#MLB #DFS Picks & Strategy for #DraftKings & #FanDuel (8/30/24)

[Music] what is up Rog Grinders happy Friday right now let start a two hours two plus hours non-stop MLB DFS conversation taking straight up to lock straight up the first pitch 705 707 710 7ish uh crunch time coming in around 6:15 or so you got uh will Will's coming in in addition to chief meteorologist Kevin Roth Taylor Smith as well myself kid yahooo leader of The jugal Jug Nation it's Kirkwood kir how are uh how are things in your world uh hectic right now actually to be honest with you but pretty good um ready for this slate well trying to get ready it's going to be more like we figure it out together okay um interesting stuff here how we're going to deal with like Blake Snell and how we're going to deal with the Orioles that's the Slate right that's the Slate it's a super super chalky Blake Snell which is never comfortable and it's super chalky Baltimore in Kors uh like we saw what the Marlins did in Coors this is like a real live baseball team I know you're not a fan of Baltimore you think they're kind of uh fraudulent you like to take your shots but they do have the highest total on the board they're locked in for nine they are facing a lefty which which might lead to some pinch hit stuff uh me and Steve were talking about that pre-show as well producer Steve I presume we are projecting Austin Slater to draw the start but again Baltimore their bench is deeper these days when a lefty comes out gber most almost definitely a right is gonna come in and we'll be curious to see what Baltimore does with their pinch hitters probably o''h in the bench probably Mullen in the bench uh we'll see we'll see how that goes again it's hard to predict if the score is 15 to one they're probably just going to keep those guys in there but uh you know they need a a key hit you they're down by one Slater versus ay is almost definitely coming out yeah that's an interesting conversation I uh I don't know what to do with Snow either but like he's at home in the best ballpark versus the worst defense and the counter of that is that he's he pitches against himself right he's not really facing a team he is facing a team but it's all about what he's bringing on that particular day we saw last time out where he could just walk the world and that's it if he can't throw strikes he can't pitch and they just have to take him out of the game so and he's what 50% owned Kirkwood is that where we're at right now I believe so amongst the 20 pitchers tonight he's going to be on half the roster is on DK fully Justified it makes sense um I think if I remember correctly yeah his last start do you know how many hits he gave up his last start by chance he only lasted three Innings I do he gave up uh zero hits yeah no hits he threw a no hitter but he had six walks and the pitch count was outrageous um and that's just that's just what he does sometimes and it's super annoying and that's uh you know I I'm not playing we'll talk about the stacks that are on I'm not gonna like do the old leverage thing and stack the Marlins it's probably if he doesn't get there it's because he's just walking a bunch of dudes and you know I don't think the Marlins get their two points two points at a time but uh yeah 10 gamer Kirkwood I guess uh you're gonna be back here in a second I just saw you disappeared I'm not sure if you're still in the frame if you're still with me oh there you are all right my apologies I didn't see you the dip out for a second uh yeah 10 game slate by no Cory Seager he's not in the Texas lineup lineups are sprinkling in on through as we're having the conversation as we're speaking no left on left for Seager uh Baltimore their team total is what six almost six yeah closing in on six is that uh of course that's the only team in that kind of territory the Yankees close to five Eric fetty uh on the mountain for St Louis against him uh Cleveland 4.7 pretty good weather there in uh in Cleveland according to the weather

Kirkwood I think Kansas City somebody you are you are my right-hand man you are the one I'm I'm turning to for NFL right now I am not ready uh well I mean you don't have to be right if you're playing if your focus is DFS we care about today and today only you care about today today is baseball you'll care about football when we get there right uh okay so Green Bay is in Philadelphia on Friday nights they're not in Philadelphia I guess Philadelphia is the home team designated but I believe that is the game in Brazil uh yeah KC opens up Thursday night at home versus uh Baltimore that should be a fun one for sure so I wanted to tell the chat what I was uh getting at by saying I turned to you for NFL so Dean oh has been my right-hand Math rightand Man for drafting season long so uh I'm in so one of my good poker friends I always help him in uh it's a bunch of Poker fish but it's a nice you know nice nice price League where you can win a lot of money Dean so Dean Dean was at the helm of that two drafts actually one for each that team is Amazing by the way I don't want a Victory lap but that I did an incredible job so and now I'm getting messages from my my friend he's like this guy just offered me three for one you know trying to get waddle for uh um uh Swift and uh like two other players I was like no it's like anybody who's offering you for three for one trade is a fish and just they're trying to get over on you or they're offish just just you literally just drafted your team he's like but he said I need a running back I'm like no just you you're doing nothing so we're gonna have to we're gon to charge him a management fee we're gonna get into that later Dean off off air but I want to tell the after two dra the big boy is going down on Saturday and it's a it's one of my uh good poker friends and he's in a league with Paul Pierce and Irv Gotti and Dean is going to be drafting that draft so I thought it was like a silent partner I didn't really okay yeah's let's do it I'm excited I'm looking forward to it and uh I'm in yeah you're silent but I can tell but nobody if the these worlds don't intertwine so and I want to say also how you got the you got you you Wally pipped someone so last year chop was the one to draft in that league and they finished last place and uh he got he got the boot this year and I said I got somebody else in in steps my man Dean and uh everybody body's happy so far at this point but well we're we haven't lost the game yet so you know there's nothing to complain about uh just give it a week and I'm sure they'll be something to complain about for sure I think it was honestly I think the the chops team that he drafted was the all-time lowest score in the history of their league or something so everybody they kept inviting me back like a lot like saying you know and uh but we we we we've got him we've got it we've got him this year choa playing low ball is that what you're saying yeah everyone got injured we ran terribly he he had Aaron Rogers with our quarter but we had Garrett will like it was just like everything that could go wrong went wrong may we may uh for teers we may be talking about a little bit of football later on in the show for tear so uh stay tuned for that when it comes to Power Rankings less than a week until the NFL season starts uh but tonight we care about MLB DFS it is a 10 gamer we kind of touched about you know uh very very clear like what the obvious stuff is Baltimore and Colorado has that lineup dropped just yet I don't think it has got an eye on it most recent lineup that came out was Arizona um yeah and again the Rangers dropped there is no there's no uh Cory Seager so cross him out uh one of the well I guess left on Lefty wasn't one of the more popular players in the Slate but just worth noting um yeah do you want to give me uh your thoughts as far as the overview you know Snell framber uh Tak on Kansas City but do we want to pour one out we want to pour brought some pasta for our boy Vinnie Vinnie Linguini Vinnie pasquantino done for the season he's got a think has a finger um just a on fet Friday of all days like I it happened yesterday but the news dropped late last night my season long team yeah I it's it's it's struggling struggling it made me sick to my stomach I was all ready they're gonna miss I was ready for my fetuccini tonight and uh and it's gone and we don't have meatball Mondays anymore Pini Tuesdays are ruined it's just it's it's a it's a shame what is Wednesday what was Wednesday Wednesday was Prince spaghetti day but you got you guys put up a lot of fight on that one the only that is I think it's a Regal a reg it's a regional thing yeah yeah so that's a bummer he was having an awesome second half too a big hole in Atlanta for Kansas City now it's just Bobby Whitten you know basically it's Bobby Whitten the you know the Vincent Vega Pulp Fiction gift where he's just looking around for good teammates uh Kansas City's not really fully loaded but that's a that is a bummer uh cross him off the list and that makes a framber framber vales his life a little bit easier tonight taking on the Royals without Vin pasquantino uh a couple other good pitchers you know historically good well Kirby is a good pitcher but not like a great strikeout pitcher taking on the terrible angels we got uh slip and Jimmy's brother Tyler McGill is taking on the white socks he's probably like your your deao SP2 dour I think for cash games on DK you just pay up you're still playing cash games these days you're you're just paying up double barrel with Snell and Valdez and just find a way to make that work um John Gray I don't think he's throwing enough pitches I'm a little bit concerned about that um we're projecting 75 as a medium projection which to me seems a little bit ambitious uh he is facing Oakland though uh but I just and also gr's like you know old and not very good and there's no reason to push him in Texas is going nowhere so uh I'm not really in on that as a I you know what I I he's not stretched out but didn't I had a recollection who did they we went through this something like this with either John Gray or um somebody on Texas where they he didn't look stretched out at all and then all of a sudden they let him throw like out of nowhere Dunning maybe I'm not sure it was no it was it was uh it was either eraldi or gray I think but I can't remember I don't know uh it just po into my head that's all 27 pitches 53 pitches last time um maybe he jumps up to 70 maybe but he's also like not very good anymore he got shellacked last time by Cleveland I'm curious if people are gonna be rostering him Steve is saying it was e of Aldi in chat yeah he like broke the slate and it was like you can't play him and it so it always like was in the back of my mind about Texas they're another team though like they're not really going anywhere Texas right I mean he's old there's really no reason to push gray I don't think uh like he SL is not working at the moment any anyway and that's the whole key for him so he's he's not good anyway right now um yeah we attack him we attack him but uh this is a crazy slate um I mean it this is like the highest chalk pitcher like on a 10 game slate for Friday with Snell and Valdez and then two of the two highest offenses are obviously the Orioles and the Mets right Mets are Yankees I I think are you know I think Cleveland's kind of interesting too um I think it's pretty clear what the best STS are but yeah it's it's Baltimore in their own tier right and then probably the Mets against Jonathan canon in that Bullpen uh ballpark bump for them for sure um and then Pro maybe the Yankees maybe the Yankees are next but yeah I think it's pretty clear like what the quote unquote good stuff is uh it is a 10 gamer you know baseball stuff always happens but it is pretty obvious like what you're I don't want to say supposed to do but like you know you know weird things happens to baseball all time some team's going to come out of nowhere and put up a 12 spot hard to figure out who that's going to be um try to who else that I guess Colorado is also one of the more popular Albert Suarez is not somebody we're afraid of necessarily and they have a five total the Rockies so I guess you can throw him in that mix I put him fifth in my stacks I did it earlier today I believe you did it as well right myself yourself uh Dave pots and I want to say squirrel I think we are the four that participated in the rankings should shout out squirrel by the way squirrel did two shows yesterday did other content as well I think his articles and things of that sort and then at night he took down DK uh he shipped the big boy on uh on DK with it's getting it's getting it's getting it's getting to the point now where I'm just getting jealous and I'm not happy for him anymore and that's that's when that's when you are you've made the top of the game you know what I mean like that's that's there is no better compliment than that he's very good man he's very he's very very good uh I saw the uh the Linker they were they were showing like a what he was talking about on crunch time yesterday um on Twitter talking about the Dodgers and I almost got there I had a moment I had a moment I had a chance not to make this about me but uh Gunner had the bases loaded and he was on my best team and we we were in Striking Distance and he speaking of Striking Distance he struck out with the bases loaded and that uh well dreams dreams were kill but it's that's where you want to be in baseball right where you have what a bat your you're one swing away to make that big jump at late late and that's that's where I was I was positioned but uh did not better I I I ran the best in a live final which was the be like the biggest score I ever had