We're 33 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: three for three for the Red, White, and Green right now. 34 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 2: That's right, baby, I love it. All the Italians lining 35 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 2: up today. No inside baseball, just baseball. So maybe some 36 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 2: inside baseball after all, maybe maybe it should be. But yeah, 37 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 2: I like this. All all these Italians, Well, we all 38 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 2: hang out together, you know, off air. It's it's part 39 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 2: of what we do. We keep the faith, we keep 40 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 2: the old country in our hearts. That's what we do. 41 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 3: Baby. You know, my parents just got back from a trip. 42 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 3: It was fantastic. 43 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 2: I can't wait to get back there. Yeah, I can't wait. 44 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: But someday today we're talking about the diamond we're hitting 45 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: into the halfway point of the season. The All Star 46 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: break is right upon us, and unfortunately for us, Major 47 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: League Baseball is kind of treating some of this like 48 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: they're a kid with a science project that they have 49 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: to get done. 50 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 3: They're waiting for the last possible minute. 51 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: Here, we still don't know all eight members of the 52 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 1: home run derby field. We don't know the All Star 53 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: lineups yet, so odds aren't out for that, but we're 54 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: still gonna talk a little bit about that. And then 55 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: we're kind of do a halfway checkpoint here. It's the 56 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 1: midway point of the season. This is a good time 57 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: for people to reflect maybe on how they're betting the 58 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: games going into the break versus how they want to 59 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: bet them coming out, and also take a look at 60 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: some futures markets, some awards markets, some World Series markets, 61 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: and then some We're gonna cover all that here, but 62 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: let's start off with the All Star weekend. What are 63 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: some of the things that people can bet on this weekend? 64 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: Is there anything that you're looking forward the home run derby? 65 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 2: Well, that's the hard part is because the constant interchanging 66 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 2: pieces make it almost impossible. I always tell people, look, 67 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,239 Speaker 2: if you want to, you know, approach the All Star Game, 68 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 2: sometimes the best wager is the under and the total 69 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 2: in the game, because with so many moving pieces back 70 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 2: and forth, it's really tough. You don't get to see 71 00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 2: a pitcher of second, third time and really get a 72 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 2: beat on them. And these are guys they don't necessarily 73 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 2: always see that often, let alone some of the relievers 74 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 2: that end up working a lot in these games. So 75 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 2: it's a very difficult game to get invested in. The 76 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 2: home run Derby, however, is great. That's like a better paradise, 77 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 2: I feel like, because you can go the individual numbers, 78 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 2: which is fun. You can go for the winners, you 79 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 2: could do like a win play show. There's all kinds 80 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 2: of fun things that are out there for the Derby. 81 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 2: So I'm in on the Derby. The All Star Game. 82 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 2: I tell you people take a day off, relax a 83 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,119 Speaker 2: little bit, because it's just it's too many variables. And 84 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 2: you know, I'm sure you've mentioned the show a ton 85 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 2: of times. When you're trying to make wagers, what you're 86 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 2: trying to do is take as many variables out as 87 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 2: you possibly can and really hyper focus on what you 88 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 2: can make money on what works, and I think we're 89 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 2: looking at the baseball market. You know, there's things you 90 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 2: can rely on, you know, some of these you know 91 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 2: strikeout totals that we're looking at, and these props. You know, 92 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 2: like we have a joke on the show, right, what's 93 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 2: mccladahan's prop. Let's just go over. You know, there's some 94 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 2: things that are just always working for us, and we 95 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 2: just keep ad of them. But with the All Star Game, 96 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 2: when you have all these interchangeable pieces that are constantly moving, 97 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 2: you don't know who's going to be facing whom at 98 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 2: what point it becomes really differ and alviously becomes a 99 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 2: non starter for me personally. So I tell people ignore that, 100 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 2: start looking ahead to the second half, start looking ahead 101 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 2: to futures in the awards if you haven't already made investments. 102 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: And that's what we're gonna do here, because unfortunately we 103 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: can't bet on the Celebrity Softball game, so we're kind 104 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: of out. 105 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 2: I'm taking Bad Bunny for the one and a half 106 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 2: total basis, that's what I'd like to take. 107 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 3: I wish I want to live in. 108 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: A society where we can get exactly on that prop. 109 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 2: Joe, well, you and I could do a side one 110 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 2: on that weecause we can make that work. 111 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 3: Deal the home run derby. 