Speaker 1: MVP race getting hot, Let's play ball. Welcome in everybody
Speaker 1: to Fantasy Probes. This is leading off, brought to you
Speaker 1: by bet MGM, the King of sports Books. It's b
Speaker 1: Joey p joe Pi's apa with me is the Welsh,
Speaker 1: and of course it's you, and it's a fun Friday.
Speaker 1: It's Friday the thirteenth, so things might get a little
Speaker 1: scary here today on the program Welsh. You never know
Speaker 1: how that might go.
Speaker 2: Are you are you stitious? Are you super Are you
Speaker 2: just a little stitious on thirteenth type things?
Speaker 1: No, not at all. Don't care anything about any of
Speaker 1: that stuff. Don't care. No, not interested, not interest at all.
Speaker 1: In fact, I am the opposite. I'm the person who's
Speaker 1: always like making people more paranoid about those kind of
Speaker 1: things because I like to make fun of superstitions and
Speaker 1: people like if life was that easy and things worked
Speaker 1: out where they were superstitions and things like that, we'd
Speaker 1: all be doing them and everyone's life would be great.
Speaker 1: It's like, I never understood why the people who call themselves,
Speaker 1: you know, clairvoyant, all of them, for some reason, aren't
Speaker 1: living in huge mansions and enormous places. They were like
Speaker 1: out on Staten Island and you know some kind of condo.
Speaker 1: I don't understand why that is.
Speaker 2: Or in Sidona where I just was. They're in Cidona
Speaker 2: in like a hut that's purple and its crystals. They
Speaker 2: sell crystals as well, by the.
Speaker 1: Way, Oh oh well, you know, well the crystals. That's
Speaker 1: different that that stuff works.
Speaker 2: Oh so you're a crystal guy. You're not stitious, but
Speaker 2: you're a crystal guy. Gotcha, kid, Everybody just make sure
Speaker 2: you know Joe noted crystal guy, not stitious.
Speaker 1: I kid, I kid, I kid. But anyway, we we
Speaker 1: just got a great show for you, as always say,
Speaker 1: we'll get to the headlines. Also, I just came fresh
Speaker 1: from my daughter's school, as you could still I still
Speaker 1: got the visitor patch here over there. Talking to the children,
Speaker 1: shaping young minds about careers and media. That's basically and
Speaker 1: using literacy, which is funny because we know.
Speaker 3: Doll talk good, you know talk what literacy did you do?
Speaker 1: Actually we talked about the books. We talked about the
Speaker 1: Black Book, We talked about transitioning the Black Book, how
Speaker 1: that became a radio job and eventually became television and
Speaker 1: other things like that, and you know, what I mean.
Speaker 2: I can envision this moment. We were standing up there
Speaker 2: and you're just like.
Speaker 3: All right, everybody, this is what our PV is.
Speaker 2: Let me, let me explain, let me break down. Like
Speaker 2: I could see you talking to the kids. There's like
Speaker 2: one kid that's jotting it down and everybody else is like,
Speaker 2: what's happening here?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no RPV talk. But it was it
Speaker 1: was fun. Shout out to my daughter's class too, and
Speaker 1: sick Grade. Good times there, and the kids had a
Speaker 1: good time. I made them do some reads though, some
Speaker 1: mad reads, and I showed Manscape. No, no Manscape reads.
Speaker 1: They're kids, so we did the serial read. That's what gotcha.
Speaker 1: You know what, good choice, Good choice on you for.
Speaker 2: Not doing Manscape.
Speaker 1: I like this one, doctor Glenn says. Joey p is
Speaker 1: the Mike Mayor of Superstitions. I like that.
Speaker 3: You know fun.
Speaker 2: If you would have done the bet MGM one, you
Speaker 2: could have put the crown on. You know, kids would
Speaker 2: have probably been excited about that. Again, probably good choice
Speaker 2: that you didn't with any of those, but I'm just
Speaker 2: putting it out there.
Speaker 3: All would be a great skit.
Speaker 2: By the way, this is like built out of a
Speaker 2: comedy skit of like going in and like kids are
Speaker 2: gonna practice some podcast aterids today, and it's like, all
Speaker 2: right over here, you guys got Lucy, you got the
Speaker 2: man skate it just it writes itself, Joe.
Speaker 1: It does. It does. Omaha steaks coming soon to the
Speaker 1: program into our houses, which is great. I can't believe
Speaker 1: they're wasting Omaha steaks on you either. What are you
Speaker 1: doing with them as a vegetarian and he's giving them
Speaker 1: away to somebody or what?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Which is something fun with them? Yeah, we'll do something fun.
Speaker 1: All right. I know I'm gonna eat him. That's the
Speaker 1: fun thing I'm gonna do. Let's get to the headlines,
Speaker 1: and well, I'm a little depressed because I told you
Speaker 1: yesterday I had the Bryce Harper thing all laid out.
Speaker 1: I was like, he's going against a lefty. These odds
Speaker 1: are amazing. Let's parlay to thegether together. And I was like,
Speaker 1: but then I look at his numbers against lefties, even
Speaker 1: sit it on the show, and I said, look, if
Speaker 1: you want to have fun, play it, but I'm not
Speaker 1: going to officially sanction it. I had it up on DraftKings.
