Speaker 1: my god, but there were some big performances. Streaming pictures
Speaker 1: this week have been wild. We're gonna give you a
Speaker 1: few more for Thursday and Friday. We got some bets.
Speaker 1: I gotta bet that I love so much that I

Speaker 1: went from a plus one twenty five to a minus
Speaker 1: money number in a matter of twenty minutes. We'll tell

Speaker 1: my price picks, so we'll do that.
Speaker 2: Boba.
Speaker 1: How we doing, brother, We're down to the final three days.
Speaker 1: I cannot freaking believe it. What are those last little
Speaker 1: grinds looking like?
Speaker 2: For you?
Speaker 3: We're doing well, and luckily I don't do any daily leagues,
Speaker 3: so it's I said it on Monday and crossing my
Speaker 3: fingers and I'll reset some of my NFPC lineups for
Speaker 3: the bats at least on Friday. But it's a lot
Speaker 3: of watching live standings change and going from first to
Speaker 3: third to second, back to third to first. It's all
Speaker 3: over the board. It's a it's a roller coaster of
Speaker 3: emotions right now. As they would say, mmm, that's how
Speaker 3: I go. I didn't even check my best balls. My
Speaker 3: best balls are where it's at. My big important leagues
Speaker 3: were into the championship week fails, which have definitely disappointed me.
Speaker 3: But a lot of you are doing great. Joshua's in
Speaker 3: the chat saying I'm currently in a championship with a
Speaker 3: four eighty eight to two, fourteen point lead. I think
Speaker 3: you're looking.
Speaker 1: I don't want to think it pretty good, pretty good,
Speaker 1: pretty pretty good. Maybe you had Ellie or maybe you
Speaker 1: had Sodo. We're gonna talk about those guys going up
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, except for General Luke, who said
Speaker 1: I bened Ellie yesterday. Loof also going on as cheap
Speaker 1: plug over to the ITL Fantasy Baseball pod that I
Speaker 1: think we'll be dropping tomorrow. We're doing that early mock
Speaker 1: that's been going on, and I should have checked where
Speaker 1: Ellie has been going because I'm very I'm very curious
Speaker 1: to dissect, also wanting to dissect like the draft you
Speaker 1: guys did the Robert petrou one with like mine, and
Speaker 1: kind of seeing where the big differences ended up being.
Speaker 2: You know, Ellie went the third pick around to pick
Speaker 2: eighteen overall.
Speaker 1: He went eighteen overall on yours. Yep, Okay, I'm looking
Speaker 1: at mine now, Ellie. I don't think I think Ellie
Speaker 1: went later because of the struggles. Yeah, Ellie went the
Speaker 1: eighth pick in the third round, so in fifteen math
Speaker 1: that would be forty three.
Speaker 3: So that's more doable for me. This eighteenth overall not
Speaker 3: a chance even before.
Speaker 1: But I think you guys were like a month ago.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but even before the struggles, I was never going
Speaker 3: to be in on that forty three.
Speaker 2: You were starting to get in the wheelhouse of interesting.
Speaker 1: I think mid third round sounds like Ellie, right.
Speaker 2: That's fair, that's fair. I can get behind that at least.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and jumping into the headlines, we'll actually jump
Speaker 1: right over to that. The reason we're talking so much
Speaker 1: about Ellie. He went three for five, two homers, four RBIs,
Speaker 1: which now gives him thirteen homers and thirty three stolen
Speaker 1: bases on the year, which is both impressive and then
Speaker 1: also like a little down if you think about it,
Speaker 1: because there's been a lot of negativity towards the batting
Speaker 1: average and just the inconsistencies of Ellie. He's been up
Speaker 1: for a decent amount of time. But you also look
Speaker 1: at those pure numbers. Thirteen and thirty three over an
Speaker 1: entire season is pretty good. Then you start to play
Speaker 1: the extrapolating game, and Ellie's in another world. He hit
Speaker 1: one for sixty. I think he had another one nineteen
Speaker 1: max ev. So I mean the pure power is onto play.
Speaker 1: It is truly with Ellie just about making consistent contact
Speaker 1: exactly like we talked about with O'Neil Cruz. And I
Speaker 1: hate to do that because I think that's kind of
Speaker 1: like sometimes you're being stupid and cheap comps. We're like,
Speaker 1: oh look big six foot ye and it's just like
Speaker 1: the same. We're trying to just make the players. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're trying to make them the same player. But the
Speaker 1: similarities are eerie. Yeah, they are eerie with it. The
Speaker 1: strikeout numbers thirty four percent with Ellie right now. But
Speaker 1: to end to hot is a pretty pretty important thing.
Speaker 1: He's hitting well, actually, he's not really hitting ending hot
Speaker 1: these last couple of games, one ninety two this month,
Speaker 1: one ninety eight last month, two thirty eight in July,
Speaker 1: and three oh seven in June. So it has been
Speaker 1: a pretty stark teardown. And he's gonna have to learn
Speaker 1: to hit lefties because he's hitting one eighty five against lefties.