112 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: Though, before we move on from All Star weekend, let's 113 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: talk a little bit about that roster. Is there anyone 114 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: Obviously odds aren't out yet, but you know, Pete Alonso 115 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: is most likely going to be one. 116 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 3: Of the favorites here. 117 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: He's looking for the three Pete Albert pooh Hal's it's 118 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: one last ride. You know that they're gonna try and 119 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 1: pump up the ceremony there. He has five homers this year, 120 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: maybe he can have some magic at the end. Kyle 121 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 1: Schwarber surely another favorite, twelve homers in June, leads the 122 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: National League with twenty eight on the season right now. 123 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: And then you I've got Acunya, who lost to Alonso 124 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 1: in the twenty nineteen Semis with eight homers, and Juan 125 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 1: Soto seventeen this year, also lost to Alonso in the 126 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one Semis. 127 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 3: Is there anyone that you have your eye on? 128 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 2: Well, look, Pete Alonzo's great at this Albert poolholes, God 129 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 2: love him. I think it's great that he's doing this. 130 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 2: I think it's awesome. But the problem is when you 131 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 2: have that time element that's in the home run derby. 132 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 2: Now you have to have great athletes, you know, who 133 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 2: can really have a stamina to outlast because you've got 134 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,679 Speaker 2: to hit X number of home runs at a certain period 135 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 2: of time, and you have like I think the one 136 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 2: time out or whatever the heck you could take. It's 137 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 2: a whole other set of rules. So this is not 138 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 2: the home run derby from years past. They really evolved 139 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 2: it and I kind of like it. I like the 140 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 2: time aspect of it. I think it makes it really 141 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 2: difficult for the guys. And with that being said, you know, 142 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 2: as great of an athlete's Rondakuoni is, it's Juan Soto 143 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 2: to me that I have my eye on for this 144 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 2: right now. The guys that are invested in Juan Soto, 145 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 2: in my opinion, is the best pure hitter in baseball, 146 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 2: and sometimes that can be a detriment in a contest 147 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 2: like this because he's to hit more lined drives than 148 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 2: anything else. But Wan Soto is so good that he 149 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 2: could adjust his swing at any moment to do whatever 150 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 2: he needs to do. And I think Wan Soto's playing 151 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 2: for a team or he doesn't have much going on 152 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:10,679 Speaker 2: right now. And I feel like this is a moment 153 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 2: for him where he's gonna get excited and the adrenaline's 154 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 2: gonna be pumping, and he's a guy that's showing you 155 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 2: in the past he can compete for this, and in 156 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 2: terms of athleticism and stamina, he fits the bill. Alonso 157 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 2: should be the favorite right now from the guys that 158 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 2: are up there. The dark horse right now from the 159 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 2: names would be Schwarber for me, he's had a great season, 160 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 2: a true slugger as well, and I think that's what 161 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 2: you're looking for in this these you know, the true 162 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 2: slugger types, or the guys like Juan Sota who are 163 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 2: just out of their mind talents who also happen to 164 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 2: be very good conditioned athletes, because I do think as 165 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 2: time goes on to actually win, I think it sometimes 166 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 2: takes a little bit of that conditioning which Sodo has. 167 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: I think that makes a lot of sense. You're right, 168 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: it is that stamina factor here. Some of those big 169 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: guys that just like to hit him out of the 170 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 1: park when they go up to bat and then you 171 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,919 Speaker 1: pull them for a pinch runner, they're. 172 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,559 Speaker 3: Not to be able to do that here. 173 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: And while I'm holding out a slim chance of hope 174 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: that we get a Bartolo cologne in the home run Deer. 175 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 3: Oh, you me both, that would be the all time 176 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 3: greatest thing. But I agree with you. 177 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: Soto is a guy that I have on My hope 178 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: is that Alonzo and Schwarber eat up so much of 179 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: that tickets and money that they're so heavy favorites that 180 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: you can maybe get a little more of a price 181 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: on Sodo. 182 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 3: That would be fantastic. 183 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would, and I think that's your approach, and 184 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 2: I think that's what you look for. And if you 185 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 2: see a good line on soda early, jump on it. 186 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 2: You know, jump on it. And with even smaller investment, 187 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 2: you can still hedge a little bit with one of 188 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 2: the favorites. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, 189 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 2: And we'll see you. I think it's also gonna change 190 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 2: if and when an Aaron Judge or somebody like that 191 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 2: comes into this contest, or Jordan Alvarez comes in, then 192 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 2: we're really gonna have That's gonna be a huge shift 193 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 2: because those are two very big public players. We'll see 194 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 2: if Alvarez thinks he's healthy enough to participate. That's a 195 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 2: question right now in terms of Aaron Judge. I mean, look, 196 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 2: is there any more public Yankee public money than Yankee money? No, 197 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 2: there's no such thing. It's the Cowboys, as the Yankees, 198 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 2: the most public you could possibly get, So keep a 199 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 2: close eye on that too and how that might adjust things. 200 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 4: Do you love sports betting as much as Calvin Ridley? 201 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 4: Are you willing to stake your career on it?

