00:00and we still have some major league baseball to break down as well a full wednesday slate around

00:05the bigs not as many games here on this thursday about nine as i count them i think i am correct

00:14with that maybe eight who knows all right you know as we will nine in total as the rockies

00:19and the royals will play a doubleheader in kansas city so you know we'll start going around the

00:25diamond dash as we talk about the national league west of course there's a ton of focus on the

00:29san diego padres the la dodgers to begin this year but keep an eye on those san francisco giants at

00:36home today taking on the brewers so you know how do you see this game playing out by the bay

00:41it's interesting because it's weird that the giants aren't exactly like a great hitting lineup

00:48yet they seem to keep winning games like i'm not really sure how they do it uh when you look at

00:54their numbers they're very middle of the road and they're not all that impressive they play in a

00:58pitcher's ballpark so they don't score a lot of runs at whatever it's called now it's not pack bell

01:03at&t whatever that i can't thank you very much um but nonetheless they're getting a lot of quality

01:10starts and they're getting timely hitting and they're winning ball games here so uh hard to bet

01:14against the giants at home uh today land and ralph has been really good uh all things considered uh

01:21given where he was but you're talking about a guy who's let a lot of three runs or less

01:24in uh three of his four starts and he had a great start at home last time he faced the reds

01:29in a game he gave up just one run in six innings give me the giants today no yanks to ask you about

01:35today on the slate which is a tough scene there yanks you know playing decent baseball aaron judge

01:39might hit 500 this season but let's go to one of their division rivals seattle and boston today

01:44woovers crochet 135 start today up in boston that minus 150 or so line rising higher and higher the

01:51pain blue sportsbook minus 174 other outlets as high as 185 and a total of eight any thoughts

01:56with seattle and boston today up in bean town they've gone over the first two games in this

02:01series so you have to begin to wonder when the under is going to come in feels like today is the day

02:06brian woo has been very very good uh you know and so is garrett crochet you look at 35 strikeouts

02:11and 32 innings this year so uh i would look to a first five under even at seven and a half here

02:17uh for the game total if you can get a four take the four and live with the push but uh you'd have

02:22to believe there's some aggression this is another red sox team that isn't hitting the ball all that

02:26well and the mariners offense is just putrid like it's bad uh they're one of the highest k-rate teams

02:30in all baseball and uh as is boston i expect a lot of strikeouts today yeah it's a really good look

02:37you know as well total is eight really good pitching matchup between brian rue and the american

02:42league cy young favorite in his first year in fenway that is garrett crochet plus 165 price for

02:49crochet to win the al cy young hardware boston's been playing better a couple of games below 500

02:55just a couple of weeks ago they've won seven of their last ten the rubber match today between the

03:00socks and the m's at fenway you know you look at the rest of the card either on that graphic the

03:07white socks and the twins also included and as we shared a double header between the royals and the

03:13rockies after yesterday got postponed you know what is the best bet for you on this thursday around

03:19major league baseball give me the angels here first five on the money line uh pay it just because

03:26the angels offense over the last two weeks after a hot start one of the worst in baseball tied for the

03:32fewest runs scored and batting a stinky buck 98 whatever it is it's been pitiful for them but

03:39they're facing carmen lodzinski of uh no get that been malodzinski oh that's a tough one that's a tough

03:48one whatever can i tell you something yes that's bad call him whatever you want 741 era whip hasn't

03:56made it past five innings in any of his starts giving up at least four runs in three or four here

03:59or add into the fact that the pirates absolutely cannot hit left-handed pitching they got a 209

04:04batting average their bottom five in ops uh and tyler anderson has been as consistent and reliable

04:09as they come he's got a 208 era near a near one whip uh pirates have the fourth highest strikeout

04:15rate against lefties this year trying to avoid the sweep so let's take the angels here first five on

04:20the money line in case their offense still stinks against ski bad ski call him bad ski uh yeah that too bad call

04:29uh in case the angels offense still stinks here we'll keep the tie in our back pocket yeah not the

04:35worst idea right there to call a guy bad ski it's kind of a cool name even if things start to turn

04:41around man that guy's bad ski type of thing the halos blank yesterday at home in anaheim by the

04:48pirates you know carlos rodon dealing yesterday in the land seven innings or did not allow a single

04:55earned run had to bring a smile to your face they did it on the road that brought a smile to my face

05:01i mean you know last year was terrible on the road maybe it's the beard maybe it just feels more

05:05comfortable with facial who knows rice's number i feel like i mean send them all right all right

05:14major league baseball today battle the lefties in washington i got bored last night by washington

05:19not allowing more than four and a half runs to the oreos but tonight's povich it's gore two lefties

05:24on the mound basically a pick them and an eight and a half any angles for this game tom for you

05:28let's go to kate povich under 15 and a half outs it is sitting on minus 135 he's a lefty that i have

05:35a lot of interest in he is on my dynasty team i am starting him today just to make things clear but

05:39ultimately i like him under 15 and a half outs he's been off to a rough start this season and it's

05:44really there's no signs that it will get significantly better soon he has a 6.3 era and donnie you know we

05:50don't love to use era but he has a 4.25 xfip which is ultimately good like that's not great

05:55the walks are an issue with him his strike area is only at 20 some fly balls here there some home

05:59runs here there and you know call me crazy but this nats lineup they're actually putting together

06:04some offense so i don't like what we've seen from kate povich thus far and while i've interested in

06:10him long term as a prospect it's probably not going to turn today i mean what happened to the

06:16baltimore orioles they have lost three consecutive games they're five games sub 500 at 9 and 14 they

06:23gave up 24 runs against the reds over the weekend they've been beat by the nats in two straight in

06:29this midweek set things are bad right now i know what donnie's gonna say donnie's gonna say we need

06:35to get rid of the franchise and combine the nats and orioles because there's no reason

06:39yeah it's an inner squad scrimmage today let's go do it throw the wizards in there too they'll

06:47play baseball yeah no don't sit down dmv sit down oh dmv sit down vecchio we'll still be here in our

06:54next segment together but we gotta send drs to the money line donnie have a great rest of your time
