Hey Moorman from em Welcome to love you, Las Vegas

great podcast for you. As we get on someone who's
got the name g R E G in her name,
Taylor mcgreg or, so a fellow Gregor. I guess you

(00:30):
But that said, we're gonna have her aboard. She does
great workover at Watch Marquee taking a look at the
Chicago Cubs as her the main dugout reporter for them.
She does tremendous workover at MOB Network. We're gonna be
talking about the Cubs. We had actually a rain out yesterday,
so we were able to get pretty much on the
spot because we were doing this interview right around about
five o'clock PM Pacific time as to what the pitching

(00:52):
assignments are going to be for the Chicago Cubs. She's
going to break that down a little bit. As their
game against the Miami Marlins got washed out and just
talk a little bit about the Nlcentral in general. Taylor
does a great job over there at al Mobe not
working at watch Marquis, so gonna be great to get
her on and segment number two in the final segment,

(01:33):
Did not get in any Twitter slash x questions today.
But we had a fun day of baseball on Thursday.
It was a small slate, but a good one. Let's
dive into it, try to find some trends and try
to get to know these teams a little bit.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Better games for yesterday is Greg buzzing about. Here is
the rowdy recap.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
We had two overs and two wonders, so a very
nice split there, and we had two road teams win
and we saw two home teams win. The Tampa Bay
Rays led things off by being able to take down
the La Angels, this by a count of two to one.
As Ryan Pepiote, he was able to go out there
and he shoved for a very nice start for Pepiot.
He goes six innings, allows one run, punches out seven
from there a raised bullpen that actually entered into this

(02:11):
game dead last in the Big leagues with regards to
Bullpenny or they were able to get online Garrett Clevenger
at Colum Bouchet Film Mayton. They all lend a squirrel
as sending. Meanwhile for the Tampa Bay race to go
oero of three with men in scoring position, but they
were able to find a way to do just enough
against Griffin canneho nd a relatively solid heart two runs
surrounded and five and a third innings Lewis Garcia five
outside the bullpen's corress met more a Squirrels signing of

(02:33):
his own, but other than Mike Trout stealing a pair
of bags. Nothing to him for the Angels with regards
to their offense, the Cleveland Guardians, they take down the
Boston Red Sox by a count of five to four.
And for the Cleveland Guardians, it was a very successful
series for them out there in Boston. They're able to
take three of four and now they've won four out
of their last five. Overall is for Cleveland, no one runs,
but they hit four of nine with men in scoring

(02:54):
position and Carlos Cookie Carasco went five to two thirds
innings allowed two runs, did a solid job there. You
did have Kate Smith give up two runs in a
third of an ending, but Tim Aaron Emmanuel class a
hunter gadis they all come in close the door with
a squirrel of setting. Meanwhile, for the Boston Red Sox,
Cooper Criswell and Brandon Bernardino, they were pretty much the
opener and bulk guy. For Griswell, not a lot of

(03:15):
bulk though two and a third endings he allows four runs,
but only one of which was earned badly hurt by
a pair of airs that completely went against in Bernardino.
Two squirrel as setting says the opener, and then it
was pretty much a full on bulk game. As Chris
Martin lentz a scoreles setting, you had it two scoreless settings.
Justin Slayton has really been impressed with me and Joe Jacquez.
He comes in for one and two thirds endings allows

(03:35):
a run along the way. So the Red Sox they
were drowned by airs and that casted them in this one,
and Ourdy came out were grt. A pick wasn't necessarily
the best read on Jack Lighter, as he gave up
quite a few runs, but the Rangers had his back
nine to seven the finals, so he were able to
be winners with Lighter. Well, he got lit up in
this one seven runs surrendered in three and two thirds ends.
But how about the Rangers bullpen jose Laclok scroll of

(03:58):
setting jose Enya. He does yell and yell over the game,
three squirrels ennings and then Kirbys gets the final four
outs of the game to be able to get the safe. Meanwhile,
for the Rangers trio of home runs, jonah Heim Marcus
Simeon both get their third run. The campaign off to
Mahida and Katmaida gives one up to a Doles Scars
he had for his fifth for Maida. It's been a
miserable start to the season. Fro him six runs, five

(04:19):
with which earned into it two thirds innings, including those
three bombs. From there, the bullpen was fine. Alex Iedo
two and a third innings. He gives up an underned
run as you had three airs out there in the
field for the Detroit Tigers, that costed them. Shelby Miller,
he gave up an under and run and is ending
as well. Tyler holdnell E's slaying thank you bye for
two squirrels, and Andrew j Fit does a lot of run.
It is ending the work. But for the Tigers kent

(04:40):
to Maida. They did put them behind the eight and
for the years in the Diamondbacks they were put buying
the eight pall having to try to go up against
the Logan Web five to zero. The Giants are able
to get it Donas for Ryan Nelson, he had to
leave this game after two innings with an injury. To
not give up any runs in those two innings and
in an impromptu bulk spot Logan Allen, who's been a
guy that's been a little all over the place. Not bad.

(05:01):
One runs three hundred in four and two thirds endings.
He did have Ben Jarvis from there give up three
runs to two thirds of an inning hurt by can't
all Marte fielding air, so only one of those was earned.
And then Kyle Nelson gives up a run in two
thirds of ninning as well. But for the AARs in
the Diamondbacks absolutely nothing doing on offense. Logan Web seven
scrorel of settings always is a guy that you want
to look at differently at home rather than away from home.

(05:23):
And then you saw Ryan Walker come in to get
the final ending of the game scoreless. Tyler Rodgers, he
was able to give you a score of setting as well.
So the Giants find a way to be able to
get the job done. And if you're looking trend wise
at what we're all getting in Major League Baseball thus far,
this season still has been a rather overwhelming season, but
things are starting to get rather even out one or
thirty eight overs to just one hundred and thirty seven hundreds.

(05:45):
So bookmakers have figured out where to be able to
play these totals. And if you're looking at the road teams,
they've been so pretty hot on the money line one
forty nine and one thirty four and he out of
fifty two point seven percent clip while favors theyuring at
fifty nine point three percent. We have been seeing a
nice run on favorites three lee. If you look at
the last seven days in Major League Baseball, favorites sixty
and thirty five on the money line. So that's what

(06:06):
we're seeing right now, and that's what we all got
on Thursday. Brief Thursday. But coming next about if we
talked with Taylor McGregor. She does great work covering the
Chicago Cubs. She does great workover at MLB Network. We're
going to be talking about the Central Division and the
chicag Cubs. Right here, I'm the Baseball Betting Show with
myself Greg Peterson now Park.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
WMGCAS breaking down every game every day in Major League Baseball.
Greg Peterson.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
I'm we'll be Las Vegas for the Baseball Betting Show
with myself Greg Peterson now part of the Visa Family
podcasts and it is great to have on our guests
as Taylor McGregor does an absolutely tremendous job covering the Cubs.
Also has a great name as well, since this show
has a guy named greg on here good to be
able to get on McGregor aboard us. She does great
workover at Watch Marquee. She does great workover at MLB

(06:56):
Network as well, and for those are our college football
fans as well during the season, I know that she
does some sideline reporting on some of those great college
football games as well. And to be able to follow
Taylor on Twitter slash x easy enough for first and
last am Taylor McGregor with an underscore in between that
first and last game and Taylor, it's great to have
you board.

Speaker 4 (07:12):
Thank you, thanks for the introduction that was quite one.
Happy to be on with you.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Great to have you aboard. And what else has been
terrific is watching the ANL Central this far this season
as the Milwaukee Brewers the Chicago Cubs have both been
off to a very hot start to the season. But
I want to get your thoughts on this because I
just feel like from watching from afar, this is the
most competitive one through five that the division has been
in quite a few years. Since typically we have like

(07:36):
the Pittsburgh Pirates the Reds one of those teams being
a real slug out there in the division. But it
really doesn't feel like there's any sort of that bottom
team this year in the NL Central.

Speaker 4 (07:46):
Yeah, and I would say it's probably the most competitive
division in the National League right now. You think about
the last the slicer the Marlins are having. Of course
in the West it's the Colorado Rockies, and so from
top to bottom, I mean even at this point in
the season, and you can make a case that any
of these teams could win in the entire division. So
I think that's what makes it fun. And I can't

(08:06):
wait for September and to see where all these teams
are at.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Oh absolutely, I think that it's going to be tremendous.
Comes off to eleven and seven start, so they have
been right towards the top of the division, though they
are going to be probably need to play a little
bit of catch up because the game for Thursday that
we were supposed to get that Guy Wash show. As
we know out there in the Midwest during mid April,
the conditions aren't necessarily ideal. But what do you think
the overall alignment for the pitching is going to be

(08:30):
now that we do have this rain to license. I
know that this is a little bit TBD and We're
doing this just minutes after the game for Thursday was
officially postponed.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
Yeah, I think you'll probably see Jamison Tyn now on Friday,
so just move the rotation back. We'll see what they
plan to do on Sunday. The thing I know about
Craig Council and I've learned in this early month covering him,
is he's very creative and trying to predict exactly what
they're going to do pitching wise, I'm not sure if

(08:59):
I'm knowledgeable enough to yet, as I'm sure they have
something up their sleeves because you always got to be
creative when there's that doubleheader. It provides a real challenge
for your pitching staff.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Absolutely, And you're talking to someone who was born and
raised in Wisconsin, so I'm a Milwaukee Brewers fan and
I still haven't figured out all that Craig Council that's
how to do as well. And I do think that
that's a good jumping off topic for this as well,
just because with Craig Council's clearly running the Chicago comes
a little bit differently this year. We saw it on
Wednesday where he had Jordan Wicks and Hayden Woznsky pretty

(09:29):
much piggyback off of one another. It was a massful
way to be able to save a bullpen that had
been used in multiple innings in that previous game against
the Arizona Diamondbacks. And just what have you noticed with
regards to the Chicago comes pitching staff, Because what we
were supposed to be getting for Friday was the gentleman
that comes over from Japan and showed to Imanaga. He
was supposed to be going on Friday, but we know

(09:50):
that he was trying to get a little bit more
rest from him. And now it looks like Imanaga might
be getting a full six ays off.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
Yeah, which is always I think the ideal situation is
to give your starting pitch extra time off, but you
just don't always get the luxury of doing so. Listen,
the Cub's pitching staff was hit early on opening day.
Your ace, Justin Steele, who you know, finished amongst the
top pitchers in the National League a year ago, goes
down with the hamstring strain, and all of a sudden,

(10:15):
you're like, okay, here we go. That was on top
of Jamison Tyne already being on the il. You opened
the season on the il with a low backstrain, so
they've had to do a little bit of shuffling early.
Some of the guys that you expected to be long
relievers out of the bullpen ended up having to start,
and then your bullpen has been pretty tax They've been
asked to eat a lot of innings. I know, going
into the game on Wednesday, they were fifth in all

(10:37):
of Baseball in innings pitched by relievers. So it has
been a little bit of a struggle, if you will, early.
But the good news is Jamison Tyne it was expected
to pitch today, so he is back healthy, and then
hopefully in the next couple of weeks you see Justin
Steele resume and join the rotation again.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
That's great to be big for them, especially with a
little bit of an under the radar move as well
with Julian mar Whether being injured, who I know was
good that Cubs of bullpen last year, as well as
Taylor McGregor does great work cover in the Cubs. She's
over at Watch Marquee and MLB Network, joining me right
here on the Baseball Betting Show, and with regards to
the Cubs as well, what I think it's been really
intriguing is the way that this team has been stacking runs,

(11:15):
because I was really looking forward to that game on
Thursday as the Cubs enter into the series with the
Miami Marlins, generating about seven point three runs per game
when they're at home, certainly not quite seven point three
away from home, but it's still have been rocks on
on that front as well. But what have you made
out of this Cubs lineup thus far? One that has
been getting all this production is by Cody Bellinger up
until Wednesday, really not producing a lot for the team.