by far and uh and um tell me tell that story time I got uh I got three homers in the the top of the ninth inning uh which oh the reliever for Washington right is that was it D ditt and then I so that's what I did is I bought a do little Jersey after I won instead of the so what did you jump from like 10K to 200k so I was like initially was like in the top like five like the whole time and then like I just it like it was over like nothing it was already I I my fate was sealed um and I was gonna I was gonna be like top 20 or something and like so I was like already like then all of a sudden the ninth inning comes around and like uh Homer okay second Homer okay okay and look at then then I got the ryy the the Ryan braa low owned Homer yeah which was the one the the one that really did took me to second I couldn't catch first because of my pitching um but uh I mean there's just no better feeling what was the Le but what we were from 20 grand or 10 grand to what 350 I went no I went from like 75 to like like I was going to get like 75 maybe like maybe like a 100 m like at it was like 50 to 100 in there like that range and then uh I jumped to 350 it was insane like uh but like there's no better feeling than that um but then now we chase that feeling and we have to go through 1,000 times where the Gunner where they strike out like over over and over again to get back to that point but I mean homers are hard it turns out like the most likely thing is the player is still gonna we say how great these hitters are and how much of a gas can this pitcher is the most likely scenario every bat is the player gets out um maybe there's a few exceptions I don't know uh but basically the most likely scenario the player gets out um do hit that like button by the way what's up chat uh like subscribe turn on notifications do all those things uh we do have ownership we kind of touched on it I want your picture overview we mentioned it already Snell 49% currently on DK second most popular is framber Valdez taken on a Kansas City team without Vinnie P 27% double barrel seems like a route you can go obviously you can't go double barrel and you know uh Gunner and santand there uh you know all the Boppers there from Baltimore because we do live in the world of a salary cap uh Pablo Lopez up next versus Toronto 27% McGill at 17 he's the first cheapy dour to jump in there Kirby just not the K rate necessary but still against the Angels he should be really really solid coming at at 15% then there's gausman kind of a Down year for him at 10% we mentioned gray at 10% Lively not really on that uh strowman at 72 just doesn't strike anybody out like what is the upside of strowman uh I guess he can go six fiveish cleenish and get a win I tagged him so I'm on salary Savers today and okay s me on strowman there it's not it's a tough you want to hear my my my sales pitch my sales pitch was if you just if you just have to have another salary saving pitch on DK I'd first recommend trying to get up to Pablo Lopez like getting getting out of there like going just rebuilding but if you need the savings I would go to strowman if I had to and like all you're hoping for and is an in efficient outing with like and it's something that he very well can do against this lineup um but it's not going to come with a lot of Str you're just going to need efficiency and you're going to get the win you're you're hoping for an easy win here with the Yanks fat but there it's a tough sell like mill is the clear cheapy like he's the only like really good cheap play I I think I mean any of these guys can come through like JP Sears could come through um but uh Migel would Mill's my guy but if you have if you have to you wanna like you don't you don't want to take the chalk with Miguel because Miguel's ownership is going to going to be up there too as well um the thing with him is a lot of strikeouts right uh 26% case but a lot of walks and a lot of fly balls yeah so he's kind of a he's kind of a poor man's SN if you really kind of look at well I mean if you look at it they're I mean beside yeah the poor man from the strikeout very poor man but like the walk percentage they're like neck and neck he's a Snell's at 11.2% on the season Mill's at 10.5 however there's a lot he he's coming off of a really strong start on the 18th in Triple A and overall just being good in Triple A um and the the swing and Miss stuff has always been there with him and this is Chicago who's dead last in everything WRC plus wova ISO um against right-handed pitching so what about walks where are they at with walks patient are they I I'm pulling that up right now I'm sort of thinking uh 6.7% collectively as far as the the lineup today Lopez is a little bit patient cheats a little bit patient but not really patient collectively on the season they rank 20 they rank their active roster ranks 27th yeah so that's good yeah I saw I was reading in Dave's article he was talking about McGill racking up aollo case and he should rack apalo K in the minor let's see uh posted 32.9% ks in Triple A adding a 26.3% k rate in is nine starts which yeah that is the third highest uh as far as the Slate but again walks flyballs but then he's facing Chicago I just don't love that he's like popular you know what I mean like this is the kind of Play I Don't Like that's popular but you know I like the upside but we're dealing with all popular like it's like nobody wants to like so what are our other options here framber so I mean framber is gonna be extremely popular yeah so not as popular as nown but yeah he's who's not gonna be popular that I we can actually that we can actually pitch let's let's go let's look so I mean the the the Snell and uh fanberg great Pablo Lopez has been a little shaky but toron this Toronto lineup stinks the lad is is good and Springer's been a hotter betat as of late but other than that that lineup it's not very good uh George Kirby against the Angels um you know Kirby strugg struggled a little bit but uh he should be able to do this match up but that's and then there's like Mcgill and that's that's what we're dealing with ownership like so the other guys to like who else you going to play besides that group are you really going to go John Gray are you going to go Gman are you going to go Ben Lively are you going to go strowman Sears I mean you could you could do worse than a Zack gallon but it's a horrible matchup against the Dodgers Kershaw's on the bump but like he does not look the same whatsoever and Arizona is just a very potent offense I mean you know anything about this uh is this is this guy getting the start this Samuel yeah I was looking into him he was the the fifth rank Prospect in the organization for the Angels um looking at his Moder League stuff and kind of his projections doesn't um like in double A you know 133% 13k per nine too many walks sort of a typical you know Fair bit of strikeouts Fair bit of walks but I'm not terribly enthused I wanted to see what uh Steamers got him projected to strike out 19.8% in the majors and walk 10.5% so that right there is not something I'm into um it doesn't seem like something I want basically long story short uh King is saying Sears in chat no Seager I think amongst all the nonsense you threw out there I don't know if I'm gonna get there but Sears might be yeah he would be favorite amongst that nonsense I now the only thing here is that it's like he's not even you guys hear Dylan he's uh he loves he's having a good time yeah um 7900 though it's like I would expect to be a little lighter but like Texas has not Texas has been bad and no se you know what's funny last night like what's that the bat wouldn't the bat spent all season not re like saying Texas was terrible play you know like all like it would never recommended Texas and then this SE like it loves Texas this season funny how um yeah I don't and I guess they've been what was it yeah last year that was the thing where everybody came at cardi for Texas being that he was saying Texas was not spectacular I think he was saying it at a time when they were dealing with some injuries not to make excuses for cardi but I think that's when he was saying it um other names that are being thrown out here in chat by the way Casey wants to know is Mill I know your kid Yahoo is Migel not on Yahoo not on there he's not there ohuh okay that's weird I mean it always been in the miners so maybe they kicked him out of the player pool but that's that's strange and I don't know why it has they have to be purposely trying to make their time lock different than FanDuel and Yahoo right I mean fand I think they're trying to be different I think so but I don't know but that that that's the only thing that makes sense because they they want to like counter it's like counterprogramming I think that's what they're doing we got a Baltimore lineup not surprisingly uh Albert AC Slater we got Austin Slater oh boy I thought Dylan would be tired out from his walk earlier today he still got a a bundle of energy huh yeah he uh he's fired up he's fired up I want to go check on him but uh if you want if you have to go check on him go for it uh Slater leading up all right Slater is leading off for Baltimore we got Santan D batting second Henderson Henderson third uh Jimenez dhing batting fourth IUS fifth there's cower Rivera mccan is in there uh noted Lefty Masher some people would say at least once upon a time uh so no rushman that makes the the stack a little bit easier to get just one more bat though that's a can pinch hit right holiday the left on left who might only get almost definitely only gets two of bats firstus the Lefty anyway from the start um Derek is saying Dylan has hopped up on munchkins can you confirm or deny uh I gave him actually he did have Donuts today that was much earlier I did give him some so I put him in his play pen which he's like kind of outgrowing at this point and he's got so many toys and he's literally just throwing all of his toys like um it's looks like a war zone um but uh yeah he had a bunch of cook he's hopped up on cookies I don't want to be like a paranoid Pete but uh look this Baltimore uh bench has adley rushman it's got uh o'n it's got Mullins I'm just saying Slater Rivera thean there's some vulnerable pinch stuff here just just kind of mentioning not saying you can't play these guys just understand the situation going in uh Michael saying anyone know if any of their outfielders are more likely to play because of the uh cores in their Outfield range it's a good question I I would say that's probably why Jimenez is dhing right I don't think he's noted for his defense I'm not like a defensive like Savant guy but uh yeah that's suggested he probably dhes anyway who do they have in the Outfield santand there he's kind of a big boy out there in right field cowser in Center he's not going to get moved and the left field also maybe Slater sticks around for his defense I don't know I know that's a good question but I still think there's a chance he gets especially if like the situation call so who who's their bench who who are the guys coming in so they've got um rushman Mullins oarn three lefties well rushman Rush's not in the lineup correct yeah yeah so I'm just I'm just saying not trying W for the fantasy Labs version to update but it's not so RG has it it should be well I just I saw it on Twitter and it should you hit hit refresh and it'll probably pop up in a second got I got it different yeah and I'm just trying to think there's one I think there's one more hitter on the bench that uh they're gonna they're going to mix they're they're definitely gonna just there's gonna be a lot of pitch in Risk in there it depending unless they like are wrecking them then they'll yeah just let these guys go but if it's a blowout one way or the other it doesn't matter but you know if they're down one or two with the six like literally Slater and Jimenez are so cheap mhm Slater's going to be really really popular and uh we don't talk a lot of like player specifics on this this portion they talk about that more on crunch time but I'm gonna go out of my way to not have Slater I think I I don't want Slater on my team if he leads up the game with a home run whatever but like I just I'm not playing him on my he's gonna he's gonna lead off with a triple he's by the way he's he's stunk this year too just like I know he's like a lefty Master that's why that's how he sticks around in the league but uh he's not good 27 I think he's done okay since coming to Baltimore do you want to know his ice overs lefties this year is 48 it looks terrible it's not good it's not good a 267 will but striking out 26% of the time he is patient he'll take a walk 12.6% good for him but like I'm not going to be uh I'm not playing Slater I don't want to I shouldn't say say Mr ger you what Slater Slater's the mush of the day and I wanted to say what's up to jug Nation every single one of them that's in here and uh yeah let's by the way no George Springer you were talking about picking on a picking on Toronto gets a little bit easier for Lopez ah then you got a cheap Wagner too at 2.7k it's a lot you can do in this s um all right who's Nathan luks Nathan luks Nathan luks two that's the does that count for the two first names or the the S kill Nathan luks is 30 years old so he's not a prospect uh who is Nathan luks I don't is this has this person played baseball this year they did play 31 of bats last year which I just I don't remember what's the line on uh what's the line on Minnesota here as far as the betting line yeah this is going to be a Kirk all right let's I got my Hard Rock Sports Book open right now the best line but I might even have to do a run line here minus 160 minus U plus 125 minus minus