00:00All right, let's go to Major League Baseball.

00:02One player struck out 225 batters or more last season, one pitcher.

00:08But a lot struck out 224.

00:10It was like right there in 220.

00:12So, Joe, are we going to go above last year?

00:14Four pitchers or more will strike out 225 hitters this season.

00:19Again, only one did it last year, but let's give full context.

00:22If you look, a lot were very close last year as well.

00:26Yeah, so last year you had Tariq Skubel with 228.

00:30You had Chris Sale with 225 and then Cease with 224.

00:33Wheeler with 224 and Reagans with 223.

00:36And that's not talking about Logan Gilbert, who was right there at 220.

00:40And Garrett Crochet, who only threw 146 innings.

00:43So, I'm going to go with the over here.

00:45Guys continue to strike out an alarming pace.

00:48So, I'm going to buy that you're going to have a couple of these here.

00:51This is all about staying healthy, of course.

00:52But I think you've got half a dozen names that realistically could do that this year.

00:57And you know what?

00:57Don't look now, but Spencer Strider is only going to miss the first two weeks of the season, basically.

01:01So, we might be able to throw him in that mix.

01:03Maybe, again, he doesn't need a lot of innings to strike out 225 guys.

01:08Just saying.

01:09Yeah.

01:10You know, I'm going to sell this.

01:13Yeah, I'm going to sell this.

01:14Like, I think I can lock in Yamamoto or the Dodgers for striking out, like, 300, you know?

01:19But, and maybe, but I'm going to sell.

01:22I'm betting against health in baseball.

01:24I hate the way that this has gone, where it's V-low or nothing.

01:26I hope we change that.

01:28All right, finally, buy or sell.

01:29The NL West will have three 90-win teams.

01:32I would assume we're talking about the Dodgers.

01:34We're talking about the Diamondbacks.

01:36We're talking about the Giants, maybe?

01:38Buy or sell.

01:40I'm going to sell.

01:41They didn't have 93-91 teams last year.

01:44The Diamondbacks fell short of that by a win.

01:46I know they have Burns now.

01:48I just think it's going to get super competitive.

01:50And, you know, eventually, they're going to have to play more teams in the East.

01:52And the East is really good.

01:53National League is just a superior league right now, in my opinion.

01:56So, I'm going to sell on this one.

01:58I think you get two, but not three.

01:59One fall short.

02:00Yeah, got to do the same thing here.

02:02We agreed too much on this one.

02:03But I will sell.

02:05Probably have LA.

02:06Just smart people.

02:06LA and I'll go Arizona.

02:10LA and Arizona, not San Diego.

02:12Look at you.

02:13All short.

02:13Yeah.

02:14Go ahead.

02:15Go ahead.
