this is one that I would actually take the under.
Speaker 1: I know he's coming off a game where he had
Speaker 1: thirty four points sixteen of sixteen from the free throw line.
Speaker 1: Can we expect him to do that again? He has
Speaker 1: had at least twelve free throws in each of the
Speaker 1: first two games, so he's gonna get to the line,
Speaker 1: but he's gonna get their sixteen times. He's a little
Speaker 1: bit banged up, Greg, He's not on No. One's at
Speaker 1: this point in the NBA season. But because he's not
Speaker 1: and I can't depend on him to get to the
Speaker 1: line sixteen times again, I'm gonna take slight underground. You're
Speaker 1: wrong again, Frank, because who has guarded Kawai Leonard throughout
Speaker 1: the series. Clay Thompson. Clay Thompson expected to play, he's not.
Speaker 1: But it's Draymond Green Chop Liver, so then Andrew Gudala
Speaker 1: Chop Liver. Those are really good defenders in their own Rightson,
Speaker 1: you can make the argument. I mean, look, if you're
Speaker 1: talking to the really good defender, but so is you Goodala,
Speaker 1: and those guys actually have a little bit more weight,
Speaker 1: a little bit more mass behind definitely, But if you're
Speaker 1: telling me Draymond is gonna have to focus on Kauahi
Speaker 1: Leonard now they're just gonna point total Pascal Siaka because
Speaker 1: after taking Sam out of the game in games, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's different, like yeah, we can, yeah, but I would
Speaker 1: think that Draymond, they would probably change it up, like
Speaker 1: maybe a quarter for a quarter, one quarters Draymond Goodala.
Speaker 1: But even without Klay Thompson, they have some pretty good
Speaker 1: defenders here that can slow down Kauai. You're never gonna
Speaker 1: stop Kauai, but you can still slow them down. I
Speaker 1: want to like the saka point total. I just can't.
Speaker 1: It's too high that we're not looking. What do you
Speaker 1: think it should be at? Uh, seventeen a half? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was very impressive, it's really impressive. It's a good
Speaker 1: number toward. Yeah, but if you don't expect lay Thompson
Speaker 1: to play, then you have to like that over No.
Speaker 1: I mean we saw, yes, he went over thirty. We're
Speaker 1: passing in the first game, went over thirty and he
Speaker 1: had a monster game. And we know typically you know,
Speaker 1: the Raptors role players play better at home than they
Speaker 1: do on the road, no doubt. But Sam is a
Speaker 1: little bit more than a role player at this point,
Speaker 1: like he's someone that they depend on, you score, you're
Speaker 1: talking about their role players. That makes me think of
Speaker 1: a guy like Fred van Fleet, right, who has been
Speaker 1: a game changer, uh really the second half of the
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference Finals and then into the NBA Finals and
Speaker 1: his over under total is twelve and a half points. Obviously,
Speaker 1: Oracle Arena, the over is at it's eleven and a
Speaker 1: half and half went down because money's coming in here
Speaker 1: on the under, what do you think I mean at
Speaker 1: eleven and a half, I do like the over. I
Speaker 1: know I just said that the Raptors just contradict myself.
Speaker 1: But but the thing is the minutes, Greg, the minutes
Speaker 1: have been there for Fred VanVleet, and he's hot right now.