one and a half are you feeling that I I I'll mus you I'm gonna do thank you appreciate that um what so it's minus 180 you have 160 you said uh yeah you have minus 180 DK hold on let me well oh wait a minute that might I I got to I gotta refresh here it might be yesterday's game yeah give me a refresh and let me know like you know if you go to the scores and odds you can find the best possible lines you can see what six seven different books obviously depending on what state you're in what access you have DK it's 180 let me check fle so you're telling me I should bet Minnesota minus 160 is what I'm hearing if it were me I would just stick your entire account on it you don't know how much I have my account does it matter regardless of what it is I would stick it all all right just if things go the wrong way you got a couch uh nice little couch over there I I C some room Dean you can I would love you could help out with Dylan that would be amazing well now you're G me you want to be a nanny wna be a give me responsibility you might just enjoy it and be like oh I got it would you trust me with your kid for like three hours I don't know I heard I heard you I heard you can't be like a hundred yards within a school zone or something like that that's that's not true that's the rumor chat like I don't think that's a rumor I'm pretty sure that's not a rumor uh back on track here 178 on FanDuel yeah you gotta smash smash that dude it's 160 on Hard Rock that's that's better that that's where you got to hit smash it right now did you smash it I did I did hit it I got the the Run line too and yeah dogs um I have a a great line of exper my resume with dog watching is spectacular if you ever need me to watch a dog I'm good with that if Phil doesn't need much I mean Phil is the most annoying dog in the world now and he like and there's a lot of problems stuff but other than like taking him out and like him begging for food all and needing to be near you at all times he's like easy as can be well I mean that's a good s that's that's about as good as your sales pitch for Marcus strowman like I showed you like like I go to the dog I go to the park for Dylan and I he just stays under in the little bottom cart and he does he's fine there he just stays he's like 10 right he's he's been around for a while 15 he's about to turn 15 oh wow um he's like the the Charlie Morton of dogs yeah he's uh is there better comp I don't know that's thought that's the first thing that came to mind but uh yeah all right um Lopez We like a little bit more right the absence of spr yeah I I love him no okay um look at this lineup it's just such trash like luk jenez I want to see Luke's K percentage stuff what has he projected the strikeout for in the majors um kind of a contact guy projected the strike out a 19.7% and Triple A this year 15.6% as far as case but like seven homers four stone bases just you know they don't have anybody I guess like they don't have a prospect that just kind of give him a taste but yeah 30 years old he's he's nothing like good for him he's back in the show but still grinding away but this is not somebody we should be uh we should be afraid of uh is there anything else we should say as far as pitchers Matt is saying gusin season we didn't really talk about gausman how do you feel about gin tonight I mean so basically they've just I mean it's a tough tough sell I'll look personally against Minnesota I just think Minnesota's pretty good um also he hasn't been the greatest he's coming off of like an incredible start in his last one against the Angels where he got 10ks um so up and down yeah he I mean he had he had his splitter back which has always been like his problem you know that's his like incredible pitch that he has and so he needs like the the heater and the splitter combo but um I mean this is a different test now so they they they they loaded up with lefties right so they got Castro lck walner Julian's back Lewis ke I mean that's he's got seven the first seven batters are all lefties um pulling up the plate IQ right now yeah it's G it's gonna show he's actually been been worse against righties but they're they're very comp they're basically the same so you said you're going to figure it out in the show we're having the no Royce Lewis sorry sorry Roy is not a yeah I was there's one righty in there with and Lewis but he's also you know super intimidating obviously yeah uh Julian he's he's kind of Fallen back to back to earth right he was spectacular when he came up and theny reminds me of he always has his like he always has like a bandana on his head like covering his bald head like he reminds me of chop with who you never could never find a picture of him without wears a bandanna know he wears a hat like he played the basketball RG game with a hat like he you I will put a bounty if anyone can get me a hatless picture of chop I will pay good money for it so anybody in the Texas area wants wants to uh try to make that happen oh man um I I was thinking you said bandana I thought a prison mic for some reason you said band yeah you know that absolutely that's that's up there too yeah all right um pitching wise we got to get the stacks here in a second yeah to see if there's any we did not cover I'm giving a refresh when it comes to ownerships and if anything's different probably get a new batch soon enough but uh yeah the paparazzi right now is they're all they're all heading for they're all heading for Texas right now 525 was the last ownership we got so about 15 minutes ago do we have much umpire data obviously a bunch of new series tonight but we have right now there are some extremes out there extreme hitters umpire hitters umpire for JP Sears uh oh for Pablo Lopez for John Gray and for Kevin gausman one extreme pitcher umpire CB Buckner that is strowman the stro show and uh fetty so you know this stuff again I always want to put the qualifier out there it can change almost likely likely it's not going to change but sometimes it will the start of new series uh not officially set in stone but this is where we're at right now okay um you want to give me the summary as far as you did you by chance see the video with um what is it Jambo what's that guy who always posts John boy yeah um yeah they're always good did you see the in-depth so like the Umpire um in the the the Mets versus uh it was against Burns against the O's and the the the overlay on the pitches were were all called strikes for the the Mets down low in the exact same pitches all uh the same exact spot all CAU balls against the Orioles and so uh they were yelling and chirping but he went into deep like on how it was really all uh Alvarez and where he was setting up and his approach to how coming from the bottom and putting his pulling his glove up instead of uh going down getting and putting up and he wouldn't also not holding not holding the spot for framing to just like get it up into the there and then move on like you're you're in motion still it was pretty incredible framing is such an underrated skill but it's so dumb that it means so much it really shouldn't what it means yeah but it really does matter a lot yeah well I mean uh they have him in the miners right now they're trying to figure out how to make it work Brandon Hyde for Baltimore he's just a hothead man that guy is always fired up about something uh the manager for he's just he just constantly is chirping you sticking up first guys uh all right we do need to get to Stacks momentarily uh anything else you want to touch on you said you're going to figure it out on the show have we figured it out um another guy that you could go to I I I would I would potentially consider Ben Lively yeah I saw somebody say his name in chat I guess you see it's like Lively versus Mill is kind of the question right I mean I would rather Migel for sure from the strikeout upside you're not getting the strikeout upside with Lively but you like if Migel blows up like there's not a lot of places to go Lively could certainly put up a good start against Pittsburgh 8.1 is is not bad um it's not great either but he would be the guy that we didn't really mention at all yeah um 19.6% KS in the season pretty much split as far as the strikeouts that's neutral 20 versus lefties 19 versus righties this Pittsburgh lineup you know Cruz will strike out McKenna will strike out but otherwise they're pretty contact heavy 23.5% as far as striking out not a ton of power Reynolds Cruz McCutchen it's basically it grandel thrown shown some power this year but I wouldn't necessarily be afraid of that fun fact Lively has 11 wins Lively has 11 wins exhibit a why one loss records are dumb let me see his ra too yeah working with a 3.62 erra yeah it's funny I haven't like I'm sure we can go through and find some weird one loss records like I'm just because it's just a lot of it's out of the players hands obviously George Kirby is nine- 10 on the season there you go there's one for you like he's an average pitcher folks he's nine and 10 but yeah they Lo they lose the close games because their offense is so putrid uhhuh yeah I mean like you can't you know your Bullpen blows games that kind of thing your offense is not scoring runs for you uh those things happen who was the pitcher that like would never get any run support like famously just never got run support oh it's uh it's de gr for the Mets de gr that's what it was yeah who by the way he's coming back soon just in time for the Rangers to get eliminated from the playoffs the groms coming back they're saying uh I think end of this home stand he might come back he just threw a couple innings in the minors good for him but like what's the point to come back when the season's already over but good for him don't get it hurt um anything else we should say as far as I want to hear TJ's pool I like when TJ gives us pool give give us a pull and in chat or is he coming is he on the next are you saying pool or pull what are you saying pool pool oh you're saying is oh he's pitching okay sometimes he goes he goes out there he goes off way off the track I want to know who or his off the track unless there was a last second Switcheroo far as I know TJ's not on the next show uh I believe it's Taylor will and uh Kevin Roth uh but TJ is hanging out in chat what's up the like button how many how are we doing for likes I haven't begged or gravel or we haven't offered any like Spidey bombs I'm gonna offer one I'm I I didn't get enough last but how many likes we're only at 68 yeah

are most likely football teams NFL teams to win the Super Bowl teams that are most likely to win the Super Bowl the big game can I say Super Bowl I don't know my apologies Google YouTube Lord uh but uh yeah whoever's gonna who's gonna win the big game this year Kirkwood that is today's board people in chat let me know most likely least likely to win the Super Bowl what do you have kirw who's winning the Super Bowl this year well we're GNA start from the back you're gonna have and you love everyone loves to to do this because uh it's gonna be the Pats are gonna be in the back because first of all the pats live rentree in everybody's head so people are GNA just love to bash us when they're rebuilding very defensive answer no I just know how it goes um but uh you know what I have I have family history connections to the Jets yeah and my entire should I have a follow question or should I not have a follow question no we're not gonna get into it we're not gonna prounce what it really is but I grew up with my uncle also telling me because of this family connection to the that's that you always bet on the Jets and they've always been the worst team in the league forever ever since that pretty much except like a couple of anomaly Seasons yeah I think time he mused them is what you're saying no they're they're just they've been mushed for forever and ever um it's just funny like he was like so I I've grown up being a a compulsive Gambler not comp compulsive Gambler who's actually won money but regardless so it's not a problem um it's only a problem if you're yeah exactly but uh Tim Kirk current program it's good guess I thought your uncle was like Mark gasto or something guy throws a hell of a hell of a spiral um but uh anyways he was just he's always bet on the Jets and so it's always been in like whenever they were like have a good season they got to the playoffs I I would pound them you know but uh I think this is I think the Jets are going to make some noise I don't know if that they don't have enough to do it I I'll take the chalk and I'll go with just Kansas City as always because Mahomes is just on a different level but uh that so I'll take Casey up top and then uh but Jets will be my number two Aaron is saying Houston plus 1600 uh fat meat greasy Baltimore or Dallas um Jose is asking about t Bradley for cash I don't know what site that is is that Dallas has no Dallas has zero chance I'm not on Dallas too you'll see the board in the second I I they're like they have Houston upcoming teams L you gotta like what the lions are doing um and plus they have a good good motivate motivation coach so um yeah TSH Bradley is is certainly in play I tagged him for salary saber today uh for Yahoo yaho yeah it's a tough strikeout matchup he's only 34 bucks Kirby is only 40 if you really want to go bats heavy bats you can do like the the Taj and uh Kirby or Taj and Snell whichever you want but like if you really want all the bats you can go Taj and Kirby Matt attack is saying wow no ners well like you know you know how it goes we can't we're not ranking the four best teams the four teams that are most likely the five teams that are most likely one is like the elite tier two is like the next tier three is kind of in