Speaker 1: Welcome in to Fantasy pros MLB. This is a leading
Speaker 1: of life with me. It's for me Mario, and that
Speaker 1: is my brother. He's a Luigi, and together the two
Speaker 1: of us, we make it repairing Welsh. I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: you the opportunity to speak in a very stereotypical voice
Speaker 1: just for the opening about an Italian plumber.
Speaker 2: Go ahead and you canna talk like me if you like.
Speaker 3: Mario, thank you for giving me the passes. Thank you
Speaker 3: to allow me to bring back the Luigi name to
Speaker 3: the Mario brothers.
Speaker 1: Hey, my goodness, we are to do a handsome guys,
Speaker 1: that's all I know. And we have got all kinds
Speaker 1: of baseball for you, for your face, for your ears,
Speaker 1: and for your eyes and for your cockles. We've got
Speaker 1: it all for you. So we're gonna go through. We
Speaker 1: have a prospecting within it. The Welsh, you got the injuries,
Speaker 1: we got so many things.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be amazing.
Speaker 1: And why are we like this?
Speaker 2: Ill tell you why?
Speaker 1: Because we hit the twenty five that I was in subscribe,
Speaker 1: but it was on the channel. Nobody said that we
Speaker 1: would do it, and we did it, and we are
Speaker 1: so proud, and we said we would dress up again
Speaker 1: every time that we hit a new mark. So the
Speaker 1: question is, what were we gonna do when we get
Speaker 1: to thirty thousand next time?
Speaker 3: Not to talker like at this Mario, Not to keep
Speaker 3: going with this voice.
Speaker 2: All right, I can barely talk out in that thing.
Speaker 2: I this mustache seems absurdly large. I mean mine almost like, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's not that's not better. I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 2: This mustache came and it was enormous. I mean, I
Speaker 2: don't know what they're making this musty. I gotta like
Speaker 2: flip it up here so you can hear my voice.
Speaker 2: It's gonna fall off at some point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but we're here. That's for you as well. By
Speaker 3: the way, for the audio listeners, we're dressed as Mario
Speaker 3: and Luigi. I can't do impressions, so people are mentioning
Speaker 3: I sound like grou In there.
Speaker 2: So it's not upside down. I thought it was upside
Speaker 2: down too. It's not.
Speaker 3: No, you have to wear them like it's minus ridiculous here.
Speaker 3: But thank you for twenty five thousand. I will tell
Speaker 3: you we almost had an extra surprise, mister Joe Mario here.
Speaker 3: I know I saidedly U huh. Was we almost had
Speaker 3: a guest appearance by Warrio. That's right. Warrio almost came
Speaker 3: in in the form of cousin Donnie. But Warrio's outfit
Speaker 3: did not come apparently, and it was not shipped in times.
Speaker 2: So that's just so sad. What thing. But I gotta
Speaker 2: call him a back. I owe him a phone call.
Speaker 3: Let's let's shout him out though, because Joe did make
Speaker 3: an appearance on Donnie's show.
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 3: If you want to get a little promotion for that, Joey.
Speaker 2: Yes, shooting straight with Donnie c just me and cousin
Speaker 2: Donnie talking. I don't know, I gotta like put this.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna wear it like a mutton chop here. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna be like you're wearing a guy from the seventies
Speaker 2: for a little while. I don't know. This is just crazy.
Speaker 2: So let's get into the baseball. We got a lot
Speaker 2: to get to and we've got to start here, obviously
Speaker 2: with somebody getting paid. And that man is Vladimir Guerrero Junior.
Speaker 2: He signs an agreement fourteen years, five one hundred million dollars. Ooh,
Speaker 2: we that is a lot right there. So let's talk
Speaker 2: about this Welsh because I don't think it's an accident
Speaker 2: that this weekend over at City Field where he was
Speaker 2: shumming around with you know, Lindor and Sodo, and they
Speaker 2: were hanging out at batting practice together, and all this
Speaker 2: stuff was going on, and then the crowd was cheering
Speaker 2: Vlad Guerrero every app at, every time they come up,
Speaker 2: all the fans, the Met fans clap and enjoying themselves.
Speaker 2: I think the Blue Jays got a little nervous there.
Speaker 2: So here's a question. I know, Vladimerguirrel wins this because
Speaker 2: he gets paid five hundred million dollars, so he's a winner.
Speaker 2: But who are the winners here? Is it the Blue
Speaker 2: Jays making this investment? Is it Vlad? Could he have
Speaker 2: gotten the six if he went to the open market
Speaker 2: between the Yankees and the Mets and and god knows
Speaker 2: who else might get into the mix there, or do
Speaker 2: you think this is just the smart thing around for
Speaker 2: everybody to get in on this extension.
Speaker 3: Vladdy got the coins and the princess peach.
Speaker 2: He got so many coins it's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: He got a hundred coins, he got a free life
Speaker 1: for fourteen, He got a fourteen of free lives.
Speaker 2: That's a lot.
Speaker 3: This is one hundred percent by taking us serious by
Speaker 3: the way talk like this, this is one hundred percent
Speaker 3: a Blue Jays win because nobody wants to go play there.
Speaker 3: You can't get any free agents. They're throwing all the
Speaker 3: money out there. They can't get Mario, Luigi Warrio or
Speaker 3: Luigi or whatever the fake Luigi is. They can't get
Speaker 3: anybody to come and play there. So this is a
Speaker 3: huge win because he gets to work as that catalyst
Speaker 3: to potentially bring back a guy like Bo. There's a
Speaker 3: lot of rumors about Bo maybe not coming back. So yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean from a non fantasy breakdown perspective, this is great.
Speaker 3: He's gonna, you know, be the catalyst to hopefully getting
Speaker 3: some free agents to come in. But it's no doubt
Speaker 3: a win for them. There is a little part of
Speaker 3: me that was thinking maybe he'd push even a little
Speaker 3: bit more with the market and teams. I mean, the
Speaker 3: Shoyotani contract created a blueprint where it's no matter what
Speaker 3: that financial dollar looks like, the right players, you can
Speaker 3: market and make money outside of baseball beyond belief. So
Speaker 3: you know who cares. But yeah, this is a win
Speaker 3: for the Blue Jays.