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy has scored thirteen or more points
Speaker 1: in five straight games. So I look, you can make
Speaker 1: the argument that, Okay, he's due for a clunker here,
Speaker 1: but he's playing so many minutes thirty three minutes and
Speaker 1: thirty eight minutes respectively in each of the first two
Speaker 1: games of the NBA Finals, and he's actually done a
Speaker 1: pretty good job of getting up in the face of
Speaker 1: Steph Curry and making life difficult for him. So I
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be on the court for for thirty
Speaker 1: plus minutes here? Can he Can he make two three
Speaker 1: three pointers, get out in transition, score some fast break
Speaker 1: fast break points as well, and get to twelve. Twelve
Speaker 1: is a low number, Greak at eleven and a half
Speaker 1: here for Fred van Vleet, I think he goes over
Speaker 1: just because of volume he's been in there. He's playing
Speaker 1: so many minutes right now, Greg, Yeah, fair enough. Fred
Speaker 1: van Fleet has been a major role player. But I
Speaker 1: like the under because it's another game with O G
Speaker 1: and a Nobi getting healthier, which could take away minutes potentially,
Speaker 1: you can also take minutes away from Danny Green, and
Speaker 1: Danny Green absolutely Danny Green another name that's worth watching.
Speaker 1: His over underpoint total seven and a half. I really
Speaker 1: like the over there. You're not asking for much for
Speaker 1: Danny Green, so you love You're living life dangerously taking
Speaker 1: the under here, which is where I lean. I don't
Speaker 1: love touching like Danny Green's point total at all really
Speaker 1: here because if he makes three threes, which he's definitely
Speaker 1: capable of doing. You've seen the way that the Warriors
Speaker 1: are defending the Raptors in this series is that they're
Speaker 1: sending a lot of attention Kauai's way. They're sending a
Speaker 1: lot of attention at Patscalcia, and Danny Green is getting
Speaker 1: a lot of wide open shots right now. He scored
Speaker 1: eight and eleven points respectively first two games against the Warriors,
Speaker 1: so he's hit this point total two times already. But
Speaker 1: if you look at his previous four games before that,
Speaker 1: Green he was zero, zero, four and three. Danny Green
Speaker 1: just has this ability to disappear at times in games.
Speaker 1: So I don't really love touching his points. But if
Speaker 1: I if I had to lean one way or the other,
Speaker 1: I would take the under just because I don't want
Speaker 1: to depend on Danny Green. I get it. I get
Speaker 1: it going over that, Danny Green just makes literally two
Speaker 1: threes and you're like, away, I feel like you got
Speaker 1: anything else here? You what more? They all want to do,
Speaker 1: And it's let's for the matchups, right who the scores
Speaker 1: were points, Draymond Green or Kyle Lowry. That's a really
Speaker 1: good one. I'm gonna I'm gonna stick with the narrative,
Speaker 1: and what we've been working with here is that I
Speaker 1: don't expect Lay Thompson to play, and I think, look,
Speaker 1: Draymond Green is never going to light the world on
Speaker 1: fire in terms of scoring, but he would have to
Speaker 1: take on more of an offensive load here Greg if
Speaker 1: Clay Thompson can't go. And Kyle Lowry has just been
Speaker 1: so inconsistent here in the finals, throughout the playoffs, like
Speaker 1: we've seen some really really big games from Kyle Lowry
Speaker 1: against the Bucks. We know what he's capable of. But
Speaker 1: with Fred van v Fred van Vleep playing as well
Speaker 1: as he is in Pascal Sam and Kwhi Leonard, I
Speaker 1: just don't know that there's gonna be enough to go
Speaker 1: around for Kyle Lowry. He does all the little things.
Speaker 1: He's going to get assists, and he's gonna take charges,
Speaker 1: and he's gonna play solid defense. But I had to
Speaker 1: choose one of these guys, I'm going with Draymond Green.
Speaker 1: Kyle Lowry's just struggled too mightily here in the NBA Finals.
Speaker 1: And if the narrative is true, and of course it's
Speaker 1: all gays out the window of Claire k d play,
Speaker 1: Draymond Green's have to do going have to do more
Speaker 1: on the offensive end in order to be successful. All Right,
Speaker 1: we'll take a break when we come back. It's your
Speaker 1: best bets forever, our favorite best for tonight. I'll make
Speaker 1: one fake on neck. We won't make one. We'll go

Speaker 1: the wheel, make a deal and we'll find out who
Speaker 1: the Ducks like tonight with your best bet forever tonight.