Speaker 1: I wish I had made the investment. The problem is,
Speaker 1: right after the show, I read that other thing about
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper's got a tear and he's uca, yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, you know our guys alone, our fantasy the Fantasy
Speaker 2: pros and MLB account which Fantasyroposa got a whole bunch
Speaker 2: of great accounts to follow. They were a little a
Speaker 2: little loose with it because there was just a report.
Speaker 2: I hadn't even seen any of the Bryce Harper stuff.
Speaker 2: And then one of the blurb tweets that needed a
Speaker 2: little bit more detail, if we're being honest, was just
Speaker 2: like Bryce Harper UCL injury won't throw for four weeks.
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh my god, I'm like, wait, what,
Speaker 2: why is nobody talking about Bryce Harper? And I was like, oh, well,
Speaker 2: because he's going to DH for that time. But I
Speaker 2: had had a little mini panic attack with that little blurb.
Speaker 2: But thank god he was out there and justified why
Speaker 2: you would probably move away from Bryce Harper in nonset
Speaker 2: just to see how he reacts and into the story.
Speaker 2: Spoiler alert, he reacted pretty well.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, like I said, I hope somebody out there
Speaker 1: played it. If you did, hit me up on Twitter
Speaker 1: and show me a screenshot and let me know how
Speaker 1: much money you made or that I made you that
Speaker 1: I did not partake in, because that's the worst. Now,
Speaker 1: the only thing that made me feel better is that
Speaker 1: Jordan Alva has hit not one, but two home runs yesterday.
Speaker 1: Let's go, baby, how about that? That was my two?
Speaker 1: I'm up to five? Now?
Speaker 3: Did you up with me?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 2: That sucked?
Speaker 1: Sorry, we're I think Mayor has five too, if memory
Speaker 1: he's got five or seven or something like that. I
Speaker 1: don't know, Mayor, how many home runs do you have?
Speaker 1: But that's the only thing that made yesterday palatable. Joe
Speaker 1: carl Stanton homer twice in the Yankees victory. Aaron Judge
Speaker 1: at a ball that hasn't left yet. He's got eleven
Speaker 1: home runs, leads a league. Dylan c strikes out eleven
Speaker 1: in a no decision. Hiras Stevenson has three hits and
Speaker 1: a homer versus the Pirates. But again, Jordan Alvarez with
Speaker 1: the two dangers. That's all I want to talk about.
Speaker 1: Injuries Jeremy Pania with the knee, unlikely to play on
Speaker 1: Friday against the Nats Philadelphia. Tests reveal again that Bryce
Speaker 1: Harper small ucl tear So here's the thing with the
Speaker 1: Harper stuff. I mean, he's going clearly, he's hitting fine,
Speaker 1: so it's not bothering him. So I'm not concerned about this.
Speaker 1: Are you concerned about this at all? This injury because
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like it's going to affect him fantasy wise.
Speaker 3: I mean of anything.
Speaker 2: There's such a huge win for the DH crowd out
Speaker 2: here because like, imagine if this injury had gone on
Speaker 2: with the DH not in place, you know, we would
Speaker 2: be losing one of the superstars in baseball for over
Speaker 2: a month, and is giving an opportunity for it. So
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, we got the reaction, we
Speaker 2: saw how he would It looked phenomenal. It looked as
Speaker 2: good as he usually does. Crushed bomb.
Speaker 3: Think he'll be all right.
Speaker 2: It will be interesting to see how he reacts, like
Speaker 2: full fledge from not being on the field, from that
Speaker 2: competitive nature. I'd also like to know if he's gonna run.
Speaker 1: So I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe like the itsy bitsy slightest, I might
Speaker 2: be worried, but he looked good. He's still gonna do
Speaker 2: his Brice Harper stuff.
Speaker 1: Hidden Homer's off lefties looks pretty good to me and yes, Mark,
Speaker 1: I see you. You can drop us another trivia question here,
Speaker 1: of course, their injuries here, Casey Mize struggled in his rehabs,
Speaker 1: start with triple A. Zach Wheeler comes off the COVID
Speaker 1: list and he's going to start against the Dodgers. Here's
Speaker 1: a question for you in the category of can we
Speaker 1: talk about this?
Speaker 3: Is this too soon?
Speaker 1: I saw this tweet yesterday Anthony Dicomo had a tweet,
Speaker 1: and then John Hayman had a quote tweet. So John
Speaker 1: Hayman on the quote tweet wagon here.
Speaker 2: So now it's really serious.
Speaker 1: So now it's really serious. In today's newsletter revisiting the
Speaker 1: Jared Kelenick three way trade a few years later, on
Speaker 1: the heels of Robin Consono's Canoe's release and Jared Kellennick's
Speaker 1: return to Flushing. Here is then the John Hayman retweet
Speaker 1: of this in the quote quote tweet, excuse me? Is
Speaker 1: John Hayman just says flat out Mets won the Kelenick
Speaker 1: cano Das trade. There I said it. Met's got a
Speaker 1: three point six war and a closer M's got a
Speaker 1: negative point two war and a one seventy three hitting
Speaker 1: young outfielder. Don't at me, boy, John Hayman soul what
Speaker 1: it is?
