- 0:12What's going on everybody? Eric Linquist
- 0:14at Stoastic here on the Odd Chopper
- 0:16channel coming to you with a post
- 0:18Tuesday edition of Wednesday's MLB
- 0:20Lindy's leans, likes, and locks. Hit
- 0:21that like button, subscribe button,
- 0:23notification bell goes a long way for me
- 0:25on this video. Goes a long way for you.
- 0:26That way you become apprised whenever
- 0:28Greg content is going live here at our
- 0:30little neck of the YouTube woods. Ended
- 0:32up just like a tiny bit up. I had a
- 0:33prize pick card that hit. They kind of
- 0:35salvaged some of the other prize pick
- 0:37shots. Ended up having Mickey Mano yard
- 0:39here on this video which was the big big
- 0:41win. Had a couple of other great calls.
- 0:43Shodi Managa and then if you follow me
- 0:45on X or you follow me in the Discord
- 0:47there. I wish I had played it heavier. I
- 0:50thought we were going to get a
- 0:50ridiculous catcher situation. We got a
- 0:52Gustin Ramirez and he wasn't even the
- 0:54problem there. Jansen Junk just lost
- 0:56track of PCA. Ended up cashing his
- 0:59stolen base. Was hoping for a little bit
- 1:00more. Thought it might be a day he got
- 1:02the old 40 out of the way, but he's
- 1:04sitting on 39. We'll obviously talk
- 1:06about him a little bit later, but let's
- 1:08talk about this. I'm going to fly
- 1:10through this. This should be less than a
- 1:1120-minute program. Today we got Lindy
- 1:1335, 35% off a month of the Lindy and
- 1:16Friends Discord and Lindy 25. If you

- 1:29of great stuff coming your way over at
- 1:31Odd Shop. We're very excited to share
- 1:33all of that with you. I'll be in Chicago
- 1:35at the beginning of next week. Hell,
- 1:37might be taking in some playoff
- 1:38baseball. We shall see. But we got a lot
- 1:40to get to for 16 games. However, not a
- 1:44lot of volume, quite a few plays. That's
- 1:47kind of the way that we're going to go
- 1:48about this on a day I think that there's
- 1:50a lot of variance, a day that there's
- 1:52going to be a lot of things that we need
- 1:53to keep in mind and some lines have
- 1:55already started to get hammered into
- 1:58place here night before. I'm recording
- 2:00to you right before 1:00 a.m. Eastern,
- 2:021000 p.m. Pacific. So, with that, let's
- 2:04have another decent day. You know,
- 2:06again, decent days, late September.
- 2:08These are all right. And then playoff
- 2:09baseball starts and playoffs I turn into
- 2:11a menace, an absolute menace in the MLB
- 2:15streets. And well, I've been kind of a
- 2:17menace the entire year with the
- 2:19exception of July. [ __ ] July. All right,
- 2:21let's get ourselves to the place, shall
- 2:22we? Yeah, it's that time. All righty,
- 2:26let's get flying through it. We got a
- 2:27double header now. We had a rain out. I
- 2:29talked about how bad that rain was.
- 2:31Hopefully, you didn't fire in your
- 2:32parlays. I don't know why my hair just
- 2:34stupid today. But anyway, Kirk Guerrero
- 2:37Jr., I get that some of them looked okay
- 2:39on prize picks. We'll see what they look
- 2:41like here night before. Shout out my guy
- 2:43J Metal K. does a lot of great work. But
- 2:45got to check that weather report because
- 2:47it's no question about it. There's no
- 2:49question about it that it was going to
- 2:50be like a rain out situation in
- 2:52Baltimore on Tuesday. Looks a little bit
- 2:54better for Wednesday. Not in like a I
- 2:57mean, it couldn't have been any worse.
- 2:58It's like 12% for tomorrow. So, they're
- 3:00going to get both games in. I don't
- 3:02think any issue about it. So, Max Sher,
- 3:04Chris Basset. What does change is this
- 3:07is now a double header. We're at the
- 3:08tail end of the year and maybe this
- 3:10gives a little bit more leash to Max
- 3:12Scherzer to go out and try to spin one
- 3:15against potentially a weaker Orioles
- 3:17lineup. I do think that they probably
- 3:18roll out the 18 though for the first
- 3:20game. Maybe rest some dudes including
- 3:22Pete Alonzo in that second game unless
- 3:24they just want to try to stat chase for
- 3:26him. You can't win MVP. It's going to be
- 3:30Yordon Alvarez. You hit a bomb tonight
- 3:32and Houston absolutely slaughtered
- 3:33Seattle. So there's that. But Toronto
- 3:36money line in the early window. I do
- 3:37think Sherzer and Basset is much closer
- 3:39than that. Not quite a coin flip for me.