Let's 209 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: switch over now talk about the second half of this season, 210 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: because we are rapidly approaching the break and there are 211 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,199 Speaker 1: some real burning questions and ways that maybe you want 212 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: to reevaluate going to the second half. The most important 213 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: among them, Joe, are the Orioles ever going to lose 214 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: a baseball game? 215 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 3: Again? 216 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 2: Yes? I can unequivocally say yes. They might even lose today. 217 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 2: Look It's great what the Oriols have done. And I 218 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 2: think it's stunning to think that everybody as of right 219 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 2: now we're doing this on the thirteenth of July, at 220 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 2: all five teams in this division or five hundred or better. 221 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 2: That's stunning. I mean, it tells you some of the 222 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 2: bottom feeder teams that exists in the American League too, 223 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 2: you know, like the Oakland A's has been terrible, and 224 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 2: you know, Kansas City Detroit have not been good. We 225 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 2: all know that, but it's astounding. It also is more 226 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 2: incredible when you consider how far above the Yankees are 227 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 2: for the rest of this division. When you're up by 228 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 2: fourteen games on the next best team and then everybody 229 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 2: else is clumped within like three wins of each other, 230 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 2: it's wild. Lee Orioles can't sustain this. They don't have 231 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 2: the pitching to sustain it. It's a fun story. It's 232 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 2: a streak, and baseball is a game of streaks. And 233 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 2: understanding how to ride those streaks and when to get 234 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 2: on the wave and when to jump off of it, 235 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 2: I think is very important. But looking at that East, 236 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 2: I think the team that you want to pay attention 237 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 2: to as things go on is the Boston Red Sox 238 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 2: now that Chris Sale is back, because they're gonna get 239 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,319 Speaker 2: whitlocked back in about a week or so to adding 240 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 2: him to that bullpen as the long man is gonna 241 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 2: be very helpful. Chris Sales like adding a big trade piece. 242 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 2: And with the Toronto Blue Jay is firing their manager today, 243 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 2: that's an interesting indicator sometimes, and you've seen them leading 244 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 2: off we talk about it. Sometimes you get a bump 245 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 2: from firing the manager. I Philly's got a bump, Angels 246 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 2: not so much. So it's tough. Sometimes there's a minimal 247 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 2: bump that comes from that kind of a shakeup. But 248 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 2: whether or not sustainable, I don't know. And I would 249 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 2: keep a close eye on that Red Sox team though, 250 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 2: because with Tampa missing Wander Franco for the next six 251 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 2: to eight weeks, that offense is going to really hurt. 252 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 2: And Boston's put themselves in a position with a healthy 253 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 2: cre Sale to really start to stay atop the wildcard 254 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 2: standings as it were. 255 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, the division most likely a little bit out of reach. 256 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: I mean we would love to be able to take 257 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 1: them at fifty to one and make a profit there. 258 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: The Yankees minus four thousand on fandle right now, absurd 259 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: but well learned. But maybe the Red Sox could be 260 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: that team that makes that late season push through the wildcard, 261 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: because all of a sudden you look towards looking at 262 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: the league winners. Here they're twelfth to one to win 263 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: the American League and twenty eight to one to win 264 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: the World Series. They could be a team that makes 265 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: that push towards the end of the season, right they could. 