Speaker 1: McNasty, let's play ball. Welcome in everybody to fantasy Bros.
Speaker 1: This is leading Off, brought to you by Bet MGM,
Speaker 1: the King of sports folks. It's me Joey p Joe
Speaker 1: piece Appia with me is the Welsh, and of course
Speaker 1: it's you Jo. That's right, baby, Let's go. It's a
Speaker 1: baseball fun Friday. We got home run calls, we got
Speaker 1: a losing streak snapped by Shohei Otani single handedly grabbing
Speaker 1: the Angels by the haunches and willing them to victory
Speaker 1: last night, and a new leader in the American League. Say,
Speaker 1: young race, how you doing? Welsh? Welcome to the program, buddy.
Speaker 1: Look at all these pitching performances from last night.
Speaker 2: Look at all the did you say haunches?
Speaker 1: By the way, what a haunch word by the haunches.
Speaker 3: What an absolute word, A plus effort for the haunches.
Speaker 3: He has lots and lots of pitching performers and says, uh,
Speaker 3: point out my guy, Shane McClanahan, what did I say.
Speaker 3: I want to go back and do the math. I
Speaker 3: want to start it fresh. Or somebody in the Peanuts
Speaker 3: and Cracker Jacks wants to help me. I want to
Speaker 3: go back, and I want to track the Shane McClanahan
Speaker 3: caves to how many times.
Speaker 2: He's hit it and do the whole season to you know,
Speaker 2: work through my magic.
Speaker 3: Like I said, would how much money could you make
Speaker 3: from a profit standpoint of taking his case every single
Speaker 3: time the over as he smashed it again and continues
Speaker 3: to dominate. Love me some Shane McClanahan. But we don't
Speaker 3: have to talk only about him and those k props.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, we could certainly start there, because as
Speaker 1: of this morning, he's now gone ahead of Justin Verlander,
Speaker 1: which I think is still preposterous to tell you, it's
Speaker 1: a huge trap. I think it's the time. If you
Speaker 1: haven't bet Verlander, this is the time to go and
Speaker 1: bet Verlander. I'm telling you right now. Uh, that's that's
Speaker 1: what I would do. That is I look, I'm just telling.
Speaker 2: You what I would look like.
Speaker 1: I will pull them up right now, we're going to
Speaker 1: take a look at them. But I feel like, once again,
Speaker 1: you know you're talking about you're talking about every time
Speaker 1: somebody has a good performance, somebody leapfrogging somebody else. That's
Speaker 1: a very dangerous thing. So although mcclanahan's been great, and
Speaker 1: he has been. I think you know you're looking right
Speaker 1: now justin Verlander is still the consensus leader of plus
Speaker 1: four hundred. Clanahan's plus five hundred on FanDuel. That's changed
Speaker 1: on Fandel he's plus three sixty and Verlander's plus four
Speaker 1: to ten now, which I think is a foolish thing.
Speaker 1: They're really trapping us. But you haven't gotten into Verlander.
Speaker 1: Just watch this market. This is the time to do it,
Speaker 1: because again McLanahan has to be the guy who you know,
Speaker 1: carries over to the second half too. To really prove it.
Speaker 1: The Rays have to continue to be a good team.
Speaker 1: It's something Offensively, they have a lot of problems. So
Speaker 1: I'm not saying mcclanahan's not great. He was one of
Speaker 1: my favorite pitchers coming into the season. He's been awesome.
Speaker 1: But I think this little leap frog that he took
Speaker 1: on the FanDuel side at least, because if we look
Speaker 1: at the consensus line, it's Verlander still ahead, but in
Speaker 1: that one spot it's changed on Fandel, I think that
Speaker 1: was very interesting.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I don't The one thing I agree
Speaker 3: with you on, especially on this is like, this is
Speaker 3: not the time to bet Shane McClanahan, like, I think
Speaker 3: that's kind of passed, and I am interested in the
Speaker 3: values on these because there's a lot of volatility. There's
Speaker 3: a ton of volatility that could follow a guy like him.
Speaker 3: But you know what, listen, he is the case. This
Speaker 3: is I love this from qualified pictures. If you're just
Speaker 3: looking at overall K percentage, he is the leader. There's
Speaker 3: actually only a five pictures with a thirty percent K percentage. Again,
Speaker 3: of qualified big names, McClanahan is the leader. There is
Speaker 3: no bigger gap than between one and two, where there
Speaker 3: is almost a three percent gap. Shane McClanahan thirty five
Speaker 3: point five percent K percentage thirty two point seven for
Speaker 3: Dylan Cecar's number two. And of those top five, nobody
Speaker 3: has a lower walk percentage than Shane McClanahan at forty
Speaker 3: four point seven, and that gives him the number one
Speaker 3: qualified K minus walk percentage in the league by almost
Speaker 3: five points. Number two is twenty six percent, So you're
Speaker 3: minusing the walk percentage by K percentage of Corbyn Burns
Speaker 3: thirty point eight almost five for Shay McClanahan.
Speaker 2: That boy is good.
Speaker 1: That boy good, he good. That's mine now, no earned
Speaker 1: two hits nine k's for him last night. Other notable
Speaker 1: performances show Tany finally snapping the fourteen game losing streaks,
Speaker 1: so we don't have to talk about the what if
Speaker 1: they break the record kind of stuff. Garrett Cole making
Speaker 1: some history too. Gave up back to back to back
Speaker 1: home runs yesterday. Five home runs and a no decision,
Speaker 1: So a wacky start for Garrett Cole yesterday.
