Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Bros. MLB.
Speaker 2: This is Leading Off Live, brought you by Prize Picks.
Speaker 2: Sign up for Prize Picks today and use that promo
Speaker 2: code leading Off. When you do, It's me Joey p
Speaker 2: That of course is the Welsh and it's you, the Peanuts,
Speaker 2: the Cracker Jacks hanging out here talking's a baseball hot
Speaker 2: out of the gate. You got a question here for
Speaker 2: dB Cooper, very famous person. Incognito still loves the show.
Speaker 2: Morning guys.
Speaker 1: Am.
Speaker 2: I sitting Brian Bellow against the Braves today. I have
Speaker 2: a Kunya my lineup Spencer Strider on the other side.
Speaker 1: Of that game. I think the win probability goes down
Speaker 1: for mister Bellow in the Red Sox.
Speaker 2: I already have investments today in Spencer Strider and the Braves.
Speaker 1: I say, sit them Welsh, what say you?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not into it. If you like ratios so
Speaker 3: could he still go five? Yes? But I think it's
Speaker 3: four or five innings. This is just not the for
Speaker 3: middle line starters. The Braves not the best to go against.
Speaker 3: I do have a bet involved with this game with
Speaker 3: both BeO and Kunya, but no, I would just shy away.
Speaker 3: BeO did this last week, I think though, and I
Speaker 3: shied away and he was phenomenal. So I would say,
Speaker 3: you know, obviously this is your decision, but the matchup
Speaker 3: would tell me if I'm really tight on my ratios,
Speaker 3: I'm probably not going to risk it. If I got
Speaker 3: some wiggle room, you could throw them out there.
Speaker 2: I'm not Ratio's in trouble today. That's a good, that's
Speaker 2: a getting. It's better than being ratioed. I heard that's bad.
Speaker 2: Not even sure what that means.
Speaker 3: But what was the I was just thinking, what was
Speaker 3: the guy from hook where the That wasn't Julio, but
Speaker 3: they're like Julia, who you remember the guy?
Speaker 1: Oh Rufio, Rufio, Rufio, Rufie Ruo. It wasn't Julio.
Speaker 3: Julio's in my head some homers yesterday, so that was
Speaker 3: in my brain.
Speaker 2: Ruo his first two homer day of the season, by
Speaker 2: the way. And more baseball, speaking of two dingers, p
Speaker 2: Alonzo the Polar Bear. Two dingers for this guy who's
Speaker 2: got two thumbs and two mors.
Speaker 1: I do, let's go yeah and need a home run
Speaker 1: in twelve straight games. Pee Alonzo breaks this. I told
Speaker 1: you if peed Alonzo played in the Yankee Stadium, he
Speaker 1: would have sixty home runs every year.
Speaker 2: Yankee Stadium is a joke. It is a joke as
Speaker 2: a little league field. It's ridiculous, but it's fun. So
Speaker 2: pick your home runs there. Verlander pitch two hit balls,
Speaker 2: six scoreless sittings. We'll see if he's still met this
Speaker 2: time next week. Julia Rodriguez two more bombs for him,
Speaker 2: So nice to see some Julio action. Also, he had
Speaker 2: return of Merle Merril Kelly one run, six innings Tuesday,
Speaker 2: no decision against the Cards. They move Zach Gallon starts
Speaker 2: to today. Kevin Ginkle by the way, toss the scoreless ninth.
Speaker 2: So is Ginkle the closer rest of season? Or do
Speaker 2: you think there's a move to be made here. We've
Speaker 2: talked about Magoo a couple of weeks ago. McGuff did
Speaker 2: not work out, obviously, so is Ginkle the man? Or
Speaker 2: we looked into outsource.
Speaker 3: They will be outsourcing. This has been the most asked
Speaker 3: question to me all year long, and every guy that
Speaker 3: any of you people can bring up to me, I
Speaker 3: say it's not because it has just been band aids
Speaker 3: on a broken bone all year long, it's like, hey,
Speaker 3: Miguel Castro can do this for now. McGuff can do
Speaker 3: this for now. They're gun to trade for somebody. The
Speaker 3: rumor like four days ago locally here from the guys
Speaker 3: that are kind of you know, the organization will like
Speaker 3: cipher information down to the radio guys, so the radio
Speaker 3: guys can be like my sources blah blah blah, is
Speaker 3: David Robertson with the Mets that I'm a backler kicking
Speaker 3: around for David Robertson. So there you go.
Speaker 1: I mean that makes sense.
Speaker 2: Why not you got Das coming back next year or
Speaker 2: he might even come back at the end of September.
Speaker 1: There's some rumors about that. Why not just screw it.
Speaker 1: Screw it.
Speaker 2: You can have everybody on the Mets take them all.
Speaker 2: Robertson would be great. And you know what, what does
Speaker 2: that deal look like? From your perspective, you are prospect
Speaker 2: one guru. What can the Mets get back from a
Speaker 2: couple months of Robertson?