Speaker 1: But I think third round seems about the place that
Speaker 1: Ellie's gonna go for next year. And I think you agree, yea.
Speaker 3: I think he's pretty pretty much about right, especially if
Speaker 3: he somehow finishes strong this weekend.
Speaker 2: People remember that in a big.
Speaker 1: Way Yeah, the like the last week or two can
Speaker 1: mean so much to players value in all the breakdowns
Speaker 1: we're going to do. I mean, think about where Michael
Speaker 1: King has been an oh man last month is going
Speaker 1: to do to his value outside of like a lot
Speaker 1: of us. Yeah, I said it was a month ago.
Speaker 1: Like when I start to like dig in, I'm excited
Speaker 1: to dig into him because he's going to be a sleeper.
Speaker 1: He's not a sleeper. It's just not a sleeper pre anymore.
Speaker 1: Because he's been so good towards the back half of
Speaker 1: the year, it's going to have ruined and kind of
Speaker 1: taken that off the table, like it ruined in like
Speaker 1: the best possible way I can tell everyone.
Speaker 2: I I heard a fun comparison with Michael King.
Speaker 3: He's like this year's Justin Steele wor he finished the
Speaker 3: season strong and it moved him up draft boards just enough,
Speaker 3: or people who are actually interested in him now instead
Speaker 3: of a sleeper, he's on the radar from like maybe
Speaker 3: pick one twenty to one seventy something like that type player.
Speaker 1: Yeah, completely agree. Some other performances are actually going to
Speaker 1: talk about Michael King and a few others here in
Speaker 1: just a little bit. But want to talk about one
Speaker 1: Soto that was actually the lead for today. Wan Soto
Speaker 1: win three for four, had a couple homers on Tuesday
Speaker 1: now hitting two seventy six, which is very impressive. You
Speaker 1: paid attention to his line, like you know a month
Speaker 1: ago or even two weeks ago. He has a career
Speaker 1: high thirty five homers, over one hundred RBI and ten
Speaker 1: stolen bases in just under seven hundred plate appearances. But Bob,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you paid attention to this. In the
Speaker 1: month of September, ten of those thirty five homers with
Speaker 1: the first three sixty bat yeah, three sixty batting average,
Speaker 1: and five half of his stolen bases have come in
Speaker 1: this month. So one Soto is ending out this season
Speaker 1: wildly hot. And on top of it all, there are
Speaker 1: rumors that the Padres are going to listen on trades
Speaker 1: for Juan Soto. So, ladies and gentlemen, you have just
Speaker 1: found number two in the biggest conversation piece in the offseason,
Speaker 1: where's Otani go? And where's one Soto gonna get traded?
Speaker 1: And everyone is gonna make their case of the prospects
Speaker 1: they can trade to get one to get one Sodo.
Speaker 3: And it's not two things amazing finished by Soto proving
Speaker 3: once again like the slow start kind of battling injuries
Speaker 3: that were reported. He's so close to having a monster season,
Speaker 3: like he's still so young, Like the.
Speaker 2: Talent is there. It's gonna be interesting. It's not just Soto.
Speaker 3: They're talking about cutting their payroll from like two fifty
Speaker 3: five to two hundred million, so Sodo's gonna be on.
Speaker 3: They have like Snell's obviously gone, So it's gonna be
Speaker 3: an interesting one. Where's the enelsa young winner go? But
Speaker 3: they're gonna probably have to move another piece that's under contract,
Speaker 3: and if they want to get to the two hundred
Speaker 3: million parts, that's.
Speaker 1: Well, like what is that like? You can't move Darvish,
Speaker 1: you can't move Machado. You're not gonna be able to
Speaker 1: definitely be able to Who's like are they gonna just
Speaker 1: give them? They're gonna do giveaway thing?
Speaker 3: You're not your other storyline, Mike Trout wants to go,
Speaker 3: Like there's a lot of moving parts that want to
Speaker 3: go for high.
Speaker 2: Dollars right now.
Speaker 1: I don't I think it's like Hater goes because I
Speaker 1: don't think.
Speaker 2: Hater will go. Yeah, Hater with the drama of the
Speaker 2: past week. Hater.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Sodo will go and then maybe they'll dump another
Speaker 1: thing here or there. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: they're not gonna put themselves in a situation where they
Speaker 1: don't still have superstars. They build this up, they trade
Speaker 1: it away so much. They've got some more depth in
Speaker 1: the minor leagues. Ino and Saras and I were just
Speaker 1: talking about the arison A Fall League rosters which are
Speaker 1: not great, which I've mentioned, and they've got a couple
Speaker 1: of pieces specifically, we're talking about this one guy, Graham Polly,
Speaker 1: who I'm interested in twenty twenty season, but some higher
Speaker 1: strikeout rates, and that is kind of like one of
Speaker 1: those pieces that they love to trade. You know that
Speaker 1: they would end up moving that. You know, maybe what
Speaker 1: they're going to do is they're going to package him
Speaker 1: in or they're going to get these salary dumps out,
Speaker 1: and then they're going to make a couple more aggressive
Speaker 1: trades because Jackson Merrill can uh star getting work this
Speaker 1: year and maybe I don't know if Bogarts goes, but
Speaker 1: even if you were to get rid of like Hater
Speaker 1: and Soda, you still have Machada you still have Bogarts,
Speaker 1: you still have Darvish, you still got your big pieces,
Speaker 1: but they need pitching help. That's going to be the
Speaker 1: really big one. So those are the speculative ones. The
Speaker 1: I got texts about the Darvis thing with why he'll
Speaker 1: be a Chicago cub And there's a lot of cub
Speaker 1: ones that I was getting, like PCA going and we'll
Speaker 1: we'll see where that ends up.