Speaker 2: Can I interject for one second please?
Speaker 3: I did put out one of the reasons the Peanuts
Speaker 3: and cracker Jack should be following me on Twitter at
Speaker 3: is that the Welsh was After the show, I decided
Speaker 3: we needed to take that poll of the songs to
Speaker 3: the streets. We need to take it to the streets,
Speaker 3: and I tweeted out and actually there's still a little
Speaker 3: not that it matters at this point. Time to vote,
Speaker 3: I said, the debate, what should we do? I say
Speaker 3: cartoons songs, Joseph's Taylor Swift songs, and sixty two point
Speaker 3: five percent of people said go with the cartoon TV
Speaker 3: show song.
Speaker 1: So just want to say a bunch of nerdy guys
Speaker 1: want to go with the with the songs from their
Speaker 1: childhood of cartoons. And not the pretty girl. They're just
Speaker 1: intimidated by the thought of walking up to a Taylor
Speaker 1: Swift song. So come on, I mean, I mean, like
Speaker 1: I said.
Speaker 2: It couldn't even one more the focus You couldn't. I
Speaker 2: don't think I could. I think I would recognize them. Oh,
Speaker 2: this is what I could do. I could be like
Speaker 2: a I know that one. I heard that one. That's
Speaker 2: the best I could do with this. I don't think
Speaker 2: off the top of my head, there's not one song
Speaker 2: that comes to mind of Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1: She's prolific, that's all.
Speaker 2: Singing all right, sing it well?
Speaker 1: I mean, so what you want to did you shake
Speaker 1: it off? You want to do playing? Oh?
Speaker 2: Shake it off? Okay, shake it off. I should have
Speaker 2: known that.
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, come on, baby, let's go. And
Speaker 1: I see Chris has now entered our producer because he
Speaker 1: didn't put the home run board in. I talked to Ethan.
Speaker 1: I already put it in there because I and see it.
Speaker 1: So I got you, Chris. You can go back, you know,
Speaker 1: go back to your nap or Chris.
Speaker 2: What is Chris think TV shows or Taylor Swift?
Speaker 1: Knowing Chris, I think he's going Taylor swift.
Speaker 2: You can put it in the private chat if you want.
Speaker 1: Chris Bobby Wit steals two bases Thursday on the O's.
Speaker 1: Joey gallohomers twice in that Yankee game. Again, that Yankee
Speaker 1: game was wild Byron Buxton had two dingers in that game.
Speaker 1: Trevor Larnick lunched a ball that hasn't landed yet. Clay
Speaker 1: Holmes did get his ninth save though, So a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff going on there. Some injury news to get
Speaker 1: to as well. We'll get to that in a second
Speaker 1: before we do. Jose Ramirez also up to fifteen on
Speaker 1: the board as well. Steven Strasburg, well, he's back and
Speaker 1: he gave up seven runs in his season debut. What
Speaker 1: are your takeaways from the first start for Steven Strasbourg, who,
Speaker 1: in all fairness, has not pitch at the big league
Speaker 1: level in a while. He might feel healthy, but he
Speaker 1: certainly doesn't look like Steven Strasburg, at least not yesterday.
Speaker 2: Well, at least my bets were in about his performance.
Speaker 2: It was just about him pitching. My thoughts he pitched,
Speaker 2: he didn't get hurt immediately.
Speaker 1: Those are Wow, that is a low bar.
Speaker 2: That is a very little good things.
Speaker 3: By the way that man Byron buckson, I'm starting to
Speaker 3: get hot. Don't let that man get hot. Don't don't
Speaker 3: let that man get hot, and let me change the
Speaker 3: vibe of this show for a couple of weeks.
Speaker 2: Just don't let it happen, all right.
Speaker 1: So Nelson Cruise was scratch from the lineup with back tightness.
Speaker 1: Tyler Stevenson goes on the aisle with a thumb so
Speaker 1: again hurt at the beginning of the air, hurt again.
Speaker 1: Mike Trout though, is hoping to return today, so keep
Speaker 1: an eye on that in your daily lineup, leagues. And
Speaker 1: then Garrett Whitlock is deal with a hip issue, so
Speaker 1: that's not great. So that explains a little bit maybe
Speaker 1: of the drop off recently. Chris Saiale, though, for Boston,
Speaker 1: returning to a reliever initially is a possibility. So there
Speaker 1: you have it. So Chris saale perhaps just trying to
Speaker 1: get back and help the team. And look, the Red
Speaker 1: Sox have turned things around in the last month after
Speaker 1: a terrible April. They've certainly, you know, kind of found
Speaker 1: themselves pulled themselves up by their haunches. If you a
Speaker 1: lot of haunt you know.
Speaker 2: You know, I'd be interested in. I wonder if the
Speaker 2: team would go how they use him.
Speaker 3: Would they use him back in that opener role like
Speaker 3: they've done in the past, or do you do what
Speaker 3: Joey wants for to Grom and do you go put
Speaker 3: him in a closing spot. I mean Chris Sale over
Speaker 3: one inning or two. That's an interesting thing. You can
Speaker 3: almost use him like Hater a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3: You could have him be the fireman for Boston. He's
Speaker 3: the guy that closes out games instead of flipping him
Speaker 3: and doing the opener.
