Friday's MLB Matchups: Previewing a Massive Slate on the Diamond
Transcript
00:00Michael Lorenzen for Kansas City.
00:05Nick Martinez goes for the Reds, minus 135 for Cincinnati, plus a buck 15 for the Royals
00:12and a big 9.5.
00:13Yeah, this is a hard game if you ask me.
00:21The Reds are coming off a sweep.
00:23I guess I got to stick with the Reds, a great American at home over the Royals.
00:27I mean, I think the Royals are a better team than the Reds, but Lorenzen, you know, we
00:33haven't seen him pitch for them, right?
00:35Like this will be the first time, is that the gist of it?
00:39I think he's had a couple of chances with them since the trade deadline.
00:43And he hasn't done anything.
00:45He hasn't been good.
00:46He has not been good.
00:47Give me the Reds.
00:48We are going to absolutely go after our boy Lorenzen later on.
00:54We'll squeeze one more in.
00:55We mentioned the Yankees and the Tigers.
00:57They will be in Detroit at Comerica.
01:00Garrett Cole for the Yankees tonight.
01:03Bo Briskey is the starter.
01:05He's really the opener for Detroit.
01:08They pretty much go with whenever Briskey starts, he pitches an inning or two and then
01:12someone else comes in.
01:13As of right now, minus 200 for the Yanks, plus 165 for the Tigers and an 8.5 there.
01:21You know what?
01:22Run line the Yankees, but I'm expecting Cole to get jacked a little.
01:26He gives up home runs.
01:28So I like runs over eight and the Yankees run line.
01:33We'll go to PNC where the Pirates really need to get off the deck.
01:39They of course have lost.
01:41Where are they at now, Sky?
01:42Nine in a row?
01:43Ten in a row?
01:44I've lost track.
01:45Ten in a row.
01:46Ten in a row, the Pirate losing streak.
01:47The Mariners are actually coming in after getting banged up in Detroit the last few
01:52days.
01:53Great pitching matchup tonight as we will have Paul Skeens against Logan Whatseed and
01:58Gilbert Grape.
02:00Minus 120 for the Buccos, even money for the Mariners and of course a low six and a half
02:05with the great pitching matchup.
02:06Yeah, listen, I won't deny it's a great pitching matchup, but I have to take Seattle and even
02:14money odds based on not only what's eating Gilbert Grape with a 2.9 ERA.
02:22You see Skeens has gone from a 1.9 to a 2.25 ERA in his last two starts.
02:29I think the kid has hit a wall and they're not winning when he pitches anymore.
02:35And I think you're starting to see him show signs of fatigue going every five days.
02:41And I think the Mariners are, you know, they're a playoff team.
02:46They're winning games.
02:47They're tough.
02:48And the Pirates have lost ten in a row and they can't get out of their own way.
02:51I'm going to go Seattle.
02:53I want Skeens to win.
02:54I'm not feeling it.
02:56You know, ever since he was consistently by the all-star break going seven innings, he
03:01had that one start after the all-star break.
03:03Remember he pitched into the ninth and ended up losing it.
03:06You know, Shelton left him in the game in the ninth inning against the Cardinals.
03:10Since then, six innings, five and a third, six innings, he just hasn't been going as
03:18deep into the games.
03:20And even the strikeout counts have gone down a little bit here.
03:24Tonight, for over seven and a half, minus 180, nine strikeouts is plus 110 for him to
03:30get there.
03:31So, some big numbers.
03:32And Seattle does strike out a lot.
03:34Remember that too.
03:35If you're going to bet the false skews.
03:36What do you think of the under six and a half with these two pitchers?
03:42I kind of like the over, honestly.

07:57wild card I mean they are a hot mess right now right they got to turn it
08:02around tonight they are a hot mess and that listen this is the type of team
08:07when you're supposed to be in it right you're supposed to be in the mix you get
08:12a team like this in your building this weekend you got to take them all that's
08:17the sweet you got you got win every game against a team like this because it's
08:20getting late in the year and there's not going to be many more opportunities for
08:23that the twins are in Arlington again against the Rangers Simeon Woods
08:27Richardson against Andrew Heaney the pitching matchup Rangers minus 120 even
08:33money for the twins and an eight and a half I mean I wouldn't bet on this guy
08:38Heaney if they gave away free pizza for life honestly that's how much I
08:44disrespect him he's awful I think the twins are the buy in fact I bet him this
08:49morning and I think Woods Richardson's pretty decent he's got a you know mid
08:54threes ERA a lot of work a lot of innings a lot of strikeouts let's go I'm
09:01going twins they're coming off you know last night they won that game 3-2 I'm
09:06gonna go back to the well the White Sox head to Houston to see the Astros this
09:13weekend the Astros have won eight in a row and now they have the White Sox in
09:16their backyard it'll be Spencer Arrighetti against Garrett don't call me
09:21Davy Crockett because my name is crochet going for the White Sox minus 280 for
09:27Houston plus 225 for Chicago and a seven and a half look at a juicy run line you
09:33still got to pay a buck thirty to lay the run and a half that's how little
09:37chance the White Sox have tonight at minute made and I like the over because
09:45the White Sox get pounded every night when they beat the Yankees it's the one
09:50miracle they've had the entire season let's go party Southsiders or whatever
09:55the guy yelled they just don't win doesn't matter if this guy pitches we've
10:00already had this discussion he can pitch every five days it doesn't matter they
10:03don't win he got smashed last time out the Cubs scored like nine runs off of
10:08him last time he pitched so he's the most overrated pitcher literally in
10:14baseball all I hear about is this guy Crockett crochet he's overrated and he's
10:21a prima donna and there's nothing I enjoy more than watching some guy that's
10:27overrated that's a prima donna get you know knocked around the Guardians are in
10:33Milwaukee against the Brewers Gavin Williams and Aaron Savalle gets us going
10:38tonight this also pick up minus 110 on both sides at an eight and a half I got
10:44to stick with the Brewers based on you know the last two games with the
10:48Dodgers they're at home look I think the Guardians are really tough but I'm gonna
10:53keep the Milwaukee roll going here and particularly Mike at that price at minus
10:59a buck five I like what it's a fair value the Dodgers are in st. Louis
11:05against the Cardinals it'll be miles me for the Redbirds I know the Dodgers are
11:11still trying to figure out who they're going with although I think they've
11:14decided on Robleski is going to start which means that that's probably going
11:20to be more of an opener situation he's gone four or five innings each time he's
11:24gone out but it looks like Justin Robleski is going to get the ball here
11:28Dodgers minus 150 plus 125 for the Redbirds and a nine and a half yeah I
11:35like the over the nine and a half again I like the Dodgers on the run line I
11:39don't care who's pitching bottom line is both of these guys have gigantic
11:44ERAs I expect runs it's gonna be hot as you know hell they're humid the ball
11:50carries at that place like no other give me the over and the Dodgers run line