Speaker 4 (11:37):
Yeah, I think they're essentially picking up where they left
off a year ago. Fourth in the National League and
runs per game a season ago. They have basically that
entire lineup back. But the X factor in this year's
lineup has been Michael Bush, who was brought over in
a trade this offseason with the Dodgers. A lefty power bat,
and that's exactly what he's provided. Early on his power

(11:58):
we saw him homer and five straight games tied and
broke all sorts of records. So he's been a very
welcome edition. And I still expect Bellinger to, you know,
resume to his ways of a year ago. But it
might just take a little bit of time. So it's
been nice to see the offense being able to click
without him, and a large part of that has been

(12:19):
the success of Michael Bush.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Yeah, Michael Bush has been tremendous here to point all
those home runs that he's bayle rack up for the Dodgers,
I know that they thought relatively highly of him, but
I don't know if anyone saw five home runs in
five games in the month of April for them, So
that has been massive. At c A. Suzuki being able
to come on strong as well, that has been big
for the team, and I do think that's going to
be important out there in and out Central where I

(12:43):
feel like the offense has been a little bit of
a surprise for a lot of these teams. Like coming
into the year, I thought the Milwaukee Burves was going
to be a team that was going to hang their
head on pitching and not have a lot of offense
entering into the week it's falling off, but they were
actually the number one team in all of baseball in
terms of runs per game entering into that series against
the Padres. We've seen the Pittsburgh Steelers, or we've seen
the Pittsburgh Pirates go off a little bit with regards

(13:05):
to their offense, but still they have been a nice
run producing team. And why to get your thoughts there
in an NL Central where I expected coming into the
year that a lot of the division will be decided
by pitching. But I feel like the offense is pretty
much for all these teams except for Saint Louis, have
been a nice pride.

Speaker 4 (13:21):
Yeah, and listen, it's a early so I try not
to get too repped up because I still think it's
you know, what we call small sample. But to your point, Milwaukee,
especially in recent years, has not been a good offensive team.
They have a lot of exciting young talent. Jackson Tario
at the top of the list, who's had a nice
start to the season for him and in certainly contributing. Obviously,

(13:43):
Christian Yelich had an amazing start. It's unfortunate he's been
placed on the injured list with that low back issue.
I think their offense will be better now. Do I
think they'll continue at the clip they've been producing, Probably not,
but enjoy it while you can. And as for the Pirates, again,
a lot of young talent and there's going to be
ups and downs, and they've certainly enjoyed a nice little

(14:04):
ride at the beginning of the season, and you're seeing
it neutralized just a tad and I expect them to
be better than they were a year ago offensively.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
And it's going to be interesting to see if consistency
is going to be there for the Cincinnati Reds as well,
because I take a look at the division, and certainly
the Pirates have captured the imagination of many, but I
know that there was a lot of buzz involving the
Cincinnati Reds coming into the season, and thus far, nothing great,
nothing terrible. They're right at five hundred. But how do
you view this Reds team? Because I think that they're

(14:31):
the team that other than the Pirates, because I do
think that the Pirates, just overall in the big leagues
might be the highest ceiling bois floor sort of team
with their youth, but I feel like the Reds are
still sort of in that same boat with them. Just
now getting back to Nick Bodolo and watching La de
la Cruz, I feel like he's got so much potential
to be one of the great starts in all of baseball,
but I feel like he personally and along with the

(14:53):
other guys that are younger. For this Reds team just
need to learn how to make the routine play because
they have the ability to be able to make the
special Yeah.

Speaker 4 (15:00):
I think defense for them a year ago was a
real challenge and we've seen that continue a little bit.
Look I said about the Reds coming into the season,
I thought they were one of the most talented teams
in the division. I really like their starting rotation. You know,
you talk about a guy like Hunter Green who has
ace like stuff. There's been ups and downs for him.
Certainly the swing and miss is real, and I think

(15:23):
he will continually progress. And I think Nick Lodolo his
health is important as you mentioned, and there's certainly some
key factors with their team when it comes to health.
I like their youth. I think they have a lot
of really exciting young talent. I mean, obviously Spencer Steer
his bat a year ago speaks for itself. In Karnossion
Strand Christian and Karnossio and Strand, he has been really

(15:43):
fun to watch some real pop in his bat, so
I could go up and down the lineup. I think
they're a team that could very much be at the
top of the division at the end of the season
if they can stay healthy.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
YEP, I agree with you, and I just take a
look at all five of these seams. It's something that
we alluded to a little bit before. I do feel
like all these teams I have had the very least
a potential of finishing five hundred, much like we saw
in that Ale East a season to go. As Taylor McGregor,
who does great work over i've watched Marquee MLB Network,
it's so much more joined me right here on the
Baseball Betting Show, and Taylor you know this as well

(16:13):
as I do cover in the Great Game of Baseball.
Three weeks into the season, you don't want to be
making and I'll be all sweeping sort of comparisons, Like
right now, we've got a few teams that have been
up that have been down, the astors being six and fourteen.
I don't think that they're going to continue to have
a win percentage of thirty percent for the end of
the season. But is there anything that you've seen from
the first three or so weeks of the season that

(16:35):
has jumped out as a little bit of a surprise
that you think might be able to have a little
bit of staying power, whether that's in the NLS Central
or whether that be just all around the sports. I
know that you do a great job over at a
movie network.

Speaker 4 (16:46):
Let's talk about the Keying City Royals, shall we? I
mean Royalty if you will. I don't think anybody had
them as a front runner in the ALE Central, I
know right now again early, but they're behind Cleveland, and
I think down the stretch maybe they are a team
with their pitching staff and their young talent and you know,
mixed in with Salving Perez and some of the veterans

(17:07):
who might be able to bring these young kids along,
I think they might be sustainable. We'll see, you know.
I'm excited to watch them a little bit more. They've
definitely caught my eye, They've caught a lot of people's attention,
and we'll kind of see how it all plays out.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
Absolutely, I'm right there with you with the Kansas City Royals.
Would like to see a little bit more consistency from
some of those young bats. But Bobby A Junior's real deal.
You mentioned Salvador Perez and Cole Ragan's a little bit
of a dark horse guy for that American League. Sy
Young out there in an ale central where pitching has
been very good. Looking at you, the Minnesota Twins, looking
at you, the Chicago White Sox need a little bit

(17:42):
more from some of the bats in that division as well.
So it's going to be a fun race to take
a look at it ORMs of both the centrals. And Taylor,
I know that you do a great job just covering
this great game. Your main beat is the Chicago comes
over there at watch Marquis, But I know that you
do tremendous workover now will be network, it's so much
more so let the good people at home know it's
all on tap for you. And how people are able
to follow on social media and all the platforms.

Speaker 4 (18:02):
Oh well, I appreciate that. Yeah, I do some stuff
that will be network with the Cubs with ESPN. You
can follow me on Instagram and Twitter if you would like.
Taylor and her score McGregor and I'm just so thankful
for a job covering baseball and then in the fall
college football.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
So pretty fortunate, absolutely, And Taylor does a tremendous job
when it comes to the football front as well. So
for those of you there football friends, be mindful of
then and Taylor does a great job day in and
day out looking at this great game that we all
know and love. Was great to be able to get
her insight today, So big thanks to Taylor for joining
me right here on the Baseball Betting Show now part
of the Vsent Family podcast coming in next full slate
of baseball with every team in action on this Friday,

(18:40):
and give you a pick and analysis and every game
on the betting board for this Friday. Ask we Tamal.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
Breaking down every game every day in Major League Baseball.
Greg Peterson.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
And re Beg You'll love me Las Vegas for the
Make Small Betting Show with myself Greg Gaterson, part of
the Decent Family podcasts. It was great to be able
to get a fellow McGregor a board, Taylor McGregor. I
say that because my name is Greg Peterson. She does
an absolutely tremendous job over there at Mob Network, does
a great job over at watch Marquee following the Chicago Cubs.

(19:16):
Was nice to be able to get her insight. She
does a great job following this great game that we
all know and love, and certainly it's going to be
a fun race out there in the NL Central. So
big thanks to Taylor for joining me in the last segment.
Now it is that time the podcast. They can be
picks in analysis on every game on the betting board
for this Baseball Friday as we touch them all.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
If a game is listed on the betting board, Greg
has a side and the total on it, so it
is time to touch them all.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Do you know that, as per usual, any changes are
made to these plays will be listed up on my
Twitter slash x feed at you and unders forty one.
We are going to be going in lost excertation or
this is where we go with the NATIONHLEA games first,
then the American League games and any injured league games.
He's there going to be at the bottom. That'll keep
things all nice, neat, clean and easy. So without further ado,
let's have it on this first game of one nine

(20:00):
to two on the benning board. It is the Miami Marlins.
They have throw their facing up against the Chicago Cubs.
This is the pitching matchup we were supposed to get
on Thursday. As aj Buck is on the bump for
the Miami Marlins and Jamison Taiwan is on the bump
for the Cubs. Right now, the Cubs are a minus
one sixty five or so favorite between plus one forty
and plus one fifty that number on Miami. Right now,

(20:21):
we're seeing a total of ten and a half at
CIRCA with the under at minus one eighteen the over
at minus one oh two. When this was pulled off
the board, you had a relatively similar money line. Now
total was seven and a half and you might be
wondering why the change in total, Well, it's because of
the Wins situation was supposed to be blowing in quite
a bit on Thursday. Now when it comes to Friday,
not necessarily blowing super out, but it's blowing quite directionally,

(20:45):
so that is going to be affecting things. But because
it's not blowing like straight out, I did tell my
total at nine point four. So if we do indeed
get a ten and a half or so like we're
seeing right now, I'm gonna be looking at the under.
But with the Cubs willing to lay about minus one
oh five on this run line. Nobody has a run
lineup because most books don't have a total up. If
you don't have a total up, you don't have our
online posted. But that's that for a j Puck just