Speaker 3: Anything for Robertson, hardly and it'll be a probably a
Speaker 3: single a pitcher or something like that, maybe two maybe
Speaker 3: a single a pitcher and a single a catcher or
Speaker 3: a rookie ball. You're not gonna get a big haul
Speaker 3: for David Roberts. I mean, Diamondbacks have a couple of
Speaker 3: really good international guys that are in rookie ball that
Speaker 3: just went to a ball. Yansel Luis is someone I
Speaker 3: really like. It's at that level. They're not gonna get
Speaker 3: much for Robert. But whoever the Diamondbacks person is it's
Speaker 3: closing is not on the roster right now for the
Speaker 3: closer for the rest of the year. And by the way,
Speaker 3: shout out to Corbyn Carroll for slamming in those runs
Speaker 3: to get the win, which was a money line bet
Speaker 3: for me for yesterday for the Diamondbacks. So thank you
Speaker 3: Corbyn Carroll for your service.
Speaker 2: Like your prospect knowledge is so deep at this point
Speaker 2: you could pretty much make up names of guys and
Speaker 2: I would just have to be like, okay, like I
Speaker 2: think we should do that. I'm gonna play a game.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be like Key and Peel. You know, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna create some prospect names and Welsh Is gonna have
Speaker 2: to say whether or not they are real.
Speaker 3: Oh, you know what you should do too. We should
Speaker 3: get like AI. We should get like the AI pictures
Speaker 3: of like Fox players.
Speaker 1: We have an initiative here to use AI. Maybe that's
Speaker 1: what I will do.
Speaker 3: Only so much AI, though, get only.
Speaker 1: So much, too much, just just the right amount.
Speaker 2: Wan Soto hit his twentieth home He is out of
Speaker 2: today's lineup. He's dealing with some finger issues there, but
Speaker 2: he did get to the twenty home run mark yet again.
Speaker 2: Lake Snell got a steven victory, but he did give
Speaker 2: up five more walks, struck out four. So the run
Speaker 2: that Blake Snell was on that was magical, that was unbelievable. Well,
Speaker 2: obviously that is now.
Speaker 3: I think that's twelve walks in the last two games.
Speaker 1: I think last start he had seven hundred. I think
Speaker 1: he had he.
Speaker 3: Had seven in the last one. I think he had
Speaker 3: five in this one.
Speaker 1: Again, Uh huh, terrible. I'm annoyed. I don't like it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, and I and it was I'm lucky that
Speaker 1: was because here's the thing.
Speaker 2: It was a part of me that wanted to jump
Speaker 2: back into the Blakes Now business yesterday and I went,
Speaker 2: you know what, no.
Speaker 1: Don't do it. Don't do it. We're going in the
Speaker 1: other direction.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, you mean how I was like, uh,
Speaker 3: you know, I don't think. I look, Mino is completely done.
Speaker 3: Like at first start was really encouraging. So maybe he.
Speaker 1: Would have sounded exactly like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how I sounded when I was talking about
Speaker 3: Manoa yesterday. But he not yesterday, but last week he
Speaker 3: was absolute trash and garbage and Snell. Snell wasn't as bad.
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna pull up here now.
Speaker 1: He was inefficient. He's walking guys all over the place.
Speaker 2: That's gonna cut into his innings. It's a big problem.
Speaker 2: And yes, I know we got a somebody call it.
Speaker 2: I want to talk about the person getting called up Welsh.
Speaker 2: I know is I wasn't say excited, but Welsh's gonna do.
Speaker 3: I put it on Yeah, I put it on the sheet.
Speaker 3: It was real quick on Snell.
Speaker 2: Real quick crackers, ask go ahead, give me your five
Speaker 2: cents on Snell not even so fastball.
Speaker 3: Actually, I need to pull up. I want to compare this.
Speaker 3: I know we're jamming and stuff like that, but I
Speaker 3: want to compare this against the year. I don't know.
Speaker 3: You don't have baseball, Savanta, do you not right up?
Speaker 1: Currently?
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna pull this up here because
Speaker 3: he had twenty swings on the fastball yesterday for zero whiffs,
Speaker 3: so he was completely ineffective. That has only had a
Speaker 3: seventeen percent whiff rate all season long, and he couldn't
Speaker 3: do anything with that thing. Yesterday. He had a fifty
Speaker 3: percent rate on slider, fifty percent on the change up,
Speaker 3: but it looks like he used those a little bit
Speaker 3: less than usual. Yeah, the command was just odd. I
Speaker 3: didn't see if there's anything funky, but and it's just smelling.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's a mechanical thing, if it's
Speaker 2: a mental thing, of as a combination between them. But
Speaker 2: he has definitely become one of the more frustrating pictures
Speaker 2: in fantasy in the last decade, because you know, the
Speaker 2: upside is he's a CW young, dominant kind of guy,
Speaker 2: but he can't get enough of.
Speaker 1: Those starts together.
