Speaker 1: Hello, everybody, Welcome into the cycle. I am Ryan Warmley,
Speaker 1: joined by Mike Mayer. This is part three of our episode.
Speaker 1: This week we are talking pitching streamers and our two
Speaker 1: start picture competition. Quick reminder for everybody, if you are
Speaker 1: struggling with lineup decisions, our lineup Assistant recommends optimal lineup
Speaker 1: suggestions to maximize your team's performance each day or week.
Speaker 1: Just sink your league for tailored guidance based on your
Speaker 1: roster and league settings. Download the Fantasy Baseball My Playbook
Speaker 1: app or visit Fantasypros dot com slash MLB My Playbook
Speaker 1: to set your winning lineup today. Mayor you did not
Speaker 1: prep for our starting pitcher streamers for next week segment,
Speaker 1: so we will be doing this live, running through the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Pros tool and pick. We will do it live.
Speaker 1: We will not say that folk quote, but we will
Speaker 1: do it live and we will go through some streamers
Speaker 1: here each day of the upcoming week. Go ahead and
Speaker 1: start us.
Speaker 2: Off well, Worm, I don't have to prep because I
Speaker 2: have the Fantasy Pros Starting Pitture Streamer tool, So we're
Speaker 2: just going to do it together, just like on the
Speaker 2: last episode we updated my rankings together now we're going
Speaker 2: to go through streaming pictures together, and so we'll go through,
Speaker 2: like you said, day by day, and I'll read off
Speaker 2: some of the ones. I'm not going to mention players
Speaker 2: that are rostered in a majority of places, and so
Speaker 2: I kind of filtered this by I put in my
Speaker 2: shallowest league, which happens to be our internal ESPN league,
Speaker 2: because ESPN is a small roster, shallow format, and so
Speaker 2: I have I'm only showing to myself players who are
Speaker 2: available in that shallow league so that they should be
Speaker 2: available in your league for streaming on Monday. The top
Speaker 2: ranked pictures are Ben Brown, who has been hot of
Speaker 2: late at Saint Louis, Eduardo Rodriguez at the White Sox,
Speaker 2: which on our tool is highlighted in green as a
Speaker 2: very you know, a top five matchup at the White Sox,
Speaker 2: which you know I would agree, Nick Lodola, who he
Speaker 2: might not be available in your league anyway, he's fifty
Speaker 2: one percent rostered, but he's against the Yankees. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: stay away from that one. And then Chad Patrick against
Speaker 2: the Pirates, or Shane Smith against the Diamondbacks, or Walker
Speaker 2: Bueller against the Angels. Shane Smith is coming off a clunker,
Speaker 2: and the Diamondbacks, even though they haven't been playing great,
Speaker 2: it's still not a matchup. I want to target Chad Patrick.
Speaker 2: Even though it's a good matchup, I don't know that
Speaker 2: I trust him enough to even though it's a Pirates.
Speaker 2: I think for Monday, even though it's a it's kind
Speaker 2: of a terrifying thing to do. I think I'm gonna
Speaker 2: roll the dice with Edward or Roady, you guys against
Speaker 2: the White Sox because you're gonna get strikeouts, even though
Speaker 2: he's a terrifying pitcher.
Speaker 1: That was gonna be my pick too, of the names
Speaker 1: you write out.
Speaker 2: All right on to Tuesday. So for Tuesday, the top
Speaker 2: ranked pitcher is probably the one I would go with
Speaker 2: TODs Bradley at the Royals. He's the top rand picture
Speaker 2: for Tuesday, and the Royals are, according to the tool,
Speaker 2: a top five matchup. You could also justin Berylanders on this.
Speaker 2: Every week he's always like near the top. I just
Speaker 2: I think maybe once I had the stones to do it.
Speaker 2: This week it is the Marlins, though, who I'm shocked
Speaker 2: to see in the tool, even though it's an offense.
Speaker 2: We've been targeting a lot They're not a top five
Speaker 2: offense to target like, meaning they're a bottom five offense
Speaker 2: for fantasy in the league. So it's surprising that that
Speaker 2: they're not. But Nick Martinez against Yankee's not doing that.
Speaker 2: Ryan Nelson has a White Sox, not enough upside for there.
Speaker 2: He's not a big strikeout guy. Luis Avarno is a Tiger,
Speaker 2: is staying away from that. I think I'm just gonna
Speaker 2: stick with TODJ. Bradley at the Royals.
Speaker 1: I think you're crazy, you think.
