7/29 2 Hour: Fantasy Football Training Camp Updates, MLB Trade Deadline

involving Trevor Bauer. This is obviously coming after Bauer launched a baseball into the center field stands in Kansas City when he was pulled by manager Terry Francona. He didn't apologize after the contest. MLB dot COM's John Rose who reports that the Nationals have shown interest in Rangers reliever jos Lecclark and following up on the trade yesterday, the Mets did in fantasy acquire right hand pitcher Marcus Stroman for two minor leaguers. The Mets also got cash considerations

in return. By Van Strafford. This has been your Fantasy Sports Radio Network who's update. Stay tuned to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network for more updates at the top of every hour he sing. Yeah. Now's welcome your host by the pro Line's fun your co host by guy from Saint Francis, Prank Stamp all ladies and tell me your p Yeah thats action ower E's live. He's Frank stample up.

Greg susmen, thanks for tuning in with us here. We have more football news on the way, but some breaking MLB news for you as Jordan Lyles has been sent over from Pittsburgh Pirates to the Milwaukee Brewers. Lyles supposed to start tonight of the Pirates. Obviously he won't. He has to Milwaukee out shore of the return. Yet he helps that rotation immediately, Frank, maybe maybe he helps does he? I don't know. He hasn't really pitched well as of late.

But the Milwaukee Brewers, man, they've been trying to get their hands on any types of any type of pitching that they can they possibly can. They need some length, uh you know, they have guys like Chase Anderson going he's not going very deep into games while he has pitched well, he's just not going very uh deep into games, you know. And losing losing Brandon Woodworff is just that was just a huge blow to the Milwaukee Brewers, as he was pitching so well earlier on in the season,

So they have a void. You know. I still think that they're going to be active. They might even bring in some more starting pitching. I've seen them linked to Robbie Ray as well, so, uh, it'll see, we'll see what they do ultimately. But um, those are the team that has a great offense, a great lineup, but they kind of see things slipping away here in the National League Central because they cannot get anything from their starting pitchers. And honestly, Greg, I don't know that Jordan Liles is

gonna help all that much. Yeah, I don't know. I think it's a low cost acquisition by the Brewers. They gave up uh Cody Punts. I don't know who that is enough, probably is not very much. Listen, as we both know, being Nikey fans, pitching is hard to come by. And I think it bears mentioning the Marcus Stroman trade from yesterday, right, because that's a big time trade of course by the Mets, and Mets out of nowhere really

acquired Marcus Stroman for two of their pitching prospects. Everywhere I've read actually said the Mets, Uh, very very well in this trade that the pictures they give up Anthony Kay and then the eighteen year old. Uh, they could be good, but neither our top hundred guy neither like upper miners guy. No, neither guarantee they do want to get Stroman for that price? Um, how does Marker Stroman infiting with the Mets? And the Mets plan actually don't

really like this fit for Marcus Stroman. And like everybody yesterday, I was kind of dumbfounded by this trade and actually tweeted out drink Greg that it wouldn't surprise me if the Mets only made this trade so that the Yankees can't have Marcus Stroman, like we took Marcus Stroman from you. Jokes on you, But is it? I guess we'll find out. But overall, I've I've heard a lot of similar things

about the prospects that you mentioned, Greg. The eighteen year old obviously has a lot more upside, but he's still further away. I think he's only you know, he's actually pitching at a single a as of now. And an Anthony Kay Uh, they're basically polar opposites. He's twenty four years old, but doesn't have a ton of upside. He projects more as like a mid two back end of your rotation starting pictures. So the Blue Jays have a lot of prospects right now, they have a really good

farm system in terms of hitting. They needed more pitching. So they get one guy who maybe doesn't have the highest ceiling, but he has a savor floor and Anthony Kay And then with the other picture that they acquired, he has a higher upside, but he is further away, so we'll see what happens with that. Overall, I don't like to fit for the Mets because while Marcus Struman has has done a great job of limiting home runs this year, we all know that he's one of the

best groundball pitchers in baseball. The Mets have something like a top five worse infield defense based on a lot of advanced metrics and analytics. Uh so their infield defense isn't good and they just acquired a groundball starting pitcher. So I guess we'll see how this works out and whether or not they're still selling guys like Zach Wheeler and Noah synder Guard out during the deadline. I don't really get it. I mean, it's kind of baffling, to

be honest, Graig, Yeah, I don't. It doesn't make sense to me either. I was trying to talk it out this morning and I was thinking that he has Stroman in for next year. You trade away Wheeler right now, you have pleasure with prospects right and you basically just replaced Wheeler with Stroman, and the next year you have a very similar rotation. You just replaced again Wheeler with Strumman.

