00:00 We start Craig our daily assessment here around Major
00:06 League Baseball in Minneapolis between the Twins and the
00:09 Yankees. The Yanks take game number one yesterday 5 to 1 in
00:13 this set against Minnesota. It is game number two back in the
00:17 Twin Cities today. Pablo Lopez on the bump for the Twins. They
00:21 are booked as a home favorite minus 130. Will the Twins fall
00:25 the odds and bounce back to get a victory in this series
00:29 against New York today? Yeah, look, I mean another good
00:32 matchup. I think the Yankees I look they have dominated the
00:35 Twins through the years and you know yesterday on the show. I
00:38 said that I thought Chris Paddock could go over his
00:40 strikeout total. I mean, unfortunately, Friso bet $20,000
00:44 on it. I'm sorry about that. You know, I mean, there's nothing
00:46 I can do. It's just one. It's just one prop. You know, it's
00:49 one prop next time check in with Otani's interpreter if you
00:52 want to get a bigger limit, but naturally today, I think I think
00:56 today. I think I'm going right back to it today. I mean Pablo
00:59 Lopez 10 strikeouts 8 strikeouts 8 strikeouts last three starts.
01:04 I know the Yankees are a different animal. I get it, but
01:07 I do think that I'm going to try again today. It was only by
01:10 a half yesterday with Paddock. I think Pablo Lopez goes over
01:13 a strikeout total again. I'm looking at a game. That's a
01:15 coin flip. It's a minus 115 minus 120. I can tell you that
01:19 I think the Twins are going to win because potentially they
01:21 have the better pitcher on the mound. But as we know it's
01:24 baseball and you know guys just do not go deep into games
01:27 generally and so it's down to the bullpens and then in a
01:30 one-run game anything can happen. So we'll go back to the
01:32 strikeout prop today with Pablo. Toronto one game number one
01:36 of the series versus Baltimore rain out yesterday in a pitching
01:39 change today in a 1235 start in the charm City. Pratt's is
01:42 going to be on the mound. Who's been very good in his limited
01:44 innings this year. But instead of Bassett getting the start
01:47 you say Kikuchi the left-handed pitcher will get the start of
01:50 the season. So you said a pretty decent 2024 season minus
01:53 126 of the current updated numbers in a total of seven and
01:56 a half afternoon action at Camden Yards Craig any ideas
02:00 here. Yeah, maybe a little bit of a lean toward an under I see
02:03 seven and a half here usually the afternoon games for teams
02:07 that generally have the higher totals which Baltimore is
02:09 involved in maybe not so much Toronto is they just play those
02:13 games differently. They'll never admit it but they're out
02:15 there up there swinging everyone knows that it's the last game
02:17 of the series or a day game. And so it's on the road traveling
02:20 somewhere else maybe for both teams in the spot. I haven't
02:22 looked at the future schedule. So a decent pitching matchup
02:25 here. I would lean a little toward an under of seven and a
02:28 half but not one of my favorites today. You still see
02:31 the American League East odds with the gangs actually now in
02:34 front a half game in front of Baltimore, New York a minus
02:38 175 favorite Baltimore second best price at plus 170 a large
02:44 drop off to Toronto at 18 to 1 Craig. We asked you about this
02:47 game yesterday. It still remains that two-team race as of
02:51 this moment. Now we go out to the desert and a duel today.
02:54 Some afternoon baseball in Arizona Brandon fought on the
02:57 bump for the D-backs the reigning National League pennant
03:00 winners who haven't really been able so far Craig to replicate
03:04 that success of a season ago three games under 500 in the
03:09 Reds the up and coming team last year in the Central. He
03:12 should hasn't been pretty as of late. They've dropped eight
03:15 of their last 10 who starts to write the ship today out in
03:18 Phoenix. Yeah, it's really I think Arizona is the play at
03:23 minus 140. It's a lot of juice. So, you know, I tend to if
03:26 I'm going to play this at this level, it may be minus a run
03:28 and a half. There's a couple of different props. I saw that
03:31 I see out there today. Ellie de la Cruz with total bases is
03:34 potentially something to look at and again doesn't have to
03:37 happen in the first five innings. You get to Arizona's
03:39 bullpen thus far not as good as it was last year for the
03:42 Diamondbacks. Ben at the recipe is you go into the winter.
