Speaker 1: last night. So do you come back? I came back
Speaker 1: yesterday morning because you were in South Carolina. I was
Speaker 1: in South Carolina, Charleston was I said that on Friday,
Speaker 1: and then a bunch of people in my ear were like, no,
Speaker 1: he said Fort Lauderdale. I'm like, no, that's part that

Speaker 1: It's all I was in Charleston, South Carolina. How was
Speaker 1: the weather there? Because here, I mean even dating back
Speaker 1: to like Thursday, it like rained every day. Greg, you
Speaker 1: couldn't ask for a better weather in South Carolina. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, you always stand well. That's like I do.
Speaker 1: I that is the number one I think that I
Speaker 1: do well. Thing that Greg does well. The show obviously,
Speaker 1: I think that was good man, that was good. I
Speaker 1: do sand well. I had a great time. It's a
Speaker 1: great Batcher party. I did realize for the first time
Speaker 1: how old I am. I think only been talking about
Speaker 1: it for three years now. It really and I say,
Speaker 1: Greg's fifty years old, and it's like it really hit
Speaker 1: because we were at a bar and it's a popular
Speaker 1: location for bachelor and Matchelar parties. We went to the bar.
Speaker 1: Actually back to back nights on Friday and Saturday. Was
Speaker 1: an awesome bar, awesome rooftop, awesome drinks, pretty reasonably priced.
Speaker 1: And we see these girls. It was like the sashes, right, Like,
Speaker 1: oh so I wanted to introduce our bacheld of their bachelor, right,
Speaker 1: you never know what could haven't wing the bachelor bachelorrette parties? Right?
Speaker 1: Except doesn't surprise me with Greg, except it was not
Speaker 1: a bachelorette party. It was a twenty first birthday party.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, here we got forty
Speaker 1: year old Greg approaching twenty one year old. Thirty one
Speaker 1: year old Greg approaching twenty one year old old. She's like,
Speaker 1: just leave me, like the real ages in there for once, right,
Speaker 1: thirty one year old Greg approaching twenty one year old woman.
Speaker 1: You have so much to leary, Greg. You could have
Speaker 1: talked him so much about life. I could have. I didn't.
Speaker 1: How did that end? Uh? Mostly with us, you know,
Speaker 1: my group just kind of just staring. Oh gosh, there
Speaker 1: was a lot of a lot of start, lots of staring.
Speaker 1: By the third we're all married and engaged, so it
Speaker 1: was all the thirty year olds kind of just staring
Speaker 1: at the new talent that was out there in charm talent. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was great at a great time. A lot of beach,
Speaker 1: A lot of beach for me this weekend, a lot
Speaker 1: of things. You played golf, you know, playing golfer. No,
Speaker 1: I ended up laying on the beach, laying on the
Speaker 1: beach drinking. Yeah, I said at the time that we
Speaker 1: were on the show Friday, I said, Gregg's probably got
Speaker 1: a malbou babery somewhere to say. So I was drinking
Speaker 1: at the time. I was drinking the new very popular map.
Speaker 1: Maybe you know about the White Claws Celtics say, I
Speaker 1: don't like Seltzer, same Spike Seltzers are pretty exactly my man.
Speaker 1: So we took it's a bunch of white colors to
Speaker 1: the beach with us on Friday and I drink a
Speaker 1: few of those. Then on Saturday we took more myke collage,
Speaker 1: like a bunch of those, like a lot on Friday night.
Speaker 1: But Sunday night, Saturday night, made a little speech. You
Speaker 1: know me, I like to like talk who would have thought?
Speaker 1: And I like to write. So I try to get
Speaker 1: all my friends like a speech for their wedding. And
Speaker 1: I gave it to my buddy over the weekend. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's not had a great I had a great weekend.
Speaker 1: How was your weekend? It was pretty good. I mean,
Speaker 1: nothing too crazy going on. I had to go to
Speaker 1: a birthday untild You went to Little Frankie's Italian restaurant.
Speaker 1: Didn't make that name up either, By the way, Yes,
Speaker 1: we went to a restaurant a Little Frankie's. There's another
Speaker 1: restaurant by the same owners, just called frank frank All right.
Speaker 1: Well there you go. Popular name here in New York City.
Speaker 1: But other than that, I mean pretty pretty generic. Lots
Speaker 1: of lots of sports. Watch the Champions League on Saturday,
Speaker 1: watched a lot of baseball yesterday the NBA Finals. Uh,
Speaker 1: it was a great weekend for sports, Craig, it was
Speaker 1: a very fantastic weeknd for sports. But let's start with
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball here. Let's get into fantasy baseball with you, Matt,
Speaker 1: and let's get right in to where the bids were
Speaker 1: this week. The first name I really wanted to ask
Speaker 1: you about. The first two names I wanted to ask
Speaker 1: you about are two pictures. Of course, I was always
Speaker 1: looking for pitching naturally and the young Pictures act Police
Speaker 1: Sac Devin Smeltzer were both up pramidded this weekend. In
Speaker 1: most most leagues, it was Police Sack in the main
Speaker 1: event that went for the most one. He went for
Speaker 1: sixty eight, Devin Smeltzer went for seven dollars. Which one
Speaker 1: would you rather have? I'll take police Sack here. His
Speaker 1: control seems to be elite uh t at earlier seven batteris.
Speaker 1: He's walking on of course double hriple A and MLB
Speaker 1: this year, so he would be the gag. Smeltzer has
Speaker 1: done well this season miners, and he has the one start.
Speaker 1: He's on a fantastic team, so that does boost his
Speaker 1: value somewhat. But I would have went Police set. All right,
Speaker 1: What about you, Frankie, You actually agree with Matt. I
Speaker 1: think you saw the bidding closer than it should have been.
Speaker 1: Because Smeltzer projectives have a double start this week as
Speaker 1: of now, at Cleveland and at Detroit, so that's why
Speaker 1: I think you see the bidding numbers a little bit
Speaker 1: closer than they should be. I actually really like what
Speaker 1: I've seen from Police Sac. I was watching that game yesterday.
Speaker 1: Great game, by the way, Greg, it was Police Act
Speaker 1: versus g Leto pictures duel there Um police Ac had
Speaker 1: eleven swinging strikes in nineties six pitches. Other than that,
Speaker 1: you know, I was watching his mid nineties fastball. Really
Speaker 1: good command as well, works in some breaking pitches. Has
Speaker 1: to change up. But seven endings, four hits, one and
Speaker 1: run one walks, seven strikeouts. Minor league numbers for Zach
Speaker 1: police Act too. I mean, not really a highly regarded prospect,
Speaker 1: but a two point nine nine right in his minor
Speaker 1: league career, two undred thirty eight strikeouts over two hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty three innings pitched. Those are some pretty good
Speaker 1: minor league number. So I do have interest here. And
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Rodriguez got hurt for the Cleveland Indians last week,
Speaker 1: so you know, even once Clevinger starts to come back,
Speaker 1: and if we ever see Klueberg, maybe there's a chance
Speaker 1: police Sax sticks around a little bit here, Greg. So
Speaker 1: I like what I've seen. The minor league numbers for
Speaker 1: for Devin Smeltzer were really good this season, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: at one point eight to e r A in triple A.
