Texas Rangers vs Chicago White Sox (8-27-24) MLB Game Predictions, Picks and Best Bets

[Music] 91798 Andrew Heeney and the Rangers at minus 140 Garrett crochet and the white socks at plus 125 total of8 and a half minus 120 some juice to the over and a little bit uh look you're getting plus 100 uh on the under there Corby what are we doing with this one crochet did look good in the last game sort of you know silence some of those questions are we going to get five innings of crochet two innings of crochet is he motivated anymore what the hell are we doing with this one now we've got Andrew he look I was close to take of the white sock as an underdog I just think the last game we're going to talk about I've got a much much better Underdog today uh I can't wait for the underdog today I think it's a steal but what are we doing here Heeney versus crochet Rangers white sock Corby yeah this one's tough at current number um I bet the over eight and a half minus one I think we're going to get 15 for the show maybe 20 hopefully they give me the best price there um because this was eight last night I bet the over eight last night and I think eight was a steal cannot believe it opened eight I made this 87 so getting a little juice on eight and a half is a little scary but the main thing here um crochet we do know is going to be on some kind of uh well let me pull this up we know he's going to be on some kind of limit uh we've seen four Innings four Innings 2.1 434 uh at eight at flat eight this just feels like a Garett crochet six inning pitch type of number like we saw him seven and a halfs basically all year and it's kind of obvious like that's not going to happen now do I think crochet is bad no I don't but I think if you can get six Innings of the yarks bullpen that's not a good spot to be on the other side strangers team just has a good lineup Andrew Heeney in theory is a good pitcher 30% strikeout rate versus this team a 152 average I just from the eyeball test I'd be curious what Bas Runner makes him in his um pitcher like I I can't imagine he's very high above average if like I I know even with regarding the strikeout like I just don't know I watching he Heeney pitch I don't think he's that good I think the White Sox have a chance to put up run so I took the over eight and a half um I think we got minus 120 but uh the juice is very quickly going up when it hits nine I can't get to a nine with a white sock team on the field I'm not sure how they produce uh very many runs to help you out here yeah if you want to get this eight because I I agree with you I think it looks like this is trending towards going to nine so if you like this eight and a half I would do it now bdub what does the base winner model say about Andrew Heeney cuz I'm one of those guys when I see Heeney I'm looking to fade the Rangers I don't think Andrew heene is very good at all so do the white socks actually have like a starting pitching first five Advantage here possibly they do but I I I don't think Haney's an interesting guy because he scores fairly well for the most part uh over his career with with the strikeouts and the walks and and I he was up uh you know better better than average earlier in the year now he's about an average pitcher but uh and again it goes back to like maybe there's you know you're trying to when when you're building these these macro models you're trying to use the stats that correlate the best for the whole model but sometimes they break down with a guy like this who is on the other on the side of um hard hit per Nine's high and usually his home run percentage is high so is that a skill is it not a skill well he's it's it's about League average uh the last 3 65 days his home runs allowed uh my my whole concern with this game is like who the hell cares and what what are they going to do like I mean do does do any of these teams like have any any motivation at all I I don't I think that it becomes somewhat of a spring training game where maybe you're trying to you know platoon guys roll them in and out and crochet by the numbers is great he's the second best pitcher if you look at the way that I rate pitcher you got a 92 percentile strike out percentage he's in the BBK at 09 which is super Elite hard hit per n's in The 91st percen so he definitely has the skills how long is he going to pitch I don't know then you have to you have to Ru the dice basically if you're going to play the White Sox with the White Sox bullpen this might be one of those things and you know we've talked about this and I think it was Ed earlier in in the season that pointed this out uh you know because we have the double result arguably maybe even not arguably the double result King of the baseball betting world World sitting in the center of the screen and so so we talk about double results all the time and uh and he said this is early in the year well why don't you play the white socks uh first five and then the other team to win the game and if you had done that uh just blanket betting throughout the year starting on day one you'd be up 57 units just doing that maybe this is an opportunity no I did the math today for a friend and uh and that's what it is and uh so maybe that's another opportunity here to do that Kyle I'm kind of bummed out we should have just been doing that adding that can you imagine just adding a free 57 Unis just doing that every single day it just sucks too with stuff like that because it's pointed out and it's like well maybe you could just put a little bit of your bankroll on something like that like just like blanket betting excuse me uh blanket betting against the the the Rockies on the road I mean that's something that that you would just profit over the last three years doing you know it's wild that's wild I will say if I mean if you want to do it today is a very good price like white sock first five Rangers full game eight and a half to one the white sock are minus 05 in the first five like that's not really ask I like just quick math I'm probably wrong here but I think that that should be like closer to six and a half to one so uh getting eight and a half Not a Bad Bet uh can I give a shout out to Shawn Martin for the most random comment just all of a sudden like 20 minutes later he comments LeBron is a communist a rich communist now I will say I don't think I have this argument with people quite a bit I don't think Americans actually know what communism really means I don't think they have any idea what communism is because they have this like really distorted backwards inbred view of what communism actually is uh so I would I would encourage people if you're throwing the word communism around you should look it up understand it first and then understand its Origins before you know maybe accusing some of these he would seem to me more of a I'm just just off the top of my head he would seem to me more of a capitalist because he's got capitalist for sure yeah because he's got all these industries that he's involved in and stuff and so um people people are starting to not like capitalists in this in this country but whatever I mean so that's that's that's a story for another day but like I think that he would be classified as a capitalist which I like personally I like capital and and Andrew says okay now I'm the commi now I'm the damn communist see there you go this is what you get my favorite part is if you ever Google any of these like I saw somebody on Twitter they like called somebody a Zionist and Google it and it just like this is the this is the Google definition of communism a person who supports or believes in commun or communist a person or supports or believes in communism like well that doesn't help me at all so uh dive in a little bit more if you want to know what it is it's an interesting time the world's a great place and I was honestly I thought that uh that it was a funny comment that's why I was just random to look up and I go oh yeah LeBron's a damn communist I love that uh but the white socks here this this is uh this is interesting Corby did I get both your guys' take again I just don't know if I did I go to both you Corby is did I get yours I got yours I got yours we've got the over eight and a half for Corby at minus 120 and uh we sort of talked about this with B maybe an interesting uh take here white socks first five Rangers full game that's wild that we'd be at 57 units if we just did that the whole game shout out to our guy Ed blust you're reminding me I need to message him and check out how the move is going so we're locking in that over8 and a half at minus 120 for Corby for purposes of the show we're [Music]