the middle four is kind of like uh I guess there's a chance and five is the one that basically has no shot uh officially I had a Chicago in there in the four spot and made a last second Switcheroo we wanted to tilt the Dallas fans out there the Laker fans out there uh yeah Kansas City is the most popular team you know they're they're still bringing back the nuts rice what a slap in the face to Steve to not have the Jets on this for he took he took Umbridge with the list and I actually am not on the Jets uh I I don't I don't really see it I know their defense is good I mean they have an elite defense and they should now finally have if if if Rogers is like even what 60% Rogers 70% Rogers like it's that they they've they've desperately needed a QB and they now they have all like Bree and uh and G will they have they have they've got we they had those guys last year but yeah they had and have quarterback play they don't have a quarterback you just have to have like it's so crazy how that's like so few people who can actually efficiently play quarterback for an NFL 8 billion people there's like 8 billion people in the world there's like 12 people that can like throw like literally a handful one like two handfuls that that can even be competent like it's wild it's insane that we don't have more I I think he they think they uh Ron Barlo likes the bills uh I'm I'm shorting I'm shorting the bills this year yeah I don't I don't know they lost a lot of receivers obviously I think Diggs is kind of toast for the record it's a different conversation he did land in a great spot but I'm kind of out on him give me the long list of 31 olds 30y olds that that transfer teams wide receivers that transfer teams in the middle of their career and actually made an impact it's like two guys that's one it's Randy Moss and Terrell Owens that's it that's the list keep going you got nothing else um all right we have we have Kansas City up top Baltimore second I think I love McDaniel the Dolphins are fun I'm down here in South Florida he just got resigned by Ian dolphins are fine that's for sure dolphins are fun speed like I I just I love I love the way they attack the game their defense you know they don't like cold weather either we saw that last year in the playoffs um almost put the Lions up there I'm a fan of the Lions I saw people tting the Lions yeah fun team um TJ saying Anquan Balden I gotta we gotta check that we gotta check that at Anan Balden we gotta check the stats on on Bal transferring from Arizona to what team did he transfer to S Frank we got we gotta we gotta Google this amonda was El amandola get out of town Dallas just uh and of course I had to tilt you a little bit with the you did anticipate New England was gonna land on the board no surprise F they deserve it there I mean it's this is the this is the saddest roster you'll ever see yeah okay uh we gotta go uh St Louis Yankees eight and a half strowman fetty where do you have the Yankees and the Cardinals on the stack board well to win a slate especially when there's Orioles and cores what do you need need home runs and what do the Yankees do they hit the long at home yeah they do I mean the the numbers are just sto and judge are just ridiculous Stanton's finally coming coming to life a lot of it's been some good match up but he's he's he's coming back jazz is is rocking and rolling so I love that I actually have them up top but uh just because of uh I mean we put him up top Steve will put him up there for you yeah I I'll put him up top it's not it's not that I mean fetty's been pretty good but it's more about like if the Yanks are ready to to unleash so I agree with you I think they should be up there as well did you say where St Louis goes I'm sorry if he did I missed it I me strowman's average um I don't like St Louis as a team in general so uh yeah he Steve n that put him right in that's where I'd put him as well I did pull up Balden by the way he did yeah played for Baltimore and San Fran uh 837 yards his first game of Baltimore 30 years old and 887 9 921 never more than seven touchdowns till his last game his last season how the hell why does why does TJ have balen stats I don't well no no I just pulled him up but that was the first guy he thought of but well he he said had over a thousand yards two seasons in a row like what what yeah but but thousand yards big deal okay that okay you got a thousand yards congratulations yeah it's not yeah yeah he he was fine he he was fine but he's he's not in the same tier as what is TJ talking about boot what is he talking about he should be talking about like Ricky Williams and and Warren Moon and and Doug fluty stick to Canadian football TJ all right CFL he should be Steve Young you know was didn't he play in the CFL at one point yeah I believe so Marcus Allen's brother is like got like all the quarterback stats up there um all right Pittsburgh and Cleveland eight and a half is the total Ben Lively versus Ben falter both was fine it was a good answer but still is at the bo uh where do we have the Pirates and the Guardians good weather here by the way I I do want to mention uh less things have changeed let's give a refresh earlier in the day well I'm gonna you tell me where does CLE when in Pittsburgh go and I'll go ahead and peek the old weather Rich um man I do Cleveland here against I think falter is okay um but uh I think this this this this Guardians lineup I'm still waiting for Lane Thomas to break out and I think tonight's GNA be a home run so I I like them in the second spot just the tier below um I think there's a lot of upside you know they like to run the bases that you know Pittsburgh is kind of gutless um did you see how they blew last Skin's last start oh my God is that the one where they gave like seven runs of the Cubs no like they blew that and then they I think there was another start I don't know if that was the same where they yeah they give like 10 runs or something like well SCH just doesn't have the will to win is the thing that's on him yeah um and as far as pit go I don't I mean say what you want about Ben Lively and his Arsenal and stuff and the numbers don't look great but he's been effec him and so it's not someone I really want to attack I think again pit is always a mini stack for me anyway it's always like bri like it's like why play pit when you can just play Brian Reynolds O'Neal Cruz and um one more and like get all the production you want to play ikf you want to play Tas mckenny not really I mean Tas is someone you can play but yeah I don't you mentioned o like he's he's got a ton of power obviously I mean those those numbers small sample are ridiculous he's got a higher ISO than a woba which is I always funny to me 5 48 ISO just 48 at bets right let's not lose our minds but that is that is he's been shellacking uh left-handed power for sure I did mention 69 game sample 23.9% bump in homers in that sample 86 degrees uh 69 is the D as well uh it's a it's a big do yeah um I I bet the over in this game last night in the middle of the night because uh I I saw the weather was popping and I didn't I don't really like you one of these these pictures a ton and how late what time of night was did you bet at three o'clock in the morning you stay up so what's when is that right before when do you fall asleep depending on like around 3:30 4 yeah I was watching I had to watch I was gonna go to sleep but like I couldn't go to sleep when I realize there's a Gary Coleman documentary on on peacock I had to watch that so that's what we did before friend of the show you know the friend of the show Jerry Barton you know one that in the secret chat and whatnot sure not not a he's he's not a he's not a defender of Roth he's the opposite he's the one who said eat my balls the chat that okay maybe not a render the show but go ahead continue yeah but uh he gets up at five o'clock he doesn't work right he doesn't have to get up for a job uh he gets up at 5: in the morning every single day that just blows my mind like that's I mean if you if you need to be up I get it does he have a dog that he has to has to walk he does have a dog but it's it's not because of that yeah craziness craziness but uh he's getting up when you're going to bed he's he's getting up then when do you wake up de when do you wake up typically uh 10 9:45 usually so you don't get much that much depends six hours what else do we need six hours is tough man Shannon in chat says uh Shannon gets up around 5 am as well is it for is it for work or just for for for pleasure just because you like this see the sun the sunrise and uh um all right I will be getting a really early Sundays by the way Sundays will we have an early show like 9:30 in the morning I believe the time is not officially even settled but of course when football Sun's kick in we're on for like four hours or so uh we do speaking of time we do get need to get a move on when it comes to uh these Stacks because we're a little bit behind on time of course crunch time they're coming in 15 20 minutes or so Roth Will Taylor whatever we don't get to we're gonna get to everything it's pretty pretty we're gonna Breeze right through this Oakland Texas we mentioned no seagar in that lineup John Gray uh pitch count concern so kind of hard to roster him I guess it's sort of built into to his salary Lawrence Butler uh three dongs yesterday that dude is good like I think he's actually like a really good player uh and a ood's like building around Butler and Rooker rooker's like 30 so I don't know how much longer he can keep doing it but maybe they'll have a good little team by the time they get to Vegas if that ever happens but but next year Sacramento you have a lot to look forward to Sears vers gray Oakland and Texas where do you have the Athletics and the Rangers Oakland is not hitting um they're also in a really tough um ballpark here no they're at home it's up yeah um I like Oakland better than I like Texas so give me Oakland um they're still not my favorite here but I put them in the Dolphins and I just have no interest I'm not going to say not going to put them in Patriots level but I I I wouldn't stop you from it but I'll put them in the Cowboys uh Texas uh um I'm Googling Jacob Wilson that name just snuck up on me uh yeah Jacob Wilson all right has he played I guess he has not played like he played in the kbo in 2019 I don't is he does he even have a salary is he 2K Jacob Wilson for Oakland but okay he's playing shortstop and there's an opportunity cost so I probably wouldn't get there but I want to see he's hit some homers in the miners but Lippy Lippy will tell us about Lippy will tell how much Jacob Wilson to play he's a big Oakland guy he can run him out for sure uh that name definitely threw me off but uh you got Oakland uh in dolphins and Texas hanging out with the Cowboys is that where we're at that's what I'm doing okay so Wilson has played at some point this year but uh I'm trying to find his stats and I don't really see a lot of it at least according to producer uh producer Steve has he played in the kbo this year or the majors this year like where has he played base fall um but uh I don't uh doesn't matter I'm getting we're getting sidetracked the Mets the Mets are in Chicago Mill the Tyler McGill variety taking on Jonathan Canon the Mets have a five and a half total Lindor n Mo Vientos polar bear Alonzo Winker JD Martinez mcneel Alvarez and Bader uh taking on Canon and that rough Bullpen uh big time favorites here minus 220 the Mets where do we have the Mets on the board and where do we have the white socks so you know Canon is like he does have some good games he's like hit or miss um but it never seems to last um so like when you watch him you think he's he could be pretty good um but the Mets are an obvious spot especially with that Bullpen so I'll put them right a tier below the Yanks and and Ravens and that's only because of ownership I if they were lower owned I would put them up top but they're going to get just because of pricing and spot they're going to get a lot of lot of ownership tonight and they they like they have a lot of guys who could could go have massive games here I mean I like the lineup Lindor ningo Vientos Alonzo you got the uh the florer batting fifth Winker they put JD down mcneel I think is a great play he never gets played enough in this like a spot like this he's he's batting seventh kind of off the P he's cheap I think he could go yard maybe maybe he'll be a jugle bomb tonight he's got a little bit more pop than he has in years past like typically he's like a Nicki Lopez type but a little bit better than that as far as power this year 167 ISO actually the same ISO as JD Martinez which is really surprising uh vers righties this season for what it's worth um so you threw the Mets in the the second tier and the white socks you put in produc I kind of like them I kind of like I like mill I like this is like Boomer bust like both sides right so I like that I like I like both of them theill I'm totally fine pitching in this spot but because of that because of the chalkiness and the The Leverage like I think get more mini stack maybe but uh the white socks they're cheap they like Robert's been hitting benett tendi has been coming to life a little bit Cory Lee is a cheap catcher with pop although he kind of stinks but uh can definitely get a hold of one he's got hom ability I'll f with him if he makes stuff worse big big guy he's like remember they kept B we didn't know like anything from Tyler Stevenson but the Reds would like continued to roll him out batting fourth like now we understand but like he was he just had huge guns it's like that's that's Lee right same same concept but Gavin freaking the sheets I mean that's