Speaker 1: But all the other years I spoke about this last week,
Speaker 1: UM A little bit more skeptical when it comes to uh,
Speaker 1: Devin Devin Smeltzer here. The minor league numbers haven't been
Speaker 1: as great. Kind of a soft tossing, less lefty, you
Speaker 1: can make it work. But I agree with Matt, I
Speaker 1: like I like Police Sack a little bit more. All right,
Speaker 1: So well with you guys. I like Smeltzer, like police,
Speaker 1: police act your guy. He went for the most. As
Speaker 1: I mentioned in the main event, he got picked up
Speaker 1: for a spot start in my league yesterday. I didn't
Speaker 1: pick him up on my home league because I had
Speaker 1: Gleado going in him and you know, the Yankees this week,
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be interesting. It's gonna be interesting. I
Speaker 1: wish I actually fixed at Les sect. But nevertheless, in
Speaker 1: between those two guys in the main event, one more
Speaker 1: picture went for thirty three dollars. Not all that much
Speaker 1: money was spent this week, and that was do Nelson Lamette,
Speaker 1: who is rehabbing. I guess with the padres still rehabing
Speaker 1: as he's on his way back. I'm not really interested
Speaker 1: Latte because I feel he's not really very good. Um
Speaker 1: come on, man, are you interested in Nelson Lamette? I mean,
Speaker 1: right now, it's tough to kind of add him. There's
Speaker 1: other guys, uh, you know, it's maybe obviously naturally only,
Speaker 1: but I'm trying to think I've had a fifteen team
Speaker 1: scenario where you pick him up right now. I know
Speaker 1: the strikeouts are there in the home Bullpark, but I
Speaker 1: think there's other guys out there right now that warrant.
Speaker 1: I'd rather have picked up Mitch Keller, who was sent
Speaker 1: down after the start pitched yesterday. He was effective. I
Speaker 1: think he has the upside to ms Batch as well.
Speaker 1: I think he's better going forward. I think I'll have
Speaker 1: an opportunity at some point soon. So yeah, I'm kind
Speaker 1: of with you on limit. I don't think he's somebody
Speaker 1: to totally ignore, but there's other guys I want right now.
Speaker 1: I can agree with that. And you know, if we're
Speaker 1: just talking about stashing injured pictures, you know, I i'd
Speaker 1: rather have Alex Reyes. I'd rather stash Nathan Vivaldi right now,
Speaker 1: who seems like he's working his way back. Someone that
Speaker 1: I really like coming into the season didn't work out.
Speaker 1: It seems like he's always dealing with injuries. But I
Speaker 1: like stashing Lament Greg probably not for thirty three dollars
Speaker 1: that he went for in the main event. If you
Speaker 1: can afford to. I mean, everyone's got injuries that they're
Speaker 1: dealing with. Uh so if you can't afford to in
Speaker 1: deeper leagues, I do like the stash. This was a
Speaker 1: guy that in the second half of the seventeen mosted
Speaker 1: at three point eight e r A with a caper
Speaker 1: nine over ten ten point three. You know, a lot
Speaker 1: of people were excited about his uh you know, mid
Speaker 1: Nighties Fastball, his shrike out upside um. You know a
Speaker 1: lot of people were drafting him as a maybe you
Speaker 1: know top if he is starting pitcher last year before
Speaker 1: we had to go for Tommy John. But he's made
Speaker 1: one rehab start so far, greg two point two winnings,
Speaker 1: pitched three hits, three earned runs, five strikeouts. Um, so
Speaker 1: he's slowly working his way back. That was in high
Speaker 1: A ball. I would think he probably needs at least
Speaker 1: remore rehab starts, like he'll slowly wait work his way up.
Speaker 1: I like stashing him, probably not for as much. There's
Speaker 1: a few other pictures as well that I have ranked
Speaker 1: ahead of him for stashing, but I don't dislike hate
Speaker 1: it stashing him right now, Okay, she's one of the guys.
Speaker 1: She's take a shot on a little bit later on
Speaker 1: we picked him up in the g d D fifteen team.
Speaker 1: We didn't, and I didn't tell you. He did not
Speaker 1: tell me that he is actually amazing, because Franks like, hey,
Speaker 1: did you gotta know? But I actually did tell you
Speaker 1: that we won Lament today. But I just think you
Speaker 1: didn't react to it because I heard Cooper that we
Speaker 1: wanted a second I sent you a screen shadow of
Speaker 1: all of our bids last night. I did not, but
Speaker 1: he was on that list, and I saw Cooper, I
Speaker 1: know we got we got Colm, we got Colum, we
Speaker 1: got Colin Moran as well. That's pretty cool. I'm excited
Speaker 1: about that, he said Lament. I thought you said, like,
Speaker 1: please sack No. I wish that would be great. I
Speaker 1: did not know that he's Oh god, all right. Speaking
Speaker 1: of Yett Cooper, we both now own him at you
Speaker 1: owed him in the mad at twenty three dollars. I
Speaker 1: feel like because we're all friendly with non No, like
Speaker 1: you have to like Garrett Cooper. I think that's the
Speaker 1: only reason we both own him at this point. Now.
Speaker 1: I'll also give your new addition Greg Mitch a shout
Speaker 1: out here. He's been pumping him up on Twitter. Too. Look,
Speaker 1: you guys been he has an opportunity on this team,
Speaker 1: and uh, he's hitting the ball hard. He's hitting some
Speaker 1: home runs. I mean unless he totally falls on his face.
Speaker 1: I don't see him leaving this lineup anytime soon. He
Speaker 1: should hit in the heart of it. So you know,
Speaker 1: with Joey Gallo going down, I got him. I got
Speaker 1: him in this league, I got him in in another
Speaker 1: league where I needed to fill that core position. Uh well,
Speaker 1: his outfield now, but eventually I'm hoping to slat him there.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know you're gonna need to look to
Speaker 1: you know, re replace guys when they get injured, and
Speaker 1: this guy has a legitimate shut. Yes. Since returning from
Speaker 1: injury for Garrett Cooper from May eleventh on, great to
Speaker 1: eight six batting average, three sixty three O b P,
Speaker 1: four home runs, fourteen runs scored, thirteen r b I
Speaker 1: s uh. And you know, I'll say this about the
Speaker 1: Marlins lineup. They picked it up recently with him coming
Speaker 1: back and Harold Ramirez hitting well and jorgeil Farrow hitting well.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know that Miami is going to
Speaker 1: be moving forward. This team that we were streaming against
Speaker 1: every single start that we were in the past. If
Speaker 1: you look over the past seven days, the Miami Marlins
Speaker 1: seven s ops as a team that puts them right
Speaker 1: in the middle of the pack in baseball. There sixteen
Speaker 1: during that stretch in team OPS. So you know, Garrett
Speaker 1: Cooper coming around hitting well at the top of that order,
Speaker 1: you know, batting second most of the time, solid batting
Speaker 1: average o b P. There's well, hits the ball really hard,
Speaker 1: hard hit rate during the span from May eleven on,
Speaker 1: but does hit a lot of groundball, So I would
Speaker 1: like from the lift the ball a little bit more,
Speaker 1: but hitting for good batting average and to offer some
Speaker 1: pop as well. So you know, I think I believe
Speaker 1: in YAHOO he has corner infield eligibility and outfield so
Speaker 1: might have even a little bit more value there. But yeah,
Speaker 1: in deeper leagues, Garret Cooper should be own. Gregg Para, North,
Speaker 1: Carrick Cooper playing well right now, both Craig miss Nan,
Speaker 1: No Matt and frank all over this guy. I think
Speaker 1: the Vantage community has found some love runs again for
Speaker 1: Garrett Cooper. But the man that everybody's talking about right now,
Speaker 1: Frankie is Miles Straw. For his speed. You want him
Speaker 1: the Native Man for twelve bucks. You were ecstatic last
Speaker 1: night to win Miles Straw. For those who don't know
Speaker 1: about him, I want you to tell us about it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I spoke about him at length on Friday with
Speaker 1: with Craig Mitch who he was actually really really excited
Speaker 1: about Miles Straw. He kind of talked me into him,
Speaker 1: and then you know, we got a glimpse of it
Speaker 1: yesterday and I tweeted this, he makes fast people look
Speaker 1: not so fast. I mean three stolen bases yesterday. You
Speaker 1: see him running the bases and I mean he's just electric.