Speaker 2: But get Matt Nervis. There you go.
Speaker 1: But I think everybody has to remember it, at least
Speaker 1: I'm if I'm incorrect. I'm pretty sure Soto's a free
Speaker 1: agent after this year.
Speaker 2: SODA's got one year deal. You're not going to get
Speaker 2: traded for one year. You're not gonna get the King's Ransomer.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna get PCA. You're not gonna get anything huge, huge.
Speaker 3: Shoes unless he agrees to a new contract as part
Speaker 3: as like a science trail seeing in the NBA, it
Speaker 3: ain't happening.
Speaker 1: Where do you think Soto belongs in the draft for
Speaker 1: next year?
Speaker 2: Back into the first round?
Speaker 1: Still he went eleven in the early month.
Speaker 3: That works just because he has so much upside, like
Speaker 3: it's stupid upside. I will say this much though in
Speaker 3: the early DC we did he went picked four of round.
Speaker 1: Three pick four.
Speaker 2: Wow, really yeah.
Speaker 3: That's picked thirty four overall because the struggles were real.
Speaker 1: Then yeah, I mean again, half his stolen bases have
Speaker 1: come this month and then he's had whatever that math
Speaker 1: would end up being like.
Speaker 3: The great, the Great James Anderson got him to go
Speaker 3: with Julio Rodriguez an emmanual class A.
Speaker 2: So not a bad start for James Anderson.
Speaker 1: It's a pretty good group, especially getting Soto back there.
Speaker 1: A couple other just interesting performances. Yesterday Christian Walker Homer
Speaker 1: twice had a double. He drove in six. He drove
Speaker 1: in the most and I've been staring at him in
Speaker 1: this early mock draft. He's one of those guys. Man,
Speaker 1: when you don't pay for the elite players. Around the fifth,
Speaker 1: sixth round, it doesn't feel like you should take him.
Speaker 1: But that's where he's gonna go, if not earlier, when
Speaker 1: you're gonna end up looking at the monstrous numbers, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a mid thirty, you know, high run, high RBI,
Speaker 1: good batting average. Again, Christian Walker is gonna walk in
Speaker 1: as one of the more underrate. Now sometimes we get
Speaker 1: into dangerous territory when we're like, oh, I don't want
Speaker 1: the elite guys because I can go and get you know,
Speaker 1: a Christian Walker. Later we said that about a Brady
Speaker 1: this year and that didn't work out, or Vini Paspentino
Speaker 1: and that didn't work out. But Christian Walker is going
Speaker 1: to be a very popular Homer power chase piece, probably
Speaker 1: post like seventy five in draft something like that.
Speaker 3: He went with the thirteenth pick a round five in
Speaker 3: our deal, so almost carry the two almost as like
Speaker 3: pick seventy two.
Speaker 2: It's not bad.
Speaker 1: Carry the two. Let me see where he went here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, but I agree. I love Christian Walker.
Speaker 3: He's been He was a big time winner for people
Speaker 3: a couple of years ago, got the bump a bit
Speaker 3: and drafts this year. It's just kind of proving that
Speaker 3: that one year was kind of a rough go for
Speaker 3: Christian Walker. The town's legit team's getting better around him.
Speaker 3: So I love Christian Walker.
Speaker 2: I'm with you.
Speaker 3: It'll be interesting though, like when you look at it,
Speaker 3: is it gonna be feasible to pay that price, because
Speaker 3: you know, Goldie's fallen so much. You got bell injury,
Speaker 3: you got some other fish basement going around that that
Speaker 3: make it interesting.
Speaker 1: Well, ninth pick in the sixth round for Christian Walker,
Speaker 1: that's I think that's still pretty good. That's like, I
Speaker 1: don't know what the hell pick that is. I can't
Speaker 1: carry any math right now, but it's it's a good number.
Speaker 1: I think it's a pretty decent number for the production
Speaker 1: they're getting. Also, this is a guy that's gonna rock
Speaker 1: it up boards. But you just wonder if there's gonna
Speaker 1: still be a half decent discount Nolan Jones. It is
Speaker 1: nineteenth homer of the year to eighty nine. He's gonna
Speaker 1: be walking out right around nineteen stolen bases seven I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: nineteen homer, seventeen stolen bases in around four hundred played appearances,
Speaker 1: which you all can carry some math there. That's going
Speaker 1: to equate to a relative projected twenty five to twenty
Speaker 1: five season in Colorado, hitting in a primary spot. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be hard for us to not love, all of
Speaker 1: us love Nolan Jones.