Speaker 2: I think that would be so much more value. If
Speaker 2: you're gonna relieve Chris Sale praising, if you're gonna.
Speaker 3: Do that, put him in that role where he can
Speaker 3: be a fireman and shut out these games when your
Speaker 3: bullpen's a little suckers.
Speaker 2: Don't open him up on games. We don't need that.
Speaker 1: That closer thing has been a problem. What I think
Speaker 1: they might do personally is I think they might piggyback
Speaker 1: him and Whitlock together and then eventually make that turn
Speaker 1: to Whitlock going back into the closer role and Sale
Speaker 1: taking over in the rotation. Because I don't think you're
Speaker 1: paying I think you're paying sale too much right now
Speaker 1: to close games and you're still kind of from behind.
Speaker 1: Whereas with the met situation, when I said with the
Speaker 1: grom before, you know, a couple of months ago, that
Speaker 1: thought process with I'm hey, look, you've got a bunch
Speaker 1: of starting pitchers already, You're already in the first place,
Speaker 1: You're already, you know, the best team in baseball deep
Speaker 1: in terms of like both sides of the ball and
Speaker 1: everything you can do. Uh, it'll at least in that conversation,
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of where that thought process goes.
Speaker 1: But like, look, if the sale became a closer to that,
Speaker 1: wouldn't shock me. At this point, nothing shocks me. It's
Speaker 1: healthy and contributing.
Speaker 2: I really like the idea I'm in.
Speaker 3: I'm into like the piggybacking if you've got a lot
Speaker 3: of depth, like what the Padres were going to do,
Speaker 3: and it looks a little silly now, but they were
Speaker 3: going to do that with Clevenger and Gore. And at
Speaker 3: this point you got to find a way to make
Speaker 3: them all work, even if you go to six or
Speaker 3: you maintain a six. But I disagree that Sale makes
Speaker 3: too much money close out games. I mean, they've lost
Speaker 3: games by Matt Barnes being crapped. True this year, they've
Speaker 3: like that is a huge need that there's a if
Speaker 3: you here's my point though, if you are not going
Speaker 3: to commit to Chris Sales starting games, are you really
Speaker 3: better piggyback him two or three innings with Garrett Whitlock
Speaker 3: or you better just saying Chris Sale is going to
Speaker 3: be our dominant close out when we get there, and
Speaker 3: we can take him to maybe three innings to finish
Speaker 3: out the back half of games. I like that idea
Speaker 3: for them, and then maybe they can put focus on
Speaker 3: a trade of just getting one more starter to come in.
Speaker 3: He could be hater like here, I mean the amount
Speaker 3: of bullpen change that could happen over major League Baseball.
Speaker 3: I mean, like, you know, Clay Holmes is dominating. I
Speaker 3: think that guy, if he sticks in that role without Chapman,
Speaker 3: could be a top five closer. Chris Sale could do
Speaker 3: that same thing, and you could do it a couple
Speaker 3: times a week. I kind of I'm super into that,
Speaker 3: definitely over the stupid opener thing.
Speaker 2: I don't want that for him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want to do the opener thing.
Speaker 2: It's valueless.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I mean it depends on Also, if Chris Sale,
Speaker 1: you know, well, you're a closer, you might pitch a
Speaker 1: few days in a row. I don't know if that's
Speaker 1: the relief role they want him in, Like if it's
Speaker 1: a scheduled relief role when you know he's going to
Speaker 1: be pitching three innings because he's building up stamina. Okay,
Speaker 1: I understand that you'd rather him do that every fifth
Speaker 1: day at the big league level and give you big
Speaker 1: league innings as supposed to giving you triple A innings
Speaker 1: and rehab starts. That I understand. I feel like that's
Speaker 1: what they're saying. But maybe they should open themselves up
Speaker 1: to other opportunities. With Pavetta's pitch very well recently, if
Speaker 1: all these been pretty good, I mean, you can make
Speaker 1: that case. But personally, I think they're going to go
Speaker 1: put him back in the starter role. So but the
Speaker 1: nice thing is if if he gets enough I don't know,
Speaker 1: depending on your league, in the way it's all functioning,
Speaker 1: if somehow he ends up qualifying it relief pitcher because
Speaker 1: he gets enough appearances there, like if they if they
Speaker 1: kind of extend this over a month, I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: that's kind of interesting all.
Speaker 3: Of a sudden, and then he starts Yeah, then he
Speaker 3: would be one of those cheat code guys. Like imagine
Speaker 3: all these points, leagues and stuff with Louis Severino and
Speaker 3: Michael Kopek at the RP spot we talked about in
Speaker 3: the draft season. Those are the two biggest cheat codes
Speaker 3: instead of having closers, and you could be rocking both
Speaker 3: those guys and.
Speaker 2: You could throw sale into that mix. That'd be nice. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I dig it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And of course all of that news came from
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Pro's news desk, which Mike Mayer wants us
Speaker 1: to obviously plug.
Speaker 3: Write down that RL everybody, we have a clickable one
Speaker 3: in there. That's not well, I guess we're got to
Speaker 3: copy and paste it.