266 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 2: You know, I always look at when you're getting to 267 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 2: the World Series. I'm talking about the short series. You know, 268 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 2: that to me is a very different thing. So Red 269 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 2: Sox are a team that if you're looking to you know, 270 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 2: bet to win the playoff to get into the playoffs, 271 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,079 Speaker 2: excuse me, or if you're betting the over on the 272 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 2: win total. I think those are good wagers if you 273 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 2: could still make them in some houses. But the problem is, 274 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 2: when you're looking at winning the American League or the 275 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 2: National League, it always comes down to me or like 276 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 2: what sort of pitching are you going to throw in 277 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,959 Speaker 2: a short series? And ironically, you know, the Blue Jays 278 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 2: are still the third highest if you look over on 279 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 2: the FanDuel odds, they're at plus eight hundred. So despite 280 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 2: the firing of the manager, despite maybe underperforming last year, 281 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 2: they were the young team that chase this year. They 282 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,959 Speaker 2: were the team that people had expectations for and they 283 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 2: haven't quite lived up to them. Do they have a 284 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 2: big second half in them? Because if they do Gossman 285 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 2: Manoa and if you can get the Jose Burrios we 286 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 2: got last night, where you're striking out a career high 287 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 2: group of guys, Or do the Blue Jays have a 288 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 2: trade in them where they can go out and acquire 289 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 2: a Montas or a Luis Casti or somebody else for 290 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,439 Speaker 2: this rotation that may them very good. I keep coming 291 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 2: back to the Astros. The Astros have Justin Verlander at 292 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 2: the top. They've got Framberg, They've got Christian Javier who's 293 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 2: been fantastic. They have depth of that rotation, but they 294 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 2: also have bullpen as well. They have good defense. As 295 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 2: much as the Yankees are a plus one sixty five 296 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 2: right now, you know, to me, the Astros are still 297 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 2: the better wager, and I think the better bet to 298 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 2: get there. Because sometimes these teams that have incredible regular 299 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 2: season records, you know, go back to record setting Seattle 300 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 2: Mariners back in the past who they lose to the 301 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 2: Yankees in the playoffs. Right, You know, sometimes the regular 302 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 2: season doesn't mean as much as we think. In the playoffs, 303 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 2: it's about what kind of starting pitchering you can throw 304 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 2: out there in a short series. And to me, Houston 305 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 2: I think has the edge there. 306 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 3: I completely agree with you. 307 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: I think this Astros team is kind of getting lost 308 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: in that shuffle. We both lost in the shuffle of 309 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: the Yankees and the Mets and the Red Sox and 310 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: the Dodgers will not so much the Red Sox, but Yankees, Dodgers, 311 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: Mets all good at the same time. That just soaks 312 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: up all the media coverage, and then the Astros are there, like, hey, 313 00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: we might have wanted you to forget about us two 314 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: years years ago, but right now they're making some noise, 315 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 1: and at five to one to win the whole thing, 316 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 1: it's slightly better value than you're getting on the Yankees 317 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: or Dodgers at four. But the thing is that those 318 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: three favorites are so heavy there you almost don't have 319 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: value in that market unless you want to fade this 320 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: big three. 321 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 3: Are there any teams that you. 322 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: Might see as a potential opportunity if you wanted to 323 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: fade those top teams and get some value for the 324 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: World Series. 325 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 2: You mean, yeah, for the World Series a little trickier. 326 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 2: I think the Braves would be the one that I 327 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 2: would circle first at plus eight p fifty because that's 328 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,439 Speaker 2: a team that you can absolutely look at. If Charlie 329 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 2: Morton is right right, Max Freed has been fantastic. You 330 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 2: put him together, the two of them at the top 331 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 2: of that rotation along with Kyle Wright. You look at 332 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 2: that lineup, the depth of that lineup, and Nassy Alby's 333 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 2: has been out. Eventually, they're going to get him back 334 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 2: before the season ends, so you're adding him back into 335 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 2: a team that's already just loaded top to bottom. So 336 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 2: they're an athletic team that can create runs. Creating runs 337 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 2: is very important. They can hit the lone long ball too, 338 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 2: that's very important. And they have starting pitching that's very important. 339 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 2: And Strider, if he goes back into the bullpen, that 340 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 2: becomes a huge weapon for them out of the bullpen 341 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 2: because then you're shortening games because he's been so lights out. 342 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 2: So the Braves to me, and look the Mets at 343 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 2: seven to one for the World's here is something you 344 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 2: have to really contemplate, and as a Mets fan myself, 345 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 2: I can tell you it's almost hard for me to 346 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 2: say those words. But there's nobody that's going to have 347 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 2: Schurzer and de Grom at the top of that rotation 348 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 2: in a playoff where you can have to face those 349 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 2: guys five times in the seven game series. That's tough. 