Speaker 2: Next year.
Speaker 1: It's just gonna be where does the math, Where does
Speaker 1: the number end up settling out if it's post one fifty,
Speaker 1: because not everybody's caught in Yeah, exactly, lock it up.
Speaker 3: Lock it up, Yeah, I would. I'll dream for a
Speaker 3: post one fifty. I just don't know because the sharps
Speaker 3: will be on top of this one. I have so
Speaker 3: many shares of Nolan Jones and Draft champions and Best
Speaker 3: Ball formats. I was on him out the gate. It's
Speaker 3: been glorious rostering him this season. But yeah, it's gonna
Speaker 3: be tough. I think that ADP is gonna creep up
Speaker 3: to more towards the one hundred world than past one
Speaker 3: to fifty World one.
Speaker 1: He actually just went three picks ago in our draft.
Speaker 1: He went one fourteen, So yeah, that's probably about right.
Speaker 3: It's probably like one to one fifteen makes a lot
Speaker 3: of sense just because and he might even if he
Speaker 3: has a big week and he's got coors Field, if
Speaker 3: he finishes twenty twenty during this season, he's gonna jump
Speaker 3: even more because we see those twenty twenty numbers and
Speaker 3: it just elevates your fantasy stock in.
Speaker 1: A huge Wonkey said her favorite trade of the year
Speaker 1: was when she got Nolan Jones for Nolan Aernado.
Speaker 2: It works, It works, yeah, trade of.
Speaker 1: The Nolans that you can do that Hey, streamer update
Speaker 1: We've been talking a ton, and we're gonna talk here
Speaker 1: in just a second about a few of the streamers.
Speaker 1: You can look for the rest of the week. But
Speaker 1: the streamer update, it's been pretty good, guys, like all
Speaker 1: the not just like it's not my about like we've
Speaker 1: given you the best. Just like the people that are
Speaker 1: out there that are streamable that a lot of us
Speaker 1: are talking about, they are working out. So Michael King
Speaker 1: one hit over six innings against the Blue Jays, that
Speaker 1: was my number one favorite. He was awesome. Bailey Ober
Speaker 1: shut out the A's over five and struck out eight.
Speaker 1: Redebtmers had a big performance seven strikeouts over seven innings,
Speaker 1: gave up one earned run against the Rangers, Bobby Miller
Speaker 1: nine strikeouts, seven innings, two runs, Rhys Olsen gave up
Speaker 1: two runs, well, only one earn in five and two thirds,
Speaker 1: struck out seven. And then Ryan Peppio, who somewhere a
Speaker 1: little bit timid about but he ends up having another
Speaker 1: strong performance, giving up one run, five hits six innings.
Speaker 1: The streamers have been phenomenal so far. Knock on wood
Speaker 1: because tomorrow two of our well Cole Reagan's is no
Speaker 1: longer like even probably available, But some of those pitchers
Speaker 1: you know that we like are still floating out there.
Speaker 1: But none of those guys that we had are like
Speaker 1: I mean, I suppose there's a possibility you could get
Speaker 1: a Sunday start. I don't know out of all those
Speaker 1: guys I just mentioned where you're going to get the
Speaker 1: Sunday start from and pushing and stuff like that. But
Speaker 1: pay attention because they've all been really, really good. Like
Speaker 1: Pepio is one you might.
Speaker 3: Possibly you might get. You could get it all sudden
Speaker 3: potentially in there. That's another one. A shameless plug. On
Speaker 3: yesterday's bench with Bubba, we went through the Friday, Saturday,
Speaker 3: Sunday schedules to help you pick up potential streamers and
Speaker 3: who might pitch who might not based on what's available
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 1: It's been pretty awesome. So let's talk about some of
Speaker 1: those real quick for the rest of the week. Thursday
Speaker 1: I went through. There's only one and it's Sawyer Gibson Long.
Speaker 1: That's it. And unfortunately he's going up against col Reagan,
Speaker 1: So if you're chasing wins, it's kind of dicey. I
Speaker 1: think the performance wise against that offense, it's still good.
Speaker 1: He's still a strikeout option. He's been relatively consistent. That
Speaker 1: might be kind of a duel, or it could blow
Speaker 1: up on our faces. But Gibson Long was the only
Speaker 1: Thursday streamer I really saw that I would feel comfortable
Speaker 1: with that's actually available about because it's a smaller slate.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you. I'm not taking the chances on
Speaker 3: some of these other guys that it would be. You
Speaker 3: take your desperate heaves over the weekend if you absolutely
Speaker 3: need somebody.
Speaker 1: But on Friday, I'm going to present a bunch of
Speaker 1: names to you. First off, we've got Kyle Hendricks at Milwaukee.