Speaker 2: He can get five of those starts together, maybe seven
Speaker 2: or eight, but he can't get twenty five out of
Speaker 2: thirty that way. And that's the frustrating thing because at
Speaker 2: the end of the day, you're gonna end up with
Speaker 2: I can't wait till the end of the year when
Speaker 2: we look back on Blake's now because I guarantee you
Speaker 2: if he makes thirty two starts, you're truly frustrating.
Speaker 1: Piece.
Speaker 2: Like, it's a very frustrating situation there for sure. Let's
Speaker 2: move on to some more guys here. Andrew Abbott another
Speaker 2: incredible performance for him against the Brewers. He struck out
Speaker 2: nine guys and six shot out of innings. Andrew Abbott
Speaker 2: just is on fire. Burns was really good too, quality start,
Speaker 2: gave up only two runs and three hits. But obviously
Speaker 2: the problem was, you know, there's not enough offense. Six
Speaker 2: strikeouts a whole night, only one walk for Corbyn Burns,
Speaker 2: So this was that four outcome game I stayed away
Speaker 2: from yesterday.
Speaker 1: I kind of wanted to stay away from it, and
Speaker 1: I'm glad I did.
Speaker 2: But your thoughts on this pitchure's duel between Abbot and Burns,
Speaker 2: because Abbot continues to just be unbelievable, talk about an
Speaker 2: ace that nobody saw coming.
Speaker 3: I mean, I literally do Weld just copy and paste
Speaker 3: what I had said the other day, Like I don't
Speaker 3: know what's going on, because like he is the biggest
Speaker 3: anomaly on the planet for what his fastball does to
Speaker 3: where some of the secondaries go, to the amount of
Speaker 3: swinging whiffs he gets. He had nine strikeouts in this
Speaker 3: game on six innings, only three hard hit balls given up,
Speaker 3: and you just keep looking. I mean he outwhiffed total
Speaker 3: fifteen total swinging whiffs versus Corbyn burns in this last one.
Speaker 3: I don't know what to make of it. I wish
Speaker 3: there was like really sound stuff the last The only
Speaker 3: thing I can bring up is what I talked about
Speaker 3: last week again, was like, I think it might have
Speaker 3: something to do, you know, and I were really like
Speaker 3: digging into him. It might have something to do with
Speaker 3: the release point he's got on his secondaries to his
Speaker 3: fastball that is completely repeatable while also being deceptive coming out.
Speaker 3: So first off, it's all deceptive, and second off, they
Speaker 3: all have a similar release point, and it's just getting
Speaker 3: guys just just flying through stuff.
Speaker 2: If you can, if you can consistently throw different pitches
Speaker 2: from the same exact release point at the same arm speed,
Speaker 2: you're going to be incredibly successful at the major league level,
Speaker 2: like you just are.
Speaker 1: It's and big spin.
Speaker 3: Number and big spin numbers two almost twenty four hundred
Speaker 3: on the fastball almost it's over twenty eight hundred on
Speaker 3: both his curveball, and his sweeper. They're just big, you know,
Speaker 3: loopy moving pitches that are deceptive, and he he's almost
Speaker 3: a throwbackish type of player. I mean those ninety one
Speaker 3: throwback might be more like throwing like ninety or whatever.
Speaker 3: But there's a I still say, like these guys that
Speaker 3: you can't quite pinpoint how they're doing. Some of it
Speaker 3: makes you worry they're going to fall apart, but I'm not.
Speaker 3: I don't know what you do about that right now
Speaker 3: unless you're training for him, like super h Hi, I'd
Speaker 3: kind of ride the wave because no one's picking them
Speaker 3: up and it keeps going.
Speaker 2: Let's take a quick break in the action to tell
Speaker 2: you about Fanimal. I love live events, but I hate
Speaker 2: buying tickets the hidden fees they suck. It's like paying
Speaker 2: for a whole other person who's not even there to
Speaker 2: be there with you at the event, and customer service
Speaker 2: is terrible and coordinating with friends is a nightmare. But
Speaker 2: then I discovered Fanimal, and Fannamal has tickets to everything concerts, festivals, football, basketball,
Speaker 2: you name it, and Major League Baseball. And plus there's
Speaker 2: no fees. The price you see is actually the price
Speaker 2: you pay. What a concept you heard it here first.
Speaker 2: Fanimal is the cheapest place on the internet to get
Speaker 2: MLB tickets, and we've all experienced how painful it is
Speaker 2: to coordinate going to events with friends, and I always
Speaker 2: end up fronting a bunch of money and then chasing
Speaker 2: down the friends to get reimbursed, and if they flake,
Speaker 2: I'm stuck with the whole bill. But Fannimal's patentent group
Speaker 2: purchase makes it easy to split payments with your friends,
Speaker 2: so nobody's left holding the bag and you don't have
Speaker 2: to commit until your friends do. So just pick the seats,
Speaker 2: pick how many tickets you want to pay for yourself,
Speaker 2: and then send the link to your friends. And when
Speaker 2: you join your group, everyone gets started separately and your
Speaker 2: tickets are secured, so you can stack cash by inviting
Speaker 2: friends ten bucks every time someone joins your group, catching baby.