Speaker 3: This?
Speaker 2: This is like the this is the most like millennial
Speaker 2: like there I said, it's got all thes in it, like,
Speaker 2: don't at me there, I said it like all right.
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 2: John Hayman's daughter who wrote this clearly put it together
Speaker 2: for him. I don't know, Like it's fine. It still
Speaker 2: is a weird trade, I think in general.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think you can. I think you can.
Speaker 2: You don't need to put canoe in there, by the way,
Speaker 2: suspensions alone, but you could just put exactly Edwin Diaz
Speaker 2: alone in there and go, well, you know, this guy's
Speaker 2: been shutting down games for this team. This is exactly
Speaker 2: what they needed. They won, all right, that's fine.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I just think it is too early.
Speaker 2: Kelnick, I mean, kelic looks just atrocious right now. But
Speaker 2: I think you need like a year or two more
Speaker 2: to really be able to look back on it. But
Speaker 2: if you want to like be a victory lap, that's fine,
Speaker 2: But like what a what a dumb tweet?
Speaker 3: What a ridiculously stupid victory lap?
Speaker 2: When is hitting one seventy and you know, like under
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty games, and he's like, there I
Speaker 2: said it. Like everybody is sitting around the table being like, man,
Speaker 2: I wonder if anyone's ever gonna say the Mets won.
Speaker 3: And Hayman's like, I'll be your hero, Like.
Speaker 1: Shut up. I think I would say this. If the
Speaker 1: Mets win a World Series with Diaz, no matter what
Speaker 1: Kellenick does, the Mets will have won that trade. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean that's the standard of that. He's closing the
Speaker 1: winning game of the World Series for the New York
Speaker 1: Mets in twenty twenty two or next year. It doesn't
Speaker 1: matter what Jared Kelnick does for the next ten years.
Speaker 1: If he becomes a really good player, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: You want to know how hard it's gonna be for
Speaker 2: the Mariners to win this trade. If you're going to
Speaker 2: get into this space of winning the trade right now,
Speaker 2: it's gonna be impossible because Kelink's gonna have to be
Speaker 2: an All star. The Mets served a need, and it
Speaker 2: was for the back end of the bullpen and someone
Speaker 2: to close out games for heavily invested pitchers in Ja
Speaker 2: de Gram when he's there and Max Scherz er like
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, like that's what trades
Speaker 2: are all about. It actually reminds me of like fantasy
Speaker 2: trades and we're talking about where everyone's like, ah, I
Speaker 2: won that trade, and it's like, I don't know the
Speaker 2: winner is by I have the beholder in the need
Speaker 2: of what you have. Obviously, if you if you were
Speaker 2: the White Sox and you trade Fernando Tazi Stunior for
Speaker 2: James Shields, you look like big dummies. But other than that,
Speaker 2: like everyone needs the winners. The same thing has happened
Speaker 2: with the Diamondbacks, with the whole Zach Gallon and Jazz Chisholm.
Speaker 3: Who won.
Speaker 2: Oh, this is a fair trade.
Speaker 3: It's just like, okay, whatever.
Speaker 2: I don't think it requires big quote tweets and articles.
Speaker 2: It's fun maybe to go back, and I enjoy going
Speaker 2: back and looking at trade acquisitions and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: But like the quote tweet of Victory Lapping with all
Speaker 2: of the millennial trope sayings.
Speaker 3: Is I'm over that.
Speaker 2: I think that's pretty stupid.
Speaker 1: I think it's hilarious. That's why I pulled it for
Speaker 1: the show. I was like, this is hysterical. We got
Speaker 1: to quote tweet my professional journalists, no less on another
Speaker 1: professional journalist so bizarre. All right, MVP, wat there don't
Speaker 1: at me? God, the thirteenth of May. Make Trout has
Speaker 1: played out of his mind. Jose Ramirez, same Aaron Judge
Speaker 1: Lee in the league in home runs, Lad's been amazing,
Speaker 1: But none of them are pitching. So I'll put this
Speaker 1: to you. Welsh American League MVP on the thirteenth of
Speaker 1: May is two.
Speaker 2: At this moment. Oh man, I think it's true. You
Speaker 2: gotta say Trout, but.
Speaker 1: Boo, wrong answer.