Speaker 1: And this one actually hurts me, Greg, someone that I
Speaker 1: hold close to my heart. I am a believer. I
Speaker 1: am a fan of Shane Bieber of the Cleveland Indians.
Speaker 1: But unfortunately you don't want to it's too late to say, sorry, Greg, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: get out of here. But when it comes to Shane Bieber,
Speaker 1: something that he struggled with so far this season is
Speaker 1: the long ball. He's given up thirteen home runs. That's
Speaker 1: the same amount of home runs that he gave up
Speaker 1: all of last season in eight more starts. So he
Speaker 1: struggled with the long ball. He still does get a
Speaker 1: lot of strikeouts. But who's he going up against tonight.
Speaker 1: It's the Minnesota Twins that is the team that hits
Speaker 1: the most home runs in baseball as of now. And
Speaker 1: guess what they're getting Nelson Cruise back tonight as well,
Speaker 1: one of the prominent home run hitters in all of
Speaker 1: baseball over the past decade. Really what it seems like
Speaker 1: here for Nelson Cruz. So a team that hits a
Speaker 1: lot of home runs Shane Bieber while he gets a
Speaker 1: lot of strikeouts, And I do have faith in him
Speaker 1: for the long term season when it comes to fantasy baseball.
Speaker 1: But tonight I do have my worries. Greg. I'm taking
Speaker 1: plus money as my best bet of the night. That's
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Twins money line at plus one fourteen to
Speaker 1: beat the Cleveland Indians outright. Devin Smeltzer on the mound
Speaker 1: for the Minnesota Twins. Who who Devin Smeltzer six shutout
Speaker 1: endings in his first start with seven strikeouts, going up
Speaker 1: against this Indians lineup that hasn't been great so far
Speaker 1: to the season, and specifically against leftist they've been even worse.
Speaker 1: So Devin Smeltzer in the Minnesota Twinkies get it done tonight.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately against my guy Shane Bieber, we got Greg. So
Speaker 1: you're not really a believer then I am just not tonight.
Speaker 1: I'm turning it off for one night. I'm flipping the switch,
Speaker 1: all right, fair enough for me. I'm gonna go in
Speaker 1: a different direction of it all about these totals here
Speaker 1: on today's show, I'm gonna stick with that, and it's
Speaker 1: between Oakland and l A, the Angels and the Athletics
Speaker 1: and Als battle. Uh. It's a close spread here with
Speaker 1: oak minus one to the Angels that minus one twelve
Speaker 1: with the totals at eight and a half. And what
Speaker 1: I really like are the pictures in these games, Griffin
Speaker 1: Canning for l A and Frankie Mantas for Oakland. Modus
Speaker 1: is a lot of more than three runs just one
Speaker 1: start all season long. Of course that came in his
Speaker 1: last start, which also was against the Angels, but let's
Speaker 1: ignore that for a second. In that start he only
Speaker 1: had he had the most walk he's had all year five.
Speaker 1: If he just regained that control a little bit, the
Speaker 1: run told the allowed, which again was just four, and
Speaker 1: if both run, both pitchers about four, you're still under
Speaker 1: that total. Things You're fine. The Angels came out with
Speaker 1: a game plan. I'm gonna take some pitches against Mantas.
Speaker 1: He's going to adjust tonight against l A. And I
Speaker 1: think those adjudgments will help him. On the other side,
Speaker 1: a guy like Grippin Canning, he's allowed more than three runs,
Speaker 1: much like Mantas, one time all season long. And if
Speaker 1: you were looking very positive note against Oakland last week,
Speaker 1: you know, just one run in that game. He's kind
Speaker 1: of walk ratio on the year thirty foot and nine.
Speaker 1: He's been dominating. He has gripping cannings. He's getting called
Speaker 1: up early last month Mantas in the month of May
Speaker 1: and again that includes last week's store against the Angels
Speaker 1: two point six four. He's road to ear a this
Speaker 1: game of course being played in Adaheim two point to five.
