00:00
Let's get to the lion's share brought to you by BetMGM.
00:07
Good to be back for a little tater time here on a Wednesday.
00:12
Let's go.
00:13
We've had a good start this afternoon with Marte and Ian Happ.
00:17
We're going to try to get those good vibes going into the night.
00:20
Those shows were horrible without the tater segment.
00:24
I noticed we did all kinds of futures and odds and this and that.
00:28
It was literally terrible.
00:32
I was throwing noodles against the fridge to see if they would stick.
00:36
I threw the Chapman Fitzgerald double out.
00:41
Yesterday, when Joe Ranieri was doing the baseball plays, I was throwing out guys that
00:47
would hit home runs.
00:48
It's just not the same without your taters.
00:51
It's just show and fail.
00:53
Monday, Tuesday, Sunday, we're down 0-2.
00:56
Got to have tater time.
00:58
Let's do it tonight.
00:59
We've got a lot of good opportunities.
01:01
We will start in Toronto with the Orioles and the Blue Jays, Scotty.
01:06
Who are we going after tonight?
01:08
How about the immortal Bowden Francis?
01:11
Who?
01:12
That's the starting pitcher for the Blue Jays tonight.
01:15
Your boy's given up 10 homers in 44 innings pitched already this year.
01:20
That is not a good ratio.
01:22
We are going to go heavy with some Baltimore bats and Gunnar Henderson will lead the charge.
01:28
Now, Gunnar was in a home run slump, Scotty, and he busted out of it with a home run on
01:33
Sunday.
01:34
I'm hoping that he's going to get things going.
01:36
He's two for three off of Bowden Francis with a couple doubles in his career.
01:40
He sees the guy very well getting off the deck, plus 475 for Gunnar Henderson tonight
01:47
against Bowden Francis.
01:48
I'll tell you, there's other guys in this Oriole lineup.
01:51
I was waiting, Scotty, for some reason they did not have a price on Mountcastle.
01:58
Mountcastle is four for five with two homers off of Bowden Francis in his career.
02:04
Now, they have not put a number up yet for Ryan Mountcastle, but they just put the lineup
02:09
up and he's in it.
02:11
Look for a number on him.
02:12
By the time we leave coast to coast, I'll have it, but we're going to go Mountcastle
02:16
too because he destroys it.
02:19
What about Santander?
02:21
He's another lefty bat.
02:22
He's two for six off of him, and he hits more homers from the left side, which is where
02:26
he'll be tonight.
02:27
I think this is a night where the Orioles can get the big stick out against Bowden Francis
02:33
and the Blue Jays in Toronto.
02:35
Next, we go to Coors Field.
02:37
Mets are in town.
02:38
They were quiet last night, Scotty.
02:40
I'm hoping that Ryan Feltner can wake up their bats tonight, especially the polar bear, Pete
02:47
Alonso.
02:49
This jumped out at me when I saw this this morning, Scotty.
02:52
You're giving me Alonso at plus 425 in Coors Field.
02:57
That seems too easy for me.
02:59
I expected it to be in the high twos, low threes.
03:02
Plus 425.
03:03
He's three for five with a homer off of Feltner in his career.
03:08
Feltner's allowed 17 homers this year.
03:10
Of course, that helps.
03:11
He plays in Coors.
03:12
Give me the polar bear at plus 425.
03:14
Listen, I like the polar bear.
03:17
I like J.D. Martinez.
03:19
I like Lindor.
03:21
I like Nimmo.
03:23
I like where they're playing.
03:25
The thin air at Coors.
03:27
The balls fly out of there.
03:29
So I expect the Mets to rate.
03:31
Back to business tonight for the Mets with the long ball.
03:33
I love Alonso.
03:35
Back to business indeed.
03:37
Next, let's go to Los Angeles, where last night we saw Kyle Schwarber, of course, hit
03:42
on that long home run off the foul ball.
03:45
Well, tonight, Scotty, we're going to the other guy on Philadelphia, Harper.
03:50
Similar situation as Gunnar Henderson.
03:52
Was in a very big slide.
03:54
Not a lot of homers.
03:55
Not a lot of hits.
03:56
He busted out with a homer on Sunday in Seattle.
03:59
He's picked up a couple hits the last few nights in L.A. against the Dodgers.