Speaker 1: So um, it's electric. There you go, Greg, Uh, I
Speaker 1: lost the Gordon, so I've been I've been looking to
Speaker 1: replace some speed for now. I wasn't expecting to win
Speaker 1: him for twelve dollars. It's a little bit bitter sweet
Speaker 1: because I was happy to get him, but unfortunately Mett
Speaker 1: Moodico was the backup bid for ten dollars. I beat
Speaker 1: him out by two bucks. So I felt a little
Speaker 1: bit bad for you there, Matt. But this guy's speed
Speaker 1: is absolutely legit and the hit tool is there as well. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's you know three batting average all levels in the
Speaker 1: minors seventy stolen bases last year. I worry about the
Speaker 1: long term, but what do we say on Friday, Matt
Speaker 1: You want to win week till week at this point
Speaker 1: in the season, and that's what I'm trying to do.
Speaker 1: So we had the long term term concerns for Miles Straw,
Speaker 1: but for the time being, it looks like he's going
Speaker 1: to at least provide batting average and stolen bases. How
Speaker 1: do you feel about Miles Straw? Yeah, I got him
Speaker 1: in two other leagues for ten dollars each. This ten
Speaker 1: dollar bit obviously failed. And you know when you show
Speaker 1: me he did yesterday in league, you had to put
Speaker 1: some sort of a bid. I'm not saying crazy. He
Speaker 1: went into my you know, satellite high shooting nobody people
Speaker 1: that are very successful in all right, we'll take a
Speaker 1: break here when we come back. More on the Waiver
Speaker 1: Wire with Maddie mo Deco. Also take a look and

Speaker 1: used that, So correct me if I'm wrong, Frank, Please,
Speaker 1: I will try. It's like I L and D O
Speaker 1: it is, you know, it's kind of the interchangeable. Yeah. Uh,
Speaker 1: we got breaking news, Greg Rancisco. You don't like this?
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, this is relevant, Gregg? Is it just? Yes?
Speaker 1: It is. Rancisco is being recalled by the Baltimore Orioles.
Speaker 1: And I'm hoping that this is a sign of things
Speaker 1: to come because I've been talking to Ryan mount Castle
Speaker 1: for a while and he hit three home runs yesterday
Speaker 1: in the minors, and I actually picked him up in
Speaker 1: one of my home leagues to stasch him. So I'm
Speaker 1: hoping as the season goes along, we start to get
Speaker 1: more of these youngsters up for the Baltimore Orioles specifically.
Speaker 1: Now we got Cisco, and I'm hoping that we can
Speaker 1: get Ryan mount Castle and Austin Hayes uh sooner rather
Speaker 1: than later. But Francisco in the minors this year was
Speaker 1: hitting two eight nine with ten home runs and ops.
Speaker 1: I think it's worth mentioning because we do have some
Speaker 1: catcher injuries. Buster Posey is hurt, godd Ear Molina is
Speaker 1: hurt as well, so, you know, to catcher leagues, we're
Speaker 1: trying to find these guys. I think Rancisco has a
Speaker 1: little bit of pop obviously, hits in a good ballpark
Speaker 1: as well. Matt, any interest in Francisco, Yeah, and two
Speaker 1: catcher leagues, Yeah, I think he's somebody, do you, Matt.
Speaker 1: Everyone will have an eye on due to the you know,
Speaker 1: unfortunate situation that is the catcher position, and Cisco is
Speaker 1: like the ultimate spring training minor league guy where he
Speaker 1: goes off there, hopefully this time at the majors. He
Speaker 1: gets the opportunity and uh, you know produces him. Chance
Speaker 1: Cisco back in our hearts. Now you are in the
Speaker 1: major leagues. Thank you, thank you, Chance, thank you. All right,
Speaker 1: other players that you guys added this week, and I
Speaker 1: want to be quickly. We have a lot to get
Speaker 1: to you, not a lot of time to do it.
Speaker 1: Um Matt Weaders the other second catcher, eighteen bucks. He
Speaker 1: went four in the main event, and our guy Eric
Speaker 1: Dames in the main event here, Frank, Yeah, with Matt Weaders,
Speaker 1: he's actually hit well since Scottia Molina has gone down
Speaker 1: with this injury. Uh he started, you know, four of
Speaker 1: the last five games for the St. Louis Cardinals, obviously
Speaker 1: a really good lineup as well, he said, two home
Speaker 1: runs during that span. He has two multi hit games.
Speaker 1: So again we're talking about to catcher leagues, deeper leagues
Speaker 1: where people might have lost out here Molina, Matt Weeders
Speaker 1: flashing some of that offensive upside we used to think
Speaker 1: that he had, but maybe this is what he needed.
Speaker 1: So there for the for the St. Louis Cardlinos and
Speaker 1: then Eric Thames. I mean, look, Hagar is just an
Speaker 1: absolute mess. I mean you can drop Agilar anywhere. And
Speaker 1: you know, Eric Thames had a big game over the
Speaker 1: weekend as well, you know, cheap exposures to the Milwaukee
Speaker 1: Brewer's lineup. But uh yeah, it's been a it's been
Speaker 1: a messy season for Hazer Taglar and you know, maybe
Speaker 1: we get more consistent playing time from Eric Thames moving forward. Maddie,
Speaker 1: you have anything on those guys For Thames, I'll say this,
Speaker 1: the opportunity might be there. I still kind of think
Speaker 1: that it might be Travis Shure, who's you know, getting
Speaker 1: the left handed at bats at first base. I can't
Speaker 1: see Milwaukee. I know they mentioned maybe promoting Kissing Hi
Speaker 1: can't the guy's name, but I don't see that happening.
Speaker 1: I think they need that kid right now, so I
Speaker 1: can sure as so, I don't know how that's gonna
Speaker 1: play out. Yeah, why would the demote Kesting here? Because
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy is just getting hot now, so
Speaker 1: why would you Why would you mess with that? I
Speaker 1: mean a two eighty one batting average for hera five homers,
Speaker 1: nine ribbies, one stolen base. So yeah, something to pay
Speaker 1: attention to Travis Shaw is was he performing as badly
Speaker 1: as he was early in the season, because he was
Speaker 1: dealing with the risk injury. I mean that that might
Speaker 1: have been part of it. Um, you know he was
Speaker 1: he was back to back seasons with thirty home runs
Speaker 1: and we thought that he was actually pretty safe for
Speaker 1: the power. But clearly something was not right from So
Speaker 1: give him time to rest up. If he comes back,
Speaker 1: maybe he gets some time at first base worked into
Speaker 1: that mix with Eric Thames and hass Aglar Greggy. Eric
Speaker 1: Thames over the past two weeks betting three hundred with
Speaker 1: two homers, eight runs scored six RBIs himself again in
Speaker 1: deeper leagues. If you felt for the trap that was
Speaker 1: Hayes's agil and you need a first baseman fifteen team
Speaker 1: roto and only if a guy like Eric Thames was
Speaker 1: out there, I get trying to take a shot on him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: absolutely no, no question about that. Um, you should be out.