that's what you're alleging well I don't speak from experience so I don't know I'm just saying the nickname I don't know if that's an official nickname either or we're throwing him in Cowboys I see that's where Steve has him I I think it's just some good leverage here so I think Dolphins but I'm fine dolphins are Cowboys I gotta I understand if if we think Migel is gonna be like 25% owned give or take chaneli is um yeah I'm not gonna fully stack Chicago I'm not gonna play Nikki Lopez I just I don't remember the last time I played Nikki Lopez i m i play him all the time unfortun I hate playing Nikki Lopez he's 2.3k I know well in second base sometimes can stink but he's actually a shortstop and short stop you know when he's shortstop and he's it's tough when you everyone else has Bobby Wht and you're sitting there with Nikki Lopez speaking of Bobby Wht uh the Royals The Royals are in Houston their team total was barely three 3.22 we mentioned earlier the absence of Vinnie pasquantino dunzo for the year framber Valdez taking on Seth Lugo Houston's Big Boy favorite here minus 180 oh speaking of shout out to you if nothing else we got closing line value you mentioned the twins earlier at minus 160 uh on on the Rock they're now minus 1990 you moved the needle there Kirkwood so we got to nothing else you might lose aile I got I have nothing on I have nothing on on myself yet I missed the number I give you the play I give you the winners on UFC like but you you know what you drafted you're drafted our fantasy team so it's a wash there you go scr look at this look at us look at us Sten we've we just become best friends we're also we're also incredibly Pizza compatible mushroom number one pizza for me is pepperoni mushroom okay yeah I can work with that I can work with that sure I mean pepperoni is the chalk but like mushroom's kind of a curveball for some people well I together I have them both together yeah no issues no issues we're compatible uh Casey and Houston where we throwing them on the board um man Lugo got rock like he have a bunch of hits but like typically he's like a guy you never want to pick on um Houston has danger you know so put put Houston in the Dolphins and uh man what do I do with the royals here uh cranbridge is too tough a lot of Leverage but yeah like throw them in the gutter are they really a gutter team though look at that lineup I mean you got s Perez you have Bobby Whit and what's the rest I mean there's upside so there's Whit Perez and dong has upside Mel get a homer yeah yeah you're right it's like just play Whitten and Perez if you're gonna even play but okay no I can't put Bobby Wht in the gutter I I'll put them in Cowboys but you can you can veto that and put him in Patriots I'm letting I'm I'm giving producer Steve a veto power so whatever Steve wants to do he's listening to the conversation he's got Kansas City in the Cowboys and we will move on uh what five more games to go about 10 minutes no crunch time comes in by the way shout out to dererk and chats I'm eating pepperony mushroom right now fried mushrooms I've never heard that before uh is that like a deep south thing you who fries mushrooms and throw them throws them on a pizza well I sauté them like you saut them you mean or you he said he said FR like he battered them I don't know I'm not sure we need more but this but he this this makes sense this is jugle on Nation here and he's got fine fine he's got a nice Reserve nice pette I imagine fried mushroom appetizer okay so wait oh wait so that's a ala cart he's got fried mushrooms he's doubling down in the mushrooms he's got like standard mushroom and pepperoni pizza with a side of fried mushroom oh eating pepperoni mushroom pizza with fried mushrooms I don't know or is the fried mushrooms on the pizza seems a little redundant but he whatever works for you enjoy yourself doubl down I like I like his style I like his style double down I respect it Mariners Angels uh we have this Angels guy that does not look very good but he is taking on the Mariners and the Mariners do strike out a ton the Mariners are really really cheap on FanDuel because FanDuel has like Dynamic pricing as far as they they're reactive to how good you've been and like jrod's been bad this year and Rosara has been kind of disappointing they're both like 3K 31 3K so they're pretty interesting over there of course big dumper KY righ uh and you can play him as a catcher on FanDuel catcher first base uh where do we have the Mariners the Angels taking on George Kirby I don't want to pick on George Kirby uh it's not a good lineup it's 10 games slate you tell me Mariners I can't get it sausage and mushrooms or some um someone's beatball pizza that's also my that's also my second like where that works for me too those are my top two pizzas um all right uh mushrooms the constant yeah which uh all right so I like Seattle tonight um they're getting healthier with Crawford back rod jrod he homework yesterday about time it yeah and they're also squirrel has taught us if you listen to squirrel they're much better uh on the road um you've got a Ros arena in there there's a little more pop now so I I like I'll put I'll put them in Ravens uh definitely can can fail but I have I have zero I'll put the Angels although Netto is a is a baller man he's going to be good um I will you throw them in the gutter it's okay I let's let's put them in the gutter yeah hanging out with your uh with your Patriots Pats need some company yeah um uh and you know who should it's only it's only right if Anthony R rone joins him down there so they're forcing him to play uh play play baseball today he's batting clean up and he's going to strike out three or four times um what are his numbers you I want to pull him up I want to make sure he hasn't done anything of before I speak more speak poorly of him but pretty sure it's been horrendous yeah a 59 ISO a 272 WBA it's a it's not good not great Bob uh he's walked a little bit 99.1% so there's there's something he's got he's been patient and kind of making contact 16.6% but obviously a certifiable disaster there for the Angels uh not just this year but many years going forward Dodgers taking on Arizona Zack Gallen does not the AC's been historically and we know the Dodgers are a tough offense to uh tangle with uh you know making my Rankings today I think I had gallon was like my eighth pitchers because I think pitching kind of falls out pretty quickly like I'm not prioritizing him kers I'm not prioritizing either uh you know Lefty in the mound so that means no Jack Peterson that means Corbin Carroll is gonna be buried in the lineup there for Arizona and the absence again the absence of Walker and catel Marte it just really really shines uh this Arizona lineup is just not what you want it to be the Dodgers I don't think we have a lineup just yet if it came out I missed it let's see um got the Mariners Crawford jrod Raleigh AR R roaa palanco Turner Moore Garver double catcher today and Roba is fting ninth no Dodgers lineup just yet maybe they're waiting on Freddy Freeman and his finger but uh you know he's been out of the lineup the last several nights I think we're currently projecting him in but we'll see stay tuned that would make life easier for gallon if he doesn't throw base if a Freeman's not playing but either way where do we have the Dodgers and the Dbacks on the board um middle at best for both of these teams interesting yeah just just respect Allen and you don't you don't want to put the Dodgers up the Ravens I respect G I mean I I I put them in Dolphins because there's all the there's always upside to the Dodgers you know they're just ridiculous lineup but um and then you got Kershaw on the other side although he's definitely more hit able and everyone kind of knows when he's pitching but I still think like he I still think he has like a few master classes in in him like so it wouldn't shock me if he M down this this lineup but um yeah so I would just have him in the middle you're not going to believe this but I skipped a couple teams I skipped course bad egg on my face Albert Suarez taking on Austin gommer you know the super super obvious a super chalky Baltimore oral so we're a six total taking on the Rockies now left-hander and gomber so we already talks about the pinch it alert uh when the righty comes in and I believe out of the bullpen Slater very much on pinch it alert Rivera mccan possibly you know rushman on that bench we have o'n on that bench we have Mullen on that bench where do we have Baltimore and Colorado on the board uh I think you got to have them both top tier I think there's going to be a lot of pissed off people at some point with with some pinch hitting pinch hitting stuff but you know it doesn't take much to get there for on on the the O side so I think you got to go both both right up top I I think I might even like the Rockies better really they stink though but like I feel like they're they're hitting right now you know they just had a nice series they don't have to move you know it's still there's no course hangover you know when they're if you believe in the nonsense like first game in cores so Baltimore that's what I'm saying this isn't the first game in cor yes I I Absol I have S ifal scientific data no this is their first game in course Baltimore no for them but not for Colorado oh I see okay for the home team I gotta yes okay you have the data yeah I have the data send the data in my DMs I want to see it all right um Steve asking in chat does Arizona ever open that roof anymore it's closed the rest of the weekend like they're not I mean unless they really hate their fans they rarely open the roof like why would they it's like 120 there give or take 110 105 dry heat uh all right two more games crunch time coming in soon hit that like button subscribe turn on notifications we want to get those jug bombs I'm going to throw Dean dongs in the chat uh get out of here what I love to see last night squirrel was like you said it's time for squirrels nuts or and he was like thrown he's like I'm always thrown off I I do the show how many times and I'm never ready yeah nobody's ever ready that's me like every single time are you ready for jug bombs or were you thrown off by me mentioning it right there I'm going to look now so I'm gonna be ahead of the curve tonight can you multitask and look let's go so yes so give this game what game give me on I mean this is pretty straightforward Marlins have a 2.55 team total no lineup Marlin at spoiler alert they're gonna be terrible I don't care how much I don't care how much Leverage What about yeah it's leverage man leverage and that's the thing like The Leverage is last start for Snell he was a total disaster how many hits did he give up zero doesn't mean he can't give he couldn't find his he couldn't find his release point it happens like it wasn't like he just was gone just he he couldn't he had no control but he was like Sai Sai Young Blake Snell right before that so I think you're gonna I think it's gonna be Sai Snell tonight I think he's gonna dominate I think so too but like it just seems like you're not supposed to have like a lock button situation here but like it's the nut the worst team yeah and I know we just I mean you're not going to see it twice in a row where he just blew up against the against the Seattle that match up by the way good segue here uh I don't mean to cut you off I know crun time's knocking on the door uh last game is Minnesota in Toronto Jeremiah Johnson in chat's telling us Royce Lewis four for four in his career versus Kevin Gman with two dongs if you care for such things like batter versus pitcher data gausman versus Lopez seven and a half total two respected pitchers you know not the greatest season by gausman standards Lopez still really solid uh where do we have gausman Lopez the Twins and the Blue Jays I mean this Blue Jays lineup is dog water put them down I you know what put them down at the bottom where they belong hang out with the hanging out with my Patriots um but uh so then uh I like Minnesota I I think they're going to get to Gosman tonight um I like this lineup I think yeah I gotta put him in Ravens Steve's right literally dog water um Kevin rooth wants to know what board we're looking at maybe I'll ask their thoughts this is teams that are most likely to win the big game Kevin Roth so come in if you're if you're fired up if you're a big Patriots fan or a big Cowboys Stan feel free to let me know what I got wrong but uh NFL season right around the corner one week less than one week right because Thursday uh we're getting NFL until the season kicks off so I figur we'd do a little bit of a NFL theme today um yeah let's just pull this board up kind of give the recap really quickly yeah there we go yeah hanging out with the Chiefs is the Yankees Baltimore Colorado the Ravens uh as symetrical we can get here as far as the board the Ravens Cleveland the Mets Houston Seattle the twins the Dolphins uh right there in the Middle with the A's the socks two teams that are rarely in the middle good for them for the Boost the Dodgers Arizona San did Sam Fran get in the middle did you say that did I hear that I never play Sam Fran but I no we didn't even we I didn't even say anything for do you want to override that that was producer Steve I guess we didn't get to that are you good with s Fran in the middle or you want to lower them you want I'm good I'm good in the middle all right keep it symmetrical Cowboys uh hanging out with the Cowboys St Louis Pittsburgh Texas Kansas City and the angels and we got the Patriots your Patriots with the Marlins and tjs blue jays that is the board give me now you're prepared you had time to look at the up and down as far as