(21:08):
pretty much what I said yesterday. He gives up fourteen
walks and twelve and two thirds innings, and I have
no idea how you're supposed to back this guy at
this point. He's got a five ninety two ERA and
a fielding independent that's a full point higher. Has not
been good, to say the least. And for Jamis to
dye on he only went about six and a third
innings in his two rehab appearances. So I'm very questionable

(21:29):
as to what you're gonna be able to get out
of him. And for James Todan, he doesn't necessarily give
up a lot of walks. Last year, let's only give
it up about two and a half walks per nine innings.
He got about each strikeouts per nine innings. Not great,
not terrible. He's going to be backed up by a
bullpen that is going to be well rested. So if
you need someone like a Keegan Thompson to be able
to hold down the four for a few innings, they
just picked up Colton Brewer, these guys should be able

(21:50):
to do so. Meanwhile, for the Miami Rowlins, this bullpen
is right now the worst in the National League in
terms of VRA. Brian Hoying has legitimately been your best
reliever thus far season. The guys like six O Sanchez,
Perch Smith, Andrew Nardi, they're all doing a pretty awful
job right now at the bender Uscar Brezobin. We're athlete
decent last season, but we have not seen Brazobin at

(22:11):
all this far this season. He's been dealing with injuries.
So you've got a lot of issues on that front end.
For the Miami Marlins. Jake Berger their top home run
later he has been out of the full the last
two games. That's suck great. Luis Rias along with Tim
Anderson both thinking you were right around about it two
sixty five to two seventy five, Bryan David Cruz, he's
been able to give you a trio of home runs.
He's hitting about it two ninety as well. But this

(22:33):
has been one of the most struggling lineups out there
in the big league now. If you look at the
Baseball Savant numbers, they're doing for a little bit of positivity,
it seems, but I don't know if they're gonna be
able to get it here. Meanwhile, the person that Taylor
McGregor was referring to Michael Bush six home runs as
far this season, He's done a really nice job of
moving the line as he sate. Uzuki Gear Cooper are

(22:53):
leading above a three und for this bunch. They haven't
see it for the world's greatest average. You do have
guys like Christopher Moral, Dansby Swants, and I Cody Bellinger
onding below eight two fifty, but they have found a
way to be able to move the line. This team
is riving north of seven runs per game at all.
I do think that this is going to be a
little bit of a strange win situation, and I just
don't know if the Marlins are going to be able
to do their part. This has been a offense has

(23:14):
been awful all around. So seeing the ten and a
half that we're seeing right now, I do like the
under end with the Cubs. I'd be willing to lay
up till minus one of five with this run line,
and now initial look at CIRCA as a big plus number,
So we'll be looking at the Cubs run line to
go along with this total under nine oh three nine
to four on the betting board. The Milwaukee Brewers at
the road. Their facing up against the Saint Louis Cardinals,
says Freddy Peralta is going to be going for the crew,

(23:36):
and you've got oh Kyle Gibson on the bump for
Saint Louis. Saint Louis is an underdog. Any routeam plus
one ten two plus one seventeen between minus one twenty
four to minus one thirty is at number on the crew,
seven a half to eight is a total on the
eight hundreds, between minus one fifteen to minus one twenty
five overs between minus one and five zero plus one
o five on the seven and a half overs, minus
one twenty and the unders even I'm only going up

(23:57):
till minus one thirty one With Brewers, I'm gonna be
dive in on them. Freddy Perolta has been awesome to
begin the season. He's getting north of twelve strikeouts for
nine innings. Has had a little bit of a history
to struggle in the first month or so of the season,
but that's not happening here. Has given up two home
runs at seventeen to two thirds innings, has really cut
down on the walks as well, just two walks in

(24:17):
his first three starts. Team has been able to get
the win and all three of his starts as far.
So love to see that in simple strakeouts and all
three of those starts as well. Going up against Kyle Gibson,
who he season ago, he was a little bit unlucky.
He had a ERA that was hovering right around about
four to seventy three, but fielding depend that was a
half point lower. As far as this season, he has
posted up a six to sixteen EER in his field

(24:38):
independent is actually a half a point higher. He has
just been getting banged around five home runs surrendered in
nineteen innings. How he's completed nineteen innings well, giving up
thirteen runs. I have absolutely no idea, but he's not
getting a lot of swings and misses. His walks are
typically where they are. Six walks in nineteen innings, something great,
nothing terrible, But has to go up against a Bird's
lineup that thirty on with some injury, having Christi the fold,

(25:00):
that does hurt them. But the young guys have really
stepped up for the team. You've got Sal Freelick, Alons,
Bryce Terrang, Blake Perkins, all lighting above a three hundred.
Now do I expect some regression? Absolutely? And William Contrere
is sitting four home runs with a four to forty
three on basis something that'll come back to earth. But
William Thomas, after he had a pretty miserable year last year,

(25:21):
four hundred on base, three home runs. This has been
a very pleasant surprise for Milwaukee and for Saint Louis.
This has been one of the worst offenses in all
of baseball. There in the bottom three in the National
League in terms of run creation. You've got Olan Gorman,
who's been able to give you three home runs. But Gorman,
Paul Goldschmid, Jordan Walker, you're able to throw in there.
Some of these guys like Sannie out there in the outfield.

(25:43):
You've had a Victor Scott, all these guys Hippolow, the medios.
I have two hundred. They just don't have guys that
are moving the line in general. Mason Winn has actually
been really good this year after he was terrible when
they called him up a season ago three forty seven.
It's what he's sitting right now. I've had Wilson Terrerish
has been a little bit in and out of the fold.
He's pretty rock solid and be able to find a
way on base as well, and you can always count

(26:04):
on Brandon Donovan getting on base at home. But for
the Cardinals, boo, but hasn't been bad this far. It's
that season it was a very brutal bullpen. Ryan Elsley
was the lone guy returning from a season ago that
had a sub three five ERE. They picked up Andrew
Kitchrich in the offseason, and these guys like Jojo Romero,
Ryan Fernandez, they haven't been bad, but doesn't quite compare
to the bullpen of the Birds, which if you look

(26:24):
at the Ross sads, there's slightly above average. But these
guys like Elvis Piguero, Hoby Milner, Joe Piams on a
sub three ERA season Ago Afder Yuibe as some of
the best wipeouts stuff that you're gonna find in the league.
And they're currently dealing with the injury to Devin Williams.
But so I've been pretty impressive. I do think that
the Bruers are gonna be able to jump abore Kyle Gibson,
and we are starting to see that regression with the
Bruers lineup. This is a squad that has outscored four

(26:46):
runs for fear in each other last four games, but
I think that they are able to pick it up
a little bit more in this game. I do think
that the Cardinals, who have been held the three runs
for fear in each other the last five games, they're
gonna be able to find a little bit of positivity
as well. So I do think I Freddy Perlta, I
get into a little bit of issue with reguards to walk.
So I'm gonna be looking at the over sub by
total more round in eight point three and gonna be
looking at the Birds on the money line bowing to

(27:07):
lay up to a mis one thirty one nine A
five nine h six on the Betty board. The New
York Mets conna throw the facing off against the LA Dodgers.
Yashiobo Yamamoto is on the bump where the Dodgers and
Sean Maney is on the bump, or the Metropolitans and
the Mets to find themselves as underdogs any between plus
one sixty four and see siye a plus one seventy
nine mean well anywhere between minus one ninety two to
minus two five the number on Los Angeles total on

(27:30):
games eight and a half under his nine one twenty
and the over is even. If you're looking to lay
a run and a half with the Dodgers, mostly find
that at a plus one oh five to even money,
I'd be willing to lay up to about a minus
one oh eight with this. Dodgers were on nine, so
that's where I'm looking. I would need at least a
plus twenty seven to consider the Mets on the money line.
For the La Dodgers, all but thirty five of their

(27:50):
regular season wins since the beginning of the twenty twenty
two season, I've come by multiple runs, and if you
look at that amount of wins, that would be two
hundred and twenty three wins in totals. So they've been
able to do a very good job winning buy multiple runs.
With Yamamoto, he had a really rough debut when he
went up against the San Diego Patres out there in Seoul,
South Korea. Ever since then, fifteen innings pitch, he has

(28:12):
given up three runs. Just feels like the Patres might
be that little bit of a bugaboo team for him,
but he's been able to do a nice job getting
strikeouts twenty one punchouts in sixteen innings. Command has been there.
I like what I'm seeing there and for Sha Manea,
he towards the back half of last season was very good.
After I would say the month of Jude he posted
up at sub three five year a after having a
miserable start of the season with the San Francisco Giants,

(28:33):
and here in three starts with the Mets, have one
just terrible performance against the Kansay Rails. Gives up eight
runs in three and two thirds innings, six of which
we'll earned. But on all I do think that he's
been able to turn it around. I don't know if
it's peak Sea Manea, but he's been able to do
a pretty rock solid job. And as they all pitch
quite well on the road, and he's backed up by
a Mets lineup that has been up, down and all
around recently. They go from scoring two runs one day

(28:56):
to scoring seven plus the next. You just don't get
anything in between with this team. Got Pete Lonzo is
right now supplying six home runs, and year in year out,
he starts the top of the big leagues with regards to
home runs generated on the road. He Brett Batty, who's
been deal with a little bit of an injury, both
giving you north of a three to fifty on base,
and the big key for the Mets are just getting
these struggling bats online like Jeff McNeil, DJ Stewart, Francisco lindor,

(29:18):
these guys hitting a two twenty or lower. If they
can find a way to be able to move the
line and get on base, that'd be absolutely massive. And
for the only Dodgers it is a little bit of
a top heavy team as well as if I had
Mookie Betts, taskar Nandez be tremendous at being able to
sply power these two guys. I've been able to combine
for eleven home runs as far this season with Bets
four to seventy on base. Showy Tan, He's sitting three

(29:38):
sixty with four home runs backs once he has four
um runs with a three forty on base. These guys
have been great, and Will Smith is sitting darn here
three to fifty. But Gavin loox Keik a Hernandez, James Allman,
Chris Taylor all leading below two hundred, and Taylor is
hitting a zero twenty nine, Like that's really hard to do.
But I do think that they're gonna pick it up.
And even with the Dodgers having some struggles towards bound

(29:58):
the fold. This is still one the top teams in
all baseball in terms of just drawing walks on a
perpet basis, and say Dodgers bullpen that is currently nineteenth
in the big leagues. With regards a bullpenny are that's
been a little bit of an issue, as you do
have a nice shutdown closer in Evan Phillips, but getting
there has been a little bit of an adventure. Ryan
Brazier hasn't been what he has been in past years.
Joe Kelly is a guy that you really don't trust

