00:00We'll start off with the Boston Red Sox, George, without Tanner Houck.

00:03He's going to make two starts this week against Toronto and the Chicago White Sox.

00:06The only problem is, is, uh, yeah, Houck's probably owned in your fantasy league, right?

00:12Like, so if for some reason he's not, then you grab him.

00:15Really good matchup against the White Sox, home one against Toronto, not the best, not

00:19the worst, but with a player like this, it's more or less watching us opening up your league

00:25and then seeing that he's probably owned, but a really good two start week, I think,

00:28for him next week.

00:29Yeah.

00:30He's available.

00:31Hey, you're definitely going out and grabbing him here.

00:33Uh, it does play, uh, you know, Toronto's good offense there, so that could be a problem,

00:36but, uh, Tanner Houck is somebody, we already talked about Boston early in the show, right?

00:40A good start, solid start to the season, right?

00:43They, uh, the bullpen almost melted down that game against the Cardinals, uh, yesterday.

00:47So you got to straighten that up, but that doesn't affect Houck any other than maybe

00:49costing him a win.

00:50So yeah, I'm on board with, uh, with Houck, uh, probably an SP four overall for your team

00:55if you got them.

00:58We got Hayden Wesneski of the Astros.

01:01He's 22% owned in CBS leagues.

01:03He starts Monday against Seattle and then starts against the angels.

01:08Neither team really makes me scared, but I don't, what do you think of Wesneski?

01:13I don't know.

01:14His first star was like, okay, not great.

01:16Were you running to pick him up?

01:17I really do like the matchups this week, but is he going to get a win, you know, or wins

01:23counting in your league?

01:24Is he going to go more than five innings?

01:26It doesn't appear to me that he's one of those guys.

01:28Yeah.

01:29If you're in a quality start league, the odds of that aren't good, right?

01:32To go six innings, three runs or less.

01:34I don't like that at all here.

01:35This is a guy, I mean, in April, should you be this desperate, you know, where you really

01:39need a two-star guy like Wesneski?

01:41I mean, we like the starts, right?

01:43Seattle, I know Seattle scored nine runs yesterday, which honestly may be more than they had scored

01:46in every game combined this season.

01:48Uh, but not a good offense.

01:50Angels not a good offense.

01:51Uh, so yeah, I like the, I like the two starts, but, uh, what are we hoping for?

01:55What are we hoping for here?

01:56He's sort of a guy who's probably not going to do anything plus for you, but maybe not

01:59do anything minus.

02:00So, so like a filler.

02:01That's all.

02:02That's a filler.

02:03Guy's not going to hurt you.

02:04Not going to help you, but you fill in here.

02:05I guess if you need it for the two starts, you need strikeouts to get, hopefully get

02:08double digits combined with two starts.

02:10I can see that, but what else are you hoping for here?

02:13I don't see him doing much for you in any other category.

02:17The best matchups for two starts next week could be for Logan Allen of the Cleveland

02:21Guardians.

02:23He is only 12% owned in fantasy leagues on CBS, and he starts against the white socks

02:29and the Royals.

02:30But the problem is, it has been the problem with Logan Allen, George is this dude just

02:33walks way too many guys, you know, I mean, five walks in his first start with Cleveland.

02:40I don't know.

02:41I feel like this is just too risky for me.

02:43I'm going to pass here.

02:44I'm going to pass as well.

02:47Uh, once again, Logan, Logan, I was the guy I sort of believed in last year, had him on

02:50a couple of teams and got rid of him when he was terrible at Cleveland, almost got rid

02:54of him as well.

02:55Here.

02:56Oh, that's not against Kansas city, by the way.

02:57It's also against Cole, uh, uh, Reagan's, which, all right, he's not pitching, you know,

03:00he's not facing Reagan's, but Reagan's probably going to win the game.

03:02So it takes a way up.

03:03Once again, you're not going to get a w also Cleveland, no offense.

03:06All right.

03:07If Jose Ramirez is not hitting three home runs, which he did last night, fantastic.

03:11It's tough for them to win.

03:12So what are you hoping for here?

03:15I mean, I get it.

03:16The white socks are terrible and you, we want to pick against them, but that's not against

03:19Kansas city.

03:20Could be ugly.

03:21No, I'll bet.

03:22I read that was Nesky.