350 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 2: That is really tough. The problem with the Mets of 351 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 2: the inconsistency of the offense. They still have time to 352 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 2: address this. And this is an interesting time too, because 353 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 2: if the Mets do go out there and acquire a 354 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 2: big bat or somebody else, that's going to change some 355 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 2: of these odds a little bit. You'll see some impact 356 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 2: on these lines. But the Mets and Braves at seven 357 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 2: hundred and eight to fifty. You know me, I've never 358 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 2: been drinking the Dodger kool aid all here. It's the 359 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 2: blue kool aid. That's a weird flavor. Anyway, I still 360 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 2: think there's, you know, a tough path for the Dodgers 361 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 2: to get all the way back there, and I'm not 362 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 2: exactly sold that Walker Bueler is going to get there 363 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 2: as well. The other biggest long shop you have to 364 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 2: consider the Padres a little bit. I know the offense 365 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 2: has some issues, but if they get Tattis Junior back, 366 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 2: and if he looks like Tattis Junior in August and September, 367 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 2: that is a huge impact into this lineup. And you're 368 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 2: talking about a rotation that's got Musgrove, who's been as 369 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 2: good as anybody, Darvish Manaya, Blake Snell. 370 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 3: That is an. 371 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 2: Incredibly deep rotation. So the Padres are another team, Mets, Padres, Braves. 372 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 2: Those are the three to me that are really fascinating 373 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 2: to win all that you have much better odds plus 374 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 2: seven hundred plus eight to fifty for the Braves, seven 375 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 2: for the Mets, and plus eighteen hundred for the Pops. 376 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 3: That's right. 377 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: That eighteen to one price on the Padres really has 378 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: me thinking, these you nailed it. They are the team 379 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: in that mid range market where you say they can 380 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: get hot. They have the depth, they have that all 381 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: important pitching rotation that it could be something that happens. 382 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 2: You know. 383 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: I'm still in a group chat with four of my 384 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: buddies from college, and three of them are Mets fans, 385 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: and every year at the beginning of the season, there's 386 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: a moment where they're all freaking out about something, whether 387 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: it's a big signing or a big early win, and 388 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: I just screenshot it and I say, I'm saving this 389 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: for when it's the high point of the season, and 390 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: then for the rest of the season, I get to 391 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: perpetually reuse that I haven't been able to. 392 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 3: Really do it this season. They just keep going, oh. 393 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 2: There might come a time, Tommy, there might come a 394 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 2: time where that's available again it and me, I'm the opposite. 395 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 2: I'm always I'm conditioned now to not get excited. See 396 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 2: I don't, you know, as excited as I was about Suzer, 397 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 2: it sounded great, you knows. All I can think of was, well, 398 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 2: he's really old. How many how many starts is he 399 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 2: going to make along with the grom One? What's the 400 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 2: combination of starts on that We're gonna get fifty starts 401 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 2: between these two guys. Probably not at the end of 402 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 2: the day, you're not gonna get that, right, So I 403 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 2: wouldn't taken the under there. But yeah, you know, I 404 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 2: think the difference though, is Buck Showalter. Buck Showalter has 405 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 2: this team a little bit more focused. And this is 406 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 2: where when people say manager doesn't matter, and I say, 407 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 2: you're wrong because it's such a long season. It's so 408 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 2: much more than punching number to manage a baseball team 409 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 2: and to manage these players because it's such a grind 410 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,360 Speaker 2: of every single day, So getting guys to play hard 411 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 2: every single day matters. In This series against the Braves 412 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 2: has been very good one and they're gonna have a 413 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 2: lot more games against the Braves. But I think we 414 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,159 Speaker 2: all agree the Braves and the Mets are gonna be 415 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 2: in the playoffs, and what a series that would be 416 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 2: between the two of them if it was a seven 417 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 2: game series to go for the World Series. Will shall 418 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 2: find out. And maybe it is the Dodgers, maybe it 419 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 2: is the Chalk But man, those super teams sometimes you've 420 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 2: seen it, Tom, You've been around a long time sports. 421 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 2: You know, if it's too good to be true? How 422 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 2: often is it? Usually it's too good to be true? 423 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 2: And never is. 424 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, those super teams are always They're no fun in basketball, 425 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,360 Speaker 1: they're no fun in baseball. But as a Jets fan, 426 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 1: I fully understand where you're coming from. 427 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 3: On temporary inspect Yes. 428 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 2: You have no fun at all. I feel bad for 429 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 2: those people who are Mets and Jets fans and Knicks fans. 430 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 2: I don't know how they exist. I really don't. 431 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 1: That's that's a brutal way to live life. I'm glad 432 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: it's not. Maybe as I can. 433 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 2: I'm a Patriots fans, so yes, you can see Mets 434 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 2: and Pats. So I have a cycle where life is 435 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 2: great for me. In the fall, I have said a 436 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 2: wonderful to all. We win Super Bowls, and the Mets 437 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 2: start and I kind of have optimism, and then I'm 438 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,679 Speaker 2: miserable by June July, and then training camp starts and 439 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 2: I feel good about myself again.