Speaker 2: So fanomal it has amazing customer service to don't take
Speaker 2: my word for it, check out their hundreds and hundreds
Speaker 2: of five star reviews. The next time you need tickets,
Speaker 2: go to fanimal dot com or download the fanimal app
Speaker 2: and use the promo code fanimal MLB. That's fanimal MLB
Speaker 2: for twenty dollars off your first purchase, check out fanimal
Speaker 2: and experience more and now back to the action. Also
Speaker 2: Wanky Penguin on it. She's already in the chat. GBT
Speaker 2: Minor League Baseball names ready for these Mavericks Slugger Sullivan, Dakota,
Speaker 2: Canon Callahan, which is a good one.
Speaker 1: And this is my favorite one, Maxine, Knucklebuster Martinez.
Speaker 2: Buster Martinez sounds like an independent wrestler on the indie scene.
Speaker 2: Oh do you see Knucklebuster Martinez. That guy's amazing.
Speaker 3: I like the idea of this too. I like the
Speaker 3: idea of a guy getting drafted and they just have
Speaker 3: a nickname. They are all these nicknames, these guys coming,
Speaker 3: But these.
Speaker 2: Are better nicknames than anything else. Everyone's j Road and
Speaker 2: he Road and this d like. Everyone's just like nicknames.
Speaker 2: They're shortened their abbreviations.
Speaker 3: It's not a nickname, Joe, do you want to be knucklebuster?
Speaker 3: Is that what you're saying, you want to be the knucklebuster?
Speaker 2: Well, remember we had a whole conversation about whether or
Speaker 2: not you can give yourself a nickname.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can nickname you.
Speaker 1: I can the knucklebuster.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Tyler Glass, now you're the knucklebuster.
Speaker 2: One run ball here against the Marlins. So another great set,
Speaker 2: but finished with eight strikeouts, not eight and a half.
Speaker 2: So guess who hit his parlay? This guy bounce back yesterday?
Speaker 3: Oh did you hit the full parlay too?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, baby, metsi's one glass now eight and a half,
Speaker 1: k's under And what was the other one? Was the gimme?
Speaker 1: There was another gimme in there?
Speaker 3: I don't know Edward screwed because Kirby was a monster yesterday.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you had Kirby in there the
Speaker 3: glass now on now?
Speaker 1: Was it was a team one? It was two gimme teams,
Speaker 1: and I don't even remember.
Speaker 2: What it was. I'll have to go back and pull
Speaker 2: my sports book and look at it and remember who
Speaker 2: it was. Because Joey p made some cash yesterday, very
Speaker 2: very good on that one.
Speaker 1: I got another one today.
Speaker 2: So everyone sticked ahead, all right. So let's talk about
Speaker 2: the rookie lookie. So everybody's talking about in the chat
Speaker 2: Marco Luciano getting recalled from Triple A. We were a
Speaker 2: little surprised he got moved up there to begin with,
Speaker 2: twenty one year old again, seven for twenty four, two
Speaker 2: homers in the last six games, so things were going well.
Speaker 2: He hit balls one hundred and ten and one hundred
Speaker 2: and nine miles an hour recently. So if you're into
Speaker 2: that sort of thing, there you go, what are your
Speaker 2: thoughts on Marco Luciano, somebody you're picking up, somebody you're
Speaker 2: staying away from, or what's the price?
Speaker 3: Basically, So like I try to come on here all
Speaker 3: the time, and like I try to be like relatively
Speaker 3: even keel, which sometimes might be copoudy, because if I'm
Speaker 3: not like, oh, there's a player, I love this player,
Speaker 3: So I try to just talk to you about like
Speaker 3: here's the process of it. I could see blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: I feel there are two only two outcomes for Marco
Speaker 3: Luciano in distant there's only two, one of which he's
Speaker 3: one of the worst players in baseball and he strikes
Speaker 3: out thirty eight percent of the time and doesn't make contact.
Speaker 3: The other outcome is he defies all the odds of
Speaker 3: what he's done in the minor leagues and he's crushing
Speaker 3: baseballs and we can't stop talking about Marco Luciano like
Speaker 3: it's like an LL daily crew. There's only two outcomes.
Speaker 3: I believe. I don't believe there's a middle outcome where
Speaker 3: he's he's decent, and he's got a twenty two percent
Speaker 3: strikeout rate and he's walking a little bit and double buck.
Speaker 3: I just don't. I just don't believe it because and
Speaker 3: I don't see what this is the only thing I
Speaker 3: can figure out of why they did this is because
Speaker 3: their offense has been so studdy. They've been bringing up
Speaker 3: players left and right. Luciano had an almost essentially a
Speaker 3: thirty percent strikeout rate at Triple A this year, a
Speaker 3: thirty percent strikeout rate at Double A this year. He's
Speaker 3: walking a decent amount, but he's not hitting well. He
Speaker 3: had two twenty eight at Double A, two ninety two
Speaker 3: at Triple A in six games, is okay? The power
Speaker 3: still there, and he ran a little bit. I just don't.