Speaker 2: Well, they can tell you one thing. Kyle Tucker is
Speaker 2: gonna make six hundred million dollars easily. That number is
Speaker 2: gonna have a six in front of it because he's
Speaker 2: a great defensive player. He plays the outfield. Look, this
Speaker 2: is good on Laddie, he got paid. Good on the
Speaker 2: Blue Jays. They finally got somebody. I've been talked to
Speaker 2: Joe Alrico since this has happened. I can only assume
Speaker 2: he is super excited about this. Finally the Blue Jays
Speaker 2: got somebody. And I like when guys spend their whole
Speaker 2: careers basically at one spot. I think that's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: You know, I am a throwback. I am romantic about
Speaker 2: baseball still, and it's nice when you have a player
Speaker 2: who just you know, comes through an organization, stays with
Speaker 2: an organization. And I'm not surprised it happened this weekend
Speaker 2: because I was watching the home opener and those guys
Speaker 2: were out there before batting practice, hanging out with each other,
Speaker 2: chumming around. And I get it, a countryman, everybody's hanging around.
Speaker 2: Everybody love and let I don't know, they looked awful
Speaker 2: chummy together, and I think the ownership was like, we
Speaker 2: can't let this get any further. If it's five and
Speaker 2: that's the number that gets it done, let's just get
Speaker 2: it done. And they got it done, so their credit
Speaker 2: good job also getting it done. Logan o'hoppi. Four homers
Speaker 2: in four days an incredibles start three forty five, three
Speaker 2: sixty seven, eight sixty two slash five homers, nine rebies,
Speaker 2: Joey P's favorite catcher of the year doing pretty good. Unfortunately,
Speaker 2: one of my other favorite cheaper catchers on the IL
Speaker 2: more to come, also a big Dodger pitcher going in
Speaker 2: the IL. We're gonna break that down a little later.
Speaker 2: But speaking of the Dodgers, the Phillies take two from
Speaker 2: the Dodgers. If you watch the show on Friday, I
Speaker 2: gave you the Phillies plus one eighteen to stick the
Speaker 2: Dodgers with their first l and they did, and then
Speaker 2: they won this series from them. The Phillies are not
Speaker 2: intimidated the Oscar Hernandez two homers, But Jose Alvarado, he's
Speaker 2: the closer, folks. I hate to break it to anybody
Speaker 2: who still has got questions about it. He gets a
Speaker 2: second save. Casianos's a grand slam. Glass now was no
Speaker 2: good five runs, two innings for him, but that was
Speaker 2: really uncomfortable. He looked like he could not get his
Speaker 2: good footing on the mound at all. The weather was crappy,
Speaker 2: the whole situation was bad. Glass now just looked completely uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: I would write this one off and not for you know,
Speaker 2: remember it at all. But your boy was terrific too.
Speaker 2: I want to shout him out because Christopher Sanchez nine strikeouts,
Speaker 2: So great day for the Phillies, great day for Sanchez.
Speaker 2: Not a good day for Teleglass now.
Speaker 3: No, not a good day for Dodgers in general. As
Speaker 3: you're gonna mention, by the way, it is just a
Speaker 3: delight watching you do this show and talk like this.
Speaker 3: You can't even see Joe's mouth. You actually look like
Speaker 3: Warshock from Like the Watchman. You're just like the things
Speaker 3: are just moving around.
Speaker 2: I'm like a I have to like over emphasize for
Speaker 2: you to see my mouth.
Speaker 3: That must is quite it's too much. It's quite incredible.
Speaker 3: And tune in for a little bit later. I will
Speaker 3: yoshi impression it as many people are mentioning here. But
Speaker 3: the Chris Sanchez thing I think is really important to
Speaker 3: talk about. There are quite a few pictures I feel,
Speaker 3: relatively in short term of the season, vindicated to a
Speaker 3: couple of the guys that I was pounding the table on.
Speaker 3: I know everybody was pounding the table on Spinster Swellenbach,
Speaker 3: but that was a Day one guy for me, as
Speaker 3: well as talking about Christopher Sanchez being, you know, kind
Speaker 3: of one of those like League Winny type of players
Speaker 3: and the high high K percentage. You know, Era is
Speaker 3: still up, but he's expected Thera is in the low threes.
Speaker 3: He's giving up not a ton of barreled contact. Thirty
Speaker 3: four percent K percentage early on in the year. It's
Speaker 3: a it's a it's a big it's a big win.
Speaker 2: Yeah whoo. And also here a question add Matthew Boyd
Speaker 2: and drop Bailey Obert. No, I would not do that
Speaker 2: at all. I think that's a terrible move. No, No,
Speaker 2: it's gonna be fine. Just relax. Mister Tucker has been
Speaker 2: very good. New mister Cubb, I don't know Kyle Tucker
Speaker 2: man Lettle slow start those first couple of games in Japan,
Speaker 2: but after that, a two run homer RBI single will
Speaker 2: walk against the Padres on Sunday, he is second in
Speaker 2: the majors in homers. He's got five, he's got fifteen ribies,
Speaker 2: he's got thirteen run scored, twelve walks. So so far,
Speaker 2: the Kyle Tucker move for the Cubs has been as
Speaker 2: designed as delivered, And that's great. And I know a
Speaker 2: lot of people still have concerns about him in Wrigley Field.
Speaker 2: At some point, let's let all that play out. Let's
Speaker 2: just live in the awesome right now, and Tucker is
Speaker 2: living in that. Also, we had some good news and
Speaker 2: some prospect World stuff or rookie lookies. At least Dylan
Speaker 2: Crews two for four with a steal on Sunday, so
Speaker 2: he's not getting sent down. That's great. And we had
Speaker 2: a debut from Chase Delander, who earned a victory over
Speaker 2: the Athletics in his first start in the major leagues.
Speaker 2: Now was it perfect? No six strike, strikeouts, one walk.
Speaker 2: He was able to work around some problems there. Delander
Speaker 2: is a guy that you know you talked about in
Speaker 2: the off season, and I know we're always hesitating about
Speaker 2: pitching prospects in Colorado, But what were your takeaways from
Speaker 2: the Chase Delander debut.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was very excited about that. I was actually
Speaker 3: on like a hike with my family, and I didn't
Speaker 3: do a bunch of betting, but I saw one bet
Speaker 3: on the board prior and it was Chase Dolander's strikeouts
Speaker 3: at three and a half yesterday, and I took the
Speaker 3: over and that ended up smashing. As I was go
Speaker 3: around the hike, I was peaking, and then when we
Speaker 3: got it, I was like, ah, it's a beautiful day.
Speaker 3: And he looked pretty dang good, rewatching forty three percent fastball.