- 3:43I want to deploy this. I'm not going to
- 3:45deploy this. And in the second game, we
- 3:46get CJ Van up against Trey Gibson. Not
- 3:49going to be a lot of Van here in this
- 3:50specific spot. For those who don't know
- 3:52who he is, he's a bullpen arm. He has
- 3:55gotten up to three and a third innings
- 3:57earlier in this season. Went through
- 3:58some of his specific stuff. He's been at
- 4:01AAA Buffalo. It's going to be a bullpen
- 4:03game for Toronto in this second one. So,
- 4:05they probably don't want to just abuse
- 4:07anybody on a double header, especially
- 4:09when you're completely out of
- 4:10contention. Same thing could be said for
- 4:12the Orioles. Like, eat up your innings,
- 4:15go about your work, and get the hell up
- 4:17out of there. That's kind of the goal
- 4:19for this game. So, Toronto money line on
- 4:21the second half of it here at - 108.
- 4:24Kind of wild to see game two also
- 4:26sitting pretty split here considering
- 4:27Van you're getting a bullpen game on
- 4:30Toronto as opposed to Trey Gibson who
- 4:32I'm assuming the Orioles want to have
- 4:34eat up some innings. We'll see some of
- 4:35the usage of game one. I'm always a big
- 4:38proponent of paying attention to it. I
- 4:39wish I mean I had the flip-flop correct
- 4:42on on Tuesday with the New York Yankees
- 4:45Tampa Bay. They end up clinching it
- 4:46there in that second game. Drew Rasmusen
- 4:49pitched a gem almost deployed his Ks and
- 4:51uh I'm a coward. I'm a coward,
- 4:53especially this time of year. But
- 4:54Nationals, Tigers, Will Dion, and Framal
- 4:57is actually not true. I'm just big- time
- 4:59NFL. And also MLB, I understand the
- 5:03variance of it and how frustrated you
- 5:05can get when it's like, you love this
- 5:07thing. You love this thing. And I'm
- 5:08like, yeah, I might have a lock that
- 5:10shows up on Thursday or Friday. I don't
- 5:12know. I don't see any here on Wednesday.
- 5:15But we get Framber. We've been attacking
- 5:17him pretty much this entire season. He's
- 5:19been a disappointment, but getting more
- 5:21ground balls of late, I don't think I
- 5:24need to force Washington here in this
- 5:25spot. We're going to get more of the
- 5:26righty heavy lineup. Obviously, Abrams
- 5:28would up against Anderson ended up being
- 5:30pretty effective. And CJ Abrams 100
- 5:32RBI's,
- 5:34bunch of I mean, just 3030. I mean, this
- 5:38is a ridiculous statline from CJ Abrams.
- 5:41Padres's you lost the one sodto trade.
- 5:44Just going to throw it out there. Twins
- 5:46Giants with Connor Preip. Ulip, I lip
- 5:48prelip against Cesar Peromo. Not a lot
- 5:53to talk about in this one. Minnesota
- 5:54money line. I looked at pre-lip in terms
- 5:57of strikeout stuff, but they could
- 5:58deploy a full bullpen situation. Taj
- 6:00Bradley pitched pretty deep into this
- 6:02game today. Pitched pretty decently.
- 6:04Obviously didn't get the strikeouts. And
- 6:07well, I wasn't going to deploy the
- 6:08strikeouts, but he got it to 103
- 6:10pitches. This is a pretty rested Twins
- 6:12bullpen. And this Giants lineup that
- 6:14they roll out every day makes my head
- 6:16spin. It is so bad. But Purdom's not
- 6:19horrendous. Giants bullpen not her. I
- 6:23mean, they're pretty bad.
- 6:25It's why they're, you know, they've been
- 6:28out of the playoffs for like a month and
- 6:29a half. Anyway, Brewers Phillies going l
- 6:32Let's talk some real baseball, shall we?