Speaker 2: It's I mean, it's it's or Otani because he's been
Speaker 2: I mean, he's been pretty dang good pitching all year
Speaker 2: and he's been phenomenal hitting. It's one of those two,
Speaker 2: so I don't I don't necessarily disagree. But Trout has
Speaker 2: been absolutely incredible this year. I mean, he's healthy, he's
Speaker 2: putting up the Trout stats. But to the point, like
Speaker 2: in the preseason, it doesn't almost matter what anybody does
Speaker 2: at this point. When Trout or when Otani's out there
Speaker 2: pitching one hundred and fifty innings and striking out two hundred,
Speaker 2: as long as he hits at least two sixty with
Speaker 2: twenty homers, the guy's gonna win MVP. So yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: with you.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's still Otani. I hate to break
Speaker 1: it to everybody because Trout is picking up the ball
Speaker 1: of your fifth day to make some starts. Then no, like,
Speaker 1: I don't care whatever he's got. This is like last
Speaker 1: year too, when Vlad was gonna win the Triple Crown
Speaker 1: and people were talking about that, and I was like,
Speaker 1: he can win the Triple Crown. Doesn't matter if he's
Speaker 1: gonna make twenty five starts. It doesn't I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if you anybody who's hitting well and
Speaker 1: pitching better, even arguably right now, I mean it's crazy.
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm just looking on betting pros right now,
Speaker 1: Otani still has the best odds of anybody for any MVP.
Speaker 1: He is at plus two hundred over on Betting Pros
Speaker 1: bet MGM at plus ten, So you can still get
Speaker 1: two to one, and as long as you can still
Speaker 1: get before this goes minus again like last year, the
Speaker 1: more those starts go up, that minus is going to happen.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, once that threshold gets the fifteen twenty starts,
Speaker 1: forget it. It's gone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2: When you get into like June or probably like July
Speaker 2: and he's still striking out ten and like four innings
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. It's gonna be hard to it's
Speaker 2: gonna be hard to keep him off of that.
Speaker 1: It really all right, Let's let's do the National League, okay,
Speaker 1: Manny Machado certainly doing well carrying that Padres offense.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: One Aeronado Player of the Month of April, Juan Soto
Speaker 1: of course, the one one in my heart, and yours,
Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman, and then Jazz Chisholm. You could even throw
Speaker 1: in there. Jesshism has been excellent. The Nashal League MVP
Speaker 1: on May thirteenth is who Welsh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think I got a credit to you.
Speaker 2: I think you brought it up and you put on
Speaker 2: a couple of shows. I think you gotta say Machado
Speaker 2: right now. I think Eronado's in that mix as well.
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm missing a picture that you might
Speaker 2: throw into this mix. I think that NL is so
Speaker 2: wide open. I don't see I don't see any front runner.
Speaker 2: I think Machado has performed at that level you don't
Speaker 2: get into your credit. But I don't think he can
Speaker 2: win it. I don't think he will I think.
Speaker 1: You want to know with the could remember when I
Speaker 1: told you it was like twenty twenty to one?
Speaker 3: I remember one?
Speaker 2: Was it twenty to one?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you want to know what it is today?
Speaker 2: Let me guess. I bet it's eight to one plus
Speaker 2: three hundred wow? Really plus three hundred wow.
Speaker 1: So in a week's time it's gone from twelve to three.
Speaker 1: That's nuts. I mean that's insane. And I still am
Speaker 1: not sold on it being a good wager.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I get it on PK at plus six hundred, which
Speaker 1: at six hundred, Okay, you want to throw you know,
Speaker 1: twenty bucks on that. Okay, that's fine. I think that's
Speaker 1: that's a good investment.
Speaker 2: Ronald Acuna is back and he's got to get going.
Speaker 2: Soto is still in the league. Yeah, Pitching wise, I
Speaker 2: just don't know if there's anybody that's going to be
Speaker 2: I mean, I know somebody in the chet Mark said
Speaker 2: Corbyn Burns is in there, but like so David down
Speaker 2: there just said Ernado is an l MVP. What's so
Speaker 2: interesting is I think Eronado and Machado are performing at
Speaker 2: that level, but I think it would take so so
Speaker 2: much for either of them to actually win it.
Speaker 3: Like I don't know what else they can.
Speaker 2: They have to stay at this level all year long,
Speaker 2: maybe even a notch more to stave off any of
Speaker 2: these other guys that would come up. Specifically, Ronald Acunya
Speaker 2: I think is the guy in Juan Soto. Those two
Speaker 2: are the guys that are gonna just absolutely come come
Speaker 2: screaming for it. And then we're not even talking about
Speaker 2: any Dodgers that could have a run. You got Mookie,
Speaker 2: Trey Turner, and Freddie Freeman all on a team in
Speaker 2: the NL West. When the NLS is so tight right now,
Speaker 2: that opens up and those guys start going. I don't
Speaker 2: know if I were making a bet, I'd be making
Speaker 2: it in the AL. I wouldn't be making NL bet
Speaker 2: right now because unless I want to play the odds,
Speaker 2: like what is Sodo right now or Akunya.
Speaker 1: Soto right now? Well, Machado's three to one, No one.
Speaker 1: Aronatto one betting pros consensus line is plus five fifty,
Speaker 1: Sodo six fifty. Acunya is ten to one right now.
Speaker 1: Ten ten to one on Acunya is your best wager
Speaker 1: you can make right now. But it's funny. Bryce Harper
Speaker 1: is at plus fifteen hundred consensus right now. So there's
Speaker 1: sun spots where he's twenty to one, and if the
Speaker 1: Phillies rebound and.