Speaker 3: His cutter looked really solid. He threw that twenty seven
Speaker 3: percent of the time. Interesting too, four pitch mix of
Speaker 3: ten percent or more. The cutter and the changeup have
Speaker 3: similar VLO characteristics, but it's just like the change up
Speaker 3: ends up dying and the cutter just moves twenty five
Speaker 3: spin on it, two thousand on the change up, same velo,
Speaker 3: averaging around eighty nine, touching ninety. His curveball looked really
Speaker 3: gross to thirty eight percent whiff rate. He had overall
Speaker 3: ten total whiffs twenty four percent. CSW a little bit lower,
Speaker 3: but you know, he's able to get in his own
Speaker 3: a little bit of a home run problem. I think
Speaker 3: that he is kind of a dude, and I had
Speaker 3: mentioned I tweeted about it. I'm high on Dolander, even
Speaker 3: if he's in Colorado. I thought that was a good
Speaker 3: first start, even though there was a home run problem.
Speaker 3: I think he can get that going. And I think
Speaker 3: he is someone that in twelve teams you should potentially
Speaker 3: look at the back end of your rotation. It's tough.
Speaker 3: Somebody'd ask me Jackson job or him. Oh man, that's
Speaker 3: really really tough job. Maybe a tiny bit more sustainability,
Speaker 3: but I think Dolander's got some huge strikeout potential and
Speaker 3: wait to see him out of Colorado as well.
Speaker 2: Like the prospect don't like the environment. I will be careful.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying he's not worth an ad. If your
Speaker 2: pitching staff is really bad, then okay, yeah, sure you
Speaker 2: can add him and see what happens. But I think
Speaker 2: that you got to be very careful about the start
Speaker 2: you make. We are going to get to more of
Speaker 2: your questions. I see a bunch of them. I'm very
Speaker 2: excited to see all the peanuts and cracker jacks. On
Speaker 2: such a beautiful day, celebrating twenty five thousand subscribers on
Speaker 2: the YouTube channel. I can't wait to see what we're
Speaker 2: gonna do for thirty thousand. Also make sure you subscribe here.
Speaker 2: We're on Twitch, Twitch, dot tv Slash Fantasy Pros Live.
Speaker 2: That's where we are as my audio is muffled by
Speaker 2: my mustache here. But we are going to take a
Speaker 2: break from Mario and Luigi because it's Monday and Mondays.
Speaker 2: We like to do a little segment called Prospecting with
Speaker 2: the Welsh. That's right. Prospecting with the Welsh is our
Speaker 2: favorite time to look down on the farm to see
Speaker 2: about some prospects and not be able to help your
Speaker 2: fantasy team. So let's talk to the Welsh about just
Speaker 2: that Welsh. We had some Chase de Lander moments already
Speaker 2: making a debut. And speaking of the Rockies, we got
Speaker 2: another guy who just got called up in Zach Veen.
Speaker 2: So that's the guy everybody's talking about. If you were
Speaker 2: on the wire last night, you might have already picked
Speaker 2: him up. He's rostered in about thirty five to forty
Speaker 2: percent of leagues right now, hitting three eighty seven, He's
Speaker 2: got a homer, eight ribbys, seven runs, a steal over
Speaker 2: thirty two played appearances. I was bitching and moaning last
Speaker 2: week about why are the Colorado Rockies keeping Zach Viene
Speaker 2: down and signing guys like Mickey Moniac. This makes no
Speaker 2: sense to me, So I can only assume that the
Speaker 2: Rockies GM was watching the show.
Speaker 3: Well, we don't know what to do with this team
Speaker 3: in general, because like we would have put we would
Speaker 3: put Zach Viene on a higher list of watch, but
Speaker 3: they committed to Beck, they signed Mickey Moniac, They've got
Speaker 3: a lot of outfielders, so it's like, what are we
Speaker 3: doing here? So this one came as a as a
Speaker 3: non surprise surprise, if you know what I'm saying. But
Speaker 3: Veen has been a contact monster near the top of
Speaker 3: the tippy of the board as far as like hits go.
Speaker 3: Twelve hits in very very short sample sized a week
Speaker 3: of the minor league season, stolen base already put up
Speaker 3: a homer hit three eighty seven with a four to
Speaker 3: seventy two OBP. What's really interesting about Veen is he's
Speaker 3: one of the most aggressive base stealers on the planet.
Speaker 3: Makes a lot of contact kind of hits across his body.
Speaker 3: I've seen him for a couple of years. Doesn't have
Speaker 3: really great max evs is just a tall skinny guy,
Speaker 3: but dude, he is I'm telling you, if he gets
Speaker 3: on base in this first game, he is stealing immediately.
Speaker 3: So what you have is it's kind of Victor Scotti
Speaker 3: with him that you know, if he were to play
Speaker 3: the whole season and hit like two seventy legitimate shot
Speaker 3: at maybe stealing fifty bases, I think he's going to
Speaker 3: make a ton of contact and Colorado opens up some
Speaker 3: of the offensive possibility. So I think as a fifth outfielder,
Speaker 3: it makes him extra interesting. And to throw this out,
Speaker 3: my buddy Beck had put this out, and I think
Speaker 3: this is important to mention. This week is the end
Speaker 3: of the PPI. So PPI is where if a team
Speaker 3: has a prospect up, you know by opening day, if
Speaker 3: that guy gets Rookie of the Year, they get an
Speaker 3: extra pick. Well, you got to bring prospect up by
Speaker 3: this week. I believe it's by Thursday. Thursday wins there
Speaker 3: Thursday that if a prospect is up and it's with
Speaker 3: the team for the season and wins Rookie the Year,
Speaker 3: they get compensation. So Veen is now eligible for that.
Speaker 3: Maybe that opens up for a few other players, but
Speaker 3: Veen is a twelve team look right now, certainly.
Speaker 2: The stone base is I think a huge part of
Speaker 2: this equation too. When the rules changes recently. I mean,
Speaker 2: there's a guy with a fifty steel season a couple
Speaker 2: of years ago in ninety games, So the stone base
Speaker 2: are going to be there. So if you're in head
Speaker 2: to head category leagues, look, he still got some swing
Speaker 2: and missing the game, but you can overlook that as
Speaker 2: long as he's finding ways to get on base, and
Speaker 2: he's finding ways to hit.
Speaker 3: With and if Colorado opens up, if he opens up
Speaker 3: the offensive potential just by a few other margins, you know,
Speaker 3: a non hit turns into a double, a double turns
Speaker 3: into a homer. Like, that's where things can really change
Speaker 3: at home games. So also watch his splits.
Speaker 2: That's what we'll do, all right. We're also watching Nick Kurtz.
Speaker 2: We talked about him last week and we're talking about
Speaker 2: him still because the hot streak has not gone away.
Speaker 2: Another homer is fourth home run in eight games. So
Speaker 2: the problem is, Soelderstrom's hitting, Brent Rooker is not going anywhere, right,
Speaker 2: So we're trying to find some room at the end
Speaker 2: here for this guy. And it's gonna be a little tricky.