- 6:34Logan Henderson. Arinola got a double
- 6:36dip in this one. Now, Logan Henderson,
- 6:39this is a guy who generally has a lot of
- 6:40strikeout stuff. I don't love it in this
- 6:42specific spot because the Brewers are
- 6:44now going to be one game up on the Los
- 6:47Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers won, the
- 6:49Brewers lost. Zack Wheeler struck out
- 6:51the first seven of the game today. And
- 6:54Aarinola has that kind of stuff. If they
- 6:56roll out a very similar lineup to what
- 6:58they had today, oh my god, Arinola is in
- 7:02store for strikeouts. So, I think plus
- 7:04112 is a pretty decent spot. Arinola has
- 7:07pitched so much better at home over the
- 7:10course of the last month and the home
- 7:11road splits are pretty pronounced. Such
- 7:13a good ballpark for lefty power. It's
- 7:15not all that surprising if I'm being
- 7:16honest. But Philly Money Line plus 124
- 7:19went quarter quarter. Nothing crazy, but
- 7:21a half deployed in the game. It's higher
- 7:24than most. Higher than most. That's my
- 7:27Tiger Woods call. Matthew Libertore and
- 7:29Cade Curtis. Cade Curtis talked about
- 7:31him quite a bit his last time out. If
- 7:33you missed any of the blurbs, you're not
- 7:34missing a lot here. Here's the main
- 7:37thing about this game. We have weather
- 7:39again where the wind is blowing in 12
- 7:42mph, 13 mph. It is going to be very
- 7:45advantageous pitching weather for either
- 7:47of these fine individuals.
- 7:50And the thing about Liberator is that he
- 7:52is probably due for pain and sadness in
- 7:54other spots. But 72, 69, 81 pitches,
- 7:59those are his last three that we've seen
- 8:01out of him. I read those off out of
- 8:03order, so I apologize to everybody
- 8:05involved. But it could also be Lake BAR
- 8:07that ends up getting the start for the
- 8:09Pirates and Kate Curtis ends up eating
- 8:11it behind it. That makes it tough to
- 8:13like anything on the St. Louis side.
- 8:15We've got crazy amounts of hold on a JJ
- 8:18Weatherhold who continues to lead off,
- 8:20but also they're only letting play like
- 8:22six, seven innings at a time. What in
- 8:25the world? So under seven and a half, I
- 8:26ended up deploying. It's great pitching
- 8:28weather. We finally get the card rolling
- 8:30in a nice way here. Back-to-back plays,
- 8:32well, two plays in the last game, one
- 8:34here as well. I think it's a great
- 8:36weather spot. PNC, despite what we've
- 8:38seen from the lefties, the Brandon Laos,
- 8:40the Spencer Horowitz's, and my boy Ryan
- 8:43O'Harn. Well, Brandon Laau's my boy,
- 8:45too, but haven't been able to bet him as
- 8:47much at the prices this year. Under
- 8:49seven and a half at even money is very
- 8:51nice. Great ballpark for pitching. Libra
- 8:55tour, don't f us over. raisin Yankees.
- 9:00I think Scar said it best. Be prepared.
- 9:04Watch The Lion King with my daughter.
- 9:06She's like five months old now, but you
- 9:08know, Disney sing along is pretty legit.
- 9:11Also, when he goes up on Pride Rock
- 9:13Simba at the very end, got emotional. It
- 9:15was fantastic stuff. Got to rewatch some
- 9:18of that stuff. I didn't watch a lot of
- 9:21Disney growing up. I was too busy
- 9:22watching Sports Center like 48 times.
- 9:25I'd watch it night before and then I'd
- 9:27watch it at like 7 a.m. before school,
- 9:28but that's a conversation for a
- 9:29different day. Oh my god, weird that I
- 9:31would end up betting for a living. But
- 9:33Ian Seymour and Garrick Cole, I look at
- 9:35the Ian Seymour side. I don't expect a
- 9:37full workload for him. Here's why. Tampa
- 9:40Bay clinches the AL East and the one
- 9:42seed.
- 9:45Why would you push Ian Seymour? This is
- 9:47an arm you obviously care about and Drew
- 9:48Rasmusen, Nick Martinez, Ian Seymour.
