00:00Let's alienate everybody in New York and Queens and the Bronx here.

00:03I'm going to go with the Yankees and Mets both don't make the playoffs this year.

00:07Uh, Yankees, I think the answers are pretty, uh, the reason is pretty obvious, right?

00:11No Garrett Cole.

00:12Uh, Louie Hill, maybe July, uh, comes back and we'll see what kind of pitcher he is from

00:17the lat injury there.

00:18Uh, the Yankees have just, you heard Brian Kessler say it, they can't take any more hits.

00:22Uh, their rotation literally is down to six, 12 pitches, period.

00:26Amos gets hurt.

00:27I don't know what they're going to do here.

00:28And you already got Clark Schmidt is starting behind everybody.

00:31You're relying on Will Warren, a rookie, Carlos Carrasco.

00:34Remember these guys are in the rotation, so they're relying on these guys to pitch and

00:38pitch well here.

00:39Stroman, good luck.

00:41Good luck to you.

00:42They just can't afford any hits.

00:43Stanton, which, yeah, oh, every Yankee fan complains about Stanton, but you need him

00:47in the lineup and now they don't have him.

00:48All right.

00:49And I don't know when he's coming back.

00:50Right.

00:51They're not even talking about him anymore.

00:52But if judge gets hurt, it's all over but the crying.

00:55So I'm going to go with the Yankees, uh, not to make the playoffs here.

00:58That division is going to be tough with Boston, Toronto, Tampa, Baltimore.

01:02They're all about the same, you know, so it's going to be tough for the Yankees to win that

01:05division wildcard.

01:06You got all these teams that are more battling for those positions.

01:08For the Mets, it's sort of similar here.

01:11Your rotation is Cody Senga, who barely pitched last year.

01:14I don't know how many innings you can get out of him.

01:16Minaya's already hurt.

01:17Montes is already hurt.

01:18Clay Holmes, the reliever, is your opening day starter.

01:22How many innings can you get out of him this year before he's done?

01:25McGill, Canny, you just don't have the pitching.

01:28I thought they made a mistake not going at the Burns or not going at the Max Freed, whatever

01:31it might have cost to get those guys.

01:34Stearns just doesn't, the GM just doesn't believe in signing long-term contracts to

01:38starting pitchers, which I kind of understand, but it puts you in this kind of bind because

01:42they can hit.

01:43The Mets are going, they're going to play a lot of 9-7 games, a lot of overs, both team

01:48total overs and game overs for the New York Mets this season here.

01:51Yankees and Mets both to miss the playoffs this season.

01:54Next bowl prediction, Shohei Otani.

01:57This is not a negative.

01:58He's going to hit just fine.

01:59He might win the MVP again, but he's not going to start more than 10 games.

02:04I don't think the Dodgers want him to start.

02:05I just don't.

02:07They don't need him to start.

02:08We all know with the Dodgers, they have so many starting pitchers, right?

02:11It's one of the reasons they went that direction where they signed all these guys.

02:15You know, they signed Sasaki.

02:16You got Yamamoto.

02:17You signed Snell.

02:18You got Glass now.

02:19Kershaw, who's put on a 60-day I.L., which is fine.

02:21You'll get him back eventually, right?

02:23Dustin May is back.

02:24He looks really good, by the way.

02:26You might want to grab him and let him drift.

02:27You got Gonsalves, who'll be back from injury.

02:29You don't need Otani to start.

02:31And have you noticed that they're ramping him down, slowing him down?

02:35Because they want his bat line up.

02:36They don't want him to worry about pitching.

02:38I think if the Dodgers had their way, he wouldn't pitch at all.

02:40You know, just, hey, put that bat line up here.

02:43We'll go from there.

02:44He wants to pitch.

02:45So I think that's what's going on there with Shohei Otani.

02:48He's going to make some starts here.

02:50And listen, it wouldn't shock me, by the way, if he's pitching well, if he is a top four

02:53starter in the playoffs for them.

02:55But once again, Yamamoto, Sasaki, Snell, Glasnow, they're all healthy.

02:59You know, you just don't need Otani here.

03:02So once again, less than 10 starts for Otani.

03:04Next one on the board here, Vladimir Guerrero, throughout the Blue Jays, he's going to win

03:10the American League MVP.

03:12Contract year.

03:13And when I say contract year, I mean big-time contract year.

03:16All right, now, they play at a band box.

03:18I think he's going to hit 40-plus home runs this year.

03:20He's got a big season there.

03:21Boba Shett looks good, which is helpful as far as driving good runs, giving him some

03:24protection.

03:25I think he's going to score some runs.

03:27There is a worry here.

03:28All right?

03:29The Blue Jays are out of it.

03:31You know, he has a contract year.

03:32He didn't sign with them.

03:33They tried to sign with him before the season started.

03:36They could trade him.

03:37They can't risk losing him for nothing.

03:38So there is some risk here that Sam brought up.

03:41What if he's traded to a National League team?

03:43Well, there goes your MVP.

03:44You know, so there is some risk here, but that's why it's a below prediction, right?

03:47So Vladimir Guerrero to win the MVP to get it over someone like Aaron Judge here.

03:53That's one.

03:54Brent Rooker of the A's.

03:55You need Judge to probably get an injury here, but that's a bam box they play in Sacramento.

03:59The ball is going to fly out of there.

04:00This is not the Oakland Coliseum.

04:02Brent Rooker to lead the American League in home runs.

04:05I think he's hitting over 40.

04:06You know, so you're going to need Judge to calm down a little bit.

04:08Judge plays 150.

04:09He's probably going to hit 55-60 again.

04:11But Rooker is right there.

04:12A lot of power coming from Rooker.

04:14Average, not so much here, but a lot of power coming from Rooker.
