Previewing Monday Night's Slate of Action on the Diamond
Transcript
00:00All right, let's get to tonight.
00:04We'll start it and then we'll finish it after the break.
00:06We'll squeeze one in here before we get going.
00:09The Cubs and the Guardians getting together in Cleveland.
00:13Imanaga goes for the Cubbies tonight.
00:16We mentioned in the lion's share that Ben Lively,
00:18who gives up lots of taters, is going for Cleveland.
00:20Cubs minus a buck 20 on the road.
00:23Guardians even money at home and a flat eight.
00:28Yeah, look, I think the Cubs are going to have trouble
00:32scoring runs against Lively in Cleveland.
00:35I'm going to take Cleveland at that price
00:37in their building at plus a buck five.
00:40I know Imanaga is tough,
00:41but I think they're going to have
00:43problems scoring against Cleveland tonight.
00:46Give me the, Guardian, this is the chance for them to,
00:49you know, they split with the twins.
00:52Go home and start winning, honestly.
00:56Cardinals are in Cincinnati against the Reds.
00:58Sonny Gray and Andrew Abbott minus 135 for the Redbirds,
01:02plus 115 for the Reds and an eight and a half.
01:06Yeah, I think, you know, the only way here, again,
01:09this is a run line game for me.
01:11I'm going to lay the run and a half at plus 118
01:13to get some value out of this and make some money.
01:15I'm not laying a buck 45 too juicy.
01:18Why don't we go to Tampa next,
01:19where the Astros are in town for a few days
01:21against the Rays.
01:22Tomber Valdez and Taj Bradley
01:25is the pitching matchup tonight for that one.
01:28Bra, Astros minus a buck 30 right now,
01:30plus 110 for the Rays and a flat seven.
01:36Yeah, I got to tell you, I like the over in this one,
01:39to be honest, speaking of totals, and I like Valdez,
01:42and I don't think it's too pricey either,
01:45at, that's about as high as I'm willing to go
01:47at minus a buck 35 in terms of juice.
01:51The Rangers, after being in the Bronx,
01:54now go up to Boston to see the Red Sox.
01:57Of course, Brian Ballo going for the Red Sox.
01:59Tyler Molle is going for Texas,
02:03minus 125 for Boston, plus 105 for the Rangers,
02:07and a flat nine.
02:10I got to be honest here, the way Texas plays,
02:13I'd be willing to run line this at plus a buck 58
02:15if the Red Sox could score some runs at Fenway.
02:18My God, I mean, if you're going to do it,
02:21why not do it to this guy?
02:24Yeah, they should be able to hit Tyler Molle tonight
02:28at home, that's for sure.
02:30Royals and the Twins, good one in Minneapolis.
02:33Brady Singer and Pablo Lopez, minus 160 for Minnesota,
02:36plus a buck 35 for the Royals and an eight and a half.
02:42I like the Twins on the run line.
02:44You talked about how Singer has struggled mightily
02:47against the Twins.
02:48That's all I need to know.
02:50He gives up lots of hits and homers to the Twins.
02:52Give me that run line at plus a buck 35,
02:55and I'll take the over eight.
02:58Yankees go to Chicago to see the White Sox,
03:01the worst team in baseball.
03:04Louie Heal goes tonight.
03:06Kai Bush going for the White Sox,
03:08minus 350, the heavy lumber game of the night.
03:13White Sox plus 270 and a flat nine.
03:17Yeah, no thanks.
03:18The only way to bet it is the over nine runs
03:21at minus a buck 15.
03:22That's the only way you can go here.
03:23These odds are terrible.
03:26I will tell you this.
03:28Yankees will lose one of these games in Chicago
03:30to the White Sox.
03:31I don't know which one it's gonna be.
03:33Might be tonight, might be tomorrow, might be Wednesday.
03:37They should sweep that team.
03:39They'll lose one of those three games
03:42to the Chicago White Sox.
03:43We'll write that down now.
03:44We'll see if I'm right.
03:45I think they're going to.