03:45 You sign at water Rodriguez and you have Corbin Carroll and
03:48 you think wow, this is a team that's going to repeat or get
03:51 back there this year. And as they say these best plans don't
03:54 always go the way that they thought but look the Diamondbacks
03:57 at this time last year were not thought to be a contender
03:59 to get to the World Series. I don't even think that they
04:01 were in August or September. So you give them some time Reds
04:04 have been a disappointment. They're going to have to be
04:07 some changes with the Reds if they fall flat at the end of
04:09 the season finishing 810 games under 500. That's not going
04:12 to be an acceptable season for them. Hot start early for
04:15 the Pittsburgh Pirates. See if they can get back that magic
04:17 of the first couple weeks going to take on Milwaukee today.
04:20 It's going to be Perez the lefty versus the big gas pump
04:23 out there in Robert Gasser 20 batters at his face. How
04:26 about this Craig zero iso zero weighted on base percentage.
04:29 We got to love the big gas pump out here as a favorite
04:31 Milwaukee. No. Yeah. I mean he loves Memorial Day too.
04:35 So I mean the schedule is not see any family and just be
04:40 home, you know, maybe gas or won't even be with the team
04:43 on Memorial Day. Don't he doesn't want to be around his
04:45 teammates. He just wants to smoke a cigar. Got to play a
04:48 guy like that today, right? Yeah. He's look heavy. Look
04:51 good in this first start. He looked good in his first
04:53 start. Listen Brewers Brewers are better. I really hope I
04:58 don't know how things are going to go in Milwaukee in the
05:01 next 10 days to get us to Memorial Day or so, but if
05:03 Robert Gasser is getting the stuff for the brew crew on
05:07 Memorial Day and a full MLB slate, we are putting in a
05:10 huge bet a Joe Friso 20 K bet on a gas or and the Brewers
05:16 no play guaranteed each of us. Everybody shake on it. Now.
05:20 Yeah, take on it. Yep. Shake on it. Robert.
05:24 Yeah, I'm going to go the other way. I'm going to try to
05:26 get here. Are you over here? Are you over here? Donnie?
05:28 Who you shaking?
05:33 Good times Robert Gasser the big gas pump for Milwaukee
05:38 today for MLB talk now just to update a few things here
05:42 with a new guy that has been added to the early line MLB
05:45 roster of our favorites around the bigs the big gas pump
05:50 Robert Gasser who was sensational in his first start
05:53 of the year on Friday against the Cardinals six innings of
05:56 shutout work only allowing two hits. We said that on
06:00 Memorial Day if Robert Gasser gets to start for
06:03 Milwaukee, it's a 20 K bet here on the early line. He
06:07 starts today for the Brew crew against the Pirates. He
06:10 is slated to start on Tuesday next week against Miami.
06:14 If there are no scratches and things follow a regular
06:18 schedule. We think Robert Gasser starts on Memorial Day
06:22 Monday, May 27th against the Chicago Cubs. It's a crypto
06:27 platinum players Joe Leasy would say. Yeah, the big gas
06:31 pump man. You got to get him got to get him while he's
06:32 hot at this point. You can make that first trip around
06:34 the National League's if you could be filthy and dominant
06:37 and maybe he can be an adopted son of this program. Just
06:40 like we brought over Vinny P. We could have a whole
06:41 family here. We have a whole family. We're going to have
06:45 a whole family Vinny Pasquantino the past watch
06:47 Vinny P. We've got our guy Lucas Gill not to be confused
06:51 with Louise Heal the starter for the Yanks and now maybe
06:54 Robert Gasser depending on if we get that Memorial Day
06:57 start in just about a week and a half. All right back
07:00 to the Daily Diamond Dash here on this Wednesday on
07:03 the early line the California rivals the California contest
07:06 up in Northern California. So far the Dodgers have been
07:10 dominant to start this opening midweek series yesterday
07:13 a 10-2 victory over the Giants in San Francisco LA on
07:18 the road. Once again today over the Gigantes Logan Webb
07:22 on the bump though, LA remains a slight road favorite
07:26 minus 136 has the starter for the Dodgers been named.