Speaker 2: But if Kurtz continues to hit like this, you gotta
Speaker 2: figure something out, whether it means he's grabbing an outfield
Speaker 2: glove or Brent Rooker is gonna play some more outfit.
Speaker 2: I don't know what the answer is here, but Welsh,
Speaker 2: we've got to start making some room for Nick Kurtz
Speaker 2: because I don't see how another I don't know, thirty
Speaker 2: days of this sort of productivity is going to keep
Speaker 2: him down on the farm.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm wearing the as sell shirts, so sell these
Speaker 3: other players and get Nick Kurtz up. If I were
Speaker 3: to give you a bold, bold prediction, it would be
Speaker 3: that the A's would try to do something this week
Speaker 3: to bring him up. I purposely brought him up last
Speaker 3: week when it maybe wasn't as popular that he could
Speaker 3: come up simply because he is blocked. But he's been amazing.
Speaker 3: I do this little sheet on my ITL Patreon that
Speaker 3: I mentioned the top twenty five prospects to stash and
Speaker 3: I moved him to number one because he's hitting over
Speaker 3: four hundred. He's got four homers all ready, fourteen hits,
Speaker 3: he's got a four P fifty nine OBP strikeouts down,
Speaker 3: he's walking, He's literally doing everything. You just want to
Speaker 3: see them do something. I don't know how they do it.
Speaker 3: I think it would be advantageous for the A's to
Speaker 3: bring up a guy like Kurtz right now, especially if
Speaker 3: they foresee and then maybe this will be telling. By
Speaker 3: the way, if you foresee that Kurtz is going to
Speaker 3: be on this roster a decent amount this year, why
Speaker 3: not bring him up now and put yourself in a
Speaker 3: position where the Rookie of the Year candidate is open
Speaker 3: that you could get him out there and maybe you
Speaker 3: could get another first round pick change the organization. I
Speaker 3: wonder if they think about that, But as we mentioned,
Speaker 3: he's blocked. Sodastrom is ridiculous right now. We haven't seen
Speaker 3: them experiment with Rooker in the outfield or anything like that.
Speaker 3: But I would not be shocked if he came up
Speaker 3: this week due to PPI. Otherwise, he is one of
Speaker 3: the most You have to watch him bats if he
Speaker 3: is called up.
Speaker 2: Also off to a very good start and maybe rocketed
Speaker 2: for the major leagues ticket very soon. Travis Bizana, second
Speaker 2: based prospect of the Guardians. Look, he's hitting a double,
Speaker 2: a home run on Saturday, really good home or two
Speaker 2: singles and A double the next day, He's got four
Speaker 2: hit games, first of his pro career. So Bazana is
Speaker 2: a guy that is probably going to rock it through
Speaker 2: Double A. My guess is by May he's in Triple A.
Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna give him more of a
Speaker 2: month if he keeps this up, and then I do
Speaker 2: believe this is a player you're going to see sooner
Speaker 2: than later, because the Guardians want to compete, and Bazana
Speaker 2: basically has a clear path to this job. So I
Speaker 2: love how we're seeing all these guys from last year's
Speaker 2: draft already just kind of rock it through. I know
Speaker 2: Cam Smith is struggling right now, but you know, Bizana
Speaker 2: fast track Kaglio and we're gonna talk about in a second, Kurtz.
Speaker 2: It's really been a solid draft. And you know last
Speaker 2: year when we talked about the draft, I loved this draft.
Speaker 2: I thought it was a really best draft we've had
Speaker 2: in a long time. So, Bizana, what use your take
Speaker 2: on him? And when do you think we actually see
Speaker 2: him in Cleveland?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would also say, like not a lot of
Speaker 3: people like to this draft, I think it is going
Speaker 3: to go down. Oh, I was one of the best
Speaker 3: first round first year player drafts in Fantasy from the
Speaker 3: top guys in Baziz and cag leone down to where
Speaker 3: Cam Smith is gone, Christian Moore and the pitchers Hagen
Speaker 3: Smith and Chaseburg. The first round went from to incredible.
Speaker 3: There's so much talent high school kids, and Bazana leads
Speaker 3: the tippy top of this. I legitimately thought out of
Speaker 3: camp they might consider even pushing him to the majors.
Speaker 3: He was playing in the minor league spring training games.
Speaker 3: He was playing with High A in minor league spring training,
Speaker 3: and then they moved him up to double dude's hitting
Speaker 3: over five hundred right now and a very you know,
Speaker 3: start out on Friday, of course, but I think I
Speaker 3: think you laid it out pretty properly. I wouldn't be
Speaker 3: shocked if by the end of this month he's at
Speaker 3: TRIPAA and if this team is in highly competitive in
Speaker 3: the division, which they clearly are. I don't know if
Speaker 3: they've got great options at second base that could hold
Speaker 3: him back. I would not be shocked if we saw
Speaker 3: him at some point in May. Maybe they want to
Speaker 3: get that like Super two stuff out of the way first,
Speaker 3: but I do expect to see Travis Bozana mid years.
Speaker 3: So do you want to speculate on him now if
Speaker 3: you've got na spots, if you hold a roster spot, no,
Speaker 3: you would be better off, you know if Kyraen Paris
Speaker 3: is still sitting out there like go and filling it
Speaker 3: with that instead of speculating. But Bazana should be up
Speaker 3: in the near future.
Speaker 2: Paris, I mean, the track record is not there for me.
Speaker 2: I'm not buying this stretch for him. Jack Kaglion and
Speaker 2: a four hundred and sixty foot home er, my god,
Speaker 2: it almost went out of the entire ballpark. It was wild.
Speaker 2: It was like the back row of the grass section
Speaker 2: where you could sit there and just hang out with
Speaker 2: your family and just bring chair.
Speaker 3: Get a five hundred and four foot homer according to
Speaker 3: him in AFL that I was there to watch. I
Speaker 3: videoed it. I never seen anything like it. And I
Speaker 3: talked to him the next day and he said the
Speaker 3: data in the dugout said five oh four nonchalantly, it
Speaker 3: is the It is seventy eighty great. I mean it's
Speaker 3: close to eighty grade power is a possibly get Yeah,
Speaker 3: he is going to be a masher. And you just
Speaker 3: got to watch the contact and strikeouts. I do expect
Speaker 3: we will see Jack at some point this year, but
Speaker 3: I think people feel like it's going to be sooner
Speaker 3: that I don't. I don't think they're going to rush him.
Speaker 3: I think you need a big injury to a guy
Speaker 3: like Vinnie Pasquentino midyear for them to consider it though.