Speaker 3: I just don't believe in Marco Luciano. So I'm out.
Speaker 3: I'm out. Like I used to believe in him, used
Speaker 3: to love it. I don't think this is one of
Speaker 3: those guys with really high strikeout rates and poor decision
Speaker 3: making at the plate that's gonna be able to like thrive.
Speaker 3: Could he hit a homer in the first couple someone
Speaker 3: throws him a mistake. That guy can absolutely hit it
Speaker 3: four fifty. He's got huge power, but he has been inconsistent.
Speaker 3: His pitt recognition seems kind of odd. And but you know,
Speaker 3: at the Giants probably knows something we don't know. It
Speaker 3: seems like a really quick push up for what his
Speaker 3: production has done. I am out, and I'll just be
Speaker 3: wrong about it. So no, thank you for Luciano.
Speaker 1: For me, I found the team.
Speaker 2: It was the Padres yesterday five to one, so they
Speaker 2: were minus two seventy yesterday.
Speaker 1: So I did exactly what.
Speaker 2: So you put a unit on the parlay and a
Speaker 2: unit on glass now at the eight and a half under.
Speaker 2: So the return on that one so ten bucks oney
Speaker 2: seventeen fifty eight in the glass now, and then you
Speaker 2: add that to the ten bucks at the plus thirty
Speaker 2: two it was another forty three bucks, So too shabby. There,
Speaker 2: it's a sixty dollars day on twenty bucks. Take that
Speaker 2: every day of the week. That's a very simple little like.
Speaker 2: There you go take the kids out to the movies
Speaker 2: on Friday with that. There you go, you take them
Speaker 2: see Oppenheimer, don't Yeah, the kids love the Oppenheimer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't do that nobody ruined. Well, no, I'm
Speaker 3: not saying I haven't seen it yet, but Florence, Florence.
Speaker 3: If they are, if they're like Marvel, they're going to
Speaker 3: be devastated at what black widows.
Speaker 1: Something about Florence pew that's all I heard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Florence. Well she's wearing a different outfit in this one,
Speaker 3: and it's.
Speaker 1: Well, then I'm definitely gonna go see it.
Speaker 3: Like no outfit at all.
Speaker 2: Well, okay, all right, that's fine by I mean, all right,
Speaker 2: I just said, don't bring.
Speaker 1: Your kids there. Joe, you can listen.
Speaker 3: I know you're the knuckle I know you're the knucklebuster
Speaker 3: and everything.
Speaker 2: Because I don't bring the kids doesn't mean I'm a
Speaker 2: knuckle dragger. A bow nailor Homer twice there against saying crinky,
Speaker 2: but again whatever bow Nailer. By the way, I'm mad
Speaker 2: because he I had him in the value picks for
Speaker 2: DFS yesterday, didn't put him in the show. She didn't
Speaker 2: use him, which I had had a good instinct there
Speaker 2: should have followed through.
Speaker 3: I have a question, how do you get the nickname bo?
Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean, what is it? You know?
Speaker 3: How like if your real not his real name is
Speaker 3: that his No, it's Noah. His name is Noah, And
Speaker 3: I knew a bow. But how do you get the
Speaker 3: bo Burnham? How do you get the name Bo? Like?
Speaker 3: I was just like, really, yeah, I actually nickname our dog.
Speaker 3: You know what's so funny? Our dog name is Chloe
Speaker 3: and we call her bow for absolutely no reason. And
Speaker 3: I don't even know why we do it. How do
Speaker 3: you get the nickname BO?
Speaker 1: I don't know peanuts, cracker jacks, get all that goes.
Speaker 3: Please let Welsh in the Knucklebuster know Wonkey.
Speaker 2: I want to go see Barbie by the way, but
Speaker 2: the problem is that they're going with their mom to
Speaker 2: see Barbie, so I have to wait the secondary run
Speaker 2: to see that one. So I'll try to see Oppenheimer.
Speaker 2: This I tried to last week. It sold out, couldn't
Speaker 2: get tickets.
Speaker 1: I had to sit in the front row.
Speaker 2: I'm not sitting in the front row for three hours.
Speaker 1: I'm not doing this. This is not idea of watching
Speaker 1: the experts.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean to be closer to Florence. That'll give
Speaker 3: you a different person.
Speaker 1: Well, maybe I shouldn't reconsidered how I known that?
Speaker 2: But I didn't know that at the time Adola's Garcia
Speaker 2: one for four Tuesday is returned to the lineup. X
Speaker 2: rays negative on Alvarez from the Mets. He had gotten
Speaker 2: hit on the pitch, shooting hit on the hand by
Speaker 2: a pitch Gunnar Henderson was removed on Tuesday some back
Speaker 2: discomfort and Cabrian Hayes working towards a minor league rehab
Speaker 2: assignment if anyone cares on Tuesday next week. Also for fun,
Speaker 2: Gryffn Canning another good outing for him, eight strikeouts, got
Speaker 2: a big strikeout performance again recently. What's going on with
Speaker 2: Gryffin Canning? All of a sudden, what's clicking for this guy?