Speaker 3: So TOJS Stash, Bradley's last three starts four innings, seven
Speaker 3: to earned runs, two walks, two strikeouts, four innings, five runs,
Speaker 3: none of them earned but still five runs.
Speaker 1: We talked about that in the first segment. That's still something.
Speaker 1: Four walks, five strikeouts, and then the most recent one
Speaker 1: one in the third innings six earned runs and two strikeouts.
Speaker 1: That's three straight Really.
Speaker 2: Poor to do for a bounce back. I actually thought
Speaker 2: his last start was better than that, So maybe I'm mistaken.
Speaker 1: He thought his last start where he gave up six
Speaker 1: earned runs in an inning at.
Speaker 2: No better than That's what I'm saying. I thought his
Speaker 2: last start was like a good one and not that clunker,
Speaker 2: so I must be thinking of a different picture. Was
Speaker 2: Shane bob that was recently?
Speaker 1: I think Shane Boss that I couldn't tell you, but
Speaker 1: I only know because the Orioles scored like eight runs
Speaker 1: off Bradley, or I guess it was only six earned runs,
Speaker 1: but they destroyed him last night, which is why I'm
Speaker 1: thinking of it.
Speaker 2: All right. I'm might have to rethink this then, because
Speaker 2: in my mind Todd Bradley had a good start his
Speaker 2: last time out. But I'm I must be. I'm going
Speaker 2: to see how his.
Speaker 1: Last good, actual good start was June first.
Speaker 2: Now I was just talking about it must be mixing
Speaker 2: up my pictures here. I'm glad you called me. It
Speaker 2: was Shane Bass, Shane Boz six shutout innings, six strikeouts,
Speaker 2: So I was mixing up my raised pictures.
Speaker 1: Your talented rais Yeah, so.
Speaker 2: That's what I was thinking. I thought he was heating up,
Speaker 2: but quite the opposite. So you're right, let's stay away
Speaker 2: from Dosh Bradley. We'll leave that in. We don't need
Speaker 2: to edit that out. That's just my mistake where I'm
Speaker 2: calling you out.
Speaker 1: No, I would am, I insist that would let that in.
Speaker 2: So what do you think are you going to go
Speaker 2: with Justin Berlander against the Marlins?
Speaker 1: Honestly, none of them stitd out to me this might
Speaker 1: be a day I skip. I always say sometimes the
Speaker 1: best streamer is to not stream anyone.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what I would maybe.
Speaker 1: Do, Nick Martinez if he wasn't facing the Yankees, although
Speaker 1: the Yankees have not scored well lately, so maybe.
Speaker 2: There is a dark horse here. He is possibly rostered
Speaker 2: in your league. He's got a fifty percent consensus roster
Speaker 2: rate across the leagues, which means like he's probably rostered
Speaker 2: in CBS, he's not rostered in ESPN, and it's fifty
Speaker 2: to fifty whether or not he's rostered in your Yahoo league.
Speaker 2: But Jacob is Eroski, it was like a really exciting prospect.
Speaker 2: He's he gets the Pirates, so he's a really fun,
Speaker 2: exciting picture with a big arm, and he has a
Speaker 2: good matchup. I think if he's available, that's what I'm doing.
Speaker 2: And he's not like highly rated, but that's because it's
Speaker 2: he's just, you know, so new.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I considered him in our waivers segment, but he
Speaker 1: was too rostered for it. I I would pick him
Speaker 1: over the other names you read, Yeah, I just swing
Speaker 1: for the upside.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Jacob Missy Ross available obviously. Yeah, Tuesday, all right,
Speaker 2: let's do Wednesday. This this day is also not looking great.
Speaker 2: Gavin Williams against the Blue Ja Blue Jays is not
Speaker 2: doing that. Michael Waka against the Rays at home. I
Speaker 2: don't hate that one.
Speaker 1: Raise a bit hot lately though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And when it comes to streaming, I always kind of,
Speaker 2: you know, you look at like best and worst case scenario,
Speaker 2: and even in the best case scenario, Waka does not
Speaker 2: strike out a lot of a lot of batters, and
Speaker 2: so it's you know, it's more likely this is not
Speaker 2: going to go all for you than if it then
Speaker 2: if it is going to go well for you. Edward
Speaker 2: Cabrera at San Francisco with with Raphael Endeavors, I'm probably
Speaker 2: not doing that. I don't trust Cabrera just yet. Colton
Speaker 2: Gordon against the Phillies, Nope. Brady Singer against the Yankees, Nope.
Speaker 2: I think this is a stay away. Maybe maybe you do.