07:30 I see I'm seeing a Ryan Yarborough listed here on a couple
07:34 outlets going against Logan Webb today. So that's what
07:36 we're looking at. So not a dominant starter at this
07:38 point, but the handicap should be pretty simple as well.
07:41 Most people are going to look at the Dodger like, oh,
07:42 that's a cheap price to take but we are in Arkansas
07:45 Ben. What do they do? What do they do at Arkansas?
07:48 They call them hogs. He said that doesn't make any sense
07:50 that doesn't fit this game. No, because we're going to
07:52 call them dogs today, baby. That's the San Francisco
07:55 Giants on that dog price today. We'll look with this.
07:57 They come on. Was that perfect? Segway autumn hogs
08:00 called him dogs dog play today, baby. Come on now.
08:03 Come on. I mean you take a look at the pitching matchup
08:06 is absolutely sensational on the mound this year. 25
08:11 batters called him dogs out here, baby. Let's go.
08:15 Whoa.
08:17 Big Giants. That's how you finish up the call to the
08:23 dogs today in San Francisco.
08:26 Listen, I did not expect I truly did not expect that
08:30 to be where you go the finale of this series. The Dodgers
08:33 looking for the sweep over San Francisco La returns
08:37 home to host the Cincinnati Reds and a four-game weekend
08:40 set following this game against San Francisco that
08:43 Donnie believes will go the way of the Giants. That
08:46 was really good. You know, sometimes you build something
08:49 up Donnie you start to allude to something and lead
08:52 into something and I have no idea where you're going
08:55 like Robert gas or the big gas pump and then a call
08:58 to the hogs for Arkansas. So what is what is going on
09:02 here? What is he doing to call them dogs today between
09:05 the Giants and the Dodgers sensational really proud
09:08 of you great to work alongside a day baseball game
09:11 this afternoon out in the Pacific Northwest between
09:14 the Mariners and the Royals the M's a favorite minus
09:18 146 as they were yesterday. KC one outright as a dog
09:23 total today, just seven and a half. Now also we can
09:27 have some fun with this as well. This is right off
09:28 the top of my head. I mean, I should be you know,
09:30 a comedian at this point you take a look at the
09:32 picture on the mound here for the Mariners, right
09:34 Rick Flair son out here. Why Brian who is on the
09:38 mound today? So I had to get that one out of the
09:40 way, but at the same time if you're locking this
09:42 one up look at this season, but he's only faced 15
09:44 batters. So you can't really go off of that. But
09:46 let's go back to last year 178 left-handed batters.
09:49 He's faced. He's a right-handed pitcher 258 ISO
09:51 weighted on base percentage 403. So I ask you right
09:55 now Ben already left-handed batters in that lineup
09:58 that you might be looking towards today for those
10:00 Kansas City Royals that have been absolutely
10:02 dominating gets right-handed pitching. That's
10:04 our guy Vinny P a 209 ISO power number and a 337
10:07 weighted on base percentage. Now granted we're
10:10 hoping woo from last year translates to this year
10:13 from the left-hand side. And if he does Vinny P
10:15 should be one of those guys. They should have on
10:17 your card today for an RBI. Not sure if I will
10:19 because I like to look at this year statistics,
10:21 but based on last year, right got a legitimate
10:23 chance to do some damage today.
10:25 I mean with all this conversation about our
10:28 TEL MLB guys. I feel like Vinny P is a must bet
10:32 to record a Ribby has today in that game in Seattle
10:36 our final game that we had to break down, but we
10:39 had too much fun with the jokes Tanner. How has
10:41 been since a under for Boston this year the Red
10:45 Sox - 134 DRS likes the under of that total of
10:49 eight between the Rays and the Sox.