Speaker 2: And there's just another notch in the chain for the Angels,
Speaker 2: continuously finding ways to stay relevant.
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable with Griffin Canning.
Speaker 3: Now, I was about to say, I'm like, what are
Speaker 3: you talking about? Another notch? Like this is a this
Speaker 3: is something abnormal for them to have this. Let's see
Speaker 3: Canning up a full mile per hour velo on the
Speaker 3: fastball this year. It's been way more strikeout efficient. It's
Speaker 3: presently enough. The rest of the pitches have kind of
Speaker 3: tapered down a little bit as far as wifs go.
Speaker 3: But what he's done is he's this has been the
Speaker 3: success man. He's up the usage of the slider this
Speaker 3: year and lowered the fastball, which has made the fastball
Speaker 3: more effective. He's throwing both the fastball and slider over
Speaker 3: thirty percent of the time, and then he just drops
Speaker 3: a change up in there around twenty percent of the time,
Speaker 3: and he's been hitting the zone. He's been more effective
Speaker 3: getting whiffs through. It just don't if you can if
Speaker 3: you have a good secondary pitch, specifically the slider, and
Speaker 3: you cannot throw your fastball over forty percent. It has
Speaker 3: just been like a solid, solid way to start getting strikeouts,
Speaker 3: and it has been the new method that works.
Speaker 2: Wonkey says, I haven't laughed that hard in a movie
Speaker 2: in a very long time. I think she's talking about Poppenheimer.
Speaker 1: It's a laugh riot.
Speaker 2: It's hilarious, dropping comic bombs everywhere. Boy boy, you know
Speaker 2: what was very disturbtly diffusion of this cast is really
Speaker 2: off the charts.
Speaker 3: Tom is right here, this is like add this show.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 3: It's actually really been bothering me for like a week now.
Speaker 3: I forever thought it was silly and Murphy and finding
Speaker 3: out it's Killian is like absolutely throwing me for a
Speaker 3: loop this last week, because I've heard a million people
Speaker 3: call him.
Speaker 2: In the Irish speak of it, it was always Killian,
Speaker 2: but it was always presented here in the state It's
Speaker 2: is Cillian Murphy, which I don't know why, So is
Speaker 2: it Killian?
Speaker 1: Have they like I did come out?
Speaker 3: And so when I was on CBS last week, I
Speaker 3: said Sillyan and I got corrected and I was like really,
Speaker 3: And then I heard all these people talking Sillyan and
Speaker 3: then I heard Robert Downey Junior doing an interview and
Speaker 3: He's like, yeah, Killian, and I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on. Maybe Killian is how
Speaker 3: you get the nickname BO. Maybe if you're Killian, that's
Speaker 3: where maybe.
Speaker 1: That goes through.
Speaker 2: Maybe there was a trade yesterday, not me, not yet.
Speaker 2: Rumors still abound. John Hayman's reporting it. A couple other
Speaker 2: people still that, you know, working out contract details potentially
Speaker 2: with Kazy Bubba for Joe Pisapia. We'll see if that
Speaker 2: comes to her wish on the trade deadline or not
Speaker 2: you off the Stay tuned Monday the thirty first to
Speaker 2: see the Dodgers did make an acquisition.
Speaker 1: What's old is new again or new is old again?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Enrique Keike Hernandez is back to the Dodger. So interesting
Speaker 2: set of circumstances there.
Speaker 1: It tells you Miguel Vargas ain't coming back anytime soon.
Speaker 1: Like that.
Speaker 2: That ain't happening. That's the thing you'll learn from that.
Speaker 2: Let's do three up and three down there we'll get
Speaker 2: to prize picking. Swanson three for three, homer twice, Alex
Speaker 2: Cobb season high nine k's against the A's.
Speaker 1: Good job taking care of the A's there.
Speaker 2: Alex Cobb and Francisco Lindor had a pulse three for
Speaker 2: five with two steals yesterday, three runs against the Yankees,
Speaker 2: three down. Charlie Morton walk five and allowed four earned
Speaker 2: runs in three and two thirds. Michael Kopek boo bad
Speaker 2: five runs for earned nine hits over five against the Cubs,
Speaker 2: and Di Mingo Ormond gave up not one, not two,
Speaker 2: not but three homers and six runs and six innings
Speaker 2: against the Mets.
Speaker 1: So Welsh, you know what time it is.
Speaker 2: It's time to pick them prizes, So make sure you
Speaker 2: go to prize picks Dot com download the app, get
Speaker 2: one hundred percent deposit match up to one hundred dollars.
Speaker 2: Use that promo code leading off when you do only
Speaker 2: at prize Picks Welsh use the promo code leading off.
Speaker 2: You love that promo code everybody I do. It's the
Speaker 2: best pick what you have.
Speaker 3: All Right, we got a theme today, love love my
Speaker 3: prize pick themes. We are going with the combo meals.