the potential options who are today's jug bombs if you say number one just if you say number one that means there has to be a second one coming just a heads up all right I am releasing the the number one Jugo bomb of the Year this is a j o JB o y jugle bomb of the year the the highest rated jugle bomb that's ever come this has to hit and you already stole my thunder Royce Lewis was it all day and uh you came in here with that bvp talk but uh which I don't I was just reading the comment in chat Jeremiah was pointing it out for us I know you're a big baby P truther Roy Royce Lewis and then we're also gonna go number two with uh that Noel guy on on Cleveland I think his nickname is like big Christmas or so somebody was telling me the other day in chat uh which I you have to be a Boer if that's your name I like him as well taking on Bailey falter we talk about the positive hitting environment in Cleveland today as well all right uh continue with that like button do not go anywhere because we have Chief and arist Kevin Roth we have Taylor we got will let's go ahead and uh let's bringing crunch time let's go let's do it Roth I was kind of enough they're not pick on your Giants I did not even board they did not go to the gutter that was the honor went to the Patriots you know Kirkwood's Patriots and I was kind enough will I did not think your Panthers so uh again you're only one team could be in the fifth spot yeah these like the three worst teams in the league represented here right Carolina the Giants and the Patriots it's a sad day a bad day Dog Water Dog Water I tell you what is the origin of dog water is that should I know the origin story of dog water do I want dog water it just it sits around like you know what I mean it's like the it's the last I know what it is yeah you get slobber and like depending on your dog you ever see like a lot of people have big dogs like that just slobber so you're like in the water you look down you see like a outline of slobber and uh that's dog Phil Phil's nice Phil keeps it clean but uh but I know in New York they sell dirty water dogs uh is that is that the same kind of water or is that different water no no no not that kind of dog water different kinds of dog water Taylor who's your team you've kind of bounced around right you have an official NFL team uh I grew up in Houston so I claim I claim the Texans proudly for the first time ever maybe year this a good good time to be you what a time what a year what a time were you young enough to be an Oilers fan I did go to one Oilers game they played Miami saw Dan Marina left at half Warren Moon you was this in the Astron it was in the Astrodome might have been Steve McNair back then I'm not sure that MC yeah yeah just watch the documentary on Netflix oh was it good it felt rushed like incomplete like it felt like they like it was like due you know how you have like a a book report and like like two hours and you haven't read the book just yet uh it was interesting but and it felt it kind of ended abruptly I would say it's worth watching but if to give a review I have to give a revieww I watched the Adam Sandler standup anyone watch that on Netflix no did not brand new it's brand new awesome ah good he's funny he's still funny he's always been funny even though he get some hate like I I like him um Dean can we can I complain about your ranking of where the Cowboys were sure I feel like that's too low that almost implies no sh they have the actual good quarterback like Dak is a legitimately good quarterback which half the teams in the n cannot claim that those are the I'm I'm I just recorded this so the next weather up here after theas I can't use this till after the season you got some time gonna be St away no Dak is like legitimately good I I don't think the Cowboys are you know out of it by any means so they probably have the worst running backs in the league possibly as a shunning I shouldn't start with that but you're right you're right running back don't matter I'm hearing Zeke is back I'm hearing this is the best Zeke has ever looked no it's not I can't believe they're still rolling him out there like what are we doing at this point uh it's nonsense they're gonna bring him in they'll bring him in at a two or three yard line he'll get his touchdown he'll go hop in the you know uh Salvation Army Kettle he'll go back to the bench it's very simple it's very simple uh but listen so so seriously though like they Zeke Zeke did grade out pretty well in his pass protection like for what it's worth like as much as you want to like drag him like his pass protection was graded pretty well um so that may that may in fact help them we'll see how pumped is everybody for football like this is I'm I bet I bet on North Carolina last night I won by a missed field goal I was like yes this is now we're we're in we're in football mode like yeah I referen that earlier I got to pick from Shout scores and odds that they had North Carolina and they had the under so we had both in that game uh but but the answer your question Roth is I think quarterbacks aside quarterbacks aside like I think lamb if you think of one player on one team that would hurt his team the most if he got injured Dallas has such a lack of depth if you if lamb something happened to lamb we're looking at like Brandon Cooks as the one uh I just I think the the whole offense mights is two seasons away from a thousand yard season he went to the and Di but like if he wasn't there he probably would have had another like but pro has been concussions it hasn't been production concussions was his issue I uh I just think that like I'm trying to think of skill position players just any player in general has to be dust no he's dust who's this Cooks has to be dust now no I think he's Dusty yeah I've been drafting a little bit in baskball just because of opportunity he's going to be on field but uh I'm not really convinced he has much left at this point and again their their depth after lamb we're talking about uh like Jaylen tolber is their will be their wide receiver too I suppose I think Ferguson Spa is a tight end but I just think that their offense will take a significant hit so and also I thought it' be fun Roth just to troll the people like Dallas that's fair that was the part of I was just trolling Dallas fans really but I do think they're they have a it can get really really bad if something happens to lamb but I do agree with you I think Dak is better than some people give him credit for but uh anything else most quarterback I I don't know why we drag Dak so much because he's because he's in a Dallas Cowboys uniform I I'll put it to you like this if Dak played for what's your favorite team Dean I don't have one so it's perfect I have no biases yeah but I mean most teams in the NFL would take daak over most quarterbacks yeah like but be because he plays for the Cowboys and they win 10 to 12 games a year and don't close the deal like we're we're writing him off or or you know totally overlooking his real ability like we just can't do that yeah Russell Wilson has a job with the Steelers you don't think they prefer that Prescott over Russell Wilson like come on now that's not de why don't you have the the Dolphins why don't you just claim them I grew up disliking the Dolphins for whatever reason growing up in South Florida I was I asked Taylor I was a Houston ERS fan as a child I love watching Houston I liked Warren Moon I liked the run and shoot I thought they were a lot of fun little Haywood Jeff little Curtis Curtis Duncan little Ernest given Little Ray Chris we'll stop it right there Alonzo heith but uh yeah B McDow just a fun team to watch I enjoy their uniforms are spectacular I don't know if Tennessee is going to keep rolling out those old Houston powder blues but they are amazing they should keep wearing those going forward they were they wore the the Throwbacks they should not be the one that gets to wear them like I get that they're the Oilers but it's kind of a crime that's the dispute Tennessee I was F fact I was a Bengals fan a as a kid I love the icky shuffle and all all that not fun F maybe not fun all right we're out jugle nation has to get Yahoo Yahoo line Nation stand up in 12 minutes let's get out of here Roth take it away Happ chief chief take it away jug Nation Chief jug Nation stand up represent the passing the torch from from one jug to another what's up guys welcome to it uh it is crunch time you know the drill to the sharpest Minds in AB Biz and yes I oh that's nice right there there it is and yes I see you in chat saying Dak sucks because he's not clutch I don't even think that's true he he does have a history of that happening but I think that's just luck I think that's the way things shake out like I don't think he is necessarily not clutch many people would argue clutch is not even a thing Taylor is he not clutch do you do you disagree with me I don't think clutch is really a thing so I'm in that camp wait you're with me or you're against me um I didn't hear your take I just said that I don't think clutch is really a thing so that's essentially what I was saying yeah that's that's basically what I was saying he's he's just that's the way the cookie crumbles that's how it's been um how many Super Bowls you got okay hey we gotta move on we got to talk baseball but that's my final take on uh on on the cowgirls uh we got Chief in the house what up Chief how are you man doing good man I'm actually going to watch my son play some football after this show so it's it's it's a good time to be alive great you said you said last week if he got like three sacks he could be wide something he can play running back he only got one he got one up you gotta get three and they'll let him play running back does the deal still stand if he gets three sacks any because they know he can't yeah yeah I like it and then very good we got Taylor in the house as well Taylor how are you I'm well um going on vacation tomorrow so I'm excited to dip for a week and uh should go out with a bang tonight you gonna share the location with us or no uh I'm going to Colorado to escape the heat for seven days should be nice nice that sounds lovely enjoy um and don't talk to me about the heat you're in freaking what oh did it get 85 today you're from houon yeah don't talk to me about heat you're from where I'm at right now you know what heat is Bud yeah uh hey let's let's dive into this slate weatherwise I don't think there's a single spot where you should do anything other than what you were already planning on doing that doesn't mean there's not a few spots where you could see a delay but I think the overall probability of seeing the delay is so low that you just do whatever you're planning on doing maybe the only exception to that is uh and the games that start soon which are not on the Slate if you're thinking about a pitcher in Detroit that's maybe the only exception to do whatever you want um and that's it I'm I'm out of the way with weather now and uh we'll just kind of dive into the Slate Taylor if you wouldn't mind leading me off talking about play whatever you want uh that was that was high up there I I went above blender's pitch uh Taylor what are we doing here pitcher wise what do you like yeah so we have a very obvious um Blake Snell situation at home against Miami um I know the Blake snow rule is kind of like the Robbie Ray rule where you fade him if he's chalk and play him if he's not on this slate he's going to be chalk and I'm going to play him and I think most people will it's just hard to get from him in this spot it's the worst probably the worst off in the league so he's not that expensive really either so I'm just doing it even in tournaments beyond that it's not that clear there are quite a few good pitchers in sub optimal matchups and a mediocre pitcher in a good matchup the mediocre pitcher in a good spot is Trevor or Tyler Mill um for the Mets going against the white socks I think he's probably your SP2 on DK if playing cash but there are a few others kind of in the more expensive mid-range that you can play in tournaments Fran Valdez being the one most on my radar I think Pablo Lopez is going to be somewhat popular against Toronto and go maybe to in the same game against Minnesota George Kirby also against the Angels is probably worth a look because it's a good spot even though uh even though they're getting a part downgrade um that's really it I think you can play John inter on heed to around 70 pitches um only threw two innings in his last game but uh I think that's probably because he got rocked he threw like 50 something pitches so should be okay to throw a little more than that assuming he doesn't get nuked and they're playing Oakland at home so it's a good spot but it's still in a tier of his own and then several other guys you can throw into tier two okay uh Chief are you going Snell and Migel is that what you do in tournaments and you just kind of play the good dudes or no you got other plans listen I I got a real type pool tonight um I don't have anybody under JP seers I just I just I wasn't I'm not comfortable with this pitching slate as a whole so I've got plenty of snow some Kirby uh probably a much larg amount larger amount of Valdez than the field looks like The Field's gonna be around 30% I'm gon be pushing about 40 on Valdez um have been Lively I'm I don't particularly like Ben Lively but I just think this match up with Pittsburgh could he he could reveal some upside here uh a pretty a pretty ISO team uh with with some strikeout upside now once again I don't think he gets out of this game clean but I think he can get through six today I did write him up on scores and odds he's he's gone six Innings and I think three the