Speaker 1: I mean, you see, the playing time ultimately is there
Speaker 1: and uh and we'll see what happens. I wonder one
Speaker 1: of the two star pitchers managed anybody else guys you
Speaker 1: want to talk about there picked up this week that
Speaker 1: was worth mentioning. Uh, well, I was gonna reference Chase Anderson,
Speaker 1: but we'll get to him for the for the two
Speaker 1: star pitchers and uh Addison Russell. Obviously we've been we've
Speaker 1: been talking a lot about him. He went for thirty
Speaker 1: eight dollars in my Great Fantasy base momentation and pretty
Speaker 1: much saw him added in a bunch of deep leagues
Speaker 1: this week for people who lost Carlos Correa or need
Speaker 1: a middle infielder for some pop. I think that makes
Speaker 1: a lot of sense a name that I've been seeing
Speaker 1: get picked up multiple locations. Actually matt was Tim la
Speaker 1: Castro of the Arizona Diamondbacks and good, good batting average
Speaker 1: source in the minor leagues. Gets the bat on the ball,
Speaker 1: doesn't strike out all that much, has sneaky speed as well.
Speaker 1: He's been playing, you know recently for the Arizona Diamonbacks.
Speaker 1: He has five stone based on the season with a
Speaker 1: two eighty nine batting average. Um, what do you know
Speaker 1: about Tim Lacastro? Did you have any bids on him?
Speaker 1: And te like he's really just batting average and maybe
Speaker 1: some modest speed as well. I got him for like
Speaker 1: a buck or show in multiple leagues, Uh, places where
Speaker 1: I didn't get um straw. I thought, you know, he
Speaker 1: was somebody that can provide you with the speed. It's
Speaker 1: just tough in Arizona right now. Parolta is coming back,
Speaker 1: they're saying without a rehabsitant. They do have a d
Speaker 1: H this weekend. But I think Lacastro, if he plays,
Speaker 1: you can get you stolen bases as well. So I
Speaker 1: got him for pretty much nothing, you know, with guys
Speaker 1: that I could afford to say goodbye to, and we'll
Speaker 1: see what happens. Yeah, it's a pretty crowded I'll feel there.
Speaker 1: You referenced David Paul's gonna get back at some point
Speaker 1: for them. Uh so do we see Lacastro maybe in
Speaker 1: center spending time with Draw Dyson or spending time with
Speaker 1: Adam Jones. So it is something to pay attention to
Speaker 1: for now. Great, but that was someone that I saw,
Speaker 1: you know, getting added in deeper leagues this week because
Speaker 1: everyone's trying to find speed as usual. Yep. Absolutely always
Speaker 1: looking for speed, always looking for an oportunity to find
Speaker 1: a steel. That's why I picked at Malex Smith in
Speaker 1: the league. Frankie, Oh, Greg, you're coming around, let's go.
Speaker 1: I picked him up for you know what, because it's
Speaker 1: only four games today, So I picked him up last night,
Speaker 1: thinking at the extra game to that, of course he's
Speaker 1: gonna stay on your team forever. What You're gonna stay
Speaker 1: on your team forever? I heard, Yeah, you don't Alex
Speaker 1: Smith now coming around, I don't know that I'll be
Speaker 1: on my team like like sixtlen Bases last week. Well,
Speaker 1: let's let's hope for a couple of tomorrow. I'm just
Speaker 1: waiting for that point sometime this season when you say
Speaker 1: that you were wrong about Malex Sman, Well, we'll see, Frankie,
Speaker 1: my guy. I don't know how I became. I didn't
Speaker 1: even sign up to be the Malex Smith supporter, but
Speaker 1: it just happened organically. You are man, You absolutely are
Speaker 1: all right. You mentioned to start pitchers this week, we
Speaker 1: look pat Devin Smeltzer a little while ago. Let's get
Speaker 1: into Chase Anderson O the Milwaukee Brewers coming off okay
Speaker 1: out in here against Pittsburgh. To start pitcher this week
Speaker 1: is Chase Anderson and he's facing Miami and Pittsburgh. Matt
Speaker 1: those are two very very tasty matchups. Yeah, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go with Anderson here for the to start matchup. Based
Speaker 1: and all that, one thing I would recommend you look
Speaker 1: at if you're in a quality start league, I don't
Speaker 1: know if he's gonna get you at six innings. Uh
Speaker 1: So i'd be a little careful there. But in a
Speaker 1: wins league or you know, just regular, I'm gonna, I'm gonna,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play him for this double bit. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think in deeper leagues, I'm all right with it. In
Speaker 1: fifteen teamers, that's mostly where I was seeing him being
Speaker 1: added this past uh this past weekend. But look at
Speaker 1: his last five starts. He hasn't a lot more than
Speaker 1: three runs and any of those. He also hasn't got
Speaker 1: more than five innings in any of those, So he's
Speaker 1: he's pitching better as of late. Two pretty solid matchups
Speaker 1: here against the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Miami Marlins. I
Speaker 1: think that's why most people are looking at him. Greg
Speaker 1: is solely for the matchups here. Understandable. The matchics are
Speaker 1: don't really get really much better, And I think this
Speaker 1: is how they maximize Chase Anderson's potential is you don't
Speaker 1: let him go that deep into games. You don't let
Speaker 1: him go third time through the order, So you see
Speaker 1: him a lot of times five innings, four innings, four
Speaker 1: and two thirds around there, So just keep that in mind.
Speaker 1: MAT's right about you know, if if you play in
Speaker 1: a quality start league or you get a bonus for
Speaker 1: quality starts, you're more than likely not gonna get that
Speaker 1: out of Chase Anderson. Are you starting Pablo Limpez year
Speaker 1: this week? Matt in fifteen teamers, If I don't have
Speaker 1: a better option, I will. I love the kid long term.
Speaker 1: I'm terrified of the Miller Park start. I think that
Speaker 1: can really go wrong for him. He has the start
Speaker 1: home versus road splits. Uh, it's not just the luck
Speaker 1: on the babbit and the left on base percentage. It's
Speaker 1: also he's got a much better strike ap percentage at
Speaker 1: home than on the road, and even better control. So
Speaker 1: and it's not like at Lanta is a cupcake coal
Speaker 1: at home, even though at home he did pitch like
Speaker 1: six or seven and he's one run ball verse. I'm
Speaker 1: already this year still a tough matchup, So it's basically
Speaker 1: fifteen teamer if I have no better option having on
Speaker 1: the up right now, Greggy g s t Yeah, we
Speaker 1: have him in. Our other options are Joe Muscro at
Speaker 1: home against Atlanta and Spencer Turnbull at home against Tampa Bay,
Speaker 1: Maddie Mo, would you start either of those guys of
Speaker 1: our Papulo Lopez? I figured I do. I'm starting him.
Speaker 1: I have him on my bench in a fifteen team league,
Speaker 1: and I don't think my partner he brought the question
Speaker 1: up before we came on air. Um, I have have
Speaker 1: Matt and Stroman there. I like those matchups, better matches,
Speaker 1: gotta really good. He's a much better picture at home.