Speaker 3: So he's kind of like Bazana. You don't want to
Speaker 3: get too aggressive. You should nam if you've got like
Speaker 3: some type of rookie in a spot, but holding a
Speaker 3: bench spot right now in most twelve or fifteen's is
Speaker 3: I don't think it's super smart.
Speaker 2: All right, one more guy to talk about and then
Speaker 2: two guys to watch. Andrew Painter, we just got the
Speaker 2: word that they are looking to bring him back sometime
Speaker 2: early July, late July. That's kind of what we're timeframe is.
Speaker 2: But look, this Phillies pitching staff has been so good.
Speaker 2: I'm not expecting Painter to make a huge impact, and
Speaker 2: I can't imagine them munsing him in the bullpen either.
Speaker 2: I think that would be the last thing that Phillies
Speaker 2: want to do with this kid. So it's gonna be
Speaker 2: some sort of starting role. Maybe at some point he
Speaker 2: makes a couple spot starts, maybe the playoffs. I don't know.
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens. I'm not holding my breath for this.
Speaker 2: I think this is more of a twenty twenty six thing.
Speaker 2: But what do you think about Painter and his potential
Speaker 2: arrival in July.
Speaker 3: I do like that they've already told us I love Painter.
Speaker 3: I talked to him, We got to see all his
Speaker 3: starts in the AFL last year, talked to him a bunch,
Speaker 3: super smart guy, great pitch mix, fast, I mean, just
Speaker 3: everything is there. He's pro ready, but they're really really
Speaker 3: babying him like hardcore. And they've told us like he's
Speaker 3: not even going to be an option until July. But
Speaker 3: I think that July marker they are going to push him.
Speaker 3: The only thing I could hold it back is if
Speaker 3: the rotation is pitching well, Chris Sanchez is pitching well,
Speaker 3: he's just Lozardo is pitching well. We'll see with Ranger.
Speaker 3: But what I would say is around June I would
Speaker 3: speculate on Painter, not any further, just like the other
Speaker 3: prospects we talked about. Around June is when I would
Speaker 3: pick him up just in case they get pushed up
Speaker 3: and watch how the rotation is doing, because when he's up,
Speaker 3: he's going to be a guy that you're definitely going
Speaker 3: to want a.
Speaker 2: Roster, all right, real quick, Welsh, give me two more
Speaker 2: guys to watch here before we get out of prospecting
Speaker 2: with the Welsh, YEP.
Speaker 3: Two last players. Just to keep an eye on both
Speaker 3: Triple A players. If you're looking for infield help, chase
Speaker 3: me draft that we mentioned With the White Sox, they've
Speaker 3: got a bunch of dudes. Chase mea drot hitting three
Speaker 3: thirty three, three homers, he's got two stolen bases, seven
Speaker 3: walks to four strikeouts. They've got room on that infield
Speaker 3: with the White Sox and PPI, maybe could be something
Speaker 3: for him. And then finally, the fastest man in the
Speaker 3: minor leagues, Chandler Simpson hitting almost three. He's got eleven
Speaker 3: hits in the minor since it started in tria A
Speaker 3: five stolen bases. And this is a guy that just
Speaker 3: the other day beat out a ground out to first base. Yes,
Speaker 3: he grounded the ball out to first base and he
Speaker 3: beat out. He's the fastest dude in all of baseball.
Speaker 3: Him and Victor Scott are great friends. I talked to
Speaker 3: Victor about it. Chandler is the guy. He makes a
Speaker 3: lot of contact, not a poor bat, and he is
Speaker 3: a literally ground out to shortstop. I'm getting on and
Speaker 3: I'm going to steal a ton of bases. So I
Speaker 3: think the Razor Mangham and Meisner are kind of interesting.
Speaker 3: But they've got this like just weird collection of outfielders
Speaker 3: that you could see Channeler in the near future and
Speaker 3: he will be the stolen base guy to push if
Speaker 3: you are looking to chase that while you're prospecting with
Speaker 3: me the Welsh.
Speaker 2: There you go, and that, my friends, is prospecting with
Speaker 2: the Welsh. Join us every Monday live on leading Off
Speaker 2: on Twitch dot tv Slash Fantasy Pros. That's the place
Speaker 2: to be for Prospecting with the Welsh Live and of
Speaker 2: course you can always watch us video on demand on
Speaker 2: the YouTube channel. Don't forget to subscribe. We're a twenty
Speaker 2: five thousand subscriber and growing every single day. All Right,
Speaker 2: we're back to this woolet rock some questions in here too,
Speaker 2: because they've got a lot of stuff going on here today.
Speaker 2: We're having some fun. Here's one from be looking to
Speaker 2: make a pickup from the wave wire vn or Jordan Walker.
Speaker 2: I would be picking up Jordan Walker, your thoughts.
Speaker 3: Jordan Walker, my friends. I believe he is at the
Speaker 3: tippy top of bat speed right now. He's barreling. He's
Speaker 3: the dude and his Yoshi would say.
Speaker 2: Us, that's actually not bad. Solar Flare drop roblis for Veen.
Speaker 3: Oh no, I would have to. I l Roblist. Robliss
Speaker 3: had a bad I was told not to watch it.
Speaker 3: I don't like bad injuries. Everyone knows.
Speaker 2: I watched it.
Speaker 3: It was rough, you get blocked. I don't do injuries,
Speaker 3: but it's I don't think it was bad.
Speaker 2: I mean, look, it was definitely bad, but I wasn't like,
Speaker 2: oh God grows like that. It wasn't that kind of thing.
Speaker 2: But there you go. All right, let's get to some
Speaker 2: fun facts. Fun facts here I got. I can't talk
Speaker 2: with this mustache. It's crazy. Here we go. Mets staff
Speaker 2: is first in starting pitcher era relief pitcher era opponents
Speaker 2: ops five seventy three and home runs per nine point five.
Speaker 2: So the starting pitcher era is a collective is two
Speaker 2: four zero. The relief pitture era is one point twenty nine.
Speaker 2: So everybody made fun of all the Mets pitching staff.
Speaker 2: I don't think they're making fun right now. I'm telling
Speaker 2: you that whatever they've done here in this new Sterns regime,
Speaker 2: you gotta pay attention to when you see these guys
Speaker 2: starting to pop off. Also fun. The San Francisco Giants,
Speaker 2: not the Dodgers, are in first place right now in
Speaker 2: the West. I don't know how long that's going to last, Welsh,
Speaker 2: but I just wanted to give the Giants some love.
Speaker 2: Pitching's been solid, Helio Ramos has been terrific there. William
Speaker 2: Doomas hasn't hit yet, but I assume that he is
Speaker 2: going to. I think we got to give a little
Speaker 2: love to the Giants here on a Monday morning, where
Speaker 2: they sit at top of a division that's got the
Speaker 2: Padres who've been red hot, the Dodgers who've been red hot.