- 9:52I'm very curious to see who the two
- 9:53three guys are in specific scenarios,
- 9:55but they avoid the two of three series
- 9:58and they're going to be playing three of
- 9:59five when we see the Rays come back in
- 10:02action. And I think Ian Seymour is a
- 10:04part of that. I think you want to be
- 10:06sticking away. And if you're going to
- 10:07give me a watered down Rays lineup after
- 10:09a champagne evening, give me some
- 10:12Yankees money line potentially at minus
- 10:15157. I know it's a little bit more
- 10:17juiceheavy for some of y'all, but here's
- 10:19the thing. just north of the 60%
- 10:20expected win percentage. I'm kind of
- 10:23fine with it. The problem is Garrick
- 10:24Cole's been so home run and the Rays
- 10:27have to roll out somebody and you're
- 10:28going to get the Richie Palasios, the
- 10:30Victor Mesa Juniors, these guys who have
- 10:32been like longot home run darlings for a
- 10:35lot of people over on X. I haven't bet a
- 10:37ton of them over the course of this
- 10:38season. In fact, have I bet either of
- 10:40them in like the last three months? I
- 10:44don't think so. I'm looking at my sheet
- 10:46right now. Let me type in Richie.
- 10:49Nope. Never bet him. And Victor Mesa.
- 10:54I bet him. Okay. Twice. One for one.
- 10:57Plus 800. That's fun. I like Victor
- 10:59Mesa. Okay, cool. Thanks, buddy.
- 11:02Appreciate you. But the point is, these
- 11:05are not your everyday guys. You might
- 11:06get Camono resting. You might get Diaz
- 11:08resting. You might get a resting. Maybe
- 11:11some Garrick Cole. But the Yankees are
- 11:13stuck at the four. So, like no matter
- 11:15what they do, I can't convince you. For
- 11:16once, just to hear me out. Shout out
- 11:18Lincoln Park. We got Guardians, Red Sox,
- 11:20Foster Griffin, and Sunny Gray. Same
- 11:22thing applies here. Copy paste. Red Sox
- 11:25have nothing to play for. They're in the
- 11:27playoffs. They're a wild card team. The
- 11:30Rays just won the division. Yankees, Red
- 11:32Sox, done. It's completely done.
- 11:35Cleveland has everything to play for.
- 11:37The White Sox just got done playing one
- 11:38of the dumbest games I've watched in a
- 11:40while. 1411.
- 11:42How did I not get I mean 1411 in
- 11:46Kaufman. That's the [ __ ] I was waiting
- 11:48for this entire summer.
- 11:50You jackasses. Anyway, we got ourselves
- 11:53Foster Griffin. I ended up deploying
- 11:56five plus K's just for a small amount.
- 11:58I'm not expecting the best Red Sox
- 12:00lineup in the entire world. And maybe
- 12:02you move Trevor Story up trying to give
- 12:04him a little bit of confidence here
- 12:05heading into the postseason. These are
- 12:07the hopes that I have. It's only a
- 12:10quarter unit. Do not go crazy with this.
- 12:12I don't have any big stand on it. I
- 12:14think it's a very difficult game to bet.
- 12:16And Foster Griffin 14 and a half outs
- 12:18prop. I do lean the over, but I don't
- 12:20really like it. God, it's a hard spot
- 12:22with a lot of heavy hold. And yeah, we
- 12:25have prediction markets, but the the
- 12:26hold is pretty large over there, too.
- 12:28Outside of the 7% realm night before,
- 12:31that's a big big number. Stick away. You
- 12:34know, TLC, don't go chasing waterfalls.
- 12:37Please stick to the rivers and the lakes
- 12:38you're used to. Reds Braves, Andrew
- 12:40Rabbit. I promise we got a home run play
- 12:41coming up a little bit. I promise. Do I
- 12:45promise? I'm I'm pretty sure I promise.
- 12:48I've got one. He's old. It'll be fun.
- 12:51But Andrew Abbott and Chris Sale, I do
- 12:53expect home runs to some extent. I mean,
- 12:55Andrew Abbott, same thing that we had
- 12:57from Brandon Williamson where some of
- 12:58those lefties just give up massive power
- 13:01or he gives a massive power to him.
- 13:04However, today that was not the case and
- 13:06the Braves just decided to take a big
- 13:07dookie in the middle of their own into
- 13:09Oh, that's my dog's name. I shouldn't
- 13:11say that. They took a big fat [ __ ] in
- 13:14the middle of the field and wowzer the
- 13:16Reds. Blitz Creek pop crew stolen base
- 13:19home run. Just ridiculous stuff.
- 13:21Ridiculous stuff. Over was dead on
- 13:24arrival. Very small play, but you know,
- 13:26I want to win everything that I bet.
- 13:28Atlanta, I'm looking at some alternate
- 13:30stuff here. I think Chris Sail on the
- 13:31mound ridiculous. His K-props inflated
- 13:35to a place I don't really want to deal
- 13:36with. Plus,
- 13:38they're probably Wednesday into Tuesday.