Speaker 3: We are all comboed out. So we've ordered a large
Speaker 3: number three and our three pieces are Strider Beyo strikeout
Speaker 3: combo at thirteen over Stryder's gonna get us eight or
Speaker 3: nine of those alone, Brave strikeout a bit Bayo can
Speaker 3: get some strikeout, so over thirteen Combo Strider Bayo, no
Speaker 3: run first inning for Framber and Andrew Heeney. And then
Speaker 3: finally we are going with I just wanted to play
Speaker 3: one of these ones. Ellie and Yelich hit run RBI
Speaker 3: combo of four, so those so you get four four
Speaker 3: hits run RBI between Yelich and Ellie to pair with
Speaker 3: all those rests with Striider Bayo fran Burheini. That is
Speaker 3: the combo price picks meal for me today, Large number
Speaker 3: three Joe what do you got there?
Speaker 1: You go.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Joe Ryan Pitcher strikeouts over. It's
Speaker 2: a seven, so it's a decent number, but still over
Speaker 2: against Seattle.
Speaker 1: Lindor swinging a good bat right now.
Speaker 2: And I have a lot of confidence in Carlos Rodan,
Speaker 2: He's still kind of finding himself. Six and a half
Speaker 2: is a low score. If Lindor is hot right now,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna cash in and stay in on there. And
Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker seven and a half hitter fantasy score, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go over on that one too.
Speaker 1: On the betting side, Okay, here's what we got today.
Speaker 1: You got the options.
Speaker 2: You can go with the skinny parlay the same game
Speaker 2: we do the double dip Spencer Strider eight and a
Speaker 2: half strikeouts over, and then you get the Braves on
Speaker 2: the money line. You put that together together, you get
Speaker 2: a better number of plus one forty five, which is
Speaker 2: good because the other two things are heavy in the negative,
Speaker 2: heavy on the juice there. So plus one forty five
Speaker 2: with Strider on the eight and a half over, Braves
Speaker 2: in the money line, and if you want a real
Speaker 2: kind of dip your toes in the water, do that one.
Speaker 2: Then take Strider in the braves again and added Houston
Speaker 2: on the money line with Franber Valdez against the Rangers,
Speaker 2: who I think the Rangers are really scuffling right now.
Speaker 2: You know Garcia is not one hundred percent seekers out
Speaker 2: of the lineup. Valdez has been really good. Add that
Speaker 2: in you get plus two seventy six. So you have
Speaker 2: two options here. You got the skinny one, you got
Speaker 2: the full three parlay Welsh, what do you.
Speaker 1: Have for the people on the betting side today?
Speaker 3: All right, I got a couple pieces. I'm going with
Speaker 3: Arizona on the run line minus one and a half.
Speaker 3: When I looked last night it might be a little
Speaker 3: bit less or whatever, it was plus one thirty five.
Speaker 3: And that's what Zach Allen going today. Flairty has also
Speaker 3: gotten beat up a little bit over his last couple starts.
Speaker 3: Bullpen is the biggest worry. But this is one of
Speaker 3: those starts that you hope Gallen going up against his
Speaker 3: former team that he still kind of has some resentment
Speaker 3: towards that he's gonna be able to go seven or
Speaker 3: eight and keep the bullpen out. So I like that
Speaker 3: play a lot, and then I'm going right back to this.
Speaker 3: This one blew up in my face yesterday because Kirby
Speaker 3: just as side to just Go, he was Oppenheimer, he
Speaker 3: was the bomb uh Seattle Minnesota, first three innings under
Speaker 3: two and a half runs. I'm going back to that
Speaker 3: with the pictures that are going today, So I'm just
Speaker 3: gonna jump right back into it. There's a couple of
Speaker 3: k props that I was kind of about, but I
Speaker 3: might update update those on the Betting Pros group. If
Speaker 3: you all want to check that out.
Speaker 2: There you go, you can join that Betting pros dot
Speaker 2: Com slash Leading Off that's where you hang out with us.

Speaker 3: Your hesitation, by the way, terrified me, like I was,
Speaker 3: that was my opportunity to to get like it was
Speaker 3: very tramadic. I went to get a drink, and then
Speaker 3: you got quiet. You don't know earlier a I tried
Speaker 3: to take I thought, oh okay, yeah, I tried to
Speaker 3: take your Every time we.
Speaker 1: Say AI, there's a glitch in the matrix. It's not
Speaker 1: like once this happened.
Speaker 2: This is like the eighth time where now I just
Speaker 2: accept it that the bots are watching us. It's the
Speaker 2: rise of the machines. Are not Schwartzinger is gonna, you
Speaker 2: know anytime?
Speaker 1: The machines? And how did you see the Oppenheimer yet?
Speaker 3: Oh did it happen to me? Did I freeze?
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was me freezing? And I
Speaker 1: couldn't see you your freeze and I couldn't see me.
Speaker 1: I couldn't No one could see each other.
Speaker 3: It was very I got terrified in the read because
Speaker 3: you took that big pregnant.
Speaker 2: I took the pause there for dramatic effect, like I
Speaker 2: learned that from watching Kindergarten Cop.
