00:00but tom like what sort of angles because we're trying to figure it out it's hard to handicap

00:03these guys in it right it's an exhibition they're not used to doing this it's not we know who the

00:07pitcher is who the lineup is at this part is there a way that you approach this because i was just

00:11joking around saying i'm just going to take like if i wanted to plus money every single round and

00:16hope i go 50 and just put the profit in my pocket because i don't know who actually is going to hit

00:21the most home run tonight that's the beauty of this competition yeah the way i would go to go

00:25about it is you could certainly take outright on you know two three different players and as long

00:29as you have uh you know as long as one of them comes through you would come out positive just

00:33because we're getting such you know big plus money and i think that's a very easy way to go about it

00:42second round not a surprise so like i'm you know doubling down essentially to make the semifinals so

00:46i like him to win and you could do that the same thing is just simply to make the semifinals you

00:50could just say okay give me two different players at plus money and it's the same thing donnie that

00:53we talk about with rbis as one as long as one of them comes through you're coming out net positive

00:57now you can obviously add more to that and you're spreading yourself a little bit thin you could take

01:00brent rooker over 18 and a half which is his first round uh total home run mark because if he were to

01:06advance to the second round he probably needs to get to 18 and a half whatever it might be so like

01:10you can compound those things it's the same thing with the three-point contest in the nba

01:14if a player is going to advance he's gonna need to hit a lot