Speaker 1: Yay or nay?
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, that's a good one with you.
Speaker 1: Hey, wins ratios, not strikeouts. That's your chase, Probably gonna
Speaker 1: help your whip. How about this chase? Still seth now Set.
Speaker 1: It's been a little bit dicey in some of the performances,
Speaker 1: but he's starting to go a little bit deeper. And
Speaker 1: to me, this was a strikeout chase so versus Oakland?
Speaker 2: Do you like Silsea one hundred percent?
Speaker 3: I wrote down a list in case we don't talk
Speaker 3: about them, and towards the top of that list, I
Speaker 3: strike out upside when he's on amazing. You mentioned the
Speaker 3: struggles of light, but still a phenomenal streaming option.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he put I put him as number two. Now
Speaker 1: the next three are more questions because I don't think
Speaker 1: they're certain here. I think sil Seth is not certain.
Speaker 1: But this is kind of like the Sawyer Gibson along,
Speaker 1: going against the A's type of thing. And and sil
Speaker 1: Seth could have ten strikeouts. So if I'm chasing strikeouts
Speaker 1: and I'm not too concerned maybe about him giving up
Speaker 1: like two or three earned runs, then I would be
Speaker 1: slotting him in. Here are these yay or nay? Tyler
Speaker 1: McGill versus Phillies.
Speaker 3: It might be a resting Phillies team. I might be
Speaker 3: your benefit there. I would pick some of these other
Speaker 3: guys we'll discuss. But if you really really really need
Speaker 3: potential strikeouts, sure.
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's just rank them them. You got Tyler
Speaker 1: McGill versus Philly ken Waldachuck versus the Angels, and re
Speaker 1: you versus Tampa Bay. So then how would you rank
Speaker 1: those for streaming on front?
Speaker 3: For those three, I'd go wal to Chuck mcgil ryu
Speaker 3: because right, he's just been so inconsistent, so I love Waldachuck.
Speaker 2: I think he's a great option.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm I think it's riskier. I think there's a
Speaker 1: lot more risk in there. But Waldachuck in that matchup
Speaker 1: is a little bit better. So those are going to
Speaker 1: be the options we're probably.
Speaker 2: Looking and you're going to give you three more four
Speaker 2: what day Friday? Friday potentially?
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, let's hear him.
Speaker 3: John means won't be a lot of strikeouts, but he's
Speaker 3: getting stretched out and ratio should be amazing, and they
Speaker 3: need going to get stretched out for the postseason.
Speaker 1: What's the matchup?
Speaker 3: Baltimore takes one takes on the Boston Red Sox.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I'll take my chances there.
Speaker 3: I love Alec marsh for the Royals. They've been using
Speaker 3: him as a piggyback role. He still goes about five innings,
Speaker 3: gets your strikeouts, been picked up, wins in three straight outings, gets.
Speaker 2: A depleted Yankees team. Okay, that's a fun one.
Speaker 3: And then Nick Martinez of the Padres has been much
Speaker 3: better over his last few and he gets the Chicago
Speaker 3: White Sox.
Speaker 1: Well, I like that one, okay, because I don't. I'm
Speaker 1: not in love with those other ones. I think there's
Speaker 1: a lot more risk in play, especially because we're that's
Speaker 1: a Friday with like two other days to go in
Speaker 1: your season. That Nick Martine is wan I like a lot,
Speaker 1: and we're going to pick on the White Sox here
Speaker 1: and just a tiny bit, so yes, I am about
Speaker 1: that one uh last thing on the pitching side here.
Speaker 1: Did you see George Kirby get hit by a baseball?
Speaker 1: Someone in the stands threw a ball and it hit him.
Speaker 1: I feel bad for him, and and the replay video
Speaker 1: I saw too, it was just I think it was
Speaker 1: like Ty French just pick up the ball and threw
Speaker 1: it in the stands and it's like, don't throw the.
Speaker 3: Ball back, monsters, And it's the worst part.
Speaker 2: It's in Seattle.
Speaker 1: It was, yeah, and he was like standing on the mountain.
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't with our layouts. I can't like
Speaker 1: pull up the videos here. But he was just like
Speaker 1: sitting there holding the ball, kind of getting ready and
Speaker 1: I want to just look at it again, and then
Speaker 1: he just gets whapped and he just kind of looks around. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I'm watching the replay here and yeah, yeah, so sorry,
Speaker 1: but he's doing this. He's got his hands up with
Speaker 1: a glove and he's like, hey, I need a baseball,
Speaker 1: and a ball just WAPs him in the stomach, right
Speaker 1: in the tummy. Yeah, you got tummy wapped and I've
Speaker 1: never seen before. And he looks around and then they
Speaker 1: just they're just like, here you go, here's the ball.