(30:19):
in as well. But I like Dany Hudson and for
the Mets, gotta love the fact that they've got woods
back at the fall. But who's going to be able
to get the ball that edwin Ys or Lopez, Red Garrett,
these guys are a little bit of a old that ice.
I like Brooks Railey and what he's able to provide.
But that said, I do think that the Dodgers are
gonna be able to jump aboard Sean Mineha get to
this bullpen. I do think that the top of the
Dodgers lineup just continues to power them to victory. I

(30:41):
do like the run line here of the Dodgers willing
to lay up Doe minus one to eight and did
somebody tell it at eight point eight? So here at
the eight and a half. I also like the over
nine to seven, nine to eight on the bag board.
The Years and A Diamondbacks are on the road facing
off against the San Francisco Giant, says, but Anick Snell
is on the bump for the Giants in Jordan Montgomery,
he makes his debut for the Years and A Diamondbacks.
Diamondbacks aren't able to be plus one ten plus one

(31:01):
seventeen underdogs. Meanwhile, between minus one twenty five to minus
one thirty that number on San Francisco. He is a
total over and under anywhere twa minus one of five
to minus one fifteen. I said Montgomery had a plus
one thirty six. I'm gonna be wanting to lay it
with the San Francisco Giants now. Blake Snell has been
in absolutely terrible for him in his first two starts
of the season. But who's to say that Jordan Montgomery

(31:22):
is not going to be doing the same darn thing.
Both of these guys were in a relatively similar vote.
Both of these guys had really good twenty twenty threes.
Both were guys that were unsigned throughout much of free agency.
It got picked up very very late and retarded Montgomery.
He just hasn't been able to get a lot of
working in general, and you have to fear that he's
just not going to be in sorts. He was able
to make two appearances at the minor league level for

(31:44):
the Years and A Diamondbacks. Now granted it was in
the juice ball PCL, but it was given up right
around about six walks per nine and nings and sevent
two thirds innings. Gave up five walks, he got tattooed
for a few home runs. Did not look good to
say the least. And for Blake Sally do think that
he's going to start to find it a little bit more.
As for Blake sell first two starts of the season
gave up fort walks and seven nings, gave up a

(32:06):
pair of home runs. But now he gets to pitch
in San Francisco. Got to feel like in San Francisco
he's going to be a little bit more informed. To
give up three runs in that first start at home
against the Washington Nationals. But I do think that this
is going to be a case where now he's a
little bit more lathered up. Now he's a little bit
more ready to go, and you tell that he was
just a little bit out of form in general to
begin the season due to the fact that you had

(32:27):
the contract dispute it. He's backed up by a Giants
lineup that has been able to provide some power. You've
got a quartette of guys they Strada, Michael Conforto, or
a Selayer, Matt Chapman that have all been able to
give you at least three home runs. But I don't
really have a lot of guys other than La Mottway
Junior there are doing a good job consistently moving the line.
He's hitting at three seventy for the seami. He has
been absolutely tremendous. But you've got a lot of guys

(32:49):
like Estrada, like Chapman, You're able to throw in their Mike
u Strumski getting for less than a two seventy five
interns are on base percentage. So Giants have had a
little bit of a tough time with their run creation
and they are out there in that very very pitchure
friendly ballpark. Meanwhile, for the years in the Diamondbacks. They
entered into yesterday a top eight team in the Big
Leagues with regards runs per game. They get completely blanked yesterday.
And this has been a team has been a little

(33:10):
bit consistent, inconsistent with their offense when they've been away
from home, and you do have a tree of guys
and you and you have so whereas gabrielle moreno one,
Corbyn Carroll that while I even below a two thirty
and you just expected a little bit more out of
Carrol this season, he's only been able to supply one
home run, though lord is Courriel catel Marte like can
find ten home runs. Between these two guys, they have
been absolutely tremendous at the top of the fold. I

(33:32):
do think that Randall Gritchick is gonna be a nice
situational leitor. John Peterson has been able to provide quite
a bit as well. But with the Diamondbacks, you never
know what you're gonna be able to get out of
this bullpen. Right now, it's pretty league average, and I
think that that's what you're gonna be able to get
moving forward. They no longer have Luis Fries in the fold.
They pick up Logan Allen, so we'll see what happens there.
They've been able to have Miguel Castro give them innings

(33:53):
honest a great Ennings, but Ennings, I like the young guy,
and Justin Martinez. You've also been able to have Kyle
Nelson do a nice job holding down the four, but
he was used up yesterday. Meanwhile, for the Giants, it's
been Rogers, Square Taylor and Tyler Rodgers. These guys do
a relatively solid job of holding down the fourth. Eric
Miller has been though guy that's been posting up about
a sixty ra. Bryan Walker is someone that I've always
been relatively bullish on. Has been the greatest year for him,

(34:15):
as the Giants well below the league average in terms
of their Bullpenny Ray. So it's a very interesting circumstance
to be in. This is a spot where I did
something told at some point eight. I do think that
Jordan Montgomery probably is going to pitch a relatively solid outing.
I just don't think that he lends a lot of length.
In general, I think that this is actually a very
ideal spot for Jordan Montgomery, but I just don't think
that the length is going to be there. So this

(34:36):
is a spot where I'm going to be looking at
the under. I do think that Blake's so is going
to be able to get online. I think that this
is a start where he starts to be the Blake
cell of old so welling back the Giants on the
money line to go along with the under nine to
nine nine ten on the betting board, it is the
Tampa Bay Race on the road, facing off against the
New York Yankees. Clark Schmidt goes for the Yankees for
the Tampa Bay Race. Right now, the betting board says

(34:56):
to be determined. But when you're figuring that it's going
to be Tyler Alexander and or an opener for Tyler
Alexander and right now, if you're looking at an initial
opener between minus one thirty to minus one fifty, is
that number on the Yankees razor between plus one thirty
and plus one thirty eight total is a nine In
a lot of spots with the under between minus one
fifteen to minus one twenty, the overs between even and

(35:16):
minus one oh five, and anything of aninerd LST, I'd
be willing to take a look at the over. I
saw a straight eight and a half out there but
that juice was minus one thirty on the over, and
I would not want to lay minus one thirty juice
on the over. But I said with the Tampa Bay race,
they have been out of sorts in terms of a bullpen.
As a matter of fact, they are currently dead last
in the big leagues with regards a bullpenny right, which
is why I'm going to be willing to back the

(35:36):
Yankee set them as a favorite of minus one fifty five.
If you're looking to lay a run and a half,
you're gonna be able to get that right around plus
one thirty five. I will be looking at that run
line for Alexander. He's made a few start slash both
appearances as far this season and hasn't been great. Five
home runs given up in fifteen to third innings. Has
never been a strikeout artist. He does a solid job
at not giving up a lot of walks. But now
he does have to go up against the New York

(35:58):
Yankees lineup that it's not fully back to where it
was a few seasons ago, but you've got a pair
of guys and Anthony Vope along with Juan Soto, they're
providing north of four hundred base north of a three
twenty batting average, and you've been able to get some
good production on the ancillary pieces as well. John Carlosin
he's hitting a two fifty with five home runs. He'll
quietly take that as well. To Cabrera, three o bombs

(36:19):
hitting above a thre let's go down since it started
the season, but all now, you'd like to see that
in For Aaron Judge, you know that he's gonna start
to hit relatively soon. Been able to provide just a
pluck eighty three average with three home runs. But I
do think that that's going to turn around sooner rather
than later, and it's historic. Twenty twenty two season got
off to a slow start as well. Meanwhile, for the
Tampa Bay race, you just are expecting more out of

(36:39):
Yandy Dias Long with Randy otos Arena, both of these
guys providing a sub to eighty on base, a sub
two twenty five batting average with three home runs between
the two of them. Easok Parades has been tremendous five
home runs, three sixty five on base, and you got
guys like Jose Calibreo Amedosario, Richie Palasios hitting above a
two seventy. So you do have a few guys are
still move on the line for the Tampa Bay race,

(36:59):
but have bullpen, you've got to expect it to be
getting better moving forward. These guys like Pete Parr, Fairbanks,
Jason Adam, Colum Pouchet that have had struggles to begin
the season, they've got track records of success. Film Ayton,
who comes over from the Easton Asters, does his well
for the New York Yankees. Past few seasons, this has
been one of the better bullpens out there in the
Big league. Say they lose a few pieces from the
off season and currently are doing with the injury to

(37:21):
Johnathan Lewis goa, but Ian Hamilton was very good last season.
A lot of roun bad at Acchio Playolmes can always
be a little bit shaky in the back half of games.
That typically gets the job done. I like to pick
up with Kale and Ferguson. So I do think that
this is a good spot for the Yankees B and
especially with Clark Schmid and the way that he's just
so steady. He just goes out there and he does
his job. And last thirty starts that he has had

(37:43):
in the regular season, he has given up three runs
or fewer in all but three of them. It turns
verne runs. He's been the victim of a few undern runs,
but he's not gonna necessarily blow you away with his
stuff thus far the season a little bit north of
nine strikeouts for nine nineties first grader more round eight
Naster strikeouts to about three bucks for nine and nty season.
Pretty average pitcher. But you know what in this ardal,
I think that that's gonna be more than enough. Did

(38:04):
se my total at nine point one. I like the
over and with the Yankees being able to get a
plus one thirty five on that run line, will to
lay the run and a half. Now you might be
gain Now we're going to write a pick nine eleven,
nine to twelve on the big board the Cleveland Guardians,
but I'll see Oakland A's Joe Boyle oh Boyl Rules
is on the bump for the A's Tristan McKenzie is
on the bump for Cleveland. Cleveland is a favorite between
minus one sixty eight to minus one seventy five plus

(38:25):
one forty five to plus one fifty seven is that
number on Oakland. Eight is a total over his minus
one fifteen to minus twenty tw unders between even a
minus one o five. My right up here is going
to be on the under. Semi total it at some
point nine, so wouldn't want to go any further down
than eight. And to be told, when I wrote this up,
I was writing it up with the opener being in
eight and a half, so this has already been bat down.