So before I get you out of here, though, Joe, 450 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: one of the best things that we have in terms 451 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: of finding value and trying to mind something out of 452 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: the second half of the season might be the Player 453 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: Award market. It's gonna swing so much more month to month, 454 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: week to week. Even then World Series odds are gonna 455 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: as we kind of extrap over the course of this 456 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 1: very long season. So this is where we might want 457 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 1: to find some value here. And obviously in the American 458 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: League there's not too much value left on the board. 459 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: It's a two horse race. But the question is which 460 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 1: horse is going to come out on top here. I 461 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 1: have to get your opinion. Is it Aaron Judge at 462 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: plus one twenty five or shueh Otani at plus one 463 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 1: fifty five. 464 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 2: Well, this is why you pay attention to leading off 465 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 2: and when before you got to come over here and 466 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 2: take over these duties, which, by the way, thank you. 467 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,640 Speaker 2: It's so great to have somebody else doing some VP 468 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 2: shows besides me. I told everybody early on, I was like, look, 469 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 2: it's Otani's to lose. The only reason you don't get 470 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 2: minus money on Altani to start the year, it's because 471 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,640 Speaker 2: he's a pitcher because it's a huge risk of injury 472 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 2: being a pitcher and hitter. So that's why it was 473 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 2: even three to one to start the year, or three 474 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 2: depending on what book you were using. What I told 475 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 2: everybody in leading off when Aaron Judge got really hot, 476 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 2: I was like, look, get Aaron Judge at plus money, 477 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 2: take your money out where you can on show. Hey 478 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 2: at the three to one, and then wait put it 479 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 2: in Judge and then wait for the Otani number to 480 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,120 Speaker 2: go up. And he paid attention to that. It did 481 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 2: get as high as five or even five and a 482 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 2: half at six and some books. And if you reinvested 483 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 2: in Atani there you got him. Now it's bus plus 484 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 2: one fifty five. And Judge, who was just the minus 485 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 2: number a couple weeks ago, is now plus money as well, 486 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 2: plus one twenty five. To me, it's still a Tani. 487 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 2: I said it last year. Vlad Geruro Junior can go 488 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 2: out there and win the triple Crown. Doesn't matter. Is 489 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 2: he picking up the ball and starting every fifth day? 490 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 2: And I know the angels stink, but it's it doesn't matter. 491 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 2: Oh Tani is doing something no one else can do. 492 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 2: And as great as Judge has been It would not 493 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:33,959 Speaker 2: shock me if it ended up being some weird split 494 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 2: of this award. Somehow they find a way to do 495 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,479 Speaker 2: all this, or writers start writing both names. I don't know, 496 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 2: but it is a two horse race in the American 497 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 2: League the National League. Goldschmid was a player that we 498 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 2: were heavy into a right around twelve to one, ten 499 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 2: to one. Now that number is plus one oh five 500 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 2: in the National League, so I do think it's still 501 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 2: Goldschmith's to lose. What hurts Freeman and Betts and Turners 502 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 2: that they all play on the same team, so they 503 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 2: cancel each other out at seven to one. Alonso still 504 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 2: has a path there because you know he has really 505 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 2: kind of been the guy holding this team together, So 506 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 2: keep an eye on that. If he has a monster 507 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 2: second half, this could be a number that moves from 508 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 2: seven to three within the span of a month. But 509 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 2: right now, it's still Paul Goldschmith's to lose. Many Machada 510 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 2: was the early guy, but the early guys tend to 511 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 2: not win the award most of the time. He shousually 512 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 2: the guys with a big second half, so keep that 513 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 2: in mind. Because Harper was the guy with the big 514 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 2: second half last year who won it. Alonzo could be 515 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,719 Speaker 2: that guy too, because the Mets offense hasn't been great 516 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 2: when you go to the cy Young in the National League, look, 517 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 2: al Contra was a guy in leading off. I think 518 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 2: we got at eight to one, ten to one around there. 