Speaker 1: He's really very very well for Thankye Mantas angrifin Canning
Speaker 1: all year long, and to see that number here at
Speaker 1: eight and a half, it's simply too much. It is
Speaker 1: my best bet of the night, So get in on it.
Speaker 1: You want the Angels and the Athletics under eight and afrons?
Speaker 1: Where do you think? Frank Yeah, I like that call
Speaker 1: a lot as well. True story before the show, Greg says,
Speaker 1: you know what's your best bet? You know? I I
Speaker 1: tell him and then he tells me what he's got
Speaker 1: the Angel, the Angels and the Ace tonight, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: that's a really good I like that one a lot
Speaker 1: as well. You know, big fan of Frankie Mantas what
Speaker 1: I've seen so far, not just because we share the
Speaker 1: same name, but mid nineties fastball has a has an
Speaker 1: upper eighties slider. Been working in a new splitter so
Speaker 1: far this year as well. I understand Mike Trout, best
Speaker 1: player in baseball, plays for the Angels and can help
Speaker 1: them put up runs. But overall what we've seen from
Speaker 1: both of these pictures, I know that they are they're
Speaker 1: younger guys, but they've pitched really, really well, Gregg, So
Speaker 1: I really like that under as well. At eight and
Speaker 1: a half between Montas and Kenny. All right, let's spin
Speaker 1: wheel here and figure out what the what our our
Speaker 1: ducks are saying? What are the Ducks saying? So how
Speaker 1: this works? We need a pick? Right, we each pick
Speaker 1: a pick. Picks are best bet forever. But the Ducks
Speaker 1: are also gonna make a pick. So we're gonna spend
Speaker 1: the wheel here and see who they like tonight. All right,
Speaker 1: here we go, find a duck pick up, so each
Speaker 1: duck has a different game on it. Here we go.
Speaker 1: The Ducks says they like tonight. This is ridiculous. They
Speaker 1: take it right now. The Little Pits and the Chicago
Speaker 1: White Socks against Steven Strasburg and the Nationals. Wow, not
Speaker 1: the best one, Ducks. That's a that's a bold call, Duck.
Speaker 1: You what are you get in that that? I don't
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Currently, the White Sox are plus
Speaker 1: two thirty tonight plus to thirty to win out right,
Speaker 1: all right, we're Alldo Lopez and his whatever it is
Speaker 1: eighteen e r A throwing up against Stephen Strassburg. I
Speaker 1: gotta see what the ducks guy. I gotta feel like
Speaker 1: we beat the Ducks to that, right, like this is
Speaker 1: the night we come thrip. Probably not, come on, man,
Speaker 1: that's what happens, you know, game right at some point?
Speaker 1: Maybe why not tonight? It's a revenge game for now,
Speaker 1: the Lopez against the Gnats. That's that's exactly right, former
Speaker 1: top prospect for the Nationals freighted over in the Adam
Speaker 1: Eating deal. Strassburg has just been hits out this season
Speaker 1: and the White Sox lineup has not. So it's a
Speaker 1: bold call from the duck there, Greg, this is what
Speaker 1: we gotta get fun. We got an expert, self proclaimed
Speaker 1: another self proclaimed expert over there. That's you, Frank. Those
Speaker 1: are our picks, the best bets forever show us tomorrow
Speaker 1: will preview Game three even more in depth, will make
Speaker 1: a pick. We'll take a look back at our bets
Speaker 1: from last night and tonight and get into all the
Speaker 1: games for tomorrow. For Freight Stanford, I am Greg Sousman
Speaker 1: to the ducks dot. I think everybody downstairs for all
Speaker 1: that help at the window. Sean Rostamakia is up next.
Speaker 1: How about wonder all night? We'll do it all go tomorrow,
Speaker 1: we hope,