Speaker 1: It's alright, all right. Before we move on to a
Speaker 1: lot of the heroes of the night, the hero of
Speaker 1: the grill is obviously Omaha Steaks, and you need to
Speaker 1: go get the Dad's Want Steaks package. You don't have
Speaker 1: that much time left to order it before Father's Day,

Speaker 1: age for the ultimate tenderness, juiciness and flavor, just like Welsh.
Speaker 3: You know, I would tell tell you not so a
Speaker 3: naturally I would tell you also, think of it like this. Mentally,
Speaker 3: you could have a family reunion and feed your entire
Speaker 3: family reunion with this box for the price of filling
Speaker 3: up your gas tank.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 2: That is the thing.
Speaker 3: I have a truck that horrifically maybe bad idea. I
Speaker 3: filled my tank up the other day, first time in
Speaker 3: quite a bit over one hundred dollars, and I was like, okay,
Speaker 3: what are we doing here? For less than filling up
Speaker 3: my tank, you can get an entire box of meat,
Speaker 3: all of meat in the world. You can have set
Speaker 3: you up for like a month, or you could have
Speaker 3: a tank of gas.
Speaker 1: Wonky Penguin suggest that, like I put the crown off
Speaker 1: for BETMGM, I should like slap myself with a with
Speaker 1: a t bone or something in order to do I
Speaker 1: wish we were in the.
Speaker 2: Same studio and I could sign up for that doing it.
Speaker 1: You would not be the first. All right, let's talk
Speaker 1: about some other of the awards too. I want to
Speaker 1: talk about this because this is a good point in
Speaker 1: the year to start discussing this. I have already officially
Speaker 1: cash out of any other thing that I had. I
Speaker 1: only had I think Bobby Witt, and I had a
Speaker 1: little small piece of Joe Ryan for American League Rookie
Speaker 1: of the Year. It's all on Julio. Julio's gonna be
Speaker 1: a minus number this time. Next week it's plus one
Speaker 1: sixty five consensus. Fox bet still has it at plus
Speaker 1: two twenty five. Betmgm's going to plus one forty. So
Speaker 1: go ahead and find the best one you can. But
Speaker 1: Julio is my guy. I made a hefty investment Julio.
Speaker 1: I'm a little side piece investment after the rocky April
Speaker 1: just in case I've already gotten out of those reinvested
Speaker 1: them into Julio, even though it's late in the game,
Speaker 1: because I do believe wells this race is going away.
Speaker 2: Do you agree, I'm not well No, I don't necessarily agree.
Speaker 2: I do agree. It is Julio right now. It is Julio.
Speaker 2: I mean, and we know what's so funny.
Speaker 3: It's like, remember what we were doing the whole bold predictions,
Speaker 3: and the one I had was for Bobby Witt, and
Speaker 3: it would be he would running away with it, and
Speaker 3: it happens to be Julio. You know, fifty to fifty
Speaker 3: chants on those the only thing I would throw out
Speaker 3: to you. I agree with Julia, that's a smart money bet.
Speaker 3: But I might for just a couple bucks on Bobby
Speaker 3: Witt at this point, just stole a couple more bases.
Speaker 3: He's got ten stolen bases, seven homers on the earth.
Speaker 3: The average isn't there. It is a garbage team.
Speaker 2: Mariners aren't doing nice spells much better, but it's like
Speaker 2: nine hundred.
Speaker 1: Well they're both garbage teams. But the difference is Julio
Speaker 1: has highlight reels. He is I completely the difference, and
Speaker 1: I think that's what's capturing. And Bobby Wood's a great
Speaker 1: base but Julio has a certain flair. He's got that weird,
Speaker 1: that yasie o puigue factor, that fun to watch factor,
Speaker 1: you know, like he is sometimes people are just entertaining
Speaker 1: when they play BASEBALLO.
Speaker 2: He's absolutely electric. I'm just saying that matters.
Speaker 3: You've got a rookie on June tenth, who is projecting
Speaker 3: to be a twenty twenty five guy still, and it's not.
Speaker 2: Just Julio Rodriguez.
Speaker 3: My only point is is if I, let's just say
Speaker 3: I had one hundred bucks and I was going to
Speaker 3: dedicate it all to Rookie of the Year, betting seventy
Speaker 3: five of it, I would want to.
Speaker 2: Put on Julio Rodriguez.
Speaker 3: But I'm about twenty five of that on Bobby Wit
Speaker 3: at nine to one right now, just in case the
Speaker 3: second half starts going.
Speaker 2: Bobby Witt is that type of guy for sure. Julio
Speaker 2: Rodriguez is.
Speaker 3: Showing us exactly who he should be, and you know
Speaker 3: the weird calls earlier in the season, That's how I
Speaker 3: would approach us. There's nobody else I would go with.
Speaker 3: Julio's a smart bet. That's the primary money, and you
Speaker 3: know what, you might be right that it gets to
Speaker 3: it gets to minus money here soon. But Bobby WIT's
Speaker 3: just a little too enticing for me.
Speaker 1: In that race National League MVP, it's still Mookie Bets
Speaker 1: at plus two ninety and the consensus on betting pros
Speaker 1: Manny Machado's at plus four to twenty, so is Paul
Speaker 1: Goldschmid Harper is at nine to fifty range still Pete
Speaker 1: Alonzo's twelve to one in some spots. Other places have
Speaker 1: dropped him down to eight fifty, which I see, so
Speaker 1: there's a big variance there. I still feel like Alonzo
Speaker 1: and a Kune are lurking in this race and Mookie bets.