And if you want to, if they couldn't do anything with that rotation this year, or you get the qualifying offer with Wheeler and you have an extra piece for this year, you make a little bit of a push and the next year trade show away pieces back. I don't know. Yeah, it's it's a weird spot to be in. I don't have a problem with the Mets making trades

for players that can help them win now. I actually said this last week when I did my spot with Craig Mish on nsc here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. But when you signed Jacob Degram to that monster contract extension, you need to take advantage of having a player like that on your team. As we're seeing all around baseball, teams that want to compete, A lot of them don't have a frontline starting pitcher. The Yankees most notably, do not have a frontline starting pitcher. The Mets they do.

They potentially could have two or three frontline starting pitchers for whatever reason. Zach Wheeler and center Guard have not worked out so far this year, but Jacob Degram has and he's still a really, really good picture and probably still one of the five best starting pitchers in baseball. You need to maximize the window that you have now with Jacob Degram on this team. So I get they can go for it next year and you know they

trade for Stroman. But if that's the case, then they shouldn't really be looking into trading Edwin Diaz, or at least that's what I believe. You can trade away Wheeler, you can trade away expiring contracts, Todd Fraser, that's fine, Jason Vargas, Okay, whatever, that doesn't matter. But ideally you'd want to keep Edwin Diaz around. You'd want to have a really good closer for next year. You would want to build off that top three of the Gram Synderguard, Stroman.

So it's gonna be interesting to see what they do I mean, did they acquire Stroman just to flip him? I don't think Like everything so far that we've heard from people close to this and a lot of National Baseball writers have said, everything looks like the Mets are going to keep Stroman around right now. So if they keep Stroman but they trade away guys like Syndergarden and Wheeler and Edwin Diaz, then those things don't really mesh

well together. It doesn't. It doesn't seem like that would be the correct plan of action here for the New York Mets. But it's the New York Mets, so I guess nothing can really surprise us anymore. Greg. If they end up trading Synder Guard Wheeler and Edwin Diaz, that would remind me a lot of honestly, Greg, what the New York Giants have done, like not really having a clear cut plan, like what is the plan for the future.

And if the Mets do that, then I think that there basically telling us like they don't really know, you don't know what they're doing they I mean, now with this trade and the Cano trade in the off season, they basically have sold their farm system. But they're not a team that's competing so it's kind of weird. Normally teams that sold their farm system away. The clubs sold their entire farm system away. They won the World Series. Okay, that's fine. I mean, Yankees are hopeful to do that.

They're probably gonna get rid of a lot of their prospects. But they're a lot closer to winning a World Series and the Mets are, or at least I think so it's it's it's a spot for the Mets to be in a weekend. Frank No, at least at least we got one last night, at least the last night.

Enjoy the show and thanks for listening back with you here all you have Aspen, Frankie Stamford and Mr Staffel. We were gonna get into the Miami running back situation. The Miami Dolphins. But they just made

a move that kind of affects what's going on. They just changed their offensive line coach because apparently the gentleman that they had before was not picking up on the scheme that they're trying to put together right now with kat O'shay now calling the plays for the Miami Dolphins. Former Patriots wide receiver coach comes over with Brian Flores.

But for whatever reason, they were at a disagreement or they just couldn't really figure out how to run the scheme with the current offensive line coach that they had, So they have made a move, Greg, they have made a move. They Uh, it's interesting two former guys that work with the Giants. When was the offensive line coach was assisting out as the black coach, who was now

become the offensive black coach. What it means, I don't know, Uh, interesting them the less Yeah, the offensive line coach that was fired was Pat Flaherty and the gentlemen that they brought in was Dave good look saying this name, We'll go with Dave d taf d Uh just spell it out for anyone at home listening who wants to try d E g U G L I e l M the goog liam Limo, big loog Liam. I can't say the Googleamogliamo. Okay, that's the guy. That's the guy who's

taken over the offensive line coach of the Miami Dolphins. Uh, the offensive line that Calen Balage will be running behind, Greg, Will it be Calen Milage? Sure seems that one Caleb Belage every day in practice that we've read has gotten the first snap, which is traditionally held for the first

or the leading running back on the depth chart. Now, Calen Milage, I have to ask and wonder if Chad o'sham Brian Flores is bringing the Patriots way with them to Miami, he's Calen Milage, Sony Michelle and Kennyan Drake James White. I think that's a fair question to have Greg. I mean, Calen Balage certainly fits that mold of an early down bruiser. He's six ft three two and thirty pounds, but he also caught the ball a decent amount at