(38:47):
But that said, as long as we can get an
eight or better, I write up will be on the under.
Because got a Oakland a seem that has been pretty
amazing in terms of our pitching and pretty amazingly bad
in terms of the offense, as they actually entered seven
four in their last eleven games. By the way, but
our good friend mister Boyle is going to be making
his seventh career start, and he's done a really good
job in the small sample size three forty five ERA

(39:09):
three zero six field independent with nine and a half
strikeouts and zero point three home runs a lot of
per nine innings. Now, the one thing that could be
a little bit costly. You have to be questioning the
length that he's going to be able to deliver a
little bit because he has been giving up north of
four walks per nine and nnings and has really never
been able to give you a whole lot of length
in general, and it starts. He has won past the
fifth inning just twice in the sixth. But that said,

(39:31):
I do think that him being backed up by open
that's third in the big leagues in terms of VRA
is going to be very beneficial. The Oakland A's are
made up of a lot of veteran guys, are sort
of cast offs that are very much fighting to be
able to stay in the leg again. They've been showing
it as you've had Austin Adams along with Michael Kelly
be able to play a sub T three era. Mason
Miller I still believe should be a starter, but he

(39:53):
has been incredible in the closers role subteen strikeouts and
nine nings. As far, Lucas SERTs Edge has been able
to do a nice job as he was a failure
with the Brewers as a position player, but as resurface
as a pitcher. Meanwhile, for Tristan McKenzie, rough start to
the season from he has given up now a grand
total of nine earned runs eleven and total in thirteen innings,
giving up twelve walks in his first thirteen innings as well,

(40:15):
and for Tristan McKenzie, the walks have always been a
little bit up and down. He needs to try to
get back to that twenty twenty two form where he
was so good with the two ninety sixty or a
eight point nine Strycats to two point one walks per
nine in ennings. As he was pretty much injured all
of last season, but I do think that he's going
to regain his For him against an Oakland A team,
then again, they're providing two point nine to five runs

(40:35):
per game, that is the second fewest in all baseball.
He just got to have guys in general, they're finding
way on basis Sarah Ruiz, he's back up at the
big league level after I have no idea why he
was demoted to the miners, but he was demoted to
the miners. You've been able to have Tyler Nevan be
able to give you a little bit of production as well.
But some of these guys like Brent Rooker, JJ Blade, JD. Davis,

(40:57):
Shang Langelaires, well you've got a little bit of power
out of guys like Langolaires. Now all these guys are
running a two of five or lower, and Langolairs is
the only guy on the roster has given you multiple
home runs. Mean well for Cleveland. They were dead last
in the big leagues last year in terms of home
run power. They've been much better this year. They're averaging
about a home run per game. Still not great, but
he improved. Josh Naylor has been able to apply for
home runs. He Stephen Kwan are both giving you north

(41:19):
of a three twenty batting average. But He's got some
guys towards the more bottom of the fold like bow Naylor,
Will Brandon You're able to throw in there as well,
someone like a Tyler Freeman. These guys have been able
to hit a two twenty five or lower. That's been
a little bit rough for the seam. The Guardians still
have had a little bit of a tough time moving
the line. The top of the lineup has been good
at being able to get on They can't be driven

(41:39):
in by the bottom, but they are still second in
the big leagues with regards they are Bullpenny Ray got
so many guys like Kate Smith, Hunter Gaddis, Tim Aaron
Emmanuel class the closer. These guys giving you a sub
three three arra they've been so locked down. I know
that the Guardians did have to use quite a bit
of their bullpen yesterday, but so relatively locked and loaded.
I do think that Tristan McKenzie is going to be
able to find it year against the oaklan A's and

(42:01):
I think that both of these offenses have a rough
time of it. My right up here is going to
be on the under end. I did set the Guardians
as a sizeable favorite. I'm going to be willing to
take them on the run line. You are getting about
a plus one twenty there, wouldn't want to take anything
less than a plus one twenty. But with the oak
and As, I do think that their lack of offense
is going to be the crux of their issues in
this one. So I do like the Guardians on the

(42:22):
run line, and my right I pick that is going
to be on the under nine thirteen nine fourteen on
the bank board. The Baltimore Orioles on the other facing
GalF against he can say Royals. Alick marsh is going
to be on the bump for the Royals and Dean
Kramer is on the bump for the Orioles. The Orioles
if do find themselves as favorites, they're going to be
getting them. And between a minus one thirty five dozo
minus one forty two plus one twenty plus one twenty five,

(42:43):
then I ron Kansas City nine to nine and a
half is at all on the nine and a half
hundreds minus one twenty, the overs even on the nine,
the overs minus one twenty and the unders even. I'm
going to be one taking shot on the Royals needed
at least a plus one nineteen to be able to
do so. Alick Marsh when he got called up to
the Big league's last season, you tell that he just
was not ready for prime time. But he has looked
really good here in twenty and twenty four. He has

(43:05):
provided three starts. As far the swinging stuff is down.
When he came up the first time around, he was
getting a lot of swings and misses, but he was
missing location so much it wasn't even funny. How about
just three walks in one home round allowed in sixteen
and two third seconds. So he's really been able to
clean that up. Four thirty two era a fielding dependent
that's even lower than that. Meanwhile, for mister Dean Kramer,

(43:25):
he has been giving up a lot of contact. In general,
his whip is north of a one point two, so
you do have your issues there. It's given up four
home runs at sixteen and a third ending, so you
have to have some trepidations on that front. Of Kansas City.
It's a ball park where you're able to take it
deep relatively easily, and you've got Salvador Parez and Bobby
White Junior of combined for nine home runs as far
this season, both of these guys hitting well above a

(43:47):
three hundred. Meanwhile, Vinie Pascantino, after a little bit of
a rough start to the season, he's been able to
supply three bombs. He's given you about a three sixty
on base. And when it comes to the middle part
of the lineup, you do have a few guys that
they do need to pick it up in terms of
finding way on base. Mickel Garcia when he's got three
home runs, just a two thirteen on base, Kyle Isabelle
hunder renfro Adam Frazier, Guys like this, they do need

(44:08):
to find a way on But the top of the
lineup has been tremendous now for the Kansera Royals, you
do have to have your trempidations. In terms of bullpen,
Nick Anderson, Chris Franton, Will Smith, these guys getting jiggy
with it is not necessarily a place where you want
to be. Adel's Arapa has actually been halfway decent in
the bullpen and over all for the Royals they're actually
twelfth in the league in terms of bullpenny Ray And
for the Baltimore Royals, this has been a bullpen that

(44:30):
has still been very good. Even without Phoenix Batisa they're
tenth of the league in terms of bullpenny Aray. Creig
Kimberl has looked awesome as far. Now. I will say
it's a small sample size and right when you trust
Greg Kimberl is right when you nipsey you in the buck.
But that said, so far, so good on that front.
You've got a lot of guys that'll be able to
come in and have just don their job. Keegan Ake
and Dylan Taye. You have been able to get good

(44:51):
endings out of Uni, your Cano, all these guys a
sub to era and for the Baltimoreals, this is a
lineup that is just as hot as Lava Gunner. Anderson
has been able to supply six home runs, and then
Colin Kauser, Anthony Santander, Cedric Moons, Jordan Westburg, Ryan O'Hearn
all between four and five home runs a piece. How
about thirty home runs in their first eighteen games of
the season. I do think that there's gonna be a

(45:13):
little bit of regression here, But if you're looking at
just overall lineup construction one through nine, this is one
of the deepest teams in the league. And that's with
Jackson all days struggling right now to start out his
MLB career, you know that he's going to be able
to find it a little bit more. But I do
think that Alec Marsh goes out there once and I
start out the organization in which he was actually with.
He came up with the Baltimore Oriols, and I do

(45:34):
think that for the Royals they are going to be
able to get to Kramer some I tell a nine
point two, so between the nine and nine and a half. Personally,
I would rather have a nine over rather than the
nine and a half unders. So when at the nine
over and I'm going to be looking at the money
line of Kansas City nine fifteen, nine to sixteen on
the bank board. The Detroit Tigers are on the road
facing off Gins se minustead of Twins. Joe Ryan is
on the bump for the Twins. Captain Jack Flaird, he's
on the bump for Detroit. Detroit is an underdog between

(45:56):
plus one twenty two to a plus one thirty four. Meanwhile,
minus one forty five to minus one forty eight is
at number on Minnesota seeing straight one forty two as well.
Total is any between seven a half and eight on
the seven half over his minds twenty, the unders even
on the eighth under his minds one twenty, and the
over is even. And I set my total at some
point eight, I'm gonna be looking at the eighth under. Personally,
I would rather have thatther than the seven a half

(46:17):
over because Minnesota Twins have been absolutely terrible in turns
of their lineup. And I did set my line at
a plus one thirty four is what I needed for
the Tigers seeing it straight plus one thirty five out there.
That's my minimum by point on the money line. But
I'm gonna be a willing to take a shot on Detroit.
Fully recognized that the bullpen got used up quite a
bit yesterday for Detroit, but it's the number one bullpen
in terms of RA in the big leagues, a sub

(46:39):
two bullpenny AARRA, like, just darn your everyone that comes
out of this pen, and quite a few of these
guys have been taxed quite a bit. I do need
to mention that, but I darn near all these guys
have been a very rock solid coming out of the bullpen.
As a matter of fact, everyone in this bullpen right
now as a sub two forty five ERA, and I'm
not even kidding when I say that. The only pitchers

(47:00):
that have an ERA as above a three are rees Olsen,
Jack Flaherty, Casey Bias, Kent Tomata, and then he has
Zach McKinstry the position player. Like, every one of these
guys has been very rock solid. You don't have that
one main guy though, Jason Foy has been rock solid.
But all these guys, they've been able to do a
tremendous job. And for the Detroit Tigers, you're just not
getting a lot of offense out of this team. They

(47:21):
were able to bust out yesterday, but overall for the
season about three point six runs per contest. So I
do think that there's a little bit of brightness on
the way they entered into yesterday and at two thirteen
as a collective, but been able to get a trio
home runs out of Marcana. Riley Green carry Carpenter and
that's key carry Carpenter, Matt fielding along g Orchelle rolling
above a two seventy five. Pretty much nobody else on
their roster is sitting above a two thirty nine. Riley

(47:43):
Green has found a way to be able to move
the line of Marcana even though he's sitting just a
two thirty three right now. He's been able to find
a way to be able to get on base, but
has been brutal for that Detroit Tigers offense. Meanwhile, for
the Minnesota Twins, they are hitting below the mido's line
two hundred. As a collective, you know that they're going
to be able to improve sooner rather than later. But
Elex Off along Ryan Jeffers are both thinking above a
two seventy five, and Carlos Korea was having himself a

(48:05):
nice season before going on the injured list, So this
pretty much leaves them with two healthy players right now
that arening above a two forty two. So it's not
terrific at Ward, Julian, Carlos Santana, Byron Bucks and and
wal Marco. All these guys are struggling. Thought Julian has
been able to give you four home runs the see
him has fifteen bombs at seventeen games in total. But
the Twins also one of those teams as towards the
top the big leagues with regards to the bullpenny rank,

(48:26):
Steven Oker, Cody Funderberg, Jay Jackson, these guys have all
been relatively said year. We're dealing with the injury to
yowandad On as their main closer, so that's a little
bit of a problem spot for the seam. But on
all I do like what the bullpen is able to
bring to the table. But for Joe Ryan, he does
give up quite a bit of hard contact throughout his
career with one point four home runs. Bernie Endings has
been good this far the season, twenty four punch outs

