00:00nobody gives any credit to the american league central it's like the division nobody wants to
00:11talk about but detroit is at the top kansas city is right there so is cleveland and minnesota who
00:17was left for dead in april have had a fantastic may george buy or sell the american league central
00:22will have two 90 win teams this year i think we probably agreed detroit
00:28barring some catastrophe is going to get to 90 will there be another
00:32all right i agree most of detroit will get to 90 right so we will we'll give them that
00:38minnesota cleveland right now they're right around pace for 90 91 i think they both might be playing
00:45a little bit above their heads here you know uh boy uh yeah i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna sell this
00:52i'm gonna say no uh things will happen second half of the season i don't know if either one's gonna
00:56be big uh buyers on the uh you know a trade market to really uh reinforce your team here
01:00so i think it'll be close you know but i think this is a good question sam it would have been 88
01:06which i know sounds good at two wins i probably would say yes but 90 i'm gonna i'm gonna sell
01:11this i'm gonna say no but it'll be damn close sell for me too we're in agreement here i like to
01:17i don't i don't i mean what do you want me to lie you want me to say buy a lie if you want
01:21i don't see it i don't see it i i do see several teams in the 80 to 90 win range but i am going to
01:30sell this i'm gonna go well i picked detroit the beginning of the season here probably only one on
01:35sports grid so i'll go detroit wins 94 i'll say kansas city wins 88 i'll say cleveland wins 84
01:46and the twins win 80 that's the direction that i'll go all right let's get to pitching here
01:53mckenzie gore nice little debate question we had a little earlier in the show let's expand on it
01:57gore who is at the top in terms of strikeouts in the national leagues had a great year for the
02:02washington nationals buy or sell mckenzie gore of sam's nationals is apparently a top 10 pitcher in
02:09the national league by herself for those who don't know sam's yelling at us in our ear because we're
02:17not disagreeing uh and by the way sam if you you know that was a good first question this is a bad
02:22question because how are we going to disagree on this awful awful i mean come on of course he's a top 10
02:27yeah maybe top five we could have an argument here because we did earlier in the show we're maybe top 10
02:32in american league so we're going to yell at sam about this okay and uh by the way shocking he would
02:38have a nationals question here all right uh mckenzie gore's been really really good so well
02:42absolutely he's top 10 i don't think there's any debate here uh let's just debating for the sake of
02:47debating here uh he's been a top 10 like so you the argument's top five i don't he's really close to
02:52top five now maybe i say top six something like that but yeah he's absolutely top 10 been great for
02:56the washington nationals uh good get for them yeah this is you know obviously a buy uh as of right now
03:03and you'd have a hard time naming five i i think that are better than him when he pitches uh look we
03:10could say skeins burns who else george who am i missing here um any yamomoto yamomoto maybe
03:18lizardo yeah four webb logan webb would have to be in this conversation maybe i mean ray's been better
03:28than gore probably right uh but boy say there's a lot i don't know if i go say he's not going deep
03:37enough at the game yet but uh he's all in that same category he's uh he's definitely top 10 top
03:42five i'm gonna say no all right let's get to show hey otani who has been throwing bullpens it does
03:48appear he's going to pitch this season now will it happen in june that's sort of the eta remains to
03:54be seen buy or sell otani will pitch 75 innings or more this season george this is actually a little
04:02tougher this is a little tough this is a good question uh he's he threw the wall at one bullpen
04:09he'll have another bullpen maybe this weekend you know it's it's a little weird craig because he can't
04:14pitch in games while uh you know while rehabbing maybe you know simulcast games you know simulated
04:19games here he'll do that but he's not they're not going to send him down to uh you know albuquerque
04:24to go pitch uh in a game even on a day off they won't do that so it could take him a little bit
04:28longer to get ready here 75 innings is more than enough to get listen they don't care about him
04:32pitching in the regular season it's all about once again getting ready for the postseason here
04:36i'm gonna sell this although i don't feel great about it because once again we're not asking a lot
04:42here i'll sell this i think maybe more than 60 range that's once again that's good enough to get
04:46ready for october which is what they really care about so i'm gonna sell i'll buy on uh otani doing
04:52this but but again i'm gonna buy on him returning by july 1st if he is not back by july 1st he could
05:01not hit this if he is july august september let's call it 12 to 15 starts five innings a start yes he
05:12would hit that but he's got he's got to come back in the next month finally aaron judge right now
05:16triple crowning it he'll win it by herself well he's gonna win the average should win the home run
05:22here so it's all about the uh the rbis right can the yankings get on base in front of him i'm gonna
05:26buy this he's not gonna hit the 65 home runs this year he'll do something definitely he'll get the
05:30triple crown just like i think uh otani's gonna hit more than 60 home runs bye
05:33you