Speaker 3: He's got the upl Harper, that's.
Speaker 1: He's and he's this warrior guy that soldiers through a
Speaker 1: torn ucl and carries this offense. I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: it could be another one for him.
Speaker 2: I made a preseason bet I think on Harper for
Speaker 2: MVY I too, and I think I need to hedge
Speaker 2: it at this point because fifteen to one is way
Speaker 2: better odds than I got.
Speaker 1: It has to be. Yeah, yeah, oh sure it was.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it opened somewhere around six or something for Harper,
Speaker 1: or nine would be my guess.
Speaker 3: All right, here you go here, Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Our trivia question for the day. Who is the
Speaker 1: only shortstop since nineteen ninety seven with two hundred hits
Speaker 1: in a season? The only short stop with more than
Speaker 1: two hundred hits in the season since nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 1: Go ahead, boys and girls, figure that out. Jimmy Robin
Speaker 1: in the chat here, it is not Jimmy Rawins. It's
Speaker 1: a good guess, though.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm not looking at the thing. I'm pulling up
Speaker 2: my my Harper bet here, it's not because if you
Speaker 2: go ninety seven, the tip here is that it's gotta
Speaker 2: be like it's got to be like closer to that range.
Speaker 2: It's got to be like ninety seven ninety nine. Oh,
Speaker 2: you know I didn't make that bet. Never mind, I
Speaker 2: thought I made that Harper bet. I was about to
Speaker 2: look at the odds.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. That's that's a good one.
Speaker 2: Jimmy Rollins was my guess in the chat here.
Speaker 1: Well, yes, so far in the chat up, somebody got
Speaker 1: it already. Mar no Man, no Ma gaci a para
Speaker 1: mark the king of trivia here.
Speaker 2: Wow, he is the trivia king.
Speaker 1: No Ma is the name. All right, let's get to
Speaker 1: the stat heroes. Yesterday, Taiwan Walker finally got to start
Speaker 1: against the team not called the Phillies. Uh. Seven innings
Speaker 1: of no run baseball, only one strikeout. That's I was noting, but.
Speaker 2: Not right about that K Marker. I mean I got
Speaker 2: seven innings out of Walker. Remember I liked that K Marker,
Speaker 2: But it's like three and a half. Uh, and he
Speaker 2: had only played the Phillies. I was right in that,
Speaker 2: you know, he was gonna find some success, but not
Speaker 2: right about the strikeouts good lord.
Speaker 1: Connor Overton, who I'm pretty sure is an extra from
Speaker 1: Downton Abbey. Six and the third, no earned runs for
Speaker 1: walks in the k Luis Garcia five innings, nine strikeouts
Speaker 1: for him, no earned runs and Steven mattz nice bounced
Speaker 1: backstart two seven k's, no walks for him, six and
Speaker 1: two thirds the hitters Stanton two dongs, your Alvarez two dongs.
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge great home run yesterday, two for four, Mark
Speaker 1: Conna one home run. He's cheap in DFS today. We'll
Speaker 1: get to him later. Marcanna also taking some ground balls
Speaker 1: at first base, so interesting note there. Tyler Stevenson three
Speaker 1: for four at home run, Bryce Harper with his home run,
Speaker 1: three ribbies against the left yesterday, Josh Donaldson two for
Speaker 1: five with a home run, and Will Smith slapped the
Speaker 1: hell out of somebody three for four, a double, three
Speaker 1: RBIs and walk. The stats zeros, though Tyler Anderson of
Speaker 1: the Dodgers not so good. Seven earned runs, ten hits
Speaker 1: against the Phillies. Dylan Cees. Now, he did strike out
Speaker 1: eleven guys we mentioned that at the top, but six
Speaker 1: earned runs, so it looked like just the start that
Speaker 1: was bound to happen because he'd been so dominant, he
Speaker 1: was bound to have one of these kind of bad
Speaker 1: nights out like that just happens to pitchers. I wouldn't freak,
Speaker 1: would you. No.
Speaker 2: I mean it's the Yankees, It's the powerful offense, like
Speaker 2: this can happen, This can happen with Hee's happened Logan
Speaker 2: Gilbert the other night as well. Logan Gilbert struck out
Speaker 2: I think like nine and gave up three or four
Speaker 2: runs in the first two innings. I mean, these guys
Speaker 2: are going to give up runs sometimes.
Speaker 3: He still look pretty good.
Speaker 2: And one of those key things is he didn't go
Speaker 2: crazy with walks, and he still struck out double digits
Speaker 2: while he was struggling. So that's a sign of a
Speaker 2: picture that can you know, carry you through the playoffs
Speaker 2: in your fantasy playoffs, because even when they're bad, they're
Speaker 2: still contributing well.
Speaker 1: Joe Kelly didn't contribute well, basically five earned runs and
Speaker 1: two thirds of an inning. Jose Alvarado four earned runs
Speaker 1: in a third of an inning. So he said, Joe Kelly,
Speaker 1: hold my beer, I'll do even worse. Your Bobby Witt
Speaker 1: home run pick did not come in yesterday, he said,
Speaker 1: over four.