Speaker 1: Just again, I haven't made a big investment on Nation
Speaker 1: League MVP yet. I cash out of Harper because once
Speaker 1: once the manager gets fired, it's real tough to then
Speaker 1: think that, Okay, this team is going to be really
Speaker 1: good the rest of the year. It rarely happens. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I would think with Otani, now that's worried
Speaker 1: me too. In the American League, to be ones, if.
Speaker 3: You had the ability to cash out, it's smart because
Speaker 3: you could get back in in theory like a better price.
Speaker 3: I would not discount Harper, you know, Goldie is the
Speaker 3: one I would feel a little bit better about.
Speaker 2: I mean, he is on the sole reasons.
Speaker 1: Well, there's a narrative building and I just set up
Speaker 1: a big segment on the TV show on the Sports Grid.
Speaker 1: So on Sports Grid every Sunday, I do a two
Speaker 1: hour show with Matt Struck. We do a Baseball Show,
Speaker 1: and we do a segment called you know where we
Speaker 1: watched in between the Lines where we start to look
Speaker 1: at these movements, and I'm telling you right now, there's
Speaker 1: there's every reasonablelieve that the Cardinals can overtake the Brewers
Speaker 1: and run away with this division, and they is gonna
Speaker 1: be the m v P.
Speaker 3: Yes, I agree, that's that's the if I were playing
Speaker 3: in that one, I particularly don't love this area, but
Speaker 3: that would be the that would be the spot. The
Speaker 3: al one though Joe the a l one is has
Speaker 3: all the juicy odds in your world, I still.
Speaker 1: Made money on the Otani investment. And when Joe Madden
Speaker 1: got fired, I've wiped my hands of the Otani investment
Speaker 1: right now. As oft you you said there, you said
Speaker 1: it's but I made money on it. I made I
Speaker 1: made Look but I it was a fool spat until
Speaker 1: the manager gets fired. And look, this was a great
Speaker 1: performance by Otani. He's still hovering. But here's my thought process.
Speaker 1: You're ready for this. So I already made money on that,
Speaker 1: cashed out of it. So I took the profits of that,
Speaker 1: put it into Aaron Judge, and I'm I'm gonna wait
Speaker 1: to see if the Otani number moves now, which is
Speaker 1: starting to to maybe four five, maybe it goes even further.
Speaker 1: And if that guy really comes on all of a
Speaker 1: sudden in the second half, you can put a ten
Speaker 1: spot on Otani all of a sudden. If he's six
Speaker 1: to one, you're gonna make sixty bucks on that. That's
Speaker 1: a pretty easy self for me.
Speaker 3: I think the one on DraftKings, but he's almost four
Speaker 3: to one. He's at plus three seventy five on bet
Speaker 3: MGM the best odds.
Speaker 1: The negative trend is going. So here's what you want
Speaker 1: to do. And this is this is again, this is
Speaker 1: the finer points of betting on baseball in the futures market.
Speaker 1: So so bear with me, everybody. So right now you're
Speaker 1: going a week from now, if Aaron Judge has another
Speaker 1: huge mansrous week, he's gonna be minus money. This is
Speaker 1: the last time to get Aaron Judge in positive money.
Speaker 1: So I took my Otani profits, moved them into Aaron
Speaker 1: Judge invested there while it's still plus money. I think
Speaker 1: I got it at two and a half to one somewhere,
Speaker 1: and then after that when that goes minus, then that's gone.
Speaker 1: I'm not betting on it again. But Otani becomes a
Speaker 1: more interesting wager because all of a sudden the beginning
Speaker 1: of the year he was two and a half to one,
Speaker 1: three to one. Now he might be four or five
Speaker 1: or six. That's the time we can really get in.
Speaker 1: Otani make a lot of money there for a very
Speaker 1: small investment. It's the way you work the market. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying Otani is done, but I'm saying, is it's
Speaker 1: time to take the money out of that if you
Speaker 1: can put it in judge while it's still plus and
Speaker 1: then turn around and then back yourself up again. This
Speaker 1: is This is called investment, and this is this is
Speaker 1: the way I bet the futures market. It's the way
Speaker 1: I mean last year in the show I talked quite
Speaker 1: a bit about it with Bryce Harper, with with Otani,
Speaker 1: with some other guys too that you know we hit on.
Speaker 1: We didn't hit on, but most of them we did.
Speaker 1: But this is the way to do it. It's a
Speaker 1: it's a living, breathing animal, and if you do it right,
Speaker 1: you can make money on it and continue to reinvest
Speaker 1: the profits.
Speaker 3: But it is also very specific though, because you can't
Speaker 3: do this on any other side. This is a you
Speaker 3: bet with fan duel and investment. But I think there's
Speaker 3: a lot of people out there.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's the only one you can cash
Speaker 1: out on.
Speaker 2: Well, okay, and Draft Kings. DraftKings has not.
Speaker 1: Off I know Draft Kings doesn't let you do well.
Speaker 1: They do.
Speaker 3: They have a they'll have a cash out of it,
Speaker 3: but they have not offered me anything on any of
Speaker 3: my bets currently. FANDL has like a like you said,
Speaker 3: it's a living, breathing, daily money that you can play
Speaker 3: with it.