Speaker 1: Put it that. We just get the splits, you know,
Speaker 1: the e r A is night and day, the strike
Speaker 1: ap percentage and stuff. So look, I'm just really worried
Speaker 1: about the Lopez road start at Miller Park. Stuff. I
Speaker 1: can avoid that. And like I said, it's not a
Speaker 1: cupcake matchup. First the Braves, all right, So now we
Speaker 1: gotta figure out Greggy Joe Musko over Spencer Turnbull. I
Speaker 1: was leaning Turnbull. Is that crazy? Yeah? I mean, just
Speaker 1: going up against Tampa Bay, like the Razors scrappy lineup.
Speaker 1: They've been pretty good against right handed pitching so far
Speaker 1: this year. Turn Will just been inconsistent, right, so you
Speaker 1: know the starts that you want them for the two
Speaker 1: start week against the Marlins and the Mats. He like
Speaker 1: struggles through both of those starts, and then last week
Speaker 1: I bench him against Atlanta and he ends up throwing
Speaker 1: a quality start. So it's just been it's been a
Speaker 1: mixed bag for Turnbull. It's been really hard to figure
Speaker 1: out when to use him and when not to. So
Speaker 1: just something we'll have to discuss further. But I don't
Speaker 1: really love the match up against Tampa Bay. It seems
Speaker 1: like they can go off at any time. Randomly, they
Speaker 1: could have, but they lost like six in a row,
Speaker 1: right Bay, Yeah, I tell you, I know they can
Speaker 1: go off at any time, but they've been really cold
Speaker 1: as three in a row, three rows they got. They
Speaker 1: got swell by the twins. Yeah, they got swept twins.
Speaker 1: They had lost a bunch in a Roman or really
Speaker 1: over the last ten to have from six and four
Speaker 1: in their last time. Okay, so before that they were
Speaker 1: very good. I prefer the match with a raise the Raves.
Speaker 1: I don't know so Tampa Bay over the last week
Speaker 1: as a team, offensively, they have eight oh seven o
Speaker 1: p s, which is tenth in Baseball, whereas the Atlanta
Speaker 1: Braves are baseball with a six seventy nine. So you
Speaker 1: can kind of go with like who's hot, Who's not
Speaker 1: right now. I mean, things are obviously gonna change by
Speaker 1: the time they get to those matchups. But the Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay Rays line up, at least over the past week,
Speaker 1: has been hotter than the Atlanta Braves. So but I
Speaker 1: guess you can argue that Spencer Turnbull has been more
Speaker 1: consistent than Joe must Grove, which breaks my heart to say,
Speaker 1: Matt Raft must grove, g sit too, must grove. Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: all right, Um, what do you start pictures on this list? Rank?
Speaker 1: I'm almost positively is a two star pitcher because we
Speaker 1: said this is the end for us, and that's John Lester.
Speaker 1: Matt John Leicster has struggled mightily significantly since coming off
Speaker 1: the I L and the matches have gotten worse for him.
Speaker 1: But we said this is kind of the end for
Speaker 1: Lester if he didn't produce, And this week I believe
Speaker 1: Lester is a two star picture and he faces awful.
Speaker 1: Let me get it up. John Lester faces off against
Speaker 1: the Angels today and then St. Louis the Angels and
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. He's starting John Lester, I'm sorry, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: for me, I've I don't really want to. I think
Speaker 1: these peripherals pretty much speak to the picture he is
Speaker 1: he got by in a twelve team league. No, it's
Speaker 1: a it's I'm gonna have better options here in a
Speaker 1: fifteen teamer. Once again, it comes into play. If I
Speaker 1: need to catch up in wins, I'll take the gamble
Speaker 1: that they can take down the Angels today. So maybe
Speaker 1: I go that route. But even if I am starting him,
Speaker 1: it's not confidently. So I think you got the best
Speaker 1: of John Lester, you know over these first two months
Speaker 1: that you're gonna see. Yeah, he's allowed at least four
Speaker 1: earned runs in each of his past three stars and
Speaker 1: he's faced the Astros, the Phillies, and the Nationals. So
Speaker 1: not the easiest starts here, Matt. Earlier on in the year,
Speaker 1: I apologize to John Lester for uh for talking him
Speaker 1: down throughout draft season, and then last week I came
Speaker 1: on and said that he needs to call into the
Speaker 1: show and apologize to me. Maybe you jump the gun
Speaker 1: on the air because you know the swinging strike rate.
Speaker 1: You know, just is very talented with him and stuff.
Speaker 1: He's on a very good team. You know that the
Speaker 1: Cubs are very good. They've got that slow start that
Speaker 1: first week or so, but you know they've been one
Speaker 1: of the better teams in MLB since that point. So
Speaker 1: look for wind chasing. I can kind of see it.
Speaker 1: He can give you five innings or so, get you
Speaker 1: into the six and pick up a win. But you know,
Speaker 1: I think it will come out. Of course, do you
Speaker 1: race here? Okay? So not feeling great about John Lesson
Speaker 1: this week? I feel better. This is it, man, this
Speaker 1: is it for me. I told you I'm starting just
Speaker 1: left the guy. I told you I was starting him
Speaker 1: this week. If it's if it's over, it's over. By
Speaker 1: the way that it was talking about the dropping people,
Speaker 1: and I saw you tweet about it last week. Have
Speaker 1: you dropped forest with everywhere? Yeah? I had to. It's
Speaker 1: most unfortunate. I picked him up on one league not
Speaker 1: two months ago. I wasn't fad, but I thought he
Speaker 1: would kind of start around. But once they shut him
Speaker 1: down for this for a shoulder issue, you just you
Speaker 1: just can't hold on anymore. Where it's already June. I
Speaker 1: thought the plan was to bring him up in mid June,
Speaker 1: but that's obviously not the case. He hasn't earned it. Ultimately,
Speaker 1: he's clearly dealing with something right now. He's got an
Speaker 1: e r A over twelve and triple A. Understand that.
Speaker 1: And you know in PCL and in the minors it's
Speaker 1: you know, you've seen this huge jumping home runs like
Speaker 1: we have seen in the majors. But I mean, to
Speaker 1: have a twelve e r A, there's got to be
Speaker 1: something going on there, Greg, So it doesn't surprise me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you're playing a league where you don't actually have
Speaker 1: minor league spots, I don't really see how you can
Speaker 1: hold on someome for now. So I held him all
Speaker 1: year in the pit league. Do you have him but
Speaker 1: we don't have minor league spots? I know? Wow? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think especially in a daily Transactionally, Greg, I'm surprised
Speaker 1: that you held him this long. They did, but not anymore.
Speaker 1: I'm ready to drop him off. I mean that you
Speaker 1: gained another streaming spot. Well, let me ask you this, Matt.
Speaker 1: Another two start pictures for this week. Corbin Martin, the
Speaker 1: astro starter, faces Seattle and faces the Orioles. He's available
Speaker 1: in my league? Do I pick him up? Like he's
Speaker 1: been very disappointing. I think he's allowed twenty peace runners
Speaker 1: over sixteen and a thirty innings so far this season.
Speaker 1: And I wrote in my article. I have nothing outside
Speaker 1: of the astros are good to substantiate any reasoning for
Speaker 1: starting him. But I'm actually in a deeper league in
Speaker 1: a team I would start him. I think that the
Speaker 1: possibility for wins. I think he's better picture than what
Speaker 1: he's shown to date. Gonna get to that five innings,
Speaker 1: I think, So I gamble on this it in deeper leagues. Well,
Speaker 1: team or Greg, what are you doing picking its four team? Right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but the roster spots aren't that deep you're picking them up.