Speaker 2: I was just throwing it out there. Yeah, no, it
Speaker 2: was stupid.
Speaker 1: That's all right, Okay, it's all right. We all have
Speaker 1: those moments where we're feeling strong.
Speaker 2: Happen cease moment.
Speaker 3: This is my cease moment.
Speaker 2: I'll be all right, I'll be right.
Speaker 1: Jose Bray you oh for five, two k's, Cassiana, same thing,
Speaker 1: Jose two of a five with the strikeout. Bur and
Speaker 1: Drury over five with a strikeout. Same for Hicks. Santander
Speaker 1: had two k's over four, and Tim Anderson oh for
Speaker 1: four with two k's as well. Uh so I am
Speaker 1: up to five in the home run board. I don't
Speaker 1: know where Mayor is today. Maybe he's getting some follow
Speaker 1: up dent to work. But I'm not sure how many
Speaker 1: home runs he's got. Walkey Penguin can probably tell me.
Speaker 1: But in the meantime, let's check that board. Now. I'm
Speaker 1: not up on this board yet, but Hell's coming with me.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you. All I do is Win has
Speaker 1: gone past the night King. Oh no, oh, my goodness,
Speaker 1: a little dragon glass for the night King here at twelve.
Speaker 1: All I do is Win is on a tear the bloom.
Speaker 1: No Debloom is up to twelve. JP's up to eleven.
Speaker 1: Florine Socks is at eleven, Larry C My Boys at
Speaker 1: eleven as well, So it's a good contest. I'm coming
Speaker 1: for that board, coming strong here, Welsh. Are you picking
Speaker 1: somebody in perpetuity for the weekend today?
Speaker 2: I am, oh, yeah, absolutely, yeah. I mean the Friday
Speaker 2: Show I think is always a pit perpetuity.
Speaker 1: I got that.
Speaker 2: There's the exact same thing on it tail yesterday where
Speaker 2: it was like, for some reason the inverse of regression
Speaker 2: could not process in my head. So a dumb uh,
Speaker 2: just been dumb. But yes, I do have a all
Speaker 2: weekend pick coming.
Speaker 1: Apparently Mike Mahyor is not available. According to Busy Rizigiza,
Speaker 1: Mayor is at the local playground screaming at children.
Speaker 2: Which did you just see him at the side of
Speaker 2: the street just scream I feel like he would be
Speaker 2: one of those guys that would be standing outside of
Speaker 2: his lawn like whiting for cars to drive just a
Speaker 2: little too fast down the neighborhood and just scream at
Speaker 2: them like that.
Speaker 1: Mike mahy is the kind of guy that protests kindergarten
Speaker 1: graduations totally. That whole notion. You've done nothing. What have
Speaker 1: you done? You've done nothing so far. This is not
Speaker 1: an accomplishment.
Speaker 3: Your daughter just one student of the year.
Speaker 2: I was just there. You saw the stuff speaking of graduation.
Speaker 1: Mike mahyor unimpressed by that, you could care.
Speaker 2: Less see probably if he could downvote my my well
Speaker 2: my Facebook posts about my daughter winning that I'm a
Speaker 2: I'm like super proud and stuff like that, and he would.
Speaker 2: He would probably direct message me. Shouldn't be It's nothing, snowflake.
Speaker 2: That's what I am at.
Speaker 1: Mark's got another trivia question for us. Dylan Cees is
Speaker 1: the second pitcher in Major League Baseball history to have
Speaker 1: a four inning start while striking out eleven batters. Who
Speaker 1: is the other pitcher? Hint he's a current active pitcher. Hmmm,
Speaker 1: because immediately I went to a J. Burnett That sounded
Speaker 1: like an A J. Burnett line waiting to happen for
Speaker 1: I think that's a good one, is it? That is
Speaker 1: the Welsh's guest?
Speaker 2: Yeah, somebody guests Trent guests Shane McClanahan, which I think
Speaker 2: is a fantastic one. That's a really good question, but
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go I'm gonna go with Otani. What about you.
Speaker 1: Let's see a couple of hours is a really good one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like you gotta think a guy who's completely dominant and
Speaker 1: then not long for a game that sounds like a
Speaker 1: Blake Snell kind of line sometimes to me too, or
Speaker 1: are you darvish? Would be another one that was.
Speaker 2: An interesting one. Yeah, I wish him not right because
Speaker 2: Mark says he's got another hint as people are guessing.
Speaker 1: But well, you never know, could be a delay.
Speaker 2: We'll see.
Speaker 1: As time goes on, we'll give you the answer. But
Speaker 1: in the meantime, it's time to go. Get that special
Speaker 1: offer for new users at bet mgm, the king of

Speaker 1: took that ten dollars and put it on that Bryce
Speaker 1: Harper thing that I was too afraid to bet yesterday.
Speaker 1: You'll want a lot of money in a parlay. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you something, Welsh. What do you have in
Speaker 1: terms of prop bets today? I had put mine in
Speaker 1: and it looks like Mike Mayer took mine out. I
Speaker 1: don't know why. I think he was trying to sweep
Speaker 1: the show sheet and end up taking away my prop
Speaker 1: bets somehow that oh yeah.