- 13:42Like, there's a world where you just
- 13:44want to put him in bubble wrap.
- 13:47Kind of lean the under on that. But then
- 13:49more bullpen heavy and the Reds strike
- 13:51out a bajillion times to everybody. I'm
- 13:53looking at some alternate Atlanta spread
- 13:56goodness. But
- 13:58very tough game to bet in my opinion.
- 14:00Eric Fetty and Seth Lugo. Uh while this
- 14:03is a tough game to bet and I definitely
- 14:06feel that way, I just watched 1411 and
- 14:09Eric Fetty is horrible. Seth Lugo
- 14:11reversed Splitzy. I mean, I'm curious to
- 14:14see this White Sox lineup cuz we got a
- 14:16very righty platoon heavy situation with
- 14:18Fam Gritic who went ballistic and
- 14:21Britain Doyle who also went yard in
- 14:23Kaufman here today. Maybe they like the
- 14:25batter's eye having a little waterfall
- 14:27in the background and you know
- 14:29aesthetically pleasing and then also the
- 14:31fences being in that probably helps the
- 14:32most. But over eight and a half it's
- 14:34inside of standard vig as such on DK
- 14:37must be deployed minus 107 just.3 units
- 14:40but the whole point here is Eric Fetty
- 14:43not really buying into him by any means.
- 14:45Both teams deployed enough bullpen arms
- 14:48here. Anthony Kay was not long for that
- 14:49one. Never felt like he was long for
- 14:51that one. ended up pushing. If you ended
- 14:53up getting in that prize picks under
- 14:54four and a half or sorry, under fourks,
- 14:57it was gone by the time I got done
- 14:59recording. But hey, we at least did a
- 15:00six actor there to, you know, pay for
- 15:02all my sins and then some. But over
- 15:04eight and a half, I think it's an all
- 15:06right spot to dip your toes into. I
- 15:08think Casey still rolls out their A-
- 15:09lineup for another day. Marlins, Cubs,
- 15:12guys, PCA, beautiful stuff. Shy Managa,
- 15:16beautiful stuff. And I get that Kevin
- 15:18Gausman was listed a bunch of places and
- 15:20a lot of people DM'd me saying, "Oh, Sha
- 15:23is not going to pitch today. I have
- 15:24Kevin Gausman on ESPN." Guys, there are
- 15:27multiple reports for different things.
- 15:29Some sites use what the pitcher should
- 15:32be based on previous starts. There's
- 15:34like a rotation to things. Then there's
- 15:36the people who go to just MLB.com, go
- 15:39straight to the source, and if it's
- 15:40official there, it's official
- 15:41everywhere. Not necessarily true in
- 15:43either regard. You got to use your best
- 15:45judgment. Plus some teams that have
- 15:47things to play for like the Dodgers.
- 15:49They're keeping it closer to the vest
- 15:51and we have to try to decide what is
- 15:53real and what is not. I have no qualms
- 15:55about Jackson Merrill being on the home
- 15:57run card. Do I wish he went yard? Yes.
- 15:59Does every plus 500 plus 475 play hit?
- 16:03No. In fact, they're far more likely to
- 16:06not hit than hit. It's price and
- 16:08probability at the end of the day. All
- 16:10that I'm saying here is that you need to
- 16:13understand I've done this for over a
- 16:15decade. I've been doing this on video
- 16:17for you for over six years. I'm giving
- 16:19you the best explanation I can every
- 16:21single time. And I had Kevin Gausman in
- 16:24this box and I put Shi Managa as the
- 16:26play as the guy that I bet because I bet
- 16:27him knowing full well that if he ends up
- 16:30being scratched, I just get voided. Who
- 16:32gives a [ __ ] Now on prize picks, you
- 16:34have to be a little bit more specific
- 16:36about it. I felt pretty confident that
- 16:38they wanted to roll out Shota in a
- 16:40straight wind situation where there was
- 16:43no doubt he was going to be better off.
- 16:45And this one you're better off with
- 16:47Kevin Gausman because the wind's coming
- 16:48in 15 mph from right field. Now Kevin
- 16:52Gausman gives up some of those oppo oppo
- 16:54taco shots. Definitely going to be
- 16:56getting some of the more lefty heavy
- 16:57lineups where you pull a baseball
- 16:59against a righty. Boom. Tough acting
- 17:02tenactton. So righties with the oppo
- 17:04taco and the lefties. Everybody's going
- 17:06to be pulling it directly into that wind
- 17:08here in this specific spot.