Speaker 2: Tomy Yuki Sigano against the Rangers. But and the other
Speaker 2: name I would considers Hunter Dobbins, who's been hot against
Speaker 2: the Angels. Those are those are the two pictures with
Speaker 2: decent matchups who should be available. But I think if
Speaker 2: you really unless you really need endings, it's probably a
Speaker 2: stay away.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think i'd largely stay away, like Dobbins is
Speaker 1: probably my favorite.
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna have to adjust my filters because Thursday,
Speaker 2: I'm not even seeing any matchups for like Thursday, and
Speaker 2: there were the rest of the week in the tool.
Speaker 2: Unless what unless I'm just just my.
Speaker 1: Filters, we're gonna SeeMe this is operator error and not
Speaker 1: an issue.
Speaker 2: Hopefully, what there are we on Thursday?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, maybe you should prep for these
Speaker 1: segments in the future.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm always looking at the tool. The tool right
Speaker 2: now is blank. Let me adjust my filter again.
Speaker 1: Why don't you look at Friday and see if it's
Speaker 1: just a one.
Speaker 2: Day four days it's through the weekend. It could just
Speaker 2: be a glitch with what's going on. But well, I'll
Speaker 2: just look at the schedule. So for Thursday, he's been
Speaker 2: good since it's been back. He's probably roster in a
Speaker 2: decent amount of places. But are any interest in Clayton
Speaker 2: Kershaw at the Rockies?
Speaker 1: Not really? Is do you have interest in him? Uh?
Speaker 2: He's been good. I don't know if I mean, it's
Speaker 2: also like the Rockies offense has been better, and Coursefield
Speaker 2: isn't like the scary monster that it used to be
Speaker 2: because their offense hasn't been great, but they have been better.
Speaker 2: But that's probably like a low upside, low floor situation.
Speaker 2: Shane Boss at the Royals, your.
Speaker 1: Boy, it's been hot, definitely him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he might be rostered Eric Lower against the Guardians.
Speaker 2: I don't know that I'm going to do that one.
Speaker 2: It's again a low op side. It's a really small
Speaker 2: slate on Thursday, and this is probably another stay away
Speaker 2: day unless Bass unless available. I don't think many of
Speaker 2: these other guys are going to be available Friday. Do
Speaker 2: uh you know he's been hot. It's a bad matchup, though,
Speaker 2: is Brian Beao. He's been hot. He just shut down
Speaker 2: the Yankees. But it is at home against the Blue Jays.
Speaker 2: I don't know that I want to mess around with
Speaker 2: Blue Jays. That offense has been been good, but BeO
Speaker 2: has been pretty good too. He just.
Speaker 1: I'd I think I'd be interested in it. I'd be
Speaker 1: open to it if I really wanted to.
Speaker 2: The Yankee Star looked a lot better before the Yankees
Speaker 2: just like haven't scored a run since that starts, So
Speaker 2: it doesn't look as good now when you were like, wow,
Speaker 2: you shut down the Yankees, and it's like, oh, the
Speaker 2: Yankees actually stinking right now. Or maybe he broke he
Speaker 2: might have broken the Yank freeland at the Brewers not
Speaker 2: doing that, Noah Cameron. He's probably rostered though. And also
Speaker 2: it's against the Dodgers, so no, no, I have about Jose
Speaker 2: Ciriano Soriano against the Nationals.
Speaker 1: Man, the Nationals stinky. They still lost like eleven in
Speaker 1: a row. They haven't won one yet. Right, I'm not
Speaker 1: forgetting away.
Speaker 2: I'm bid I know that there. Their manager came out
Speaker 2: and was like, well, I can tell you one thing.
Speaker 1: It's not the coaches, and I was like, yikes, I've
Speaker 1: never even when they won the World Series. I've never
Speaker 1: been a big Davey Martinez guy.
Speaker 2: So yeah, what a quote. Yeah, Nick abel is probably
Speaker 2: rostered landing group against the White Sox, and I could
Speaker 2: do that. He's also if you're in points leagues, he's
Speaker 2: probably rostered in points leagues though, because of their relief
Speaker 2: picture eligibility, I've I roster him in a couple of
Speaker 2: point leagues for that reason. So that he's you know,
Speaker 2: you can start him in a reliever spot. I pretty
Speaker 2: much roll him out there whenever. He's a two star
Speaker 2: pitcher in my relief spot. Yeah, that's that's probably it
Speaker 2: for Friday. But I got to be honest, that's more
Speaker 2: than we normally get out of Fridays, So it's not bad. Yeah,
Speaker 2: onto the weekend Saturday sears at the Yankees. Nope, even
Speaker 2: though the Yankees are not the Yankees right now, it's
Speaker 2: in Yankee Stadium and at some point they're going to
Speaker 2: be the Yankees again, and I'm not. I don't want
Speaker 2: to be like holding the hot potato when they when
Speaker 2: they turn back of the Yankees. So how about your
Speaker 2: boy Kramer against the Rays? You said the Rays have
Speaker 2: been hot.