03:46You play the White Sox.
03:48I could see it.
03:50I could absolutely see it happening.
03:52Dodgers in Milwaukee,
03:53so a couple of first place teams in the NL.
03:56Clayton Kershaw and Freddy Peralta
03:58are the starters tonight.
04:00Minus 115 for the Dodgers,
04:02minus 105 for the Brewers, and a flat eight.
04:06I gotta be honest with you.
04:07I'm all over the Brewers here.
04:11Everyone's teeing off on Clayton Kershaw.
04:13Every time he goes out, it gets worse.
04:16And now he's on a road against this team in Milwaukee.
04:19How do you not pounce on that minus about five?
04:22I mean, you talk about a price.
04:25I like that value right there.
04:27They're gonna beat him.
04:29I'm with you on that.
04:30I like Milwaukee tonight as well.
04:31The Blue Jays are in Anaheim against the Angels.
04:33The great Bowden Francis goes for Toronto
04:37against the equally impressive Davis Daniel for Anaheim,
04:41who's minus 115.
04:43Blue Jays minus 105 and a flat nine.
04:47You know, I'm gonna take Toronto
04:49based on what Vlade's doing lately.
04:51He's tearing the cover off the ball,
04:54hitting home runs, getting hits every single game,
04:5721 game history, whatever it is.
04:59He just never stops producing for them.
05:01And the Angels are awful and it's a pick-em,
05:04so give me the Jays.
05:06Rockies go to Arizona.
05:08There is some more heavy lumber on the card tonight
05:10as Brandon Fott and the Snakes are minus 300.
05:14Our pal Cal Quantrill goes for Colorado.
05:17They're plus 240 and an eight and a half.
05:20I'll bet the over at eight and a half at minus 115,
05:24that's it.
05:24Those prices are ridiculous on the run line
05:28and the money line's the worst thing ever.
05:30Minus 320, give me a break.
05:32Yeah, that's ridiculous.
05:34I think Arizona can get the over by themselves.
05:37Pirates and the Padres in San Diego.
05:40Joe Musgrove back for the Padres tonight.
05:42Marco Gonzalez for the Buccos.
05:44Minus 200 San Diego, plus 165.
05:46Pirates at a flat eight.
05:49I'm on the Padres here.
05:51Easy money, run line at plus 105 and the over eight.
05:56And it's not that bad of a price at minus 120.
05:58The Pirates are losing every single night now
06:01and they're facing their former guy, Musgrove, in Petco.
06:05And the Padres have been absolutely on fire,
06:08whatever it is, 16 of 19 games.
06:11They're gonna kill them.
06:12Of course, the Braves are reeling right now.
06:14They're clinging on to that last wild card spot
06:18in the National League.
06:19Giants only a couple games back.
06:20This is the start of a four-game series out there.
06:23Chris Sale and Blake Snell, great pitching matchup as well.
06:27Minus 115 for Atlanta.
06:30Minus 105 for Snell and the Giants
06:32and a six and a half on the board.
06:36Listen, I know Sale's a badass
06:40and I don't deny he's been incredible this year,
06:44but he hasn't been of late, right?
06:47Like he hasn't gotten it done lately and neither have they.
06:51And so I think the Giants have been playing
06:54really good baseball and Snell has been unbelievable.
06:57A no hitter, a 15 strikeout game.
07:01And he's pitching at Oracle.
07:03I gotta be honest with you.
07:06I like the Giants here.
07:07And I don't think that price is bad at all.
07:10Minus about 15.
07:11I don't know what it is in other houses,
07:14but I'm going with the Giants.
07:16The Braves just aren't winning.
07:19Braves just are not winning right now.
07:20I'm with you.
07:21I gotta tell you, I kinda like the over too.
07:24Six and a half slow.
07:26You know, all it takes is one of those guys
07:28to get dinged up a little bit.
07:30All it has is one of those guys to not be sharp
07:33and we can get that with, you know,
07:34a five, two game or something.
07:35So I'm gonna take the over with the six and a half.