Speaker 3: Tix years out. Well, he took her jobs.
Speaker 2: He took her Damn he did not. It did not aggregate.
Speaker 2: So I gotta be honestly, I haven't been able to
Speaker 2: look as the MLB.
Speaker 1: I remember mine, so i'll I'll stall while you think
Speaker 1: Keid Alonzo total bases was one of mine at one
Speaker 1: and a half. It's at DK plus one thirty. I
Speaker 1: also had Franber Valdez. This is tricky. It's right on
Speaker 1: the border line four and a half k's against the
Speaker 1: Nationals tonight at plus one oh four. I like the
Speaker 1: over on that one. I want to say I had
Speaker 1: one other. It was it Jordan Alvarez, also one and
Speaker 1: a half plus one ten over a DK. You're getting
Speaker 1: good money there and Austin Hayes at plus one forty
Speaker 1: five against the Geordo Rodriguez tonight one and a half
Speaker 1: total bases at plus one forty five. I like that one,
Speaker 1: So those are mine. Anything on the prop bet cheat
Speaker 1: sheet over on betting pros that makes you excited.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'm looking at a couple on the
Speaker 2: cause it just aggregated. When we started, it had not
Speaker 2: aggregated everything, but it's all up now.
Speaker 3: A couple that I like.
Speaker 2: On the strikeout front. I like your Franberveldez one. I
Speaker 2: like the Tyler Molly one. And it's plus money on
Speaker 2: DK against Pittsburgh at five and a half. Even though
Speaker 2: he's had some struggles, he's got a huge differential by
Speaker 2: the way, between his era and his Sierra, I mean
Speaker 2: almost like a two to two and a half run differential,
Speaker 2: and he's been striking out guys. So I actually think
Speaker 2: that's a sneaky plus money one, and I wouldn't mind
Speaker 2: parlaying that with maybe one other pitcher to get some
Speaker 2: good money. I like Pablo Lopez against Milwaukee as well,
Speaker 2: who's at five and a half, who's been kind of
Speaker 2: a strikeout monster. So I might go Malli and Pablo
Speaker 2: Lopez to put those together. And then as far as
Speaker 2: hits go, I like Byron Buxton, who I believe shocker
Speaker 2: it might have some one thirty five I beat you
Speaker 2: to it. Who's up there on total bases at one
Speaker 2: and a half. And you know something, I think it's
Speaker 2: really fun just to play around with. If you've got
Speaker 2: just a couple bucks, is do a little hit run,
Speaker 2: take two or three. You don't get good odds on
Speaker 2: singular hits total. If you want a single bet, you
Speaker 2: probably want to play total basses because total bases at
Speaker 2: one and a half pays much better than a hit,
Speaker 2: which is at minus you know, two hundred sometimes three hundred.
Speaker 2: But take three guys, take three studs, maybe do a
Speaker 2: little BVP and go and pick three guys to put
Speaker 2: together like a Wanda Franco, Bryce Harper, and maybe like
Speaker 2: Luis Robert, put them together on a singular hit parade
Speaker 2: and you can get a decent little payout there. So
Speaker 2: just a little extra advice to have a little bit
Speaker 2: of fun.
Speaker 3: Don't put too much on that though.
Speaker 1: What was that stat you gave up before your Sierra
Speaker 1: and didn't match.
Speaker 3: Or what oh e versus sierra.
Speaker 2: That was something we were just doing over on itl
Speaker 2: breaking down where Molly was one of those dudes who
Speaker 2: had I think is the six and I think he
Speaker 2: is like six something. I just don't have it in
Speaker 2: front of me. But his sierra, you know, maybe a
Speaker 2: more true representation of like really ra is down in
Speaker 2: the fours. So you go and find guys, whether it's
Speaker 2: positive or negative regression with an over two run differential
Speaker 2: between their sierra and their era. That means it doesn't
Speaker 2: match up. So you could find potential regression or guys
Speaker 2: that are, you know, gonna improve a little bit. And
Speaker 2: I'm just one of those guys and he's just a
Speaker 2: big strikeout due when he's on. When he's off, he's
Speaker 2: a problem. But I think this is a is a
Speaker 2: half decent spot for him against Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: The answer to the trivia question Carlos Rodon Carlos Rodin
Speaker 1: with the last guy there. So there you go. That's
Speaker 1: thanks Mark for bringing the extra trivia stuff. Let's get
Speaker 1: to the DFS tonight. Framber Valdez eight point two. As
Speaker 1: a favorable start, you got Schurzer. Of course at ten four.