Speaker 1: Though they have been hot, it's still not a.
Speaker 2: Very scary line.
Speaker 1: So I would say no.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's not a good pitcher, but they're not
Speaker 2: scary line up either.
Speaker 1: Well, he's capable of having a good start, but I
Speaker 1: just find him too hard to predict, so I wouldn't
Speaker 1: risk it.
Speaker 2: This guy's astorship is he's been a streamer in the past.
Speaker 2: The past few weeks, his Rochester has been coming up
Speaker 2: with Colin Ray. He gets the Astros, which we normally
Speaker 2: think are the Astros as a scary offense, and they're
Speaker 2: not very good right now, and so they're actually an
Speaker 2: offense you want to target.
Speaker 1: And so Colin Ray, is it not RAYA? Is it Ray?
Speaker 2: I used to say Ray, and I've heard keep other
Speaker 2: people say Ray. So I think it's Ray.
Speaker 1: Maybe it is Ray. I don't know. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to claim to know that one.
Speaker 2: I mean, we can look it up. We have the
Speaker 2: resources on our at our disposal. We got nine minutes,
Speaker 2: nine minutes to play with and gosh darn it, we're
Speaker 2: gonna use all of them. It's just Ray, it.
Speaker 1: Is I would prefer that we don't because I have
Speaker 1: another show.
Speaker 2: It is Ray, Yeah, but I don't, So it's fine, okay.
Speaker 2: Andrew Abbott's.
Speaker 1: Uh, no.
Speaker 2: Houser, no Gusto, no Casparius for the Dodgers is not
Speaker 2: a bad one. He's available in a lot of places,
Speaker 2: and he's pitched pretty well when he's got a chance,
Speaker 2: and he's at the Royals, it's a he's a good one.
Speaker 2: Good offense behind him facing the Royals. That's probably my
Speaker 2: choice is casparious. Will Warren has also been Britain pretty.
Speaker 1: Hot eleven strikeouts last year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Athletics, that's a weird offense because like if
Speaker 2: they feel like they should be a lot better than
Speaker 2: they are. They have a lot of big, big names,
Speaker 2: they have firepower, but it feels like they go quiet
Speaker 2: a lot. But I also don't know that I want
Speaker 2: to like tease that like this game. I mean, for
Speaker 2: that game, it wouldn't matter which ballpark's in because they're
Speaker 2: both good for hitters, but that one is in Yankee Stadium,
Speaker 2: So I'm probab gonna say away from them, but I'll
Speaker 2: probably just go Cosparius for Saturday and then on to Sunday.
Speaker 2: Not doing Sevarino against the Yankees, not doing your boy,
Speaker 2: Trevor Rodgers, not doing Walker Bueller against the Blue Jays.
Speaker 2: Jamison Tyone, He's roster in a lot of places, but
Speaker 2: he should be more roster because he's been like sneaky
Speaker 2: really good this year. James and Tyone, he's got the astros.
Speaker 2: If he's available, I'm definitely streaming him. He also would
Speaker 2: be a two star pitcher this week. If you want
Speaker 2: to if you're you want to get down with that,
Speaker 2: he's rostered in a lot of places, but he's available
Speaker 2: in a lot of leagues too, because I was just
Speaker 2: looking at him last night for a couple of my
Speaker 2: leagues when I was prepping my bids for the weekend.
Speaker 2: And then the other one is Chad Patrick, who we
Speaker 2: kind of put our nose up at him for Monday.
Speaker 2: But if you want to go with Patrick in a
Speaker 2: weekly league, he is home against the Pirates, home against
Speaker 2: the Rockies. So that's not a bad two star pitcher.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's pretty good.
Speaker 2: So I'll probably just stop there. That's probably what I'll
Speaker 2: do and rangers for us if he's available, pick him
Speaker 2: up two star picture this week, but he's probably not available.
Speaker 1: And then I assume you prepared a bunch of honorable
Speaker 1: mentions too.