Speaker 1: It's a great dramatic performance. Who is your daddy? Well
Speaker 1: should want to I gotta spend just try that eleven
Speaker 1: point two is very expensive. You use him only though
Speaker 1: in the cash game. That's all you use him for.
Speaker 3: To a German soldier.
Speaker 1: Now he's Austrian, he's a little different.
Speaker 2: There's a ten point three, so it's a little cheaper,
Speaker 2: about a thousand dollars less you have more money to
Speaker 2: spend around your budget, and then if you have to,
Speaker 2: really I can't handle it at the point eight point
Speaker 2: date is not the terrible price.
Speaker 1: He's been vetting good. He's trying to look his way
Speaker 1: out of Detroit. Detroit the home of motown. You want
Speaker 1: to hear ar sports.
Speaker 3: I think I don't know it's a single person. You suggested.
Speaker 3: I don't know's single one. I couldn't focus. Who did
Speaker 3: you like? Give me one player you like in.
Speaker 2: English writer Framer Valadez and Michael Lorenz and there we go.
Speaker 1: I like, Lorenzo's a point eight.
Speaker 2: So it's really look, everything's got a break, right, But
Speaker 2: if it does, that's a tournament winner because you can.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's really best Spencer Schreider line up tonight
Speaker 2: as far as I'm concerned in any sort of cash game.
Speaker 2: So you just got to put the right one around him.
Speaker 2: But Framer Valdez is an interesting pivot. So again, those
Speaker 2: are the guys I'm investing in, and I always think
Speaker 2: it is. You're investing them in betting, investing them in
Speaker 2: the vest. Like, this is what you do. You look
Speaker 2: at what's good on the board, and you invest what's
Speaker 2: good on the board. And if baseball is such a
Speaker 2: high failure rate, but still if you're if you're putting
Speaker 2: good analysis in, you're doing.
Speaker 1: The work, then you get good results.
Speaker 2: The Yankees, the Braves, the San Francisco Giants all interesting
Speaker 2: stacks tonight. Oswald Parrazza is just two point three, k
Speaker 2: Anthony Bolpe's two point seven and Oscar Coloss two point two.
Speaker 2: So some really cheap guys on the board today. To
Speaker 2: help you build up the Spencer Strider, because you're gonna
Speaker 2: need it, You're gonna have to find one or two
Speaker 2: of these free square guys.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep rolling with Pete Alonzo. That's it. Just
Speaker 1: keep going there for my home run call. You can
Speaker 1: see the home run call board right here.
Speaker 2: Boom Razor thirty eight, kJ Tator thirty seven, Harvester at
Speaker 2: thirty five.
Speaker 1: I don't see the Welsh. The Welsh is close though.
Speaker 1: I think the Welsh is twenty seven.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I if I could have got my Matt Olsen
Speaker 3: Homer yesterday.
Speaker 1: How many do I have. I'm definitely in the twenties
Speaker 1: by now. I've got to be a twenty.
Speaker 3: You gotta be like twenty two or something. Yeah, you've
Speaker 3: had you've You've had a couple of good days. It's
Speaker 3: just you and I go on these bad spurts and
Speaker 3: that's what's killing us here.
Speaker 1: But I had the case.
Speaker 2: I was in Austria and I had some I had
Speaker 2: something that they should have VI. Then then I had
Speaker 2: the bad the bad shirts that squits whatever it was,
Speaker 2: it's terrible. So a few days luckily I hydrated myself
Speaker 2: and everything worked out.
Speaker 3: I feel like you're trying to make Corbyn Care look
Speaker 3: like that, like if we had the digital thing, like
Speaker 3: you were doing that voice as we're looking at coding.
Speaker 1: You see that bit with the mouth of the mouth
Speaker 1: of movement.
Speaker 3: Funny, it's still so funny.
Speaker 1: It is underrated bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the eyes of the machines. I want to do
Speaker 3: that on this show. I want to figure out how
Speaker 3: do we can we get.
Speaker 1: Like Walkee, I have twenty two. I am not far
Speaker 1: off getting closer.
Speaker 3: We could get like a background board, you know that,
Speaker 3: you know how like everyone can see we have the
Speaker 3: tiles around us, but it just covers the mouth, which
Speaker 3: is a little dicey. But then we could do that
Speaker 3: with characters.
Speaker 1: Who's your home?
Speaker 3: Trying to figure out I got?
Speaker 1: I'm rolling in the deep with Polar Bear, what do
Speaker 1: you got?
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Fernando Tattoo shooing up against Oviedo today.
Speaker 3: So a couple of different options, this interesting question, real quick,
Speaker 3: Uncle Ted said, pick one Riley Green, South Freelik or
Speaker 3: Will Benson rest of year. I'm the cruise going Riley,
Speaker 3: which I agree with, but I don't know.
Speaker 2: If I would go at Riley Green too. You're you're
Speaker 2: in there too, You're yep. Everyone everyone's love that. Remember
Speaker 2: you can start making home run calls too, and there's