Speaker 1: You could always invest in Kevin Gossman at ten. I'm
Speaker 1: curious as a secondary picture on DK about Rodriguez if
Speaker 1: we're gonna see that trains start to move. But you've
Speaker 1: got some big boys out there. You got Schurzer, you
Speaker 1: got Coal. Cole is far less expensive, theoretically a tougher matchup,
Speaker 1: but I think I would just take the savings and
Speaker 1: go with Eric Cole tonight, Kershaw a ten point two,
Speaker 1: same thing. Cole is cheaper logan web if you really
Speaker 1: want to get a little cheaper. I think he's more
Speaker 1: of a tournament play tonight too. I think he'll be
Speaker 1: lower rostered and a little bit cheaper as well. You
Speaker 1: got Freed and Darbish going against each other, so I'm
Speaker 1: gonna stay away from that game. Four outcomes all over it.
Speaker 1: On the FanDuel side, different in terms of the pricing.
Speaker 1: Always franbirs Is eight point three. He's a fascinating tournament
Speaker 1: play today. You can get a lot of good lineup
Speaker 1: guys in there. Kevin Gospitt nine point eight, one thousand
Speaker 1: dollars cheaper than sures Are at ten to seven, and
Speaker 1: Cole at ten k very cheap as well. Compared excuse me,
Speaker 1: Gosspin compared to Shurs are all the way up at
Speaker 1: the top of that board. Cole, you can always invest in.
Speaker 1: I got no problem with him Kershaw, Cole Scherzer. If
Speaker 1: you're gonna pay up for one of those guys tonight,
Speaker 1: who's that guy for you?
Speaker 2: Welsh ooh Kershaw, Cole Schurzer. I feel like I'm gonna
Speaker 2: go Kershaw. I like the matchup on Kershaw, and I think,
Speaker 2: let me look back on this. I mean, he's not
Speaker 2: that much cheaper than the rest of them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's tough.
Speaker 2: I mean I'm battling between Schurzer and Kershaw and I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go Kershaw.
Speaker 1: All right. There you have it Stacks tonight. I like
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, the Angels, the Mets, the Yankees, and the
Speaker 1: Houston Astros. That so I'm investing in and here you go,
Speaker 1: here's your lineup builders. He might not be special, but
Speaker 1: he's special tonight. JD. Davis on DraftKings at three k.
Speaker 1: If he's in that lineup against the lefty, go get him.
Speaker 1: Same thing with Mark Conna three point two, Austin Hayes
Speaker 1: at three point four on DK Glaber Tours at three
Speaker 1: to eight, Chris Taylor three to eight on FanDuel Julie
Speaker 1: Guriel is just two point four, Davis is cheap there
Speaker 1: two point six, Conna is two point seven, Tours is
Speaker 1: two point four, and Taylor's two point seven. So Conna, Davis, Taylor,
Speaker 1: Glaber Torres on both sites tonight, you can get in there.
Speaker 1: And then continuing on for the home run call, I'm
Speaker 1: going my boy Peene Alonzo for the weekend at home.
Speaker 1: The polar Bear is hot. Let's ride that Polar Bear
Speaker 1: all the way and when we come back next week,
Speaker 1: I hope he's got three more home runs and then
Speaker 1: I'm inching closer to that board. Welsh, where are you
Speaker 1: going for your home run call tonight?
Speaker 2: Well, I kind I'm gonna keep with a system, even
Speaker 2: though i only have five homers and it's not that great.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna pick one of two players I've been rolling
Speaker 2: with on the weekends. I've been rolling with Luis Robert,
Speaker 2: who I'm not gonna go with COVID stuff that's been
Speaker 2: going around. I Am going to go with my guy
Speaker 2: who's been a little bit cooled, and that is going
Speaker 2: to change. Byron Buxton Byron Buckston for Friday back the weekend.
Speaker 1: Staying on brand, the Welsh is back staying on brand.
Speaker 1: One other prop bed too. I love this one on
Speaker 1: DK Cedric Mullins one and a half total basis that
Speaker 1: dude's been on fire lately. Plus one thirty plus one
Speaker 1: thirty you're getting on the Cedric Mullins one and a
Speaker 1: half tonight. Love that one. That's another good one to
Speaker 1: be in all one another.
Speaker 2: I found two CJ crone total bases versus granky. I
Speaker 2: actually like that one one and a half. So you
Speaker 2: need to double minus one forty another maybe a little
Speaker 2: parlay if you want to put two together.
Speaker 1: A lot of juice, you guys, A lot of juice.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's a single best legted juice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I gotta ask you. Does your does your era
Speaker 1: match your Sierra? No?
Speaker 2: No, it doesn't. You know what I'm saying. Really, I
Speaker 2: have a surprisingly I have a surprisingly large Sierra. Joe.
Speaker 1: Well, you know it's it's all about that that thing. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's not if you want to love, I'm saying, I'm
Speaker 1: just you want to lower. Oh okay, I didn't like
Speaker 1: loaded the ground.
Speaker 3: How far can I go? How can I tell you?
Speaker 2: By the way, did you see the video I posted
Speaker 2: and I want to warn a little you know, a little.
Speaker 2: There's language, a little language. Bogman and I had the
Speaker 2: funniest moment in the history of it, the history of
Speaker 2: I TL happened. Excuse me, I sneezed it and I
Speaker 2: and I cut up a video of it. It was
Speaker 2: the single funniest moment. So follow me on Twitter at