Speaker 1: So what a weird what a weird season and weird
Speaker 1: thing for Kirby and insane insane? That was odd odd
Speaker 1: baseball time. Let's talk about some injuries. Luise Robert going
Speaker 1: to the IL with an MCL sprain. Good season, over
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty five games, thirty eight homers, twenty
Speaker 1: stolen bases, probably going to be a very very well
Speaker 1: like second round pick in my mind on the back
Speaker 1: end of the second round. But you know, one hundred
Speaker 1: and forty five games for Luis Robert is like him
Speaker 1: playing one hundred and eighty five exactly.
Speaker 3: I was actually a shocked that I saw one forty
Speaker 3: five next to his name. I'm like, oh, wow, what
Speaker 3: they expected.
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. Corey Seeger, but he's out for the year,
Speaker 1: so that's not good. Corey Seeger left Tuesday's game after
Speaker 1: being hit by a pitch on the forearm. X rays
Speaker 1: were negative. I don't know. We're at the point where
Speaker 1: I'm not sure you'd just even come back with.
Speaker 2: Especially the Range Rangers are fighting for postseason.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I suppose you're right with the with it being negative,
Speaker 1: But dude, he has just had like left and right
Speaker 1: and left and right.
Speaker 3: That's It's a typical Courty seeing your season. That's why
Speaker 3: I always have trouble drafting him. I know how good
Speaker 3: he is, but man, he makes you wear it.
Speaker 1: You see one he said Wels she needs a tummy
Speaker 1: wap segment next year when he talks about the Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we could get like the well say, we need
Speaker 1: to have a song that's similar to wap.
Speaker 2: Yeah like that? Yeah, I got you.
Speaker 3: I had another joke I was gonna make, but this
Speaker 3: is a teachy showy show.
Speaker 1: It was fine, but yeah, we have the tummy wap
Speaker 1: segment for sure. Aaron Judge is not going to need
Speaker 1: off season surgery on his knee, So that's a good
Speaker 1: positive sign if everybody's paying attention to that Chas McCormick
Speaker 1: was held helped out the field after a ninety nine
Speaker 1: mile prior fastball hit him on the back. So I
Speaker 1: don't care where.
Speaker 2: It hits you watch that video, he collapses.
Speaker 3: Like it was nasty, really ninety nine mile an hour
Speaker 3: straight to like the bottom of the middle, the numbers
Speaker 3: of the back right there, right on the spine, just
Speaker 3: poking every time.
Speaker 1: It just every hit, I just am like, oh every cringe.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I feel like getting hit by a baseball is like
Speaker 1: a tattoo, where it's like it always hurts, but there's
Speaker 1: like a few places that don't hurt quite as much,
Speaker 1: and then there's a couple that are like the worst.
Speaker 1: And I feel like the same places where the tattoo hurts,
Speaker 1: that's where the ball balls the most, where it's like
Speaker 1: on your spine and you're just like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: you know something like that. But I don't know if
Speaker 1: it hurts like to get the inside of your wrist
Speaker 1: hit by the ball. I don't think that might be
Speaker 1: the only tattoo makes a difference. You guys. Let me know.
Speaker 1: I forgot to tell you we do have a Corbin
Speaker 1: Carroll Welsh where it is the final one, the final
Speaker 1: one of the season.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna give you guys the hint, the final
Speaker 1: one of the season, the tip. Where in the world
Speaker 1: are Welsh and Corbin Carrol coming up here in like
Speaker 1: five minutes home the guess is home. It's not as
Speaker 1: easy as you think. Home is your guess. Where are we?
Speaker 1: You'll be able to find out here in just a bit.
Speaker 1: Three up and three down, seth Lugo eight and two
Speaker 1: thirds struck out seven, giving up nowhere and runs. There's
Speaker 1: just a great pickup on the back half of the
Speaker 1: year he's been. Josiah Gray went six, struck out seven,
Speaker 1: gave up one and run. If you were chasing some
Speaker 1: stolen bases, Will Benson didn't do a bunch, but he
Speaker 1: did steal two yesterday, so pay attention to him for
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. On the down, Hunter Green
Speaker 1: three innings, seven earned runs, as he can do on
Speaker 1: either side. Lucas Giolito has been a regular mainstay of
Speaker 1: this list. Three and one third gave up five and runs,
Speaker 1: walked five, and we had key Brian Hayes and Lawrence
Speaker 1: Butler both go zero for four with four strikeouts. That's
Speaker 1: not super great, Bubba. What is great his price picks,
Speaker 1: price picked promo code leading off. Like I said at
Speaker 1: the top of the show, one hundred percent matchup to
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars. They have supported us all season long.
Speaker 1: I hope you guys have checked them out, because they
Speaker 1: don't end when baseball ends. It's year round because it
Speaker 1: covered lots of sports. So go and check them out today,
Speaker 1: deposit and start preparing for next year. Get that account
Speaker 1: locked up and you can do some more with us.
Speaker 1: Price Picks promo code leading off Bubba, what are you
Speaker 1: doing on the price Picks today?
Speaker 3: Kyle Schuber over half a total base I'll take my chances.