Speaker 1: I was toying with the idea of streaming him today
Speaker 1: as well, So when you brought him up, I ran
Speaker 1: over here and I'm like looking at him, like should
Speaker 1: I pick up? So I was about to do it,
Speaker 1: but ultimately one person on this list I'm really rooting against.
Speaker 1: Who's that? That's uh, Jennis Cabrera. I'm hoping that he
Speaker 1: gets lit up tomorrow Alex rays on something. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: they've already talked about potentially promoting Alex Reyes next weekend, Gregy,
Speaker 1: so that would basically be in line for Genesis. Cabrera's
Speaker 1: second start, so he faces Seattle in his first start
Speaker 1: at Cincinnati in his next one, so We'll see what
Speaker 1: happens there. Genesis Cabrera actually someone that Craig Miss was
Speaker 1: talking up saying that you know he's He's actually watched
Speaker 1: him before and has some strike out upside, but hasn't
Speaker 1: necessarily come to fruition yet. So we'll see what happens
Speaker 1: with Cabrera. He gets rocked. Maybe we see Olex race
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Now we appreciate the time, man, Let's
Speaker 1: do it again next week. Got gentlemen. Matt Modigo from

Speaker 1: everybody this weekend Rose in Charleston, bud that my best
Speaker 1: bets forever they're on, Like I am, I'm feeling good
Speaker 1: about this. In Fuego, so it was Friday, and my
Speaker 1: buddies like, who you like? Like, this is crazy? But
Speaker 1: if I if I have to pick three teams, I
Speaker 1: texted you this while you're on the air, I'm like
Speaker 1: the Lock of the Night, whereas my buddies put the
Speaker 1: Whale of the night. It's the Twins. I loved the twin.
Speaker 1: What does whale mean? Greg? Like, think about a kind
Speaker 1: of betting term that I don't know. It's like a
Speaker 1: huge fish, a huge wind. It's like a guarantee. You're
Speaker 1: like you're shoeing your big pick. Yeah. Sure. So the
Speaker 1: well was Jose Burrios as an underdog on Friday Night.
Speaker 1: I get he's facing Tampa. I understand that on the road,
Speaker 1: on the road, you seem to get good you seem
Speaker 1: to get good value even when you have good pictures
Speaker 1: on the road. Correct exactly. I love Burrios as an underdog.
Speaker 1: He pitched well enough twins score in the eighth went
Speaker 1: on a wind that was my well and I loved it.
Speaker 1: Other picks I liked not as much. For I light
Speaker 1: and did a Frank theory. Oh I took Andrew Kashner
Speaker 1: and the Oh's they won, all right, I know he
Speaker 1: got blown up. What he won is there in San
Speaker 1: Francisco Bays and Drew palmerans who was worse. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: so as you cash the one that was two and out.
Speaker 1: And my third pick, which I lost, it was in
Speaker 1: Miami Marlins. I love the Caleb Smith every time. So
Speaker 1: the next night the only one I liked, so I
Speaker 1: didn't really take too much time to look at it.
Speaker 1: On Saturday night, I really like jose Urania of the
Speaker 1: Marlins and went back to the Marlin as well. It
Speaker 1: worked at many Marlins are hot, so I feel good.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm on a roll with my picks,
Speaker 1: and that's why I wanted to get into the Fantasy
Speaker 1: best Bets Forever Wolves take a look. Obviously, at Game three,
Speaker 1: some of the lines when it comes to the NBA
Speaker 1: as well. So take you a look at the sports
Speaker 1: book today. We'll use the FanDuel sports book just for fun.
Speaker 1: Do you could play I don't know when the sports
Speaker 1: poott dot com. Look at today's lines, Frankie, you got
Speaker 1: the Angels and the Cubs. Angels using opener is Felix painting.
Speaker 1: If evena I believe so, I would, I would imagine
Speaker 1: that when whenever there's an open Felix, I don't have
Speaker 1: more people. Uh so may yeah, so today's day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: today's day. So it's Felix pain mostly against John Lester. Correct,
Speaker 1: now this is your thing? This according to Yah, who's
Speaker 1: not supposed special Tuesday. First. Second, No, he's not suspicial Tuesday.
Speaker 1: I don't know these piction today throws in his opening.
Speaker 1: We know that for sure. Yes, let me feed the
Speaker 1: book all right. Let me see here CBS Sports as
Speaker 1: Camp Droser will serve as the opener, and Trevor k
Speaker 1: Hill going for the Angels. They're using the opener for
Speaker 1: Trevor Kile. You're using an opener to for Trevor Kallee tonight.
Speaker 1: So they're the heavy underdog against Kale's fourteen one of
Speaker 1: his former teams, these Chicago Cubs. Now John Lester has
Speaker 1: been awful. The overunder year is nine. Cubs are a
Speaker 1: pretty heavy favorite. What do you think of this? I
Speaker 1: don't really love this game overall. I think it's kind
Speaker 1: of hard to get a lean here, Greg, because again
Speaker 1: you mentioned it. Lester has an been great, but can
Speaker 1: he buckle down against the Angels here? Trevor Khill hasn't
Speaker 1: been great either, so maybe we're looking at the total here,
Speaker 1: but it's a little bit elevated at nine, So ultimately
Speaker 1: I just don't feel confident either way. This is probably
Speaker 1: a game that I wouldn't touch this overall, but there's
Speaker 1: really only value if you go with the Angels like
Speaker 1: the Cubs money line at minus one sixty eight, Like
Speaker 1: I probably just wouldn't be What are that total of nine?
Speaker 1: Would you go over? That got into my head? Probably,
Speaker 1: but you don't love it. I don't love this game. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right? We got the Dodgers and d Backs and
Speaker 1: then't even riding the Robbie Rags train is late, Ray
Speaker 1: the d Backs hit it on the Dodgers and Walker
Speaker 1: Bueller the Dodgers already favorite, not a heavy favorite. On
Speaker 1: the road minus one forty eight over under sits at
Speaker 1: eight and a half. Frank Bueller's pitched well, raised been Ray.
Speaker 1: How do you see this one? Yeah? So Walker Bueller
Speaker 1: actually turned to season round in the month of maybe
Speaker 1: point nine zero e r A across thirty one endings
Speaker 1: pitched And you know what I was just saying about,
Speaker 1: you can get aces on the road and you can
Speaker 1: get pretty good value. You. That's exactly what happing about
Speaker 1: for the next two games that we're gonna discuss here.
Speaker 1: That's the Dodgers in the Diamondbacks and the Philly is
Speaker 1: going up against the Podres. So I do like the
Speaker 1: Dodgers at minus one eight money line. The total is
Speaker 1: tricky because they could see Robbie Ray getting blown up
Speaker 1: by the Dodgers here, so wouldn't surprise me if it
Speaker 1: went over here. But then the number that I really
Speaker 1: do like is the Dodgers money line at minus You
Speaker 1: gotta lay some juice obviously here, but I feel pretty
Speaker 1: confident that the Dodgers can win tonight against Robbie Ray
Speaker 1: with the The only thing I wonder is maybe we
Speaker 1: take the run line at one and a half, right
Speaker 1: if they win by two against Robbie Right. I should
Speaker 1: Dodgers put up some runs in Arizona. I kind of
Speaker 1: like the run line here, like you should never touch
Speaker 1: the spread in baseball. Where's the thing I want and half?