last five and some some of those were against good teams I'm just I'm really just hoping for babot to be in my favor on this one raw like I don't think live Liv Lively is Elite but I do think this is a good spot for him against a a weak Tigers lineup generally speaking um you know I've got some J pcers just in case you know he's back to pitching Well he kind of had a blip on the radar he he had a really good stretch there uh and then kind of got shellacked his last outing um Texas hasn't been as good against lefties overall this season um so I'm hoping um that we can take advantage of that and then you know the the Arizona lineup is just a little bit more watered down Kershaw Kershaw's pitches have been picking up so maybe Kershaw gets to 90 pitches tonight he's 8,500 but most of my exposure raw Snell Kirby Valdez that and that's all my pitch I'm not playing Lugo I'm not playing Gman I'm not playing uh what about Miguel Migel he's got he's got four tags he's damn near got the rainbow Chief he's seven4 he's projected for 15 points what do you what don't you some sometimes I sometimes I end up on these islands by myself and that's the beauty of DFS I don't have to see it how everybody else sees it and while I understand this this spot against the white socks is you know should be good I just don't like Tyler Mill I mean he's got some strikeout stuff here and yeah he probably will pick up some strikeouts off but I mean he's given up a fair amount of hard contact overall like you know it's not like he's got some Elite ground ball rate I just and then over the past 30 days the iso is was picked up to lefties I just and small stample size I know but I just I don't trust Tyler McGill here I don't I don't think he's as good of a play as everybody else does and I'll just have to down that hill by myself tonight hey there's nothing wrong with that like you said that is the beauty of DFS as you get to stand there and say this is my take and I'm sticking to it uh real quick let's talk about FanDuel just in case there's any significant pricing differences there Chief as you look at FanDuel uh is there a clear cash play or a tournament guy that you love well I mean in in terms of tournaments I'm still of the mindset that even though he's very expensive Blake Snell is the guy like facing Miami it's just so much strikeout upside now you're talking about going out so if I had to choose between Snell and Valdez obviously I'm gonna go Snell tonight for 200 more on FanDuel one pitcher site not still see situation not playing Lopez uh not playing Gman not playing Lugo I do think Kirby is very interesting on FanDuel for 9,400 um but yeah I I'm not I'm not really playing anybody cheap Kershaw well I guess Kershaw's considered cheap at 7,700 um you know Lively's 81 but like if I'm on FanDuel I think Snell I think Valdez I think Kirby and I just let it ride from from there yeah Taylor any other thoughts there as you look at by the way Freeman is in for what it's worth that's what the fww means uh Taylor as you look at FanDuel is there like a clear this is the cash option or any hot tournament takes that you have it's definitely snail still he's pricey but the spot's too good to ignore if you want to go all the way down turn I do think you can John Gray over here at 64 because he's almost as cheap as you can get on for and it's an okay enough spot uh definitely only a tournament thing that cash now and you move right along okay well then let's move right along ourselves and talk about some of the bats and the stacks and chief you get to lead us off in that department my man what do you stacking up so you know I mentioned I wasn't playing galman wasn't playing Lopez I have a lot more interest in the twins offense than I do the Blue Jays though for what it's worth um I just think you know I just think Lopez is upside is limited and I think the Blue Jays upside is limited I think the Minnesota Twins upside is unlimited when it comes to Kevin G but strikeout rate hasn't been anything near where it's been and the twins have been you know one of the teams I've stacked all season they continue to stay cheat Roth they continue to hit for power and people just don't play them and they score 10 runs every day 10 runs every day is an exaggeration but they I think they've scored double digit runs more than anybody else in Major League Baseball you can look that up to make sure I am correct but I'm pretty sure I'm right on that that uh I have some interest uh in in the Mets obviously I do feel like pors is going to get a lot of ownership tonight as they should but I do I do think the Mets here against Canon are are really interested I think they've got enough balance between cheap bats and expensive bats uh to make this really work also like the Guardians against falter um you know kind of off the beaten path I don't think people will play them tonight but I like them and I'm shocked that the Yankees aren't getting as much ownership as I thought they would against fetty here um probably because they're maybe feel a little overpriced in a couple um a couple uh a couple spots but judge is expensive on draft cakes and I get it I'm I'm not thrilled about Judge tonight but stto Torres Wells you know VY any of these other guys I'm in um and those are some of my main Stacks that that I'm playing tonight so just to sum that up uh Minnesota one of my favorite price with upside uh I do like Houston love the Mets in terms of possible spin UPS love the Guardians off the beating pad nobody wants to play them against falter and then like the Giants not Giants yankes excuse me against fetty okay good stuff Taylor I want to bring you in h i kind of assumed Baltimore would be the chalk because they're in Colorado for sure yeah they're the chalk and they're good they're the chalk okay uh Taylor what else do you like outside of maybe Baltimore if you like them or maybe they're maybe you don't I do I mean I like them but there is some risk with some of them they're facing a lefty and they do have a few righties in the L that could turn into lefties later in the game so I'm a little bit nervous about someone like ELO Jimenez or Emanuel Rivera or James M or Austin Slater I meant to say at the top of the lineup they should be pretty popular because they're cheap those three in particular so I'll still them in they're probably go own the risk they have I think the other chalk team is going to be the Mets in Chicago against Jonathan Cannon no problem with that kon's been really bad particularly against lefties he's been a bit a bit more respectable against righties so Mets lefties Lindor nmo um Jesse winers in the lineup I think they look good and then I think the third team that could be popular maybe less so is Seattle going into Anaheim to face Al de Gary a rookie making his debut uh he's a lefty it's a good Park upgrade for them um pretty good righty power now between a rosar r Cal J palanco uh Justin Turner even I don't mind H haninger as a chap either a team I'm getting to a lot I mention gray being playable because he's cheap but Oakland going against him they get a park upgrade going into Texas they're also affordable they have decent power up grades just really been not great all Oakland has a lower owned stack I think looks interesting and I'm getting to sum Toronto against Lopez because they're pretty cheap also don't love it um I think they were a dog water stack on the last show but for the salaries and for some uh leverage against Lopez I think they're okay okay uh gentlemen I think it's time to go position by position and walk through what we're seeing let's start with with catcher and Taylor you can lead us off in that yeah so we don't have adley Rutman for Baltimore it's James man instead I think he's okay as a punt um big dumper obviously GNA be great for Seattle Shay L leer a classic favorite at the catcher spot also standing out to me on this slate otherwise it's kind of just guys in Stacks Alandra perk um Patrick Bailey I didn't mention the Giants but they are in an okay spot inoc Park um yeah grandall I think the Pirates are a little bit okay as a cheap set going into Cleveland and then Logan Oh hoppy kind of just a one-off against Kirby okay chief any names you want to add there a catcher uh I do like Alvarez quite a bit I know he's in an eight hole but I like him uh Austin Hedges like look man it's it's a nine hole Ro he's 2K I 2K 2K catcher signed me up so uh really like him want to throw his throw those couple names in there okay how about first base yeah first base is gonna be really interesting tonight because you got Otani up here also and I don't feel like we can do a show without mentioning Otani if he's on the Slate Roth he's 7K judge is 7200 we're paying pitcher prices for hitters I can't do it so I'm not playing Otani um today at 7K although I think I just want to mention that because I thought that was an important Point obviously Peter Lonzo at 5K fine Josh Naya Lefty Lefty once again I I don't think these Cleveland guys are getting much ownership but at 4700 I I am perfectly fine uh running Josh n and I'm trying not to go like information overload but like n still still has a 19% k r 168 ISO against left-handed pitching raw so it's not like he's falling off of a cliff you know uh facing a lefty I mean he's better against righties but against lefties he's still making good contact still has enough power so really like him I'm gonna mention Alec burles I know you can get him in the Outfield you can get him at first base as well but I think some of these you know lefties against strowman will be fine also you can also get JD Martinez at first base or outfield I'd probably run him Outfield because you can only get Alonzo at uh first base but he's there so I want to mention him Ben rice obviously I know he's B eighth but I like the Yankees against fetty uh I'm I'm fine with goldi I didn't mention St Louis in terms of some of my main stats but I do think it's an alternate stat ra meaning four or less bats for me that's my alternate stats I think you can play some of these guys I think they're just a little bit too cheap for a good hitting spot uh versus strowman and then David fry I really hate that we don't have multi-position eligibility on him I think I play fry over Naylor tonight if I had to straight up Roth because you're getting so much savings but I also once again just want to mention Naylor is fine against lefties you don't have to leave him out okay uh also you mentioned Otani I need to take my Victory lap when it was Otani bobblehead night which was maybe yesterday maybe the day before I said a blast he's hitting a home run and he's swiping a bag and he hit a home run and I think he had two steals that night that doesn't do anything for us tonight I just wanted to brag about it that's all Taylor you're up first base what are you doing I saw that some of those Otani bobles were going on eBay for like 20 th000 the other night I see I want to see what they're actually selling for I mean yeah yeah I saw people were lining up at like 4 in the morning to make sure they were there which is pretty incredible yeah um largely agree with Chief a few cheapies I kind of like are Seth Brown for Oakland and Justin Turner for Seattle the most even though Canon like I said has been better against righties uh lad is kind of the one blue jay you feel okay about uh pricey but he's been good for quite a while now Spencer Horowitz you can also play here probably playing him at second if you want to play him at all uh Dodgers are a little interesting Beyond Freeman I mean Beyond Otani there is Freeman in the lineup like we said and I think Andrew vaugh is an okay punt Chicago against Miguel um not a fun stack they're cheap so it's useful okay take me to second base second base base um another blue J Will Wagner still cheap um decent lineup spot for him Lefty against Lopez think is fine even has a oneoff um Jeff McNeil looks like the Chuck here has Lefty against Canon he's cheap second base Outfield eligible I think he's better at second Forge palanco I mentioned Seattle he stands out here a bit Simeon Texas against Sears the righty Sears has always been a homeown flyball Lefty so Texas righty Simon Garcia guys like that are going to look pretty good he's pricey but not a great position and then I think Gavin Lux as one of the few affordable Dodgers is playable kind of as a pivot away from what should be a more popular Jackson holiday okay chief nodding an agreement on many of those plays uh what are your thoughts there at second Chief yeah I love those calls and let me just say Rob I want to clear this up so that way I don't have to get these questions as we progress through I'm not really talking about Baltimore more Colorado people because they're in course and I feel like those are like obvious plays if you want to right they're fine um so that's why I'm just don't if you don't hear me not mentioning that guys that's why like clear and obvious stuff all right um I am gonna mention Donovan I know I'm talked about St Louis in the previous on first base but I also think on second base as well Donovan at 3600 batting cleanup and the Four Hole tonight uh I think that could that could really work out well Liber Torres leading off against fatty at 4,400 I think that's a great play also and then last but not least uh Jeff mcneel B in the seventh spot but I do think that the uh the Mets are a good stack tonight and so even though he's in that seven hole I think he have some opportunities for some guys to be on base ahead of him and he should be able to drive in some runs so like him also okay how about Third Base Chief yeah Jose Ramirez is at the top and I think he's at the top for a reason once again I do really like