(48:47):
in seventeen and a third innings, and when he is
at home is eer for his career is about a
point lower than it is away from home, so he's
always very comfortable in Minnesota. But I do think that
Jack Clarty gonna be able to find it in the
start of well. Jack Flaherty has been all over the
place last few seasons. Either gives you a really good
start or he just gives you a big, giant, flaming turret.
He's given up three home runs and eighteen and a

(49:08):
third innings, but his command has been good, just three
balks in eighteen and a third innings, twenty strikeouts. His
stuff appears to be there, and I do think that
he's going to be backed up by a bullpen that
though tax is going to be able to do just
enough to allow the Tigers be able to get the
job done. Here on a plus one thirty five, I'm
going to take shot on that money mine. I did
something I told at some point. I do think that
both of these pitchers are going to be able to
overwhelm two lineups that I've been far from terrific. So

(49:30):
I do like the under and the money line of
the Detroit Tigers nine seventeen ninetyteen. On the bank board,
it's a Boston Red Sox on the red facing off
against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Brian Mayos on the bump for
the Red Sox. Right now, ESPN is showing Quinn Prister
as the starter for this one. And right now you've
got a money line price of between minus one twenty
two minus one twenty three with the buckos and between

(49:51):
even money and plus one of five set number on
Boston and half is a total under his minds one
twenty and the over is even. And it's a circumstance
where I'd be willing to take the Boss the Red Sox,
as I did set them as a slight minus one
on nine favorite. Brian Beao has been really good with
his change up over the last few seasons, saying I
just did not see what I wanted to see out
of krim Priser last season. Quinn Priser, it just was

(50:12):
very clear was not ready for prime time. I believe
that he can be able to have good stuff down
the line, but I just don't think that he's figured
it out quite yet. Watching him in spring training, he
wasn't necessarily on par there as he made like five
total appearances. He was getting a few strikeouts, but he
told that he was missing location. He was having some
weak points on that front end. For a price review,

(50:33):
he was getting about seven and a half eight strikeouts
for nine nings at spring training, which is a little
bit better than a six a half punchouts Bernie and
Ennings at the big league level last season, but so
he's always had command issues. Last season when he was
getting starts, he was giving out about five walks for
nine and Nings and he has not had a year
in the miners when he's given out fear than three walks.
Bernie Ennings all well given up last season about two

(50:53):
point two home runs ber nine Ennings. Now is a
Boston Red Sox team that's very banged up. You've got
Raphael Evers who's been dealing with an injury. Tyler One
has been in and out of the fold last few
days as well, so as very much less and terrific.
And for the Boston Red Sox, it means that they're
going to be relying upon Jaron Turan at the top
of the fold to be able to find a way
to just be able to give this scene a fresh shart.
In general, Tristan Kassas has been able to give you

(51:14):
about a three thirty three on base, He's been able
to supply five home runs, But what are you going
to be able to get out of some of these
struggling bats? That are younger, like Sadne Rafaela, Emmanuel Veldez,
Waalins Abrau, Pablo Reyes. These guys are all in below
the Mido's line of two hundred. Trevor's story has been
in out of the fold as well, but Trevor's story
is always in and out of the fold and just
hasn't been effective in general. Meanwhile, for the Pittsburgh Priates,

(51:36):
you've been able to get some good production out of
the young guys as far this season, though Henry Davis
he does need to pick it up. He and Jacksoninisky
both getting right around about a buck seventy five without
a ton of power. And for the Pirates, the power
numbers are not honestly there for them as of right
now sixteen home runs in nineteen games. But you got
Brian Reynolds along Kabrian Hayes, both supplying north of the
three sixty five on base. You've been able to get
some relatively give results out of Connor Joe as well,

(51:58):
who I've always liked. He was spending some time with
the Corad Rockies begin his career about a three eighty
on base. Michaelay Taylor got off to a really nice
start to the season, but he's cooled down a little
bit as well. And for On'ell Cruz, it just feels
like he's very inconsistent as the ability to perhaps be
a superstar in this leg, but he doesn't need to
figure out just how to be able to get things
in line. In general, this is still, though, a really

(52:20):
good bullpen for the Pittsburgh Priors out, they're gonna have
a role to Chaman. It looks like out due to suspension,
but I said you self, Hunter Stratton in this one,
David ben Arsli. But Ryan Brooki being out that did
cause me to have to move this line by about
five cents. With now having Chadman and Brooki outfold, that
does lead to some bullpen issues. Colin Olderman, he's not great,
he's not terrible. And for the Boston Red Sox, they've

(52:40):
had to use up their bullpen quite a bit last
few days, but they should be all get to go
in this one with Chris Martin, Kenley Jansen already. Justin
Slayton has been really impressing me. A sub one e er.
They last used him just a few days ago. I
think that he might have been in for a little
bit of time against the Cleveland Guardians, but on oh,
he's been able to do a nice job and be
able to hold down the fourth if you have really
need lank. James Sanderson is there, but I would say

(53:02):
probably shouldn't be weaseling on over there. But for Brian Bao,
I do think that he's going to be able to
do a nice job of just being able to keep
the ball in the yard. That's been his main issue
ever since getting promoted up to the big league bubble.
For his career, has given up about one point three
home runs per nine Enning's one point four bombs as
far the season, giving up four um runs in twenty
and two third setings. So I do think that Bayo
going to be able to go out there, give you

(53:23):
a relatively good start and be able to get the
job done. For the Boston Red Sox, I set the
Red Sox as a slight favorite out of minus one
oh nine. I'd like them on the money line, and
I simply don't think that Pricer is ready for prime
times at my total at an eight point seven, so
went over to go along with the Boston money line
nine nineteen nine to twenty on the Bank board. It
is the Chicago White Sox, say throw the facing off
against the Philadelphie Phillies. Spencer Turnbull is on the bump

(53:45):
for the Phills. Garrett Corochet is on the bump for
the White Sox. White Sox underdogs. If any between plus
one forty two to plus one fifty nine, anywhere between
minus one sixty five, I'm seeing one sixty out there
and minus one seventy five is that number on Philadelphia?
Seven a half is a total. The over is minus
one fifteen of mine twenty the unders any between even
and minus one of five, seeing straight eight out there,

(54:05):
that under his minus one twenty five, the over is
plus one oh five. I'm gonna be looking at the over.
I did somebody total of any point four. Now, I'm
not digging it over because I'm banking on a lot
of runs from the Chicago White sowks dead last in
the Big leagues and runs per game, dead last in
the Big leagues in terms of home runs. They do
get Eloyamenaz back in the fold, but my goodness, he
schlubs at the player are just giving you absolutely nothing whatsoever.

(54:27):
What does Nicky Lopez Andrew Vaughn Andrew ben Attendee, Robbie Grossman,
Martin Maldonado, Lennon Sosa, and Eloy Amenaz all have in common.
They're all ding up bucks seventy five or lower. Good grief,
you've got a grand total of ten home runs. Paul
the Young and Gavin Cheats have six between the two
of them. Gavin Cheats is like the only guy on

(54:48):
the roster other than Paul the Young that is hitting
above a two to fifty league man, it's really not
good all round for this Sea. Mean, while they go
up against the Philadelphia Phillies line up that has been
a little bit up and down. You've been able to
have Turner down for what hit about a three hundred
for this bunch at Kyles forber is up to five
home runs. Bryce Harper has had a pretty miserable start
to the season. He had that one nice three home

(55:08):
run game, but right now he's got less than a
three hundred in terms of on base percente Alec Boehme
has give you a three fifty five on base but
one home run hitting at two forty two. Would like
to see a little bit more there. Bryce and Sod
has been a little bit up and down, So he've
had some circling bets for the Philadelphia Phillies and Garrick
Rochet has been pretty awesome for this White Sox team
three fifty seventy area, but his fielding independent is less

(55:29):
than a two point fifty. He's got a lot of
guys out there in the field that are not helping
out his cost and he's been getting a lot of
strikeouts for Crochet thirty one strikeouts in twenty two and
two thirds innings. I do think that there might be
a little bit of regression coming from it. Did feel
like the Reds were able to figure him out in
his last start, five runs surrunder in four and two
thirds innings. But alin all, he do think that there's
a little bit of upside there. He goes up against

(55:50):
a guy and Spencer Turnbull's made less than twenty starts
since the beginning of the twenty twenty one campaign due
to injury. Now as resurf ascent has looked great here
in three starts, sixteen strikeouts to five walks over it
up just one home run and three earned runs in total.
But you do have to have a little bit of
fear with his Philadelphia Phillies bullpen. It's been one of
the lesser ones of the Big Leagus to begin the season,
to say the least. Anyone with the run line of

(56:11):
the Phillies two days ago against the Rockies, you know
exactly what I'm talking about. But to begains Oselvarado, these
guys have had a little bit of a tough start
to the season, to say the least. Unior Marte has
honestly been really good since the back half of the
twenty twenty three campaign. Master Ram has been relatively okay
as well. And then O'Ryan Kerda King hopefully I said
that correctly. He seems to be an upside guy. But

(56:32):
you know what, for the White Sox, this team is
right around lake average in terms of bullpenny area. I
fully expect this to go straight down the toilet polls.
Everything for the Chicago White Sox has been Jordan Leisure
has actually been half way decent for this bullpen. Tanner
Banks is able to give you a little bit of length,
But guys like Tim Ill, Davey Garcia, Dominique Leone, Steven Wilson,
I have absolutely no faith in them whatsoever. And quite frankly,

(56:53):
this White Sox team is looking like the biggest turn
out there in all of baseball. So I did tell
my tot at at eight point four, I think that
the Phillies banging them around like the over, and with
the Phillies was one to lay a number in terms
of this run line. I sometime at minus one ninety
two on the money line. Right now you're getting plus
one twenty to plus one twenty eight on that run line.
Sign me up for the run line and the over
nine twenty one, nine to twenty two on the bank board.

(57:13):
The La Angels that throad face off against the Cincindnai Rids. Yes,
we are onto Cincinnati and it is going to be
Tyler Anderson who goes for the Angels. Right now, the
banking board says to be determined for Cincinnati, so his
game is off the board. If you're looking on ESPN, Fangrafts,
whatever you right now they are showing Nick Lidolo as
a projected surter. And if you do get mister Lidulo,
I did set the red says ay minus one forty

(57:34):
two favor with a total of nine point four nine
or less. Looking at the over nine and a half
rior to the under Lidolo got hurt very early on
last season, and when he resurfaced in his first start
for twenty twenty four, looked really good. Gave out one hit,
one walk in five to two thirds scoreless with ten strikeouts.
The one gaveat to that is that it was against
the Chicago White Sox, and I think that that needs

(57:56):
to be prefaced every single time something good goes against
the Chicago White Sox. But and said he's been looking
rock solid. And how about Tyler Anderson. He's given up
three runs at eighteen and the third innings as far
not getting a lot of strikeouts. Pitch of contact guy
twelve punch outs at eighteen and the third innings, six
walks in these innings. So it's not like his command
has been bad. It's not like it's necessarily been great.