Speaker 2: So it is very specific.
Speaker 3: I think outside of that, take that away for a second.
Speaker 3: Let's assume you're on the Leader Bet MGM. You just
Speaker 3: use the promo code leading off, you just signed up,
Speaker 3: you're ready to make that Futures bet is Judge your
Speaker 3: bet where you're gonna put your money. You have one
Speaker 3: hundred dollars, show you have one hundred dollars and you're gonna.
Speaker 1: Do it on sure five one hundred dollars I judge.
Speaker 3: Or do you do seventy five on Judge, twenty five
Speaker 3: on Otani at those odds.
Speaker 1: If I've just got one hundred for MVP, it's seventy
Speaker 1: five on Judge and I'm gonna wait for that twenty
Speaker 1: five on Otani to when it gets even high as
Speaker 1: high as I can get it, and then I'll put
Speaker 1: the twenty five in there and hedge a little bit
Speaker 1: because I'm telling you right now, the judge money is
Speaker 1: going to be minus before we know it. And I
Speaker 1: think that's the difference. So, uh, this is this is
Speaker 1: a good conversation. You know, people get really you know,
Speaker 1: they get intimidated by the betting market and all this stuff,
Speaker 1: but you shouldn't be. There's ways to do it that
Speaker 1: are very logical and sensible. And again, it's like almost
Speaker 1: like playing a game. It's not like what's starting.
Speaker 2: So much literally it is it is.
Speaker 3: It's literally the concept where people will do. I mean,
Speaker 3: it's like day trade. I mean again, I'm not one
Speaker 3: hundred percent sure. Someone said, Kevin said, the bet MGM
Speaker 3: let you cash out. They'll all let you cash out.
Speaker 3: I just don't know if BETMGM works like FanDuel, because
Speaker 3: I know DraftKings does not in that every day they'll
Speaker 3: offer new money. And how FanDuel does it is very
Speaker 3: much almost like a day trading aspect.
Speaker 2: You could treat it.
Speaker 1: It is a very day trading aspect, which is true.
Speaker 1: And if BETMGM, you know, should do that for sure,
Speaker 1: because it is a great way. And this is what
Speaker 1: I do with the NFL market too, and I've made
Speaker 1: money doing that, and hopefully everybody hangs out with us
Speaker 1: and continues to do this. But let's get a little
Speaker 1: bit more, a little bit more historical for a moment.
Speaker 1: In nineteen eighty one, Philly's first basement. Pete Rose singles
Speaker 1: off Nolan Ryan Today in baseball and in the first
Speaker 1: and any tie, stam usual for the NLS all time
Speaker 1: hit leader with thirty six hundred and thirty. And this show,
Speaker 1: we just spent ten minutes talking about betting, and it's
Speaker 1: sponsored by a betting house. I just thought that was fun.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to bring that up. That's it. That's
Speaker 1: all I'm gonna say about it. Trivia time. Who was
Speaker 1: the first player to win the Cy Young Award in
Speaker 1: consecutive seasons? A little interesting there, who was the first
Speaker 1: player to win the Cy Young Award in consecutive seasons?
Speaker 1: If you think you know the answer, drop it in
Speaker 1: the chat. The Peanuts and the cracker Jacks, there he goes.
Speaker 1: So I'm sure everyone's running to the wikipedias and the
Speaker 1: Google games and the means, how far back do we
Speaker 1: have to go? Certainly a pitcher, you know, certainly a
Speaker 1: pitcher in the Hall of Fame. Certainly a pitcher that
Speaker 1: well I had baseball cards of. So there you go,
Speaker 1: pleasure all right. Stat heroes Shane mccloahan obviously at the
Speaker 1: top of that list. Yesterday nine k's over eight scoreless sittings.
Speaker 1: Miles Michelis continues to be fantastic. Nine case for him,
Speaker 1: over eight otawi's six k's huge, huge start for the Angels.
Speaker 1: They are really good job by him. Tyler Molly's starting
Speaker 1: to pitch better to ten k's six innings, one earned.
Speaker 1: He could certainly help contending rotation in Max Freed eight
Speaker 1: k's six innings. Max Freed was that lock starter yesterday
Speaker 1: we talked about in the main slate Byron Buxton two
Speaker 1: for four with two bombs, same thing, Joey gallow two bombs.
Speaker 1: Christian Bettencourt did a home run, Max Munsey hit a
Speaker 1: home run. I think Tony Laruss is on the hot seat.
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you, well, he might be the next
Speaker 1: manager to go. All the old guys are getting ousted
Speaker 1: from baseball. We're gonna have robot managers, gonna be robot.
Speaker 3: Tony will get fired and just nothing will change about
Speaker 3: his day. His day will be exactly, probably Martini, It'll.
Speaker 2: All be the same.
Speaker 1: Let's hope he's got a designated driver for the cart
Speaker 1: Hey Zus Sanchez two for four with a home run,
Speaker 1: Gavin Luckx four for four, Bobby Witt we mentioned two steals,
Speaker 1: two for three, m J. Melendez went yard, Freddie Freeman
Speaker 1: three for five with three ribbies, and Aaron Hicks two
Speaker 1: for five with a home run. The Zero's Steven Strasburg
Speaker 1: seven earned runs. I wonder how many people actually started him.
Speaker 1: I wonder if we have the the ratio of people
Speaker 1: actually started Steven Strasburg last night. I'm sure we have
Speaker 1: that on FAMUS.