- 17:10And yet we have Ryan Gusto there with
- 17:12Nicoer. Nico her I'm not worried about
- 17:15having to hit the ball out of the yard.
- 17:17All I'm worried about can I get Nicoer
- 17:18to the 56 hole every single time because
- 17:21he is an ex wobb. He is going to be one
- 17:23of those guys for this Cubs lineup.
- 17:25Unsung hero. When you have Bregman who
- 17:27got drilled in the face and obviously
- 17:29won't be playing baseball the next
- 17:30couple days, but when you have Nico her
- 17:32there m me m me m me m me m me m me m me
- 17:34m me m me m me so her just finds ways to
- 17:36be effective in these spots and against
- 17:38Gust not all that good of a pitcher. I
- 17:41feel pretty confident even with the wind
- 17:42in he is the least effective ball player
- 17:45outside of maybe Jacob Marcy but he has
- 17:48Kevin Gausman who I actually respect
- 17:49quite a bit for what he's done in the
- 17:51second half of the season with his
- 17:53splitter. It's starting to come back to
- 17:55life. Wake me up and I can't wake up.
- 17:58That's Evan Essence. We've got a lot of
- 17:592000s uh hits coming your way on this
- 18:01program. Nolan Mlan and Cody Bradford.
- 18:05Mets and Rangers. Rangers. Wowzer, guys.
- 18:09Absolutely screwing the pooch. Lose to
- 18:10the Mets. The Mets have been playing
- 18:12good baseball for like a month. I don't
- 18:13know if you've been paying attention.
- 18:15I've been paying attention ever so
- 18:16slightly. I just want Bo Bashette to go
- 18:18yard when all my other underdog guys go
- 18:20yard. Like he's been the bugaboo for me
- 18:23this year. But, you know, once again,
- 18:25it's price and probability. No regrets.
- 18:28#no regrets just right across the chest.
- 18:31But Nolan McClean, I got to imagine he's
- 18:33not going to be long for this game. He
- 18:35has an opening number five and a halfks
- 18:37on prize picks. Similar to what I talked
- 18:39about with Anthony Kay, similar to what
- 18:41I talked about with a couple of other
- 18:42guys. Kind of like intertwining that
- 18:44analysis here because you can bet a
- 18:46little bit less. you can find some
- 18:48advantageous numbers and there's nothing
- 18:50available at sports books right now for
- 18:51Nolan McLean or at prediction market. So
- 18:54I kind of want to be a little bit early
- 18:55to this one. Might deploy this over on
- 18:57price fix here night before similar to
- 18:59the K thing but it's got to be there
- 19:01when I get done recording because
- 19:02haven't been able to run all my pick
- 19:04them stuff yet. Time it backs Rockies.
- 19:07Similar to yesterday, your great game
- 19:09environment, Sudter Park, Korsfield,
- 19:12Dodger Stadium. Nothing else. And Dodger
- 19:14Stadium is much warmer for tomorrow than
- 19:16what it was on Tuesday, but we'll get to
- 19:18that. Anywh who, Mel Kelly, I really
- 19:21want to do it so bad. I really want to
- 19:23do it so bad. Kind of intertwining my
- 19:26exact analysis. Winner of the day on
- 19:28this program yesterday, Mickey Monia
- 19:30goes yard at plus 475 for everybody.
- 19:32people. Also, two people I guess I I
- 19:35don't want to say it was like a bunch.
- 19:36Two people wanted to let me know that he
- 19:38was batting seventh. I did not give a
- 19:40flying f. Michael Soka pitched
- 19:42unbelievably well. Talked about it on
- 19:44live before lock on the stoastic YouTube
- 19:46channel. I thought Sroka was going to
- 19:48pitch well. That was the whole point is
- 19:50that he still has a couple of warts to
- 19:53guys like Monontiac who loft the ball
- 19:55and find ways of being very, very
- 19:56effective against righties. And even in
- 19:58just two at bats or three at bats, I
- 20:00felt very confident that Mickey Moniac
- 20:02was a good bet.
