Transcript

00:00If you out there listening, watching, if you like the Royals in this series,

00:04honestly, like I think you do, like the exact result, like Royals win game one, Royals win series.

00:09I think if the Royals beat Garrett Cole on Saturday night, I think the series is done.

00:14I think it's over.

00:15Because Carlos Rodon, like the first pitch of the game in game two, if it's a ball, the entire crowd's gonna start booing.

00:20Like, they're gonna lose the stadium if they lose game one.

00:24Game two's gonna be a disaster with Carlos Rodon.

00:27So I am hoping that the Yankees win, but if I had to give impartial betting advice,

00:33I would actually bet the Kansas City Royals to win the series.

00:35But I'm not gonna do that, because I love my team, I'm a Yankee fan.

00:38I'll hope for the best and expect the worst with the Yankees and the Royals.

00:44You better bet here on a Thursday.

00:46My friend, Femi Abebefeh, joins me now.

00:47Femi, we're almost all the way to the Division Series.

00:50We'll get our bets for the Mets and Brewers coming up later in the show.

00:53Do you agree, disagree, your thoughts on my thoughts on the three Division Series that we know of right now?

01:00Yeah, you know where we stand with the Kansas City Royals.

01:02Like, this is a team that I've been talking about for, like, months now.

01:05But like, hey, like, they're gonna be the team in the American League that I think kind of upsets the apple cart.

01:10So for me, I know it's your beloved Yankees, you're a Yankee fan.

01:14Everything is out in front of the New York Yankees to actually win the American League pennant and get to the World Series.

01:19Like, you have three teams from the Central that are in front of you.

01:22Like, go get it done.

01:24Oh, my God.

01:25When you put it like that, honestly, when you put it like that, it's like, oh, my God, please.

01:30How do you not get to the World Series?

01:32But I don't think they're going to get there.

01:33Because I do think the Kansas City Royals, I don't think they're the more talented team.

01:36Like, the Yankees ceiling is higher than the Royals ceiling.

01:40But the Yankees floor, what you mentioned, the pressure, the tension in Yankee Stadium.

01:45Like, they're booing these guys in regular season games.

01:47Like, if this does not go well from the start from game one, it's going to be really, really tense.

01:52And we know those bats for the Yankees, if they get cold, where else are they turning?

01:56Especially Judge, they're going to pitch around Judge.

01:58And it's just like, all right, Soto, save us.

02:00And then who's batting cleanup?

02:01Like, Jazz Chisholm, who I know you bet some Jazz Chisholm.

02:04But like, Jazz Chisholm, come save us.

02:06Like, I don't see that happening.

02:07I think the Royals pitching staff outside of the Phillies, Royals are the best pitching

02:11staff in the postseason.

02:12I already bet this.

02:13I bet plus 190 on the Royals to win the series.

02:16But I do like your angle.

02:17I was actually looking up to see if I could find that bet real quick, the Royals to win

02:20game one and also win the series, because I like that angle.

02:23Like, it's at Benham Gym right now, plus 325.

02:26Royals game one and series.

02:28I think that's a really juicy number to get in with the Kansas City Royals, because I

02:32think they're just the team that, in my opinion, checks all the boxes in the American League.

02:36I don't want to do, like, I mean this as someone who's put a Yankee hat on.

02:41I don't want to do, like, New York Sports Radio here.

02:43But does everyone, like, you love baseball.

02:47Like, does everyone know, like, what's going to happen here?

02:49Let's say, like, the series goes five, whatever, or, like, the Royals win in Kansas City, and

02:53in game one and game two, like, Soto doesn't hit.

02:56Like, if Soto gets booed by Yankee fans here, and the Yankees lose the series, I'm just.

03:02I mean, there's no way he's going to sign back with the Yankees if that happens.

03:10Baby, let me sign, sign with the New York Mets now.

03:15Got me like, oh my God.

03:17Yeah, I mean, I'm just saying, like, there are some subplots here big time.

03:22It's like, I, uh, dude, I'm worried.

03:25Like, I'm being serious.