Speaker 3: They're usually their walks, but maybe he runs into one
Speaker 3: in a friendly matchup. Monthsy over one and a half
Speaker 3: total bases and Coors Field seems too good to be true,
Speaker 3: so I like that one a lot. And then Cheriks
Speaker 3: School over six and a half. K's versus the Royal
Speaker 3: School has been nothing short of amazing this season. Kato
Speaker 3: walk of nearly thirty two percent over the last thirty days,
Speaker 3: the only pitcher with one over thirty percent.
Speaker 2: I'll take my chances with the school.
Speaker 1: I agree with you on Schooble because I have a
Speaker 1: strikeout combo, but I'm not going to give it a name.
Speaker 1: Let's just say it's a strikeout combo. Today, I give
Speaker 1: my cute little names. I don't think we need to
Speaker 1: do a strikeout cute little you know name thing. If
Speaker 1: you know where I'm going with this, because I'm going
Speaker 1: to go with Scooble strikeouts, Scooble k's on the up.
Speaker 1: I'm going to go with Brandon fought k's on the
Speaker 1: up at five and a half. And I'm going to
Speaker 1: go with Joey Estes and Pablo Lopez twelve and a
Speaker 1: half strikeouts on the down so under. So that is
Speaker 1: my k prop for the three sides again, Estes, Lopez
Speaker 1: under school fought over. That is my trendy little prize
Speaker 1: picks today. And going over to the bets. The bet
Speaker 1: I teased is Brandon fought strikeouts today. I looked at
Speaker 1: it thirty minutes ago, thirty twenty five minutes ago. It
Speaker 1: was five and a half plus one twenty five. Then
Speaker 1: the news came out, which, by the way, the White
Speaker 1: Sox with their current construction, we're riking out all bunch
Speaker 1: of rities, striking out a bunch. But then we got
Speaker 1: word not only is Louise Robert out, but Tim Anderson
Speaker 1: was sitting and I'm completely forgetting the other person. It
Speaker 1: was Andrew Vaughan, but there was another big bat sitting today.
Speaker 1: That number went from plus twenty one twenty five to
Speaker 1: minus one oh five on DraftKings. But I did find
Speaker 1: a book book that not only did I also have
Speaker 1: a little extra boost that had it at plus one fifteen.
Speaker 1: That would be MGM. So I took that bet. I
Speaker 1: bet it. It is on the Betting pros app. Got
Speaker 1: the hat right here, download the Betting pros app if
Speaker 1: you want. We've had the leading off group all season long,
Speaker 1: two hundred plus people. We're tracking all the bets, and
Speaker 1: I put my bet in Brandon fought. That game starts
Speaker 1: in about an hour and a half. As we're recording this,
Speaker 1: Brandon Fott strikeouts five and a half over as well.
Speaker 1: I am going with the Detroit Tigers through the first
Speaker 1: five innings being up a run that's kind of a
Speaker 1: TERRK schooble play and Minnesota just straight run line minus
Speaker 1: one and a half, minus one twenty five, so up
Speaker 1: by two runs through the whole game, up against the A.
Speaker 1: So I kind of pared all my pieces together. Those
Speaker 1: are my bets. What about a DFS today.
Speaker 3: Well, my bets for the day. I'm going to have
Speaker 3: some fun with some RBI props. We're gonna have Nolan
Speaker 3: Jones at plus one fifty over half an RBI, Christopher
Speaker 3: Morell over half a RBL plus one seventy five, and
Speaker 3: Matt Olsen over half an RBI at plus one thirty five.
Speaker 2: I think those are fun plus money bets.
Speaker 1: I didn't even ask you your bets. I'm sorry, I
Speaker 1: was like, what's ons? For some reason, I thought you went,
Speaker 1: but I just transitioned in.
Speaker 3: But I did the RBI ones. I thought there was
Speaker 3: some interesting value there in the plus money world. So
Speaker 3: have some funnel some product that day DFS. Though it's
Speaker 3: a nine game slate, Pablo Lopez is expensive. He's eleven
Speaker 3: point four K begaus the Oakland Athletics probably worth it.
Speaker 3: And if you want some value, Dane Dunning at the
Speaker 3: Angels at seven point eight K, Wade Miley versus the
Speaker 3: Cardinals at seven point four k if Johano Vieto, somebody's
Speaker 3: put in the player pool. I like him as well
Speaker 3: as a discand of play. Pitching is not great on
Speaker 3: this slate, so slates like that, I usually punt pitching
Speaker 3: and pay for bats. Speaking of bats, Minnesota versus Estis
Speaker 3: of the a's of stack your twins, stack your doggs
Speaker 3: and Coors once again against Nate Davis. That's a great
Speaker 3: spot and stacked the Cubs were sterius buyings. He's making
Speaker 3: a spot start for the Braves. So those are all
Speaker 3: great spots, Brays, I have a hangover game ahead of them.
Speaker 3: And then if you want some value, Marco Luciano's playing
Speaker 3: every day and looks pretty good up there at to
Speaker 3: play two point nine cavers Waldron and then Tyron Taylor
Speaker 3: is a great value.
