00:00Ryan Pepeo has Houston and Frambois Valdez, and he has Toronto and Chris Bassett.

00:05I mean, that's a tough, tough task.

00:07For me, I'd be off of this, but Joe, I want to hear from you.

00:11I think if I need some help this week, I'm willing to roll the dice.

00:15Pepeo in his last couple starts has been really solid,

00:18and I know it's been a little up and down for him this year,

00:21but if you look at the last five starts for Pepeo,

00:23he's got 318 ERA, 21 strikeouts, eight walks.

00:27He is right of the ship after some weird outings earlier in the year,

00:32and going into the season, I always pay attention to a couple people when they break down pitchers.

00:36Eno Saris is one of them, and one of Eno's favorite guys going into this year was Ryan Pepeo.

00:41So, of course, I drafted him everywhere because he made a lot of good reasoning

00:44behind why he was so in on Pepeo, and I think even though you didn't see it right away,

00:48you're starting to see it now, and I think there were two camps.

00:51It was the Boz camp and the Pepeo camp, and I was in the Pepeo camp,

00:53and the Boz camp right now is really frustrated,

00:56and Pepeo seems like he is making some strides.

00:59Now, don't be shocked if you don't see Ian Seymour coming up soon, too.

01:02He's leading the AAA in strikeouts right now.

01:05He has been red hot. He's been so good,

01:07so maybe you get to see him at some point here for the Rays,

01:10but in the meantime, I would take a shot here,

01:13and the reason is that Houston lineup is weak right now.

01:16Noah Alvarez. Altuve's not very good.

01:19Christian Walker continues to Christian Walker himself.

01:22I don't know what's going on there.

01:23He started to show some signs of life, and then he kind of took a nosedive again,

01:27so this lineup is just not as formidable as it usually is,

01:29so I think that's why I'm willing to kind of go against the grain here

01:33with Pepeo for two starts.

01:34All right.