- 20:04I don't feel as good against Mel Kelly
- 20:06here in this spot purely because the
- 20:07Arizona Diamondbacks, they got
- 20:09everything to play for here in this
- 20:11specific spot. They found a way to win
- 20:12this one. They're going to play it down
- 20:14to the bitter end. While they continue
- 20:16to see their odds diminish, while they
- 20:17continue to see a dip if the Padres's
- 20:19get swept by the Dodgers, some other
- 20:22things happen. The Phillies would have
- 20:23to, you know, fall through a sinkhole in
- 20:25the earth as well. There's a lot that
- 20:27has to break the Arizona Diamondbacks
- 20:29way, but until it does, I think they're
- 20:31going to play it pretty straight up
- 20:32where Mel Kelly maybe isn't crazy long
- 20:34for this game knowing that you're going
- 20:36to have the Wednesday last game
- 20:39afternoon game in Kors going to be I
- 20:41mean this is this is an evening one that
- 20:43we've got here in Wednesday and Kors
- 20:45Thursday into the weekend series to
- 20:47close out.
- 20:49Goodman home run. He's still sitting on
- 20:5139. Did not go yard today. Didn't deploy
- 20:53him but shout out Monontiac the absolute
- 20:55goat. Plus Melo Kelly. You kind of want
- 20:58to deploy lefties against him. Might be
- 21:01another Jake McCarthy underdog shot.
- 21:03Sorry y'all. Wubber Urania. It was 10
- 21:05bucks. It's fine. Were Urania Jeffree
- 21:07Springs. We got ourselves an interesting
- 21:08one here purely because I have won home
- 21:11run play night before and I don't want
- 21:13to do it. Trust me, this is not somebody
- 21:16that I generally over the course of my
- 21:18MLB betting career would say I've had
- 21:20good juju with. I would say I'm down
- 21:23money on Mike uh Mike Trout over the
- 21:25course of my MLB betting career. I just
- 21:28don't see how you don't bet Mike Trout
- 21:30in this specific spot at plus 350. Now
- 21:32he's plus 326. I also noticed over on
- 21:34Underdog. I've got him at crazy short
- 21:38numbers. Now, has he been good over the
- 21:40last 30? No, he has not. Has Jeffrey
- 21:42Springs given up crazy boatloads of
- 21:44power to lefties and righties alike? He
- 21:45sure has. What lefties do you like from
- 21:47the Angels? I will answer for you.
- 21:49Nobody. We continue to like nobody from
- 21:52the left side there. We like Neto. Odds
- 21:55are way too short. And Mike Trout has
- 21:57been unlucky this year. 221 expected ISO
- 22:00to lefties. 157 realized actual ISO.
- 22:05You don't strike him out. Sub 20% care
- 22:08for Jeffree Springs against South or
- 22:09against righties. And this Southpaw is
- 22:11just going to give up bombs. I did like
- 22:13him with Tampa Bay once upon a time.
- 22:15That has gone by the wayside in C Park
- 22:17which is not a fun place to pitch. So,
- 22:19Mike Trout plus 350, your one home run
- 22:21play. Sorry I don't have two of them for
- 22:23you on this card. I'm just not going to
- 22:25force [ __ ] for you. Hopefully, you
- 22:27enjoyed Monontiac and we could just move
- 22:28on with our lives. Eric Pekco, George
- 22:30Kirby. Pekkco will not be long for this
- 22:33one. The Astros will do anything they
- 22:34need to. Plus, they only got what, two
- 22:37innings out of Christian Javier today.
- 22:40He ends up getting pulled with an
- 22:41injury. Didn't matter. Logan Gilbert was
- 22:43the worst DFS play just about ever. I
- 22:46mean, I had like 5% of him at lock.
- 22:49Became very clear he was going to be
- 22:50north of 30% up. But again, we're not
- 22:52talking DFS here. We're talking betting.
- 22:54And George Kirby, if you've heard me
- 22:56talk about him, he's a location
- 22:57specialist. I'm not his biggest fan cuz
- 23:00I don't believe in the stuff. And the
- 23:02strikeout stuff has really fallen by the
- 23:04wayside. I think this is a Houstoner
- 23:06pass. Absolutely. No doubt. Got to have
- 23:09it kind of spot. There's no guarantee. I
- 23:12mean, he's been so bad this year in Cal
- 23:14Raleigh that it maybe doesn't matter,
- 23:15but there's no guarantee you get an A
- 23:17team lineup from the Mariners side. I'm
- 23:20sure they want to play spoilers or maybe
- 23:21at least put up the illusion of playing
- 23:24spoilers, but they're not a good
- 23:25baseball team. And the Astros pretty
- 23:28much in command of that whole one,
- 23:30didn't have to deploy any of their main
- 23:32poppers out of that pen, and they have
- 23:34everything to play for. Raiders lose,
- 23:37they win. These are good things if
- 23:39you're an Astros fan. All 12 of you
- 23:41relative to the entire rest of the
- 23:42league that hates you. But Houston money
- 23:45line, I'm really thinking about that
- 23:47one. That's probably the closest play
- 23:48I've got here on a lean section. That is
- 23:50almost going to make my betting card.