Speaker 2: Two point nine cavers to lefty Zach Thompson.
Speaker 1: All right, so the guests, Where in the world are
Speaker 1: Welsh and Corby and Carroll? There are some doozy guesses here?
Speaker 1: Uh the one that made me laugh the most, even
Speaker 1: talking about Marlago. What are we talking about here? We
Speaker 1: saw grand canyon in here. Well, let's set the stage
Speaker 1: for one fun i'ma have a little montage video, I think.
Speaker 1: But where in the world are Welsh and Corbin Carroll today?
Speaker 1: The guests is home. Lots of grand canyons in here.
Speaker 1: I get the guests circling back around. That makes a
Speaker 1: whole lot of sense. Milwaukee, that's not my home. I
Speaker 1: don't know where we're going here. Joey P's house by Sabo.
Speaker 2: That's a.
Speaker 1: That's a. These are very good guesses. Do you have
Speaker 1: a guest though, Bubba, it's a very ambiguous one.
Speaker 3: I'm saying, Oh, Corbyn Carroll from the Seattle area, were
Speaker 3: you giving tummy taps to George Kirby?
Speaker 1: Tummy tummy you play with Corby? Oh, that's the end
Speaker 1: of the season. Tummy taps, tummy WAPs, tummy WAPs or
Speaker 1: when you get hit from the stands not whatever you're thinking.
Speaker 1: What is wrong with you? No, you dirt bag. It's
Speaker 1: not that. It's not Seattle. There's not tummy wap taps,
Speaker 1: any of that stuff. Where is home, everybody, It's right
Speaker 1: here at Fantasy Pros. We're at the Fantasy Pro's main office.
Speaker 1: Look at us. We're so happy we got the logo
Speaker 1: back there where corporate headquarters of Fantasy Pros, where Fantasy
Speaker 1: Pros has been nice enough to have me all season long,
Speaker 1: Carol because of me, has been here all season long.
Speaker 1: And you guys, come on, guys, this is home, Tummy.
Speaker 2: That nobody got it. I might not be going home
Speaker 2: many time soon, so.
Speaker 1: You might not be back at the office. That might
Speaker 1: have been the last time you see the Fantasy Pro's
Speaker 1: home office was right there. Coming up on Friday, we
Speaker 1: will have the season finale of all of that. I
Speaker 1: gotta be honestly, I don't know how many track I've
Speaker 1: seen a couple of people that have gotten multiple I
Speaker 1: might spin wheel or something like that for giving away
Speaker 1: a card, which is just my little fun thing. So
Speaker 1: thank you guys for having fun. That's why the peanuts
Speaker 1: of Cracker Jacks. The audience of this show is the greatest.
Speaker 1: And check this.
Speaker 2: Out, Bubba.
Speaker 1: I have been setting the stage that this home run
Speaker 1: contest was gonna pretty much be over. It ain't over
Speaker 1: look at this at the top.
Speaker 2: We have a comeback.
Speaker 1: Don't call it a comeback. With five days left to go,
Speaker 1: jj Tator has moved within two home runs of Blue Harvester.
Speaker 1: The board is sixty for Harvester, fifty eight for JJ Tator.
Speaker 1: We now have six people on the fifty home run mark,
Speaker 1: which is insane. We've got Razor Ramone, who is five back.
Speaker 1: I don't want to say that Razor Ramon, Bobby Good
Speaker 1: and our Hoffman are out the kind of kind of out,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe they'll come back, but JJ Tator and
Speaker 1: Blue Harvester are gonna make this a race that is exciting.
Speaker 1: Wonkie has been awesome at forty nine. I think I
Speaker 1: just got my forty fifth with Marcus Simeon on Monday.
Speaker 1: But the race is a movin and it's going to
Speaker 1: be very, very good. So who are you going for
Speaker 1: your home run call today?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to coors Field. Give me Freddy Freeman
Speaker 3: in a phenomenal matchup. Seems too fun.
Speaker 1: I like how you say, I'm gonna go with cooors
Speaker 1: Field too, and I'm gonna go with MOOKI Mookie bets
Speaker 1: Mookie Bets for coors We're both going for the Dodgers
Speaker 1: because why not? Why would you not? For the next
Speaker 1: couple of days, coming up on Friday, the season finale
Speaker 1: of Fantasy Pros, the live broadcast that we do right
Speaker 1: here on the YouTube channel, and Joe Piece of Pia
Speaker 1: is confirmed. He is confirmed to pop in, so we
Speaker 1: will see Joe there for a little bit. We're gonna
Speaker 1: be doing some a Fantasy Ward season. We'll talk obviously,
Speaker 1: we'll give you some streamers at the very top and
Speaker 1: stuff for the weekend, but we'll also be talking about
Speaker 1: some of our favorite players from the fantasy aspect, probably
Speaker 1: at the top end. We'll get Joe to pop in here.
Speaker 1: We'll have a grand old time as we kind of
Speaker 1: end out the regular season, and we'll tell you what's
Speaker 1: in store for the off season. Hopefully I can be