Speaker 2: You know what CBS is, they have an element of that.
Speaker 1: They have lost their start.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can see your start.
Speaker 1: I bet it's I bet it's under fifty percent. It's
Speaker 1: gotta be under fifty. Garrett Cole seven earned runs yesterday
Speaker 1: in two and a third. It was dreadful. Dylan Bundy
Speaker 1: four earned runs, Jordan Lyles six earned runs, Tyler Anderson
Speaker 1: four earned runs not a good star for him and
Speaker 1: Luke Trevino four earned in a third of an inning,
Speaker 1: Dalton Varshow oh for four three k's, Mookie Bets oh
Speaker 1: for six with two bad night for Mookie. I like boom, oh,
Speaker 1: I like boom. I like go boom boom at the plate,
Speaker 1: Oh for five two k's in one seventy two in June, Bust,
Speaker 1: that's it calling it. I hate this place. My name
Speaker 1: is Alec with a C, and I hate this place.
Speaker 1: Bust Roman and Lariano oh for five, oh for four
Speaker 1: with two strikeout Club Raffie Devers, Matt Olsen, Jared Watsh,
Speaker 1: Mikes Drumsky, Big, Dan Vogelback and Tommy Edmond.
Speaker 2: I've got that number.
Speaker 1: fIF You have an answer.
Speaker 2: What's the night I do? What do you think it is?
Speaker 3: Take a guess of start percentage he is. I will
Speaker 3: tell you his roster percentage first on CBS, eighty two
Speaker 3: percent owned. So how rat how much percentage did he start?
Speaker 1: Forty three percent?
Speaker 3: Started him a lot smarter people, twenty six percent okay,
Speaker 3: started of eighty two percent rostered.
Speaker 2: So there you go.
Speaker 1: There you have it. The answer to the question was
Speaker 1: Steve Carlton, Steve Carlton.
Speaker 3: Nobody gets that. I don't think I saw that in
Speaker 3: the chat. I saw a lot of Sandy Kofex. I
Speaker 3: saw some Randy Johnson's I did not see that.
Speaker 2: So Joe winn. You let Joe win chat, Yeah, let
Speaker 2: me win. Good job.
Speaker 1: Let's look. Let the home run board there it is.
Speaker 1: We had a little movement because James James James moves
Speaker 1: up to nineteen thanks to a Josh Naylor home run.
Speaker 1: Mike Mayer is still on this board. I wish the
Speaker 1: four others who he's tied with were on it instead.
Speaker 1: Go Cards deserves a spot there for sure. Mike mayeror
Speaker 1: does not so and he knows I'm lurking in the shadows.
Speaker 1: That's that's that's the best part of this. After this weekend,
Speaker 1: hopefully we're gonna come back and see a whole different board.
Speaker 1: Speaking of, let's look at the betting board tonight. For
Speaker 1: bet MGM, the King of sportsbooks. Bet ten dollars win
Speaker 1: two hundred on any game, regardless of the outcome. Sign
Speaker 1: up today, download the bet MGM app or go to
Speaker 1: bedmgm dot com. Bet responsibly, but bet with the promo
Speaker 1: code leading off one word for you, make some money,
Speaker 1: have some fun. Today we've got Bryce Harper total bases
Speaker 1: one and a half on DK minus one ten is
Speaker 1: the Juice vlad is same thing one and a half
Speaker 1: at minus one oh five total basis Akunya one and
Speaker 1: a half on DK two minus one twenty and Aaron
Speaker 1: Judge minus one five. I don't love the prop market tonight,
Speaker 1: but Welsh you found one on Joe Musgrove that I
Speaker 1: think is a.
Speaker 2: Lot, just one, you know.
Speaker 3: I will tell you I had one earlier and they
Speaker 3: got me. They switched it on me Ruinze Contreris. Earlier
Speaker 3: was at three and a half strikeouts and that was
Speaker 3: something I wanted to play, and then they bumped it
Speaker 3: up to four and a half and I don't think
Speaker 3: I want to take that risk.
Speaker 2: So I'm out on him. But I'm gonna go with
Speaker 2: Joe Muskrove.
Speaker 3: His strikeout prop is at five and a half and
Speaker 3: he is hit that in five of his last six.
Speaker 3: You know, as far as like team context goes, it's
Speaker 3: not against a heavy heavy strikeout team, but I like Musgrove.
Speaker 3: I think it's one of the best ones on the board.
Speaker 3: Yesterday was better. I gotta tell you though, I also
Speaker 3: something I like to do, and I think it's riskier
Speaker 3: because the smartest play you can do in all this
Speaker 3: betting is just single bets.
Speaker 2: That's the best way to do it.
Speaker 3: But sometimes, you know, some of these are just so
Speaker 3: juiced you can't play it. I will say both of
Speaker 3: these are not juiced enough that I would play them solo,
Speaker 3: the Bryce Harper and Flat. I just love the idea
Speaker 3: of just popping those two together on a little two
Speaker 3: team total.
Speaker 2: Based partlad that you got here. I agree you'll probably
Speaker 2: get favorite ones.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think you get like probably almost three
Speaker 3: to one on your money on that, and I just
Speaker 3: like putting those two together, maybe put a little.
Speaker 2: Bet on there.