Speaker 2: But it's the Giants right now who have the best
Speaker 2: record in baseball. How about that?
Speaker 3: Yeah? And the NL West probably the most competitive division.
Speaker 3: I know the AL East is right there, but they
Speaker 3: know West with how the Padres have been and the Dodgers,
Speaker 3: so I think they're a super sneaky team. I will
Speaker 3: say they are striking out like crazy offensively. They could
Speaker 3: probably use some type of offensive bat in a trade,
Speaker 3: but their rotation is getting by.
Speaker 2: Right now, here's one from Derek picking up Junghu, Lee
Speaker 2: or Veen? Who do you want to pick up?
Speaker 3: I would go with Lee. I guess I'm I guess
Speaker 3: I'm not as optimistic people. I feel like people are
Speaker 3: wanting to drop like really solid outfielder fives. And there's
Speaker 3: not a lot we know about Dean, but Veen is
Speaker 3: fun to speculate on.
Speaker 2: Here's one drop cruise for Victor Scott.
Speaker 3: No, okay, oh, for Victor Scott. I thought it was Veen.
Speaker 2: H Victor Scott.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna still say. No, man, I'm gonna hope that
Speaker 3: that two hit game cruises kind of get get back going.
Speaker 3: It's been really gross. I'm gonna hope he's bouncing back.
Speaker 2: All right. Speaking of bouncing back, let's talk about the
Speaker 2: three ups. We've got. Jackson, Churio, Homer twice drove in five,
Speaker 2: I've runs. The Brewers beat the Reds eight to two. Boy,
Speaker 2: the Reds are all or nothing. They either score one
Speaker 2: run or like one hundred. This team has got no
Speaker 2: in between of them.
Speaker 3: Right now, you got Hunter Green versus Logan Web. I
Speaker 3: think it is a crazy matchup, so they're gonna need
Speaker 3: some runs.
Speaker 2: Seriously, I don't if they're gonna get any, but the
Speaker 2: good to see Cherio bouncing back after a slow start.
Speaker 2: Weekend in New York. Alex Bregman, he was very good.
Speaker 2: Four for five, two doubles, a homer. They played a
Speaker 2: double dip yesterday and guess who was good. Raph Field
Speaker 2: Devers four for four, a pair of doubles, four runs, score,
Speaker 2: three RBI, a home run in the first game of
Speaker 2: the double header. So a great day for him. Let
Speaker 2: me just cavea on it and saying that the Cardinals
Speaker 2: pitching is terrible. The Cardinal pitching staff is a complete
Speaker 2: dumpster fire. Okay, the rotation is bad. The bullpen might
Speaker 2: be worse, or probably is worse. It's bad. I'm glad
Speaker 2: Raffie Deverses. I'm glad he had a good day at
Speaker 2: the plate. I'm glad he's starting to pull himself out
Speaker 2: of it. Am I completely not concerned anymore about Devers, No,
Speaker 2: not yet, but I want to give credit where credit
Speaker 2: is due. Gonna, I'm gonna shout out Raffie Devers because
Speaker 2: he had a really good day yesterday especially and certainly
Speaker 2: the numbers starting to tick back up. Let's see how
Speaker 2: it plays out against somebody besides the Cardinals.
Speaker 3: I thought you were gonna give credit. Recredit was due
Speaker 3: to me for being the one that wasn't selling and
Speaker 3: backing and freaking out because I was the one that
Speaker 3: was like, I get credit by you. But that was
Speaker 3: My question is like, are you backing off your stance
Speaker 3: of getting him the hell out of Dodge and not
Speaker 3: buying on him?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Now yet, although now that the Vladdie Guerrero Junior
Speaker 2: signing has happened, it becomes infinitely more interesting the teams
Speaker 2: that might be kicking tires on third baseman. Just saying

Speaker 2: MLB my Playbook or download Fantasy Baseball my Playbook app
Speaker 2: today wherever you get your apps from. With the ups
Speaker 2: come the downs. Miles Nicholas not good. Michael's give up
Speaker 2: nine runs, eight earned, eleven hits and two and two
Speaker 2: Thursds innings. That's pretty pretty awful. Brian Wu also not
Speaker 2: a good day for him against the Giants who can't
Speaker 2: be stopped. Four runs, five hits and six things of work.
Speaker 2: And then Corbyn Burns was charged with four runs over
Speaker 2: five innings on Sundays. So Corbyn Burns to me last year,
Speaker 2: you know that little bit of a fade for him
Speaker 2: was noticeable. I don't know if it was pressure, I
Speaker 2: don't know if he just wasn't right health wise, but
Speaker 2: I feel like we are removed from the days of
Speaker 2: Corbyn Burns being you remember those stretch Corbyn Burns had
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago when he opened the season
Speaker 2: and he had like sixty strikeouts and two walks. Remember
Speaker 2: that Corbyn Burns, it was just filthy, dominant it's been
Speaker 2: a while since we've seen that guy. I'm not freaking
Speaker 2: out about Corbyn, but are you a little worried here
Speaker 2: of what the Diamondbacks purchase at the stage of his career.
Speaker 3: I mean it's kind of loaded. Like I'm worried about
Speaker 3: the early stuff with him. He made this pitch mix change.
Speaker 3: It looked I think it was last year where he went,
Speaker 3: let me open this up. I think it went more primary.
Speaker 3: I guess it was the I guess it was the
Speaker 3: cutter percentage was kind of all over the board, and
Speaker 3: it was he he had added the slider in and
Speaker 3: he kind of did the slider thing again this year
Speaker 3: while dumping down the change up. So the change up
Speaker 3: is the thing that's really gone by I guess the
Speaker 3: problem would be so far for this season is the
Speaker 3: cutter vlo is down by essentially almost like a mile
Speaker 3: and a half, So I mean that is down in general,
Speaker 3: it's a lot, yeah, which is it's significant enough. And
Speaker 3: then this slider is just not efficient right now. That
Speaker 3: is down about a mile per hour as well. It's
Speaker 3: not getting whiffs. But it's very very early on in
Speaker 3: the season. It's a little bit of a different environment.
Speaker 3: You know you were in a pitcher friendly environment in Baltimore.
