00:03 - 2024 odds for the AL, what do you got?
00:05 - Look, the Yankees right now,
00:07 because they're a very public team,
00:08 they're the Yankees at the top at plus 300.
00:11 Well, when Garrett Cole is healthy,
00:13 I'll buy into that 300.
00:15 I don't wanna buy into it yet.
00:17 The Texas Rangers at plus 650, the reigning champs.
00:21 Yeah, at some point you're gonna get Scherzer back,
00:22 but that thumb seems to have stalled him right now.
00:26 So while again, I'll believe that when I see it,
00:29 they had a great run, it was magical last year.
00:32 Josh Young will be back eventually, sure.
00:34 And Marcus Simeon, I think is one of the most
00:35 underrated players in all of baseball.
00:37 Like that guy just does not get enough credit
00:39 of how good he has been,
00:40 since going back to the end of his Oakland days,
00:43 where I just don't think people realize
00:45 how good this guy's been for how long.
00:48 Seattle Mariners are still a team that I'm circling,
00:50 'cause I think they're extremely dangerous.
00:51 They need to make a move for a bat.
00:53 They need more help for Julio in that lineup.
00:55 They just don't have it right now.
00:57 So I was concerned that they were gonna miss
00:59 the Oscar Hernandez presence in that lineup this year,
01:01 and guess what they have.
01:03 So they need to bring somebody of that level,
01:05 whether it's a Robert, whether it's Alonzo,
01:07 whether it's somebody else,
01:08 I don't know who it's gonna be yet,
01:09 but it's gonna be somebody.
01:11 And Seattle would be foolish not to go all in
01:13 with this pitching staff they have.
01:14 'Cause when you have Castillo, Kirby, Gilbert, Miller,
01:18 that's about as good as it gets in Major League Baseball.
01:22 Right, so the Baltimore Orioles though,
01:25 to me, are the best investment on this board.
01:27 Because the Baltimore Orioles are the team
01:29 that controls their own destiny.
01:32 They have the ace at the top with Corbin Burns.
01:36 Eventually you get Grayson Rodriguez back healthy.
01:39 Bradish has been much better than I thought he would be
01:41 coming off that injury.
01:41 I've been shocked.
01:42 Let's cross our fingers that it maintains.
01:45 They have Gunnar Henderson who, you know,
01:48 maybe is a Chipper Jones-esque sort of player.
01:50 Like maybe he is that kind of a guy.
01:52 You wanna put a comp on him, right?
01:55 You have an opportunity with Adley Rutschman,
01:56 a great leadership guy.
01:57 You have all the pieces there, plus you have all the depth,
02:00 which means if you have injuries,
02:01 maybe some of the kids can come in there
02:03 and make some noise.
02:05 Jackson Holliday failed the first time.
02:07 I don't think he's gonna be a failure.
02:09 But all that capital you have in the minor leagues
02:11 also allows you to possibly flip them for a closer
02:15 if Craig Kimbrell can't get straight here.
02:17 Maybe you can get a Mason Miller from Oakland right now.
02:20 Maybe that's the trade you make.
02:21 We talked about Mike Trout.
02:22 We talked about a lot of things.
02:23 So I don't think the Yankees have the will
02:25 to move a Jason Dominguez or a Spencer Jones.
02:28 I don't think they wanna do that right now.
02:30 I think the Orioles are willing to do that.
02:32 The Orioles are a team with a new ownership
02:34 that's gonna be aggressive
02:36 and they are gonna do whatever it takes
02:37 because this is a window and they recognize it.
02:39 It's why in the off season they went out
02:41 and got burns in the first place.
02:42 So the American League to me, plus 470,
02:45 I like the Baltimore Orioles, Matt, I really do.