(58:17):
And I do think that there's gonna be a fall
off moving forward. Tyler Anderson was about as lucky as
lucky gets in the twenty twenty two campaign. He spent
with the LA Dodgers, saying, if you look at the
field independence score right now, that's more around at four
to twenty nine. When your fielding inpendents more than two
and a half points higher than your er. The regression
is going to come. But I do think that for
the Reds, a little bit of a trepidation that you

(58:37):
need to have with them is the fact that I've
got some inconsistent bats out there, guys like Will Benson,
i'm her Ken de Lario, Christian and Carnassio and strand
Johnathan India getting below a two twenty, that's a little
bit of a concern. Ellie de la Cruz, he feels
like he's very inter best five home runs, three fifty
five on base. But he either gives you like a
big giant O for four with a bunch of punch outs,
or he's just absolutely awesome. He just has not found

(58:59):
consistent See the guy that has really been consistent in
Spencer's here north of a forearm base. He's been able
to sply this team with three runs. Really like what
he brings to the table. And when Nick Martinez been
out there, good things have happened as well. He's thinking
about a two sixty five, three zero home runs for
the rest. This bullpen is not great, it's not terrible.
I really like Alexis cs as a closer. And then
you got some relatively solid setup men. Buck Farmer has

(59:19):
been able to do a solid job, be able to
hold down the fourth. You're probably gonna need a little
bit more length out of these guys than normal, But
that said, you do have someone named Fernando Kruz who's
been able to do a solid job. Lucas Simms, I
like these guys. They're twenty second in terms of bullpenny aray,
but I think that that's going to elevate. And for
the l Angels, they're right on par. They're twenty first
in terms of bullpenny ray and for the La Angels,

(59:40):
it's a bunch of reclamation projects. Hunter Strickland, Adam simber, Ose,
c Sierrao, Carson Fomer. I mean call up AARP for
these guys because they've been around baseball for a very
long time, and I don't have faith in too many
of them. Now. What I like is Carlos the Sevens
and Matt Moore. These guys in the eighth and ninth
ending are very solid. But being able to get the
ball to them that's the question. And for the La Angels,

(01:00:00):
it's about his top heavy of a lineup. As a kiss,
Mike Shroud is amazing eight home runs three point fifty
on base. He's been tremendous. Taylor Ward is giving you
a two ninety five average with six home runs as well,
fourteen home runs between the two of them. Russ A
team has seven logan OPPI is moving the line north
of the four arm based three thirty three batting average.
But Brandon Drury, Na Chanal, Aaron Nix, Zach Neetto, Mickey Moniac,

(01:00:22):
all these guys hitting below the mids, I'm two huner,
not so great. Miguel to No, don't you know he's
got zero home runs as far as the season though
it's credit he's been able to find a way to
be able to get on base. But I need take
a look at the spot. I do think that the
Reds should be a rightful, relatively mid sized favorite. I'm
willing the Layupdow minus one forty one with the Reds
plus one forty three. Are looking at the Angels nine,
or let's looking at the over nine to half rire

(01:00:43):
the under ninety three nine twenty four on the betting board,
it is the Houston Astros. They throw their facing up
against the Washington Nationals. Mackenzie Gore is going to be
on the bump for the Nance and Justin Verlanders on
the bump for the Astros. Asters are finding themselves as
pretty good sized favorites any between minus one fifty seven too.
I am minus one seventy between plus one forty five
to plus one fifty one. That number on the Nationals

(01:01:04):
inf is a total over his mins well twenty and
the Unders. Even if you're looking at the run line
of the master as, you're going to be able to
get it right around even money. I need pretty much
even money or better to be able to take Seawan
the answers run line. I set mind at a minus
one or two, but I'm going to be one nable
for Justin Verlander did not look sharp and his last
tune up going into this start, but I do think
that he's going to be able to do a solid

(01:01:25):
job of giving the answers just a little bit of
spark in general. And this guy is a gamer. He
knows his own body. He last year was a tad
bit lucky at an era that was right around about
three twenty. In his time between the Mets and the
Houston Answers, Field Independant was more around about a three
to nine. He's certainly to give up a little bit
more contact. It's swinging his stuff as a managed a
little bit. And for Mackenzie Gore, he's about as young

(01:01:45):
as it gets, twenty five year old starter who thus
far the season has looked good. There's been a lot
of hype around him for many, many years. Five walks
in sixteen innings, twenty three strikeouts, it is there. But
you just never know when he's gonna lose command. And
that's a big issue that you do have with Mackenzie Goren.
Mackenzie Gore throughout his career has struggled with his starts
in Washington as well. He's backed up by a bullpen

(01:02:06):
then for the Nationals, honestly, has not been too bad.
That's far. I love Jordan Weims that he's been able
to provide. He's been able to give you a sup
to two year but Tanner Rainey since coming back from injury,
has happened great. Kyle finagain overall isn't too bad, but
it feels like he just blows games in the worst
of spots. Derek Law is a solid relief piece. It's
a bunch of guys that are not great, not terrible. Meanwhile,
for the Houston Answers, they are missing some of these

(01:02:27):
guys like a Ryan Stanek, like a Ector and Harris
from the seas Ago, so their bullpen has been quite
a minute. You've got Josh Hader along Brian Presley in
the eighth and ninth inning of Both of these guys
have struggle, but Ralfio Montano has actually looked relatively solid
this year. I'd like the game of Brian Brady as well.
For the Houston Astress, they have not had a tough
time inning. With regards to the top of the fold,
the top of the lineup has been amazing. OSL two

(01:02:47):
Bays right now giving you an average right round three
eighty eight with five home runs, Jordan and Alvarez, Kyle
Tucker both with five home runs a piece, both providing
north of three seventy MBIs, Yenni Ordaz three home runs,
hitting about it two ninety five, Alex Bragman not playing
a lot of power but finding way on base three
thirty three on base here me Paina is hitting above
a three hundred Astros lineup really other than Jose Abraho

(01:03:07):
has been very good. Meanwhile, for the Washington Nationals, they
try to add a little bit of pop. After last
season they were in the bottom five the big leagues
with regards to home runs per game, and CJ. Abrams
has actually provided a lot of at three sixty on
base five home runs. He and Lane Thomas do a
nice job swiping bags. But for a lot of the
guys that return from a season ago, like Lane Thomas
I mentioned before, Joey manesas Eddie Rozario was a little

(01:03:29):
bit of pickup in the off season, Key Bearwis. These
are all guys hitting below eight, two ten, so you
do have a few issues there. It's been a case
where Joey gal has been able to give you three
home runs, but he's also given you a buck thirty
six batting average as well. So it's a very interesting
spot for Justin Verdlander. I don't think that this is
the worst first start that you can have going up
against the Washington Nationals lineup that yeah, you do have
some boppers in there, but at the same time, you've

(01:03:50):
got a lot of guys that come up dry. At
the point, I did something I told at eight point seven.
I do think that the Astros get to go and
I do think that the Nationals are going to be
able to get to Verdlander. But I do think that
Indiana and Answers team has really scuffled out of the gates.
They do get right here. I'm gonna be willing to
lay the even money or better with the run line,
and I'm gonna be taking a look at this total
over nine twenty five nine twenty six on the billboard.
The Walker Texas Rangers at the road. They're facing off

(01:04:12):
against the Online of Braves. Chris Sale goes for the Bravos,
Andrew KINI is on the bump for Texas. Texas is
back to being a pretty sizeable underdog. You're gonna be
getting them between plus one seventy five and I'm seeing
his eyes a plus one eighty five out there as well.
Any between minus one ninety seven of minus two eighteen
is at number on the Onlanta Braves. Nine and a
half is the total overs between minus pent end to

(01:04:33):
a minus twenty hundreds between even and minus one ten.
And if you're looking to lay a run half with
the Online of Braves, you're gonna be getting anywhere between
minus one of five to plus one oh five on
laying a run a half. I'm in a little bit
of a tight buying. I'd be willing to take even
money or better on that Braves run line, but I'm
also willing to take anything north of a plus one
eighty two with regards to this Brave's money line, and

(01:04:53):
we're starting to see some plus one eighty five spop up. Personally,
between that those two options, I would rather take a
plus one eighty five greater with regards to the Sexast
Rangers money line. Fully knowing that Andre Heen he is,
on an essay, the world's most trustworthy starter. Throughout his career,
He's given up about one play five home runs per
nine ennings. This season seven walks and twelve innings has
been far from terrific. But Chris Sale He's been a

(01:05:15):
little bit wobbly thus far this season as well. Chris
Sale has still been able to get his strikeouts twenty
punchouts at seventeen to two thirds innings, but has given
up five walks. He's been giving up a lot of
contact in general, and that includes giving up a five
spot in his last start against the Miami Marlins. Now
you know this about the Atlanta Brays. This team is
going to hit. There are once again in the top
of the big leagues in terms of so many of

(01:05:35):
these offensive categories. Not quite home runs because of Ultimore
Orioles exist. But Marcel Azuna eight om runs, he's supplying
north of a three p fifty batting average. And then
you've got a bunch of guys with multiple home runs.
They're moving the line. Medalson Michael Harris, Austin Riley, Ozzi Albi's.
All these guys multiple home runs, all these guys hitting
at least a two to sixty one. I mean, Ronald
Keuney Junior hasn't even gotten going quite yet as well

(01:05:57):
with regards to power. Four hundred on base but just
one home run. The same Lander Raceive still absolutely putting
up runs. Meanwhile, you've got a Texas Rangers team that
busted up for nine runs yesterday, and you know that
this team is going to be hitting when it's all
said and done. You've got Corey Seegers continue to move
the line. He's continued to be able to give you
a batting average right around three hundred, north of a
three hundred and fifty on base Adolas Garcia five bombs,

(01:06:21):
hitting above a three underd He's always been able to
give you power. The on base has always been a
little bit of a question mark. He's been able to
bust out why at Langford, even though he hasn't been
able to get his first home run, he's found a
way to be able to get on base as well.
Marcus Simeon, Jonah Hine, these are guys there finding way on.
You need some of the guys towards bound the full
Diotes to Veris, Evan Carter, Guys like this to be

(01:06:41):
able to get on a little bit more, and no
doubt about it. Not having Josh Young in the full
day in and day out that really has hurt this team.
But with the Rangers, I do like the fact that
they revamped their bullpen a little bit during the offseason.
They did have to get quite a few endings out
of it. As Jack Lighter, he did not give you
the start that he was you were hoping for yesterday.
But that said David robertson Kirby Yates getting picked up