Speaker 3: It's more hitter friendly in Arizona. Tough division and stuff
Speaker 3: like that. I'm not sure I would read much into
Speaker 3: it at this point, but I kind of know what
Speaker 3: you're saying, Like if you think the eliteness is behind,
Speaker 3: I don't. I think there's a lot of offensive run
Speaker 3: support out there. Defense hasn't really been Their dinebacks were
Speaker 3: like one of the best defensive teams last year. Their
Speaker 3: crap this year, so we have to see that kind
Speaker 3: of adjust. But you know, the other the last thing
Speaker 3: is like we saw Burns have kind of like a
Speaker 3: tale of two halves as well. He was great in
Speaker 3: the first half, he struggled in the second half, and
Speaker 3: you just cross your fingers. It doesn't carry over. If
Speaker 3: you give me two more starts, I am gonna start worrying.
Speaker 3: But maybe to what you're alluding to, that might be
Speaker 3: too late. So I can understand if someone is worrying.
Speaker 3: It's a five VRA expected is the same. The stuff
Speaker 3: is down a little bit. I'm not sure it's over,
Speaker 3: but I didn't need at least one more before I
Speaker 3: start even reacting to it.
Speaker 2: I was a fate of Burns coming into the year,
Speaker 2: and I went on record and saying that I thought
Speaker 2: Gown was a better return on investment of his ADP
Speaker 2: than Burns wasn't his. So it's gonna being to see
Speaker 2: you're you're right, though, I think, you know, let's give
Speaker 2: it one more to before we start really trying to
Speaker 2: get out of it. But it's going to be tricky.
Speaker 2: I love that Sabo goggles back of me up. I
Speaker 2: love Sabo Devers was still laying on all the swings
Speaker 2: and the Cardinals pitching is so bad. He at everything. Oppoh,
Speaker 2: that's right, he did, uh and they were terrible. Here's
Speaker 2: a question for McGrady. Are we expecting tight pants Robbie
Speaker 2: Ray to get his strikeout rate back before Tommy John Well,
Speaker 2: the strikeout rate was pretty good in the spring, So
Speaker 2: my answer is yes, Welsh, I do expect that to return.
Speaker 2: Your answer, yeah.
Speaker 3: I didn't know if the question was going to be like,
Speaker 3: do we expect his pants to get tighter? You know
Speaker 3: those you don't see those memes where it's like, you know,
Speaker 3: for every hundred likes will make someone's head bigger. It's
Speaker 3: like for every hundred likes, we'll get Robby Ray's pants
Speaker 3: even tighter.
Speaker 2: Everybody's talking about my type pain I would expect.
Speaker 3: So it's a thirteen percent k percentage that's not going
Speaker 3: to stick. I think he will get right here. It's again,
Speaker 3: it's very early to kind of focus on that type
Speaker 3: of stuff. Red's today that Yeah, you know, if you
Speaker 3: were if you were pit, the Reds would be like
Speaker 3: a good, a good get back type game.
Speaker 2: Get ten today, Wally World totally a soda strum, Natelo
Speaker 2: or Manzarto rest of season. If you can only have one,
Speaker 2: who do you want? Dude?
Speaker 3: This is tough. I talked if you guys listen on Friday,
Speaker 3: I talked up Nate Low and then he I think
Speaker 3: he hit a homer on that Friday or Saturday. I
Speaker 3: still go Manzarto totally. It looks the worst right now.
Speaker 3: That one I can't get out from under Sodastrom looks
Speaker 3: so good and Low I think I think it's just
Speaker 3: totally as like down. So he's the one becausin.
Speaker 2: Donnie has his type pants on as I as I expect,
Speaker 2: as I expect at all times. And you know, look,
Speaker 2: maybe you don't feel great anymore, you know, you're getting older,
Speaker 2: maybe those type pants don't fit anymore, you're a little tired,
Speaker 2: Maybe recovery takes a little longer. Maybe your performance to
Speaker 2: the gym or you know, and sports just isn't what
Speaker 2: it used to be. These could all be signs, Luigi,

Speaker 2: my god, that was terrifying. This is why you watch
Speaker 2: the YouTube channel. Kids. Subscribe today. We're giving away free stuff.
Speaker 2: More on that. Let's do the injuries real quick, Blake
Speaker 2: snell Oh, this is crushing. This is so sad. Fifteen
Speaker 2: dail left shoulder inflammation. He won his first start, but
Speaker 2: he wasn't great. The next start wasn't good. Through a
Speaker 2: bullpen session Sunday morning. No timetable yet, Welsh, what your
Speaker 2: panic meter here? On?
Speaker 3: Snell I mean, like we talked about Simeon and these guys,
Speaker 3: it's not the panic levels pretty low. They're babying him.
Speaker 3: They've got twelve pictures. Yeah, I'm like, okay, cautiously optimistic.
Speaker 3: The first half last year was the biggest disaster on
Speaker 3: the planet for him. He ended up being like the
Speaker 3: number you know, the number one pitcher in the second half.
Speaker 3: So might be a buying opportunity. Let's monitor the injury.
Speaker 3: But you know, the Dodgers, their pictures get hurt, they
Speaker 3: have to baby him back. I'm not like, this suck,
Speaker 3: but you had to expect this. There are pictures that
Speaker 3: you have to build in the miss time. I think
Speaker 3: Snell was one of those, just like it would be jabram.
Speaker 2: Uh Lucerios here your Diaz was dropped in my league
Speaker 2: and Ivan horareers on the IL. Should I claim it? Yes,
Speaker 2: pick up DZ right now, one hundred percent. I mean,
Speaker 2: I'd rather have Dz rest of season anyway. So that's crazy.
Speaker 2: I'm a little concerned about the shoulder issue. While she's right,
Speaker 2: it's April, but this really is thrown a damper. And
Speaker 2: what I just say on Friday, what can stop the
Speaker 2: Dodgers injuries? In playoff format. Yeah, here we go. I mean,
Speaker 2: could you imagine if Glass now just wasn't right somewhere else?
Speaker 2: Like I thought, he was just uncomfortable. He seemed like
Speaker 2: a hard time grip in the ball, in the weather.
Speaker 2: He seemed like he hated the mound in Philadelphia. He
Speaker 2: was constantly picking at them the whole thing.
Speaker 3: The first half. It's like that. I mean, this was
Speaker 3: hage me here. But this is like the jerk, if
Speaker 3: you remember the jerk. He hates these cans. He hates
Speaker 3: the first half more than anything.
Speaker 2: Well, he's not used to it, you know, usually Todd
Speaker 2: of Glass. Now, he's not used to pitching in bad
Speaker 2: weather because typically he doesn't start the year un till
Speaker 2: like June, and he never really finishes the season, so
Speaker 2: he's never pitching in October or September very much. So,
Speaker 2: I mean, this is kind of weird. He's like, what
Speaker 2: is this? What is this? Fifty five degrees you speak of?