519 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 2: I'm still hedging on Joe Musgrove at plus eleven hundred 520 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,199 Speaker 2: because I think Musgrove has been right there with al Contra. 521 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 2: And look with pitchers, it takes one injury, one eye 522 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 2: el stint, next thing you know they're off the board. 523 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 2: I mean, look at Srzer right Sureser was tops on 524 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 2: this list for a little while injury, Boom missed a month, 525 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 2: he's gone, and then American League. I'm still on team. 526 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 2: Justin Verlander had it twenty five, wanted to start the 527 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 2: year double down, triple down, quadruple down. Mcloanahan's ahead of 528 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 2: him at two fifty Verlanders two seventy. In my opinion, 529 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 2: I think you look at Justin Verlander and you think 530 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 2: the narrative is there, the story is there. Mccloanahann has 531 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 2: to be as good as he's been the first half. 532 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 2: I just think that's a tough sell for me, especially 533 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 2: with that Tampa lineup being so dreadful right now, American 534 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 2: League work of the year's already gone. It was Julio. 535 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 2: We told you it was Julio. In the beginning of 536 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 2: the year. It was Julio and Bobby Witt. Then at a 537 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 2: certain point we said, it's Julio show. Get in before 538 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 2: it goes negative. It's gone, bye bye, forget it. The 539 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 2: nationally Brook of the Year is completely up for grabs. 540 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 2: Your guess is as good as mine. I want nothing 541 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:36,640 Speaker 2: to do with it. 542 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 3: That might be where you can actually find a price 543 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 3: because of it. 544 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 1: I mean, Strider's plus one sixty five, then you got 545 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 1: Harris at three twenty, and then Cruise at seven to one, 546 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: like it jumps up really quickly. 547 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 2: It's crazy, and the volatility of this market is nuts. 548 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 2: I mean, it makes no sense to me. And honestly, 549 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 2: at this point, you know, Strider makes the most sense 550 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 2: because the Braves are a very visible team to champions. 551 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 2: I never thought it was gonna be Anio Cruz at 552 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 2: one point he was the leader here. You've seen Nolan 553 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 2: Gorman at the top of this list. You've seen Suzuki, 554 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 2: who I told everybody do not invest in Suzuki is 555 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 2: not that dude, And people will tell me, of course, 556 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 2: he got off to a great starm M. Like, just 557 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,439 Speaker 2: watch when the league adjust to him. Watch how he 558 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 2: doesn't adjust back. And he hasn't really, so it's really tough. 559 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 2: It's not a good year in the National League, so 560 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 2: it's gonna be more of a default. I wouldn't count 561 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 2: out Hunter Green, who is plus one hundred and thirty 562 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 2: thousand or something like that. I don't know what it's 563 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 2: crazy what he's at right now, but seriously, I mean 564 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 2: it's Hunter Green. Is that guy that could go on 565 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 2: a run and be great. If Max Meyer comes up 566 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 2: in the second half of his lights out for the Marlins, 567 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 2: he could get involved in this award. But at the 568 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 2: end of the day, it feels like it's gonna end 569 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 2: up being Strider by default. 570 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 3: That makes a lot of sense. 571 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: But what do you think about the potential shoot of 572 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 1: show Hey getting traded. Would that help or hurt him? 573 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 2: Well, if he gets traded to the National League, it 574 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 2: certainly hurts, but I don't think he's going to get 575 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,679 Speaker 2: moved at all. I think that is a is a 576 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 2: really tough sell, and the Angels are a team that 577 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,679 Speaker 2: you know, We've talked about this on leading off a 578 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 2: bunch that they've they've missed out on building from within 579 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 2: on this team to supplement the stars. They have not 580 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 2: fostered good young pitching. The scouting department has failed there, 581 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 2: some of the signings have failed there. They've been a 582 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 2: very stars and scrubs organization. Going back to the beginning 583 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:25,959 Speaker 2: of the Pools contract. You know, he spent a lot 584 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 2: of money on Pool, So Josh Hamilton once upon a time, 585 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 2: and all these big contracts right vernon Wells and what 586 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 2: was lying underneath was not enough to make up a 587 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 2: baseball team. And that's where the Angels have always been. 588 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 2: And they've been floating around in this cycle for years now. 589 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 2: And now you know, Trout's hit a bad patch here. 590 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,640 Speaker 2: He's been terrible in July, not to mention he's now 591 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 2: dealing with back issues. And you know how the Anaheim 592 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 2: Angels you're looking up at the Texas Rangers are ahead 593 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 2: of you right now, and you know, and Texas had 594 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 2: a good offseason, but still, I mean, where's their Trout, 595 