Speaker 2: Uh No, we just talked about all of them. We
Speaker 2: honored all of them.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get let's go to the two start
Speaker 1: picture competition here. Uh we're a couple of weeks delayed
Speaker 1: and catching up with the scoring because we missed last week,
Speaker 1: so we had Carlos for down against Joe Ryan. I
Speaker 1: made the decision that were Don was better. The total
Speaker 1: fantasy points was close, but I think if you look
Speaker 1: at the two stat lines across those, it was pretty
Speaker 1: clear that Radon not by much but was slightly better.
Speaker 1: Now we have an interesting scenario with the most recently
Speaker 1: completed week. We obviously didn't do one last week, so
Speaker 1: we actually don't have anything besides this most completed week.
Speaker 1: You had Andrew Abbit, I had Chris Sale. Kelly picked
Speaker 1: Chris Sale for me. Actually neither of them made two
Speaker 1: starts to that, and both of them made had excellent starts,
Speaker 1: but they each only made one start. So I don't
Speaker 1: really know how we want to proceed with this, and
Speaker 1: we just throw it out just throughout the week. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that, mostly because the one start for
Speaker 1: Abbott was a complete game shutout, so I would have
Speaker 1: lost if we did the one start to each other.
Speaker 1: But the fact that it happened for both I think,
Speaker 1: and I don't know why it happened because it happened
Speaker 1: whill I was on vacation, so I wasn't paying attention.
Speaker 1: I don't think there was like injury related. It just
Speaker 1: seemed like both some schedule was reworked at some point
Speaker 1: in the rotation in and neither of them happened, So
Speaker 1: both great starts now here. Here's what I will ask
Speaker 1: you this. Can we reuse those players?
Speaker 2: I would say yes?
Speaker 1: Okay, so I am so eligible to use Chris Sale.
Speaker 1: You are so eligible to use Andrew Abbit?
Speaker 2: Are you going to use him right now this week?
Speaker 1: Because he's I'll take that trade?
Speaker 3: Uh No?
Speaker 1: Truthfully, I didn't actually remember to look, so.
Speaker 2: He does make two stared look.
Speaker 1: Okay, well maybe I will. Who are you going with?
Speaker 2: Three years? Well, I should tell you his matchups before
Speaker 2: you decided to pick him, because it is.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna pull it up now because I
Speaker 1: just I completely forgot to actually prepare this, and I'm
Speaker 1: only realizing now.
Speaker 2: So I knew I didn't prepare mine now, but I
Speaker 2: also didn't make a pick. But I I already picked
Speaker 2: Treek School. It would have been my school, would have
Speaker 2: been my pick. We've both already used to Reek Schooble,
Speaker 2: so I can't use him.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, who's who are Sales matchups? I might just
Speaker 1: pick him he's.
Speaker 2: At the Mets and then home versus the Phillies. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go with Brian Woo Woo Woo, Brian Woo Mighty
Speaker 2: Ducks two for you. I know you love that movie. Yeah?
Speaker 1: Classic? Uh oh? Should I go Ranger Sores?
Speaker 2: Yeah? If not?
Speaker 1: Now he does have he gets he does have at
Speaker 1: Atlanta and at Houston. I don't know if I like that.
Speaker 1: Combo thinks boo bitch gets the Dodgers, which is unfortunate.
Speaker 1: Framberg gets the Phillies and the Cubs. I've used Scooble,
Speaker 1: which who would be the obvious choice?
Speaker 2: Of course, which I said. If you're listening when I
Speaker 2: was talking, I.
Speaker 1: Know I'm thinking out loud. I did hear you say that?
Speaker 1: Clay Holmes also gets the Braves in a start? Do
Speaker 1: I want to be a Castillo? Has been bad, but
Speaker 1: he has a couple of decent matchup no stop stop,
Speaker 1: Maybe I should do Chad Mitchell Parker. I will go
Speaker 1: with I could do ty Own. You're selling him. But
Speaker 1: in this scoring setting.
Speaker 2: I don't know this economy.
Speaker 1: Well, he doesn't get enough strikeouts and so in our
Speaker 1: league settings that's gonna really hurt me. I will go,
Speaker 1: and I'm just I'm just delaying at this point. I
Speaker 1: go Taj Bradley.
Speaker 2: Coming off a great start.
Speaker 1: Now Bradley, Yeah, now joking aside. I will go with
Speaker 1: you know what, I'll go Ranger Suarez.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 1: Lean into it all right.
Speaker 2: Hopefully this is not.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say. It may very well be all right,
Speaker 1: So we'll see how that goes. I got a guy
Speaker 1: out here to go do another show, so we'll go
Speaker 1: ahead and wrap up there. Thanks very ready for tuning
Speaker 1: in for Mayor. I'm Ryan Warman. We'll see you again