Speaker 1: I'm getting Walker Bueller in h way love that plus
Speaker 1: one twelve. I'm getting a plus money now. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: that's why I think it's worth it. I see the
Speaker 1: logic behind it. Yeah, but when the Dodgers win like
Speaker 1: five for tonight, you're gonna be so pissede trying to
Speaker 1: get greedy. This is definitely me getting greedy. I like
Speaker 1: the run line here with Walker Bugleer plus one twelve
Speaker 1: and might is one and a half. All right, we'll
Speaker 1: see what the props are here. How about Walker Bueller
Speaker 1: over five and a half strikeouts, greggy, Let's see what
Speaker 1: he's been doing. Well, I mentioned what he did in
Speaker 1: the in the month of May. I want the nine
Speaker 1: zero year. No, I know that. I want the game
Speaker 1: lot though, so over five strike as at over five
Speaker 1: and a half. He hasn't had less than five and
Speaker 1: a half since April in a game. The Diamondbacks are
Speaker 1: in the middle of the pack against right handed pitching
Speaker 1: when it comes to strikeout right there. Twenty three percent
Speaker 1: strikeout rate, so five and a half it's a good number. Well,
Speaker 1: you get it at minus team like that. So if
Speaker 1: you think Bueller is gonna have a good game, why
Speaker 1: don't you just you can parlay the over for Walker
Speaker 1: Bueller strikes tonight five and a half with the with
Speaker 1: the money line in the game. You get that together
Speaker 1: at Oh you can't do that, Well you do it,
Speaker 1: won't you do it? Well you do it separately. Then hey,
Speaker 1: if you want to do the if you want to
Speaker 1: do the run spread at minus one and a half
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers and then walking Peeler over five and
Speaker 1: a half, you just think the Dodgers dominate tonight over
Speaker 1: five and a half strikeouts. I like that. I like
Speaker 1: that too. You do this all over the Vandal Sports book. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's you click on If you click on more, you
Speaker 1: can see like all these different kind of props. I
Speaker 1: have a bunch of crazy stuff here. Actually, Greg, where's
Speaker 1: the more? Frank? Is it all? You mean? Maybe? Okay?
Speaker 1: But yeah, you can actually like to someone to hit
Speaker 1: a home run tonight. You can definitely do that. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: hit a home run, to hit a home run and
Speaker 1: win the game. So like Cody Bellinger to hit a
Speaker 1: home run and the Dodgers are you better? Awesome? Yeah? Right?
Speaker 1: And I like that you predicting someone to hit a
Speaker 1: home run. What about I'm not gonna get rich doing
Speaker 1: that was interesting. Robbie Ray, his strike ats over under
Speaker 1: is actually more than Buelers at six and a half.
Speaker 1: Well that makes sense though, we just were over strike
Speaker 1: a picture. But Dodgers strike out as much as the
Speaker 1: Backs too. That's a good question. Let's pull it up.
Speaker 1: So against the left handed pitching this year, the Dodgers
Speaker 1: have a one percent strikeout rate, which is twenty second,
Speaker 1: so they actually don't strike out all that much against
Speaker 1: left handed pitch. Like the under man was crazy early, right,
Speaker 1: so he will You're knock gonna have before he gets there.
Speaker 1: It's not a bad idea. Well, what do you get
Speaker 1: the under it? So the under six and a half strikeouts,
Speaker 1: the under six and a half strikeouts Robbie Ray plus
Speaker 1: one fourteen. Now, Robbie Ray, what's the game log telling?
Speaker 1: How about this? In three of his last four starts,
Speaker 1: Robbie Ray has been under six and a half strikeouts.
Speaker 1: I think you found it, Craig. I think I found
Speaker 1: it Frank plus one four team Roberluser, and that's what
Speaker 1: we're doing. Sports like that, and I like I like
Speaker 1: the Dodgers money line as well. Run line, Frank, just
Speaker 1: run line, run line tonight, get them get the plus
Speaker 1: money alright, Phillies and Padres. Later on Eric Loer on
Speaker 1: the mound facing Aaron Nola Phillies or minus one forty
Speaker 1: in San Diego, who have been struggling here as of
Speaker 1: late over under there seven and a half fronds, which
Speaker 1: also seems low to me. Yeah, it is really low.
Speaker 1: And Arnola hasn't been himself so far this year, and
Speaker 1: unlike Walker Bueller, he's kind of turned around, but not
Speaker 1: to the same extent in the month of May two
Speaker 1: point seven three e r A. But it feels like
Speaker 1: he's just been shaky still. He hasn't necessarily been himself.
Speaker 1: Forty two strikeouts in thirty three innings pitched, and I
Speaker 1: I get why the total is what it is, Greg
Speaker 1: because when I looked into Lower I was actually surprised
Speaker 1: to see that he's really only been blown up once
Speaker 1: this year, and that was in Colorado, So he's actually
Speaker 1: pitched pretty well. Is going up against a different Beast
Speaker 1: tonight in the in the Philadelphia Philly. So I think
Speaker 1: they're trying to sucker me in there, I will say overthinking.
Speaker 1: But I do like the Phillies money line at at
Speaker 1: minus one four. I will say this, Despite the struggles,
Speaker 1: Aaron Nola has not given up more than three earned
Speaker 1: runs in a game where three runs total in a
Speaker 1: game since a Yeah, it's pretty good. Now, some of
Speaker 1: them are short he starts, but he's not giving you
Speaker 1: like these crazy dominance sting. No, he's not. He's although
Speaker 1: the mother man you read the stats was actually very good.
Speaker 1: He allowed one run or less. Actually, now that's not true.
Speaker 1: One run exactly in four of his six starts, one
Speaker 1: run exactly four of his six starts, an other man.
Speaker 1: And if you look at lower right, his past three starts,
Speaker 1: one and run exactly in each of those starts. The
Speaker 1: last time he got blown up was May Tent. That
Speaker 1: was at Colorado. But you kind of give him a
Speaker 1: pass for that, Greg, So do we go under the
Speaker 1: name hasn't He hasn't allowed more than three runs and
Speaker 1: the start he's only done it once in three or five, six, seven,
Speaker 1: eight and seven of his last eight starts he's allowed
Speaker 1: three or runs or less. That's eric lower. So do
Speaker 1: we go and I think, no, I think this is
Speaker 1: your don't don't be a sucker bit. I think that
Speaker 1: that's what they want us to think, want us to
Speaker 1: go there, sucking, sucking us in here. I don't think.
Speaker 1: I think they're trying to get an over, but maybe
Speaker 1: just talk. You're just not touching it that No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't touch the total. But I like the Phillies
Speaker 1: to win the game. Hey, yeah, I don't like this
Speaker 1: game at all. The Yeah, I mean that's how I
Speaker 1: felt about the Cubs and the Angels. Yeah, I'm not,
Speaker 1: I'm not, I'm not. You like the you like the Diamondback,
Speaker 1: that Diamonds Dodgers games. Where we're going, We're going that
Speaker 1: under six. I'm on under six and a half of
Speaker 1: Robbie Reray over uh five and a half of Walker below.
Speaker 1: I'll take Dodgers with the run line. And with that,
Speaker 1: we're gonna sign off YouTube for now. There is one
Speaker 1: more game to go later on today. I believe that's
Speaker 1: the Mariners and the Astros right there the ten pm
Speaker 1: uh t BM start for them to be the first pitch.