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 2: where's their showey Otami? You know, but they have more 596 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 2: players and at the end of the day, you know, 597 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 2: firing Joe Madden was a huge mistake, I thought. But 598 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, the Angels have failed 599 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:13,880 Speaker 2: from an organizational standpoint to surround and supplement with young 600 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 2: talent around them, and it's unfortunate guys like jo Adele 601 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 2: haven't hit. You know, They've had some guys come through, 602 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 2: and they've been a lot of failures. So that's when 603 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 2: you have to reevaluate how you're doing things, what's your process, 604 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 2: because you look at some other teams that, like the 605 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 2: Cleveland Guardians, will just keep cycling through and cycling through 606 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 2: they stay relevant. Meanwhile, the Angels cannot. 607 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,479 Speaker 3: And that's the other thing it's so hard to Mike. 608 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: You can't really mind Max in baseball when you're building 609 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 1: a roster, you can't build it around two stars like 610 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: that because the rest of your the rest of your 611 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: death is just suffering so much. Unless you think Yankees 612 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 1: and the Dodgers, then you just max Max. But if 613 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: his money doesn't matter to you, but you are much 614 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: better off with a team full of really good players than. 615 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 3: A team full of air players that has two of 616 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 3: the best in the game. 617 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 2: You need stars still, stars help. But at the same time, 618 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 2: it's been the pitching for this team forever, and Gotani 619 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,439 Speaker 2: has been fantastic, but he can't do it by himself. 620 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 2: I think people had higher expectations for Sandfall this year, 621 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 2: expectations for Cindergard, but you know it's they're in a 622 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 2: tough bind here too, because they're tied into a lot 623 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 2: of money for trout oh Tani. I don't know what 624 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,119 Speaker 2: the next chapter is going to be for him, but 625 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 2: one can only dream what he would command on the 626 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 2: open market. It would be absurd potentially, but also a 627 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 2: huge risk. For that same reason we talked about, why 628 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 2: is any minus or just even money for MVP, because 629 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 2: it's a bigger risk when you're a pitcher and a 630 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 2: hitter of when you have that injury with your arm, 631 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 2: then you can't do either and that becomes a real issue. 632 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 3: That's very true. 633 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: My last question for you here as we head into 634 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 1: the break, teams are going to have a little bit 635 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: of time off. Who are you expecting to come out 636 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: hot for the second half of the season. 637 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 3: Is there a team that you're gonna be. 638 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: Eyeing, really betting on a little more heavily in the 639 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: second half. 640 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 2: Well, I will say this, I'm fascinating to see how 641 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,919 Speaker 2: the Blue Jays respond to the managerial firing, because I 642 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:02,919 Speaker 2: would not be surprised if they got a little bit 643 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 2: of a shake up there, and maybe the young kids 644 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 2: kind of get things right. I told you Boston is 645 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 2: a team to keep an eye on. Seattle has been 646 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 2: really good. You know. It's funny we keep talking about, 647 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 2: you know, the wind streak of the Orioles, but Seattle's 648 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 2: went not in a row two, which there too, very quietly. 649 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 2: So those are the teams in the American leagues keep 650 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 2: an eye on. I'm still not one hundred percent sold 651 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,639 Speaker 2: on the Twins. I would not be shocked if the 652 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 2: Twins came crashing down to Earth. I would love to 653 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 2: say the White Sox could make a run, but they 654 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 2: just keep constantly tripping over their toes every single chance 655 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 2: they get. In the National League, I think Saint Louis 656 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,880 Speaker 2: Cardinals will be there. I do think that the Phillies 657 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 2: will fade I think the Giants will fade away. And 658 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 2: I think you're looking at a very simple Atlanta, San Diego, 659 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 2: Saint Louis wildcard situation in the National League. The American League, 660 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 2: especially the Central is I think a little bit more 661 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 2: wide open That's where I'd be looking for a lot 662 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,360 Speaker 2: of the attention because right now the wildcard is Tampa. 663 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 2: Boston and then Seattle in Toronto are tied, so that's 664 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 2: gonna be really contested. Can the Seattle young pitchers have 665 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 2: the stamina in the second half then have the innings 666 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 2: total to really compete. That's a big question guys like Logan, 667 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 2: Gilbert and Kirby, and I don't know if we have 668 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,679 Speaker 2: the answer to that. So that's why I think Toronto 669 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 2: still has a shot to be relevant here. 670 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 1: Joe, thank you so much for joining me here today. 671 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 1: It has been an absolute pleasure.