- 23:52But we got ourselves Robbie Ray and
- 23:54Yashi Yashobu Yamamoto to round it all
- 23:57out. Yamamoto gets moved to Wednesday.
- 23:59And we didn't know we got Brock Stewart
- 24:01followed by, you know, Robleski for an
- 24:03inning followed by Suzaki eating up
- 24:05innings. Dodgers went full-on bullpen
- 24:07right from the get-go because they
- 24:10wanted to move Yamamoto to the middle of
- 24:12this and every team is playing the rest
- 24:13of the way. Like there's no days off
- 24:16coming up here the rest of the week.
- 24:18They need Yamamoto eat up some innings.
- 24:20Brewers lose, they win. They're one back
- 24:23for the one seed, which is a huge one
- 24:25seed to get playing through Dodger
- 24:27Stadium throughout the entire playoffs.
- 24:29I know they didn't have to have it
- 24:30during their World Series runs, but it
- 24:33would be ideal to have it if you could,
- 24:36especially as we got our we got our guy
- 24:38uh Otani getting activated for tomorrow.
- 24:41That's the word on the street with that
- 24:43bicep injury. I know he's had the arm
- 24:45issue as well where we're just not going
- 24:47to see him pitch for a long long time.
- 24:49That's my impression, which sucks cuz
- 24:50he's got a splitter that also looks
- 24:53great. But Robbie Ray little bit of a
- 24:54walk specialist. Dotani I expect to be
- 24:56back at top that lineup. Boy oh boy not
- 24:59ideal but Yamamoto I'm expecting some
- 25:02innings eating unless he runs into
- 25:05absolute train wrecks in the middle of
- 25:07this. The Dodgers would love that on
- 25:10Wednesday that they could play the
- 25:12bullpen game where they have had some
- 25:14brutal runouts. I mean Edwin Diaz is
- 25:16down giving up runs to you know your
- 25:19gardener. We've got ourselves so many
- 25:21dudes who just can't find a way to be
- 25:23effective at this point in time for the
- 25:25Dodgers. They would love seven innings
- 25:28out of a Yamamoto in this spot. And
- 25:30that's closer to coin flippy here. The
- 25:33reason I'm not going crazy on this is
- 25:34that the Dodgers will also have the
- 25:37opportunity to know what the Brewers did
- 25:40earlier in the day. So, one of those
- 25:42advantageous West Coast kind of
- 25:44situations. That's why on Sunday they
- 25:46play all the games at the same time. But
- 25:48there will be some scoreboard watching
- 25:50going on with this one. Still think it's
- 25:52worth us deploying a quarter unit. All
- 25:54right. Ended up being 25 minutes. That's
- 25:56That's not so bad. This is definitely
- 25:58not so bad. Lindy 25 25% off. 25% off

- 26:40section below. Let me know your favorite
- 26:42plays that exist on the board for this
- 26:43lovely Wednesday slate that we've got.
- 26:45I'm sure I'm going to have articles up.
- 26:47I had an article up today uh talking you
- 26:49through all the implications of every
- 26:51single game. Think it came in handy. End
- 26:53up staying away from some other plays
- 26:55that I might not have if I had I not
- 26:56researched that night before, but that's
- 26:58kind of the case here. You're going to
- 27:00see some red herring numbers. You're
- 27:01going to see some ridiculous pitching
- 27:03outs props, some ridiculous K props.
- 27:05Keep context alive. Check out that
- 27:07article over at Odd Shopper. I'm going
- 27:09to fire up a new iteration of that
- 27:10tonight. Got to write through it a
- 27:12little bit. got a little bit more work
- 27:13to put in, but I think we did a pretty
- 27:15good job here on the program. So, with
- 27:16that, gonna have some more home runs in
- 27:19uh chat as well.
- 27:21Terrible home run environments yet
- 27:23across the board once again. Wish Pñena
- 27:25had gone yard for me today. Tommy White,
- 27:28this is a long shot. I knew it. But
- 27:30anyway, let's get the heck up out of
- 27:32here. I'll see you guys tomorrow. Until
- 27:33then, I'm Eric Linquist. Best of luck in
- 27:35the MLB Streets on Wednesday, home day.