(01:07:01):
in the offseason very big for this team, as you
are probably going to be having ose leclerk out the
fold after he had a large work rolload yesterday. But
Jacob Lats is a guy that, in my opinion, should
be able to give you multiple endings as well. Ose
Rainya did a really good job. I'll be able to
save some of your more trustworthy bullpen pieces yesterday as well.
For the Inland of Braves, this bullpen isn't great, It's

(01:07:22):
not terrible. Pierce Johnson came over last season and was
absolutely amazing in the bullpen. We've seen a little bit
of regression out of him, but osti Oglesia is still
one of the better closers that you're gonna find in
the big leagues. Atlanta overall currently about thirteenth of the
big leagues. With regards Bullpenny A. Ray, I think that
when it's all said and done, they'll be back in
the top ten when you're able to get a little
bit more out of Tyler Mans like who just spent
a little bit out of sorts. As far as the season,

(01:07:42):
I don't see why Aaron bummers on the roster by
filling Lee joy Amenez. These guys have been pretty rock solid.
But I do think that with Texas getting up north
of a plus one eighty, that's my by point on them.
I'll be willing to take a plus one eighty five
or greater with this Rangers money line, and with regards
to total, I did tell my til at a nine
point seven. I do think that both of these starters
give up quite a bit of contact. So when at
the over end the money line of the Texas Rangers

(01:08:03):
in twenty seven, nine twenty eight on the big board,
these Seattle Mariners that throw the facing off against the
Colrado Rockies. Dakota Hudson is on the bump for the Rockies.
Ever soon Hancock is on the bum for Seattle. Eleven
is a total under his minus one twenty d overs.
Even with Seattle, you're getting them between minus one twenty
five too, mins one thirty plus one ten er plus
one eighteen is that number on Colorado? I want to
lay up to a minus one thirty two with the Mariners.

(01:08:24):
I'm gonna be looking at them on the money line
ever sent Hancock is a little bit of a picture
contact guy. But is that any different than Dakota Hudson.
Dakota Hudson last season was given you only about six
strikeouts of four walks per nine huntingcent For Dakota Hudson.
The only thing that he's done well throughout his career,
is not give up a whole bunch of home runs,
but even with that, he's been giving up more and
more hard contact over the years as well. So I've

(01:08:46):
got massive concerns with him and for Amberson Hancock. In
his brief time at the big league level, he has
been a little bit unlucky. Six forty one RA, which
is not great, and I'm not saying that a five
eighteen fielding dependent is amazing or anything like that, but
clearly has been the victim of balls in play that
have not gone his way. He only has been able
to get about six rightcouts for nine and Ennings has

(01:09:06):
given up in his big league time. This is between
last year and this year five home runs in twenty
six and two third innings, but it is only giving
up about one point seven walks Bernin and Nis. Meanwhile,
Hudson is giving out all sorts of walks and he's
back to by a Rocky's bullpen. That's one of the
lesser ones that you're gonna find out there in the
big leagues. Twenty eighth out of your thirty teams in
terms of bullpenny ray, and that's where the Seattle Manners
really do come into play their number six in the

(01:09:28):
league in terms of Bullpenny Ray. Even with having Matt
Brash out of the fold, this team has been able
to find a way with some of their reclamation projects,
guys like Trent Thornton, Taylor, Cicado Cape Spire. They just
have a good eye for talent out there in the bullpen.
They now have had in bretday Gice, he's been able
to give them some relatively solid ennings. As far as
a little bit more of a long guy. Andre's Munjos
has been very good in the closers role in with
the Corad Rockies. Victor Vodnick has actually been quite good

(01:09:51):
for this team. It's a fun name to say, and
he's been all down the four. But when you do
have so many of these schlubs out there, like justin Lawrence,
Anthony Molina, Tyler Kinley giving you eras and north of
had as of right now, that's not good. Jake Bird
is not a guy that NSAY have a lot of
faith in as well, and Lacott red Rocky's They clearly
significantly better at home rather than away from home. This

(01:10:12):
team last season at about five point three five runs
per game at home, more like three point six five
runs per game away from home, and the home en
roads was they have ra commenced for the Rockies right now.
They're hitting about a two thirty five is collective when
they're away from home, just eight home runs in thirteen
games when they've been on the road thus far. At home,
they've got eight home runs in six games, so same
amount of home runs seven fewer games. Hitting about a

(01:10:33):
two seventy five is collective at Almezekiel Tovar, Ryan McMahon,
Brenton Doyle all hitting well above a threer when they've
been at home. Elizis has given you good production when
he's been out there. He's been a little bit in
and out of the fold though, so that's been a
bit of an issue, but should be good to go
in this one. I don't understand why they have, like
Jake k of Chris Bryant, this lineup. With regards to
the outfielders, it's been a little bit of a inconsistency

(01:10:55):
with them and Chris Bryant, they've actually moved first base
as well. He's on the ten day injured list, which
honestly probably elevates this lineup with the way that he
was hitting a buck forty nine this season. But for
the Rockies, you certainly have a role that I sarin.
For the Seattle Manners, it's been rough goings for the
offense as far as this season, but five plus runs
in two of those three games against the Cincinnati should
be able to get them going in For Seattle, for

(01:11:16):
some reason, they always just get off to a little
bit of a rough start in general, but they do
have a core tend of guys with three home runs
Day Polanco, cal Rawley, Tom can Zone along with Mitch Hanneger.
Hanniger has really been the one guy that has been
able to move the line and get on base along
with Josh Ross. Both of these guys hitting north of
two ninety five. Got a little bit of production out
of Ty France as well. But what you really need
for the team is the likes of Mitch Garver, JP Crawford,

(01:11:38):
Ode polonco Ulio Rodriguez. These guys can get two twenty
or lower that you expect more from to be able
to produce, and in the case of mister Rodriguez is
yet to go deep thus far this season. I do
think that that is going to be turning around. I
do think that cours is a great place to be
able to do so. And I do think that Seattle
is going to be able to get to Hudson and
this bad bullpen, I think that you get a high
scoring affair. So eleven point six. Both of these starters

(01:12:02):
are pitching contact guy. So I do like the over
and I do like the Mariners on the money line.
Don't want to mess around with that run line. And
we're playing up with nine twenty nine, nine thirty on
the bank board. The Toronto Blue Jays are on the road,
facing off against the San Diego Potters. Matt Waldern goes
for the Patters, and you're gonna be going with mister
Yardiello Rodriguez on the bove for Toronto. Toronto is an
underdog if any between minus one of five dollars plus

(01:12:23):
one or two between minus one twelve to two minus
one twenty two, that number on San Diego eight and
a half is the total over and under between minus
one of five do minus one fifteen, And I did
set the Potterys out of minus one twenty seven. I'm
gonna be willing to roll with them on the money line.
Matt Walder and actually coming off of a really nice
start against the LA Dodgers, and I liked what I
saw from him in spring training. First start of the
season at home against the Saint Louis Cardinals, did not

(01:12:45):
deliver a great performance from past said, he's actually looked
half way decent if you look between last year and
this year at the big league level, fort eighty six
field league dependent, because he has been giving up quite
a bit of our contact one point six on runs
for nine, and he's and this year the three point
eight walks for nine. Ennis is in issue, but it's
swinging mid stuff his way up. As a rookie of
seven punch outs for nine ennings, he's up to ten
punch outs per nine nightnings as far this season. And

(01:13:06):
for YadA Yell Rodriguez, he comes over after being a
little bit of I believe it Cuban defector. I know
that he was born out there in Cuba, so that's
something to keep in mind. As he was pitching a
lot in like the Mexican winter legs, he was pitching
over seas, things like this, and he's got relatively good stuff.
You saw that in his first start only went three
and two thirds innings. He's not necessarily built for giving

(01:13:29):
you like eighty five plus pitches or anything like that
to this point, but he is someone that I was
able to throw quite a bit of gas. It's just
a question of again, the Blue Jays have his back
with regards to the bullpen, as they do now back
in the fold two of their main relievers, Eric Swanson
Jordan Romano, who are so good for them last season,
but you could tell that they're a little bit rusty
after beginning of the season on the injured list. Chad
Green is someone I do like in this bullpen as well,

(01:13:50):
but Justics Scubert can be a little bit up and
down as well. You've got a long guy in Trevor
Richards I don't asually have a lot of faith in
as well. And the bigger thing that I don't have
faith in for the Blue Jays is a turning it around.
With regards to the lineup. This lineup has been a
very rough to say the least this season, as Justin
Turner has been the main guy to be able to
get on base for you hitting north of the three.
Aron just one home run, but has done a very
rock solid job on that front. But I mean Dalton

(01:14:12):
var Show, Vligero Junior, George Springer or Boba Schet, Aleander Kerr,
Kevin Kiermeier, all these guys are hetting a two twenty
seven or lower, and no other than Guerrera and Springer.
Then these guys are giving you really much more than
a three hundred on base. Isaiah Canari Falafa, I mean
he's been okay, he's given you a three thirty on base.
Its not going to provide a lot of power, but
has found away on base from time to time. And
I actually liked what David Schneider has brought to the

(01:14:33):
table as well. But this Blue Jays team has been
very rough on offense. I feel like we maybe overrated
them in recent years. And for the San Diego Patres,
even with having Juan Soto off the team, you've still
got Fernando Tatis, Junior, Benny Machad Opera guys with the
combined nine home runs. Both of these guys doing a
solid job at be outreach base, especially Tatis with the
three seventy five on base. Xander Bogartz has been a

(01:14:53):
miserable contract this far. He is hitting just a two
hundred with one home run this far the season. But
Trake Coronerworth, after he was awful last year, he's been
able to give you about a two to fifty average.
He's providing three home runs awesome, give him three bombs
want them day a little bit better than like a
two thirty. But he's been very good out there in
the field as well. Jackson Merrill as a rookie has
found away on base with earth of four hundred on base.
So I do like what they're able to provide in

(01:15:14):
for the Padres. It's a not great, not terrible bullpen
situation with them. Johnny Burrito is not good in this bullpen,
But that said Yuki Matsuia, they bring over from the
knee poe Baseball League, has been sad and Yea Delos Santos,
Jantie Peralta. These are guys that had some three five
yards at other stops last season. And I do think
that Matt Waldron comes in old down the fortnite. I
do think that for Rodriguez, though you might not lend
a ton of lengths, I think that he's going to

(01:15:36):
be Realtoviy Rocks odd as well. I do think that
the Blue Jays getting back their injured pieces for the bullpen,
gonna be able to hop out with this under as well,
and one the more pitcher friend of the ballparks out
there in all baseball. So somebody tell it at eight
point two. I like the under and I like the
padres on the money line. Set them more around a
minus one twenty seven and that wripes things up for