Speaker 2: Tyler glassnow? No leike Mariners infielder Victor Roblest ran into
Speaker 2: a wall. He's on the il terrific play. But oh man,
Speaker 2: it's April kid. Slow down. We talked earlier and mentioned
Speaker 2: this about Ivan Raira the knee going to the eel.
Speaker 2: It was just inflammation though no structural damage. That's the
Speaker 2: good news, but unfortunately he's gonna miss some time. Royce Lewis,
Speaker 2: with the hamstring, has been hitting and doing some light running. Welsh,
Speaker 2: have you done any light running this week?
Speaker 3: I was out hiking yesterday in a little light running out.
Speaker 2: That's the hiking. Is that like running running in.
Speaker 3: There's a bit of light running. I'm actually right, as
Speaker 3: much as I don't look at I am a runner.
Speaker 2: So do you hold the B button down and run
Speaker 2: really really fast like I do? That's what Mario does. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's how I run. And also despite pinch hitting on Saturday,
Speaker 2: Matt McClain still out yesterday, so keep an eye. He's
Speaker 2: day to day with hamstring tightness. That's never good. But
Speaker 2: you know what is good Welsh? The best bets of
Speaker 2: the day with a Joe and the well and we're
Speaker 2: gonna do the best of bets. See, I'll put the
Speaker 2: mustasher back on. The forty is a bit because he's
Speaker 2: a fun you can try. So. I gave you the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: They won a.
Speaker 1: Game against the I'm sorry the Phillies they beat at
Speaker 1: the Dodgers last week. I got your money on that,
Speaker 1: so that's a nice Today I got a skinny parlay
Speaker 1: and I got a.
Speaker 2: Logan Gilbert for you. So Logan Gilbert over six and
Speaker 2: a half strikeouts minus one oh six. Then I want
Speaker 2: to take Francisco Lindor to score a run. It's minus
Speaker 2: one fifty, but I'm gonna pair it with one Soto
Speaker 2: to get an RBI today at plus one sixty five.
Speaker 2: You put those two things together, you get two forty nine.
Speaker 2: So there you go, plus two forty nine for Lindor
Speaker 2: to score and want so to drive in anybody, including himself.
Speaker 2: I like that today against the Miami Marlins, and Blazzo
Speaker 2: is pitching today, so give me a crack at that. Welsh,
Speaker 2: take us through your best bets of the day, because
Speaker 2: they see you are also on mister Logan Gilbert as well.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm not gonna do a voice. I can't do
Speaker 3: the impression. I can only do weird ones. I will
Speaker 3: say this. Sabel said, I run with Sandals.
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 3: I'm a Sandals guy. Funny enough, we had a little
Speaker 3: bet behind the scenes. I don't know if we're going
Speaker 3: to count this, but we said with our boy CALLI
Speaker 3: over under for this week on Typo's was point five
Speaker 3: and Joe and I smashed.
Speaker 2: The over smash the over.
Speaker 3: Hunter Green's name is spelled wrong, but I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know if we want to hit him with
Speaker 3: it because it is still Green. I did type it correctly.
Speaker 2: But no, all right, it's wrong. Sorry, Callie. It took
Speaker 2: you one show, Cally, one show, Kelly.
Speaker 3: I'm doing as you. I got a little parley in
Speaker 3: here as well. I got Logan Gilbert Hunter Green at
Speaker 3: six plus strikeouts. I believe they're both around six point five.
Speaker 3: Hunter Green, I got to tell you it might even
Speaker 3: be a play to play the alt and go to eight.
Speaker 3: He struck out eight though in his last two. But
Speaker 3: the Giants are like bottom three in the league, and
Speaker 3: strikeouts per game is in. They are striking out, so
Speaker 3: I like that. Houston is also in the top ten
Speaker 3: of strikeouts as far as hitters go. So both of
Speaker 3: these guys, it's a good bet you're getting even money.
Speaker 3: You want to play it to seven, you could totally
Speaker 3: do that. I'm just playing it down a little bit.
Speaker 3: Six comboed Michael King. Seven strikeouts you're getting plus one
Speaker 3: point fifteen. I really like that one. I know that
Speaker 3: A's have been a little bit more patient, but they
Speaker 3: have given up some seven strikeout games. Two pitchers Michael
Speaker 3: King is coming off a huge one. Chase Dolanders struck
Speaker 3: out six yesterday while getting hit a little bit. I
Speaker 3: like Michael King at seven strikeouts. And Saint Louis Pittsburgh
Speaker 3: over eight total runs. I believe the Cardinals are averaging
Speaker 3: like six runs per game right now there. Their offense
Speaker 3: is kind of going. They got two we got two
Speaker 3: not great pitchers going in Libertore and Mazinski or however
Speaker 3: you say it. So I'm gonna go over the eight
Speaker 3: total runs on Saint Louis and Pittsburgh. I believe they're
Speaker 3: both averaging around nine. You have a push potential on it.
Speaker 3: So those are my three best bets of the day.

Speaker 2: Matt Olson. I got one from Brent Rooker. I'm not
Speaker 2: on the board because I've only got two.
Speaker 3: Haang it.
Speaker 2: But Razor up at the top at eight. Welsh not
Speaker 2: on the board, so congrats. The Razor's still holding strong
Speaker 2: through the weekend. I'll meet this simple. I'm going with
Speaker 2: Juan Soto my one to one in my heart plus
Speaker 2: four hundred today. If you want to bet him to
Speaker 2: hit that homer. I'm taking one Soto today. Welsh, who
Speaker 2: are you taking?
Speaker 3: I'm taking a new mustache here. I'm gonna go with
Speaker 3: mister Fernando Tatis Junior versus Louis Severino. Severino gave up
Speaker 3: a couple homers. I believe it was in the last
Speaker 3: start or it was the first one though, but I
Speaker 3: think Tatis is gonna get one. We're going big fly
Speaker 3: on Fernando.
Speaker 2: There you go, big fly on Fornando. Look, we went
Speaker 2: a little long today. I know we were talking about
Speaker 2: the U zero for five what we're gonna call it.

Speaker 2: want to vote in that poll, live to be a
Speaker 2: part of. Is it the Sinko Stinko? Is it the uh?
Speaker 2: What was it? The Spicy Margarita? The Kaisa Treks right,
Speaker 2: that was also there.
Speaker 3: Sinko, Stinko and Spice and Margarita are my favorites.
Speaker 2: Yes, we will throw the Kaisa Trecks in there too.
Speaker 2: But there was another one too that was pretty amusing.
Speaker 2: We'll have to find that last one. But oh the
Speaker 2: Millort that was the last one. Thank you, Jasy pros See,