Cleveland tonight against Bailey uh falter he's not quite 7K rothy 6,500 that $500 goes a long way when you're trying to build quality lineups so I definitely want to play him I've heard to talk about Royce Lewis and his bvp against Gman possibly uh I'm just playing Ross Royce Lewis because I like the Minnesota Twins tonight so he's another big spin as we get down to the middle here or or under 5K rather Mark Vientos batting third he's been really good just cruising and pretty much churning out fantasy points feels like every slate uh really like him uh you've got Miranda here at 4K you know if you want to play him at third he's bat in the six hole um you've got uh Nolan ronado at 3900 once again I haven't heard a lot of people mention this St Louis but 3900 I talked about them being an alternate stat you can get a bunch of three and four man for less than 12K in salary rth you can pile up on the three C backs on the opposite side of those expensive ones that's why I keep mentioning St Louis I just think they're a perfect stat uh to get that done tonight and I will close it out there okay good spot to close it out Taylor your thoughts at third uh so the Orioles have two guys so you can play Ramon uras and Emanuel Rivera I think uras would be the one I'd be more comfortable playing I feel like he's less likely to get pinch hit for and he's the more expensive of the two so if more people are flocking to Rivera I think oras is just a straight up better play not that he's going to be under the radar either for what it's worth um love the Vientos call um Josh Young someone dangers righties he fits the category um Le always wor shout even if you're not stacking Minnesota and Dylan Moore I think is okay one of those Seattle righties against the Angels uh rookie Lefty okay good stuff how about short stop short stop so I think Lindor is going to be the chalk I think it's pretty good chalk gunar Henderson almost 7K Lefty Lefty that might keep his ownership down a little bit in Coors uh Dylan Moore you can also play here mention him at third JP Crawford another Lefty Lefty Short Stop leading off for Seattle I think that's fine I don't think the rookie going to pitch super deep into the game anyway um Tommy Ed was like major chalk last night I don't think it's going to be do tonight switch hitter for La multi-position eligibility um he's cheap Outfield shortstop don't mind that kind of like O'Neal Cruz against Ben Lively in that Cleveland game with and Leo Jimenez is cheap uh blue jay at this position so guess I'll mention him too okay chief your thoughts at Short I see that and I rais you kind sir I will throw in uh Willie Castro and win um those are two guys in the mid-range that I really like uh you know I just once's I think these are better spots uh than what it looks like on paper for these guys and so I am in also gonna mention Jeremy payia Too part of if you're if you end up playing some Houston uh you know I I just think lug go isn't gonna have enough strikeout stuff for this team I think they get the bat on the ball and score some runs here okay go to the Outfield yeah my favorite outfielder Juan stos 5600 um I think this is a great spot for him to just continue to churn fantasy points and I feel like Soo always gets it done when nobody's on him like tonight Ross I think we've got a project for around 5% somewhere up in there this is the night two home runs two stolen bases and hits for the cycle I'm kidding that that he would need like 40 at bats for that but I do think like this this I think it's a good spot for him uh hot take juo hits a home run his first at bat not first pitch first at bat that's my hot take uh for the night I'm going to go down here so mooki to me is interesting I'm I'm covering the highend guys mook's interesed at 6K because I feel like people just aren't going to play the Dodgers as much tonight and I'm not either but I think mook's got this type of upside like the otanis like the stos where he could hit hit you know get a single steal a base somebody drives from home and then replicate that over the course of two or three more EVS so I'm always interested in mooki do you think Yon alvare has a shot at hitting a home run tonight as well as we get down to the middle here I talked about Cleveland I will be playing some stepen Quan just because I think nobody's playing Cleveland tonight and I just I think it's a good spot for them I mentioned JD Martinez at first you can also get him an outfield I definitely think you play him more in the Outfield uh Brandon Nemo here batting at two- hole 4200 I think it's a great spot for him JJ blade against uh against John Gray at 4200 batting the three hole I think it's a good spot for him you got but leading off at 4K you got VAR leading off against Lopez um you've got Lane Thomas batting the two hole against falter uh love his spot love this spot for him also Jesse Winker in the five hole for 3,400 once again a lot of these guys are going to be in my stacks but I just think this is a good spot Lars nbar sticks hole 3,200 you see my you get my point here ra there's so many mid to lower outfielders tonight which is why I'm so which is why I'm not cheating on pitching I know we're not talking about but this is why I'm not cheating there too many three and 4K guys that are just quality spots that you can play and have really good lineups okay makes a lot of sense Taylor your thoughts in the Outfield yeah Chief stole my thunder with uh those Mets and those a and pretty much everybody else but uh I'll mention cheap though right Taylor they're just too cheap they are yeah Oakland the Mets and you got those cheap Orioles if you want also um the Rangers like I saidas Garcia Robbie good advantage against Lefty there um the SE bats so Rosara Julio Rodriguez and Victor robbles stand out I think Luis Robert is an okay oneoff if you don't want to Stack the white socks I don't blame you at all and then the r msky are okay never love that stack for the lack of power especially at home but on this slate I'm getting to them a little bit okay oh I meant to mention one more thing in Outfield I'm so sorry please forgive me the Minnesota Twins outfielders are also in our cheap bucket they're I mean they're all of them I think are 3K in that 3K range just fantastic price Okay add it to the list uh guys we have uh I don't know is it 10 or or 15 minutes here until lock I will look that up in the meantime I yeah Le than 10 less than 10 minutes shout out to the Yankees for keeping that five after start time love that uh let's discuss what we're doing here the people want some bomb calls that is their favorite thing and chief you are a bomb Giver so take a moment think about some bombs in the meantime everybody out there sign up for Rogers premium NFL premium for the season is now available non-premium users can get $100 off

of the way some home run calls Chief you got Soto I know you got Soto going yard yes you already knew that so number one in that same in that same game going Alec burles in that same game uh as we head out to hold on I had yes head to Cleveland we've got David Fry on the cheap in Jose Ramirez on the top end okay Jose Ramirez on the top end and then as we head out to Minnesota I I know everybody loves Roy Lewis here and this guy is probably going to strike out once or twice but Matt walner is sitting here with a 345 ISO against Kevin Gman and I just that's too much power to pass up and I'm sure his odds are probably fairly good on the Sportsbook if you can get him so Matt walner May strike out twice but I think a home run could be in the air wow five bomb calls and Eric Johnson at the same time said Matt walner to Homer just as you were saying it so there and I saw Taylor smile a little bit as you were bringing him up perhaps he was on Taylor's list as well yeah he was yay thought there but obviously not um yeah so I gotta pivot I think I'll take O'Neal Cruz on the high end um let's see look for Rando Josh Young I mentioned being on him a little bit I think that's a good spot for him and then going down a bit further let's John could you say that one one more time me uh John Kenzie Noel for Cleveland there you go okay uh let's see what else we've got jumping in the Discord by the way if you have not hit uh oh yeah get that get that Friday smile going uh if you haven't hit the thumbs up for us please do that's we're trying to keep the show free we want to reach the masses we want to get millions of viewers a night and we can't do that unless you hit the thumbs up button for us so make sure you are uh hitting our thumbs up in the meantime the question is tonight is it the gaus man pitching or the gaus can uh Taylor gausman or gaus can you get what he's saying I hope it's the gaus man because I have a bit more of him than I do of the twins but I don't feel very good about it okay that's fair Chief I'm coming to you from dck he says DK gpp fry Lively that sounds pretty good or Naylor McGill that that doesn't sound bad either it's gonna be fried Lively for me I don't like Miguel so I'm the wrong person to ask but also the right person to ask I'm the only person that's gonna tell you Noah Mill today it seems true okay we'll go to DT's question which is uh Chief right back to you here FanDuel single entry Noel or burles I like them both Noel's been great I'm going Burl because I think he it's a home run okay am I yelling am I unnecessarily projecting can I just am I yelling Taylor no I think you sound fantastic thanks you sound like [ __ ] because your mic sucks but that's okay uh we we can still hear you uh DK gpp Taylor you want Santana Lewis or Freeman Betts uh Freeman bets okay uh what else do we have FanDuel cash Taylor from NBA DFS mcneel or B Rogers um sorry oh my bad sorry Taylor Sorry Taylor no I think it is I think it is mcnail okay uh let's go over to Chief what else do we have here uh jib says FanDuel last man in my boy a r roara or Julio Chief buddy um a Ros Arena okay lower strike I like that shout out to Musa who says it's nice to not get extorted for likes for a change big like coming your way you know you do what you got to do some I just ask kindly sometimes sometimes I threaten you and say h the show will not go on if we don't get likes sometimes we we promise you little treats like a home run we mix it up you never know you never know which route we're gonna get but usually the Spidey bombs do get uh do get a lot of likes so no no hate on asking for likes uh and giving out plays for them uh what else do we have favorite catcher uh Taylor's mic is already on vacation Team sets uh it might be his internet I don't it's not honestly Taylor it's not too bad just so you're aw I'm just giving you a hard time favorite too but yeah uh you think it's mine is that what you said no mine see mine sucks so much you couldn't even hear that so yeah yeah that's pretty much What's happen uh razzled Dazzle says favorite catcher DK single entry Taylor 3,400 or less is it bangers is he 3,400 or less he is not um I think it's Kirk for me okay Eric Johnson says Cal Raleigh favorite catcher oh yeah well duh big dumper is always our favorite catcher uh let's see Taylor back to you here I'm playing three lineups in a DK large field tournament I have Adam Aller in all three lineups am I basically lighting my entry fees on fire yeah I don't really see the need to be all in on Adam Aller so perhaps reconsider okay you can keep some Aller just maybe not all the Aller it's one maybe one yeah okay may maybe one Aller uh FanDuel single entry Chief this one's for you uh I've got jrod and Randy Ros Ena in the Outfield along with Otani as a one-off I I really like walner who would you replace him with because I also have twins in this lineup to complete a stack did you understand that it broke my mind are we trying to replace walner I think you're trying I think he's trying to put walner in instead of one of jrod Randy or Otani they got jrod I mean honestly take out Otani and then you can you might be able to upgrade to another big bat somewhere else but that that's I would do if that if that's what you're saying yep okay we're less than a minute until lock guys make sure you get those lineups in uh better mini stack and a FanDuel single entry Chief Cleveland or Oak Oaktown oh man that was tough for me I'm a little bit higher on Cleveland than I am Oakland but I do think Greg giv his face punched in because I don't think he goes deep enough into the game but I'm I'm gonna go Cleveland against Falon Fon okay all right uh Taylor we've got seconds until lock how comfortable would you be sir FanDuel single entry going with Sears as your pitcher not comfortable at all but you know he's not bad it's just the Slate is not ideal for that Anor six walner before the lock yeah all right there you go you got Chief's call there uh would you full stack Taylor or mini stack the Yankees I mean full stack sounds good I personally don't have them enough and it's horrifying but yeah stack them if you want okay chief Noel or walner walner walls balls baby uh if you had in a DK gpp Chief Canon or falter falter is that a dude falter can yeah okay if you had to he oh to be fair he said if you had to oh God Canon find somebody who else is close like I I I'd almost rather play the the Orioles picture than any either of those guys I know and that sounds crazy but I really would yeah okay Taylor Taylor's on Canon if you have to choose one of those two dudes so there you have it I guess I didn't answer the question at all sorry that's okay I mean between the two of you you know we we express we don't like either one and if you had to you know I feel like we we got it done um hey good stuff guys as always Chief Taylor excellent work uh Taylor have a wonderful vacation in