Speaker 1: We're gonna break down that game next exclusively on the
Speaker 1: radio side and on the podcast. So if you're watching
Speaker 1: on a video, make sure that the podcast as soon
Speaker 1: as it goes up so you can get our breakdown
Speaker 1: here of Houston and Seattle. Ten pm, First pitch on ESPN.
Speaker 1: Come up next at one pm on the video. Sean
Speaker 1: Grostamakia at the Window makes their debut here on the network.
Speaker 1: He'll be breaking down on the NBA, breaking down all
Speaker 1: this baseball stuff, a lot of gambling to talk to
Speaker 1: you with Seawan. Shan makes his UH at the Window debut,
Speaker 1: coming up next. All right, Frank, let's break this down here.
Speaker 1: It's the Houston Astros taking on the Seattle Mariners. And
Speaker 1: I don't believe it's on the board at the sports book.
Speaker 1: Is that correct? Don't see it? Yeah, that seems like
Speaker 1: a mistake. I don't really know why it wouldn't be
Speaker 1: on the board. I mean there might be a reason
Speaker 1: for it. Is there something in question? For now? It's
Speaker 1: it's Corbyn Martin against Wade le Blanc. Although interesting, it's
Speaker 1: been pulled from a lot of locations. Maybe they're waiting
Speaker 1: on a news but whose all today? And so these
Speaker 1: actual players maybe there's somebody coming up for the Astros.
Speaker 1: I don't know. The matter is gonna be making the trade.
Speaker 1: So it opened at Maris did make the trade, So
Speaker 1: it's Corbyn Martin against Wade le Blanc. Seattle opened at
Speaker 1: plus one, twenty, Houston at minus one thirty. On the
Speaker 1: road the total was at nine and a half. It's
Speaker 1: been pulled at the West Gate, the MGM William Hill
Speaker 1: will win, It's been pulled everywhere. But those does sound
Speaker 1: like pretty good odds for the Astros though, what was
Speaker 1: it minus one? It opened minus one the thirties now
Speaker 1: minus one forty for the for the Astros to win.
Speaker 1: I don't love it. I know hasn't been great, but
Speaker 1: the Marriors lineup has also slowed down tremendously over the
Speaker 1: past week. Twenty three in ops for the Seattle manners
Speaker 1: seven oh six ops and they trade away j Bruce.
Speaker 1: So no, that's not going to help their lineup either. Greg.
Speaker 1: I like the Astros to win the game. I mean
Speaker 1: they're gonna They're gonna blow up Wade LeBlanc. There's no
Speaker 1: doubt in my mind. Well why can't why can't the
Speaker 1: Marriagers keep up? I guess what would the total do
Speaker 1: you do? You have a total there? Nine and a half,
Speaker 1: So that's no. But I mean I like that over.
Speaker 1: That's the one you you live up for. There, like
Speaker 1: that because Cortan Martin hasn't been great either, so he
Speaker 1: can give up some runs and I would expect I
Speaker 1: mean whatever, like the Astros run total for their team
Speaker 1: alone is I would probably be interested in that because
Speaker 1: Wade LeBlanc has not been good. Greg see, even with
Speaker 1: the injuries, who uh to all the the Astros players.
Speaker 1: Their lineup hasn't been terrible either, So I got nothing.
Speaker 1: We got nothing here, to be honest with you. Unfortunately.
Speaker 1: All right, Well we like the over, and I think
Speaker 1: the Astros win the game too, okay, So we'll stick
Speaker 1: with that when it comes to Houston. We'll stick with
Speaker 1: that when it comes to Houston. Last night, game number
Speaker 1: two in the NBA Finals between the Raptors and the Warriors, Warriors.
Speaker 1: Warriors pull off the win in Toronto, despite losing Clay Thompson,
Speaker 1: despite losing Um, despite losing Kevon Looney, no Kevin Durant
Speaker 1: last night. Do you think he returns in games free?
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I mean, all indications have been
Speaker 1: that he's still dealing with uh this injury. He's been
Speaker 1: limping around. He hasn't practiced yet, and I know that
Speaker 1: over the weekend they said that he doesn't necessarily need
Speaker 1: to practice, or maybe he only needs one practice to
Speaker 1: get that under his belt before he's back in the finals.
Speaker 1: But ultimately, I don't think that he's going to play
Speaker 1: in this game. And now we have Clay Thompson in
Speaker 1: question as well, who hurt his hamstring yesterday. I know,
Speaker 1: you know, they asked him after the game, are you
Speaker 1: gonna be available? And maybe it was just adrenaline going,
Speaker 1: but he's, you know, he's telling everyone, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: miss this game. I'm gonna be ready to go for
Speaker 1: Game three. So obviously a lot of storylines playing out here. Greg,
Speaker 1: I thought it was I thought it was a really
Speaker 1: bad loss for the Toronto Raptors overall, because you hold
Speaker 1: the you hold Steph Curry to twenty three points on
Speaker 1: six of seventeen shooting, but you let other guys get
Speaker 1: going here. DeMarcus Cousins gets going a little bit. You
Speaker 1: get Andrew Bogan randomly chipping in six points, Quinn Cook
Speaker 1: randomly chipping in nine points, Toronto Raptors had every opportunity
Speaker 1: to pull this one out, Greig, if you were watching
Speaker 1: that fourth quarter, they got stopped after stop after stop,
Speaker 1: but they just couldn't put the ball in the basket.
Speaker 1: And for everyone who's freaking out about the refs, they
Speaker 1: were bad on both sides, Greg, let let's not just,
Speaker 1: you know, let's not paint this picture like it's like
Speaker 1: it's some kind of one one sided thing here, because
Speaker 1: if you look at the free throws in this one
Speaker 1: for the Raptors twenty three for the Warriors, I thought
Speaker 1: it was really bad on both sides. So I'm not just,
Speaker 1: you know, blaming this loss for the Raptors on the referees.
Speaker 1: I thought they had opportunities. You know, they shot thirty
Speaker 1: seven percent from the field. Credit to the Warriors defense.
Speaker 1: They played well again. Boogie really came on in that
Speaker 1: second half. I thought Andre Egodala, I don't know what
Speaker 1: he did. Did he take Mike's magic water at halftime, Greg,
Speaker 1: because you know, he healed up and he actually looked
Speaker 1: pretty good. He was the savior last night. He hit
Speaker 1: the dagger three, but played some good defense as well.
Speaker 1: But I thought it was a really, really bad loss
Speaker 1: to the Raptors not great. So now they go to
Speaker 1: Golden State. They are five and a half point dogs
Speaker 1: right now. And you know this, it's really interesting because
Speaker 1: this number can change so much up in the air.
Speaker 1: If it's a rant Clay, what the deal is with that?
Speaker 1: So that's a very big deal. If you like Golden State,
Speaker 1: you do it now. No, I I don't think that
Speaker 1: number goes out. I only think it goes up with
Speaker 1: Clay News and Katie Dowers. I was actually leaning the
Speaker 1: other way. I don't think Katie's gonna play. And I
Speaker 1: do have my doubts about playtops and is effective. And
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I don't I like it. I say,
Speaker 1: if you like the Warriors, do it now. I can
Speaker 1: see the number going Youngberg, that's gonna do it for us,
Speaker 1: for Frank Staffle, I'm Greg Susman. We'll do it all gonnamorrow. YopE,