03:26I'm a Yankee fan.

03:27I don't want to bet against them.

03:28I probably should, right?

03:30I don't do, like, the emotional hedge thing.

03:32Maybe I should, though, in this instance, and bet the Royals.

03:34I don't know.

03:35If you think it's going to mess you up, just don't bet the series, which is an option.

03:39Like, I wouldn't bet the other side just to, like, emotionally hedge.

03:42And then also, like, when the game actually starts, you can make your bet on the Royals.

03:45I like the Royals.

03:46I made that bet.

03:47But even if you do bet the Royals, first pitch, you're rooting for your bet, or you're

03:50rooting for your team.

03:51You're going to be rooting for the Yankees.

03:52Yeah, 100%.

03:53There's no question.

03:54Yeah.

03:54So don't put yourself in that position.

03:56Don't put yourself in that position.

03:57Just don't bet the series.

03:58Or if you do want to bet it, go for the double pain and bet on the New York Yankees to win

04:02the series.

04:02If you want to go down that path.

04:03That I think I'm good on in this particular series.

04:06I do have some futures on the Yankees, obviously, to win the World Series Jazz Chisholm, get

04:10the Jazz hands going for a World Series MVP.

04:12I'll pass on betting this series, though.

04:14I do think Yankees get to the ALCS.

04:17I think if it's Yankees time.

04:18And by the way, we owe those bastards, the Tigers.

04:20We owe them big time for what's happened in the last 15 years.

04:24They've owned us in the last 15.

04:28We got something coming for that ass.

04:30Or maybe not.

04:30We'll see.

04:31But I think the Yankees would beat the Tigers or the Guardians.

04:35I said that I bet the Tigers.

04:36And I know you like the Padres also.

04:38We all like the Padres on the show against the Dodgers.

04:41Where are you at right now with the Guards and the Tigers?

04:43Cleveland minus 130 at BetMGM Detroit plus 110.

04:48I think it's like a coin flip series.

04:49If you're going to give me a coin flip series, I'm going to take the plus money on that one.

04:52Like Cleveland.

04:53Anytime I watch them this season, I didn't really come away super impressed.

04:57Like talk about Yankee bats going cold.

04:59The Cleveland bats can actually go really cold.

05:01And if they don't hit that pitching staff, I don't think it's good enough to hold down

05:04a lineup, even a lineup that's kind of as like meh as the Detroit Tigers.

05:08Like the Tigers can do their whole death by a thousand paper cuts thing like they did

05:11against the Houston Astros.

05:12I think Detroit at plus 110 is a solid look.

05:15And I agree like Tariq Scoble.

05:16He does not lose when he's on the mound.

05:18Like he goes on the mound, does what an ace does.

05:21He's at least six, maybe even seven and shuts down the other lineup.

05:24Like those outings, you can already chalk them up for Detroit.

05:27And I think Detroit can find maybe one or two other to where they can win the series.

05:31Now for the NLDS with the Padres and the Dodgers, I'm going to bet the Padres series price.

05:36That's plus 120.

05:38But I think that the way to bet this thing as well, in addition to the plus 120 series

05:41price is plus four 20 Padres to win the series three one.

05:45Like I think that this is going to be San Diego going up to LA split that get either

05:50game one or game two.

05:51And based on what I've seen the last couple of nights, even my beloved Phillies from a

05:56betting standpoint, I don't think anyone's winning at Petco park.

05:59That place was a mad house.

06:00And that team with all the juice, they get it going.

06:03If they go back home with a one, one in pocket and they get the split in pocket, they're

06:07not going back to LA.

06:08It's over games three and game four.

06:10The Padres will win against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

06:13So I like Padres three, one in the series pays out plus four 20 against LA.

06:18All right.

06:18So Femi on the Padres, I'm on the Padres, Femi on the Tigers.

06:22I'm on the Tigers, Femi on the Royals, and I'll just be watching with my heart in my

06:27stomach.

06:27Yeah.

06:28Yeah.

06:29That's a fun way to spend a Saturday night.

06:31Just sweating, sweating your favorite team.