04:03
And I think we got a good matchup here with Stone.
04:05
He's two for three off of him in his career.
04:07
So he sees him well, too.
04:09
Plus 425 for Bryce Harper tonight under the lights in L.A.
04:13
Yeah, I like Harper.
04:14
I like Schwarbaum again.
04:19
Why not?
04:20
I don't have any problem with that.
04:21
That's for sure.
04:22
In fact, for Schwarbaum, Scotty, I'll let you know, they're giving you the Schwarbaum
04:27
price.
04:28
I saw him in the threes.
04:30
Let's see if it moved up a little bit for you here.
04:34
Schwarbaum is not listed right here.
04:37
He is plus 310 on BetMGM right now, Scotty.
04:40
Still not that bad.
04:43
Not that bad at all.
04:44
So we'll get him in the mix as well.
04:45
Next, Kansas City, Red Sox and the Royals tonight.
04:49
I told you I want to see the Royals finally start to get some wins against some of these
04:53
teams.
04:54
Cutter Crawford for the Red Sox tonight, Scotty.
04:57
How about these numbers?
04:58
He's allowed 26 home runs this year.
05:01
But here's the kicker.
05:03
15 of them have been in his last three starts.
05:08
Think about that.
05:09
He's allowed 15 homers in his last three starts.
05:12
I'm not lying to you there.
05:14
He's been destroyed his last few times out.
05:16
So we go to the big bats of the Kansas City Royals.
05:19
Bobby Witt Jr., plus 400 tonight for him against Cutter Crawford.
05:25
You want to throw Vinny P. in there, Salvi Perez.
05:28
Let's get the big bats for the Royals against Cutter Crawford.
05:31
I like all three of those against this guy.
05:34
And he's just feeding people like, you know, meat pies.
05:38
So let's go with all three of the bigs.
05:41
All three of the bigs.
05:42
Let's go and do it.
05:44
All right.
05:45
I got a couple long balls for you here.
05:46
Some real long shots to take us into, at least in terms of prices.
05:49
I don't think one of them is that big of a long shot.
05:51
First, we got Andrew Abbott going for the Reds tonight in Miami against the Marlins.
05:56
Now, I know that the Reds, Scotty, have been the ones who have been doing all the big hitting
06:00
the last couple nights down there against the Fish.
06:03
But one thing Abbott does do, and he's been good this year, but he gives up a lot of home
06:07
runs.
06:08
He's given up 21 homers this year.
06:10
Jesus Sanchez, the cleanup hitter for the Marlins.
06:14
He hits bombs, Scotty.
06:15
He's got 13 this year.
06:16
He's got one in the last week.
06:17
And it's plus 775.
06:19
He hits them against lefties, which is what Abbott is.
06:22
I love this price for Sanchez.
06:23
I've seen him at other places in the fours.
06:26
Plus 775 for him at Bed MGM.
06:29
So and then I just want to see that.
06:32
So Abbott and Cassell, this guy, yeah.
06:36
So he hits left handers and he's on the same side.
06:40
He hits left.
06:41
Hits left handers, which is, you know, relatively rare.
06:44
But he turns on Abbott and at that price, that is fantastic.
06:49
I hope it hits.
06:50
That would be great.
06:51
If that were the one tater that flew over the wall tonight, I'd be content.
06:57
Burger time for the Fish as well against Abbott.
06:59
I don't mind either because burger time has been pretty hot as of late.
07:03
And my last one for you, unfortunately, is in the Pirate Game.
07:06
And I have to go after Marco Gonzalez because taking Jurickson pro-far whenever a lefty
07:12
is on the mound has become a staple for me.
07:15
It's 8-1 tonight for pro-far against Gonzalez.
07:19
The Buccos can win, Scotty, but 8-1 for pro-far to go deep.
07:24
And Gonzalez, you know, is the lefty.
07:27
So like I'm looking at that lineup, look at these guys.
07:31
I could see Bogarts, Machado, Solano.
07:36
Solano's been hot.
07:37
I think he had four RBIs last night, right?
07:41
So Machado's 4-8 off of Gonzalez in his career.
07:45
He doesn't have a homer, but he sees him well.
07:47
He's 4-8 off of him.
07:48
So we could see Machado get it done as well.