Speaker 3: And Musgrove is at this moment my only k prop
Speaker 3: because I told Joe before the show. I just want
Speaker 3: to point out the books do not want you to
Speaker 3: ever be able to properly bet Spencer Strider. They have
Speaker 3: not been putting Strider out there and his strikeout number.
Speaker 3: He wouldn't have hit it last time, by the way,
Speaker 3: because it's always gonna be above five, and today they
Speaker 3: put it at six and a half.
Speaker 2: And I just can't. I just can't do that with Strider.
Speaker 3: At this point, we don't know enough, but it's tempting
Speaker 3: and if I saw it drop a little bit, I
Speaker 3: would jump on it.
Speaker 2: But they don't want us to have Strider.
Speaker 1: Let's jump on the good foot and talk a little
Speaker 1: DFS here. I think sever Reel is gonna be super
Speaker 1: chalky tonight. So instead on DraftKings had to go in
Speaker 1: ten point three for him, go ten point five for Muskrove,
Speaker 1: and then pair him with Andy Ashby at eight point
Speaker 1: six or Louis Castillo at eight point five. In fact,
Speaker 1: I would do two separate lineups with that combination of pitchers.
Speaker 1: Castillo has been very good lately, and I don't think anyone.
Speaker 1: I think the ross percentage is gonna be very low
Speaker 1: on him because it's the reds end because of who
Speaker 1: he's facing. But I'm gonna tell you right now, I
Speaker 1: think that's exactly why it's the perfect tournament play tonight.
Speaker 1: So I would strongly advise that one Neil Polante is
Speaker 1: starting for the Cardinals, so people will see the Cardinals.
Speaker 1: They might not realize, oh, well, you know it's a
Speaker 1: young pictures. Listen to me, Ash Castillo or just you
Speaker 1: can even pair the two of them together in like
Speaker 1: a super tornament lineup where you pay up for bats.
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that as a third option, but I
Speaker 1: like getting the foundation of a musk grove. If you
Speaker 1: can make it work on the FanDuel side and the
Speaker 1: single picture site eight point seven for Castillo, eight point
Speaker 1: six for Ashby, interchange them in your tornament lineups and
Speaker 1: your cash play musco over at ten point nine. Keep
Speaker 1: it simple. I would fade away for severe. I think
Speaker 1: it's gonna be just very very chalky. Look the chalky
Speaker 1: Garrett Cole didn't work yesterday, so it scared me off
Speaker 1: a little bit. The game stacks tonight, the Yankees, the Braves,
Speaker 1: and the Boston Red Sox, especially the Red Sox against
Speaker 1: Marco Gonzalez, and then the lineup builders on on dk
Speaker 1: lukevoid A two point six, Tripor Larnick two point seven,
Speaker 1: Jack Zwinski everybody loves Jack Zonwinsky at two point two.
Speaker 1: Baby let's go, Mark Conna on Fandula two point seven,
Speaker 1: Larnik at two point five, and Adam Duval at two
Speaker 1: point eight. Welsh, where are you going for your home
Speaker 1: run call this weekend? Man?
Speaker 2: I am battling myself.
Speaker 3: You know what, I haven't done in quite a while,
Speaker 3: as we haven't had a Buckston weekend. And I'm very tempted.
Speaker 3: He's coming off of three homers in his last two games.
Speaker 3: He had a multi hitter. He's got his batting average,
Speaker 3: He's raised his batting average up from the beginning of
Speaker 3: the month almost thirty points. But I'm not going to
Speaker 3: commit to a Buckston weekend, even though I really feel
Speaker 3: like I should. I'm gonna go with a Laddie Junior weekend.
Speaker 3: Give me Laddie Junior throughout the weekend. I kind of
Speaker 3: like the Detroit matchup.
Speaker 2: So give me Vladi Junior and get me some homers.
Speaker 2: Give me on the board. Let's have a two or
Speaker 2: three home. Get me close to that board. I want
Speaker 2: to get on there.
Speaker 1: I want to go out of and judge this weekend
Speaker 1: again because look, he's going against the Cubs. He's in
Speaker 1: New York. Let's go.
Speaker 2: I almost went there, and then I saw you had him,
Speaker 2: and I was.
Speaker 1: Like, you can come with me for the ride. There
Speaker 1: is nothing wrong. We can hold hands and dance through
Speaker 1: the fields together. There's nothing wrong with that. Baby.
Speaker 2: Let's go in too. But I mean you and I
Speaker 2: both write I do too, I both want we both
Speaker 2: want to be right.
Speaker 3: But the one thing we failed to do is we
Speaker 3: didn't pick the greatest points League player, the greatest third
Speaker 3: baseman points League player that you can get in Yahoo,
Speaker 3: like Mike Mayer did. We didn't take Yo Hennel Swarez,
Speaker 3: which it looks like he's taking him for the weekend,
Speaker 3: not but Yo Hennel Suarez.
Speaker 1: Hey, hey, Mayor, you might be yawning now, but you
Speaker 1: know what, God could be yawning when I'm ahead of
Speaker 1: you on that board. And we come back on Monday. Baby,
Speaker 1: let's go on that note. That'll do it for us,
Speaker 1: But the story of the game goes on. We'll be
Speaker 1: back again, of course Monday, to do it all over
Speaker 1: Monday noon Eastern. Make sure you subscribe to the Fantasy