AARs on a stage as well. He has eighty two receptions in his four year career there so he's not just a zero in terms of passing. He is a capable receiver. I think he's very much so in the Derrick Henry mold that he is a bigger running back who runs upright, but I think actually has some three down ability. Calling Blage is actually a very very interesting prospect who was basically going undrafted in a lot of drafts that I've seen, or maybe like with one of

the last round picks. Uh, that certainly will change now. But either way, Look, if you like Kenyan Drake Greg, you can use this as a positive because you had to use a fourth round picking them before in drafts over the weekends, Greg's ADP dropped down to sixty five. You're getting him down in the sixth round. So if you are a believer in the talent of Kenyan Drake, which there's no denying that Kenyan Drake is an uber

talented running back, you believe so I believe. So. I have more concerns regarding the Dolphins offensive line, and so just fire their offensive line coach and their offense overall, and I just I think they're going to be an abysmal team, especially if Josh Rosen has the quarterback and behind a bad offensive line, they don't have a ton

of weapons. But Kenyan Drake is one of the weapons that they do have, so I think he's very talented, and if they're playing from behind a lot, it probably lends itself to Kenyan Drake being on the field and catching a lot of passes. But I don't really know how this can be something you're excited about, though, if you're a Kenyan Drake owner or someone that was looking to draft him. The fact that calin Bellos has taken the first team reps and it looks like he might

be the early down back, I can't really help. No, it doesn't help. But as I said, if he's in this James White role and the Dolphins are gonna be as terrible as we think they are, he's probably gonna be on the field more. You might catch seventy passes. Pretty good for PPR, especially is a DP has dropped. I think is what I was talking about last week Greg, when we get these reports and a DP just changes,

so fluctuation tracing. I saw this over the weekend. I saw there was a live draft going off somewhere and someone tweet all for those wondering, you know, here's where Kenyan Drake went. It was like late sixth round and I said, Okay, now, this is too much of an overreaction the other way. I thought, you know, he was getting talked up a lot, he was starting to sneak into like the late third round, the same place that

he was going last year in drafts. What his ADP was still like that late third early fourth round range. For him to drop all the way down down to like the mid sixth round, to me, that's that's an overreaction. That's you know, you're going too far the other way now when it comes to Kenyan Drake, so I can get behind him in the sixth round drag, especially if you're getting him as like your RB three. Perfectly fine with that, totally agree, and I'm buying his talent. I

still believe in his talent. That's not changed doubt that he's a talent correct, There's just no doubt in my mind. And hopefully Brian Flores and Shadow Shay and this staff in Miami will recognize that. I'm i gotta gaze. I agree. I look, you're not getting anything for me now. I am ten times more likely to draft kenyans Drake. And

now it is current ADP that I was a week ago. Great, I'll take it will Jeff Callen Blush, Sure, yeah, I mean, even you know, with everything that's happening, even with him getting hyped up, his ADP now is still only one. He's RB forty five off the board going around names like Naheem Hynes, Lashawn McCoy, Peyton Barber. So I think that's the fine place to get a running back that could potentially be the starter for his respective team. He might be the guy that gets goal line work too.

He is a bigger bodied running back than a Kenyan Drake. You know, I said that when we were previewing the Dolphins, greg I said, basically, everywhere Kenyan Drake has been since high school, he hasn't been featured as a workhorse running back that month stretch in but he was awesome and everyone picked him up and was riding him for fantasy football purposes. Seemed like Adam Gates was finally figuring it out, Craig. But outside of that last year, again wasn't used as

a workhorse. They decided to use Frank Gore Moore instead. How Ledge, he was not used as a workhorse. He had an extensive injury history there. This reminds me a lot of Lamar Miller. I think you brought that up too. We were always clamoring, please give us more Lamar Miller. Dolphins, give us more Lamar Miller. Well, when you ended up in Houston, they gave us more Lamar Miller, but it didn't end up helping his fantasy stock because he just

became a less efficient player. So I think that there's just there's something that you know, they know about Kenyan Drake that we don't. Either. He's injury prone, not good and pass protection whatever it might be there. You know, maybe using him for just twelve to fifteen touches per game is is the best way to maximize his value and keep him healthy. I think it's probably a lot

of those things combined. Ultimately, you're probably right. And Calen Millage, if I could draft him as an RB, you can get him as the RB five a pick once when one Greg, but that's gonna be that's RBT off the board once the preseason start. That has to change, right, number has to go off. Well, if we see him get the first carries in preseason games, that's gonna gona It's gonna skyrocket. But that means Kenyan Drake's can continue

to go down then, which I still love. Would you rather have Let me throw some names out there for you. I would rather have Calin Milage and and listen this way it is Anna packed way later, don't get me wrong. Or Darryl Henderson in there, just in a vacuum. Like if I had a seventh round pick, who would I take Darryl Henderson or Kalin Belage. I probably still take Henderson. I mean the answer is neither. I would probably take a different running back that's on the board, but I

would take Darryl Henderson. Would you rather Calin Milage or Darius Guys? Oh? God, both teams are gonna be terrible. Washington's offensive line is gonna be god awful as well. I still lean Guys, Kyla milag your Latavius Murray, Murray by Landslide. I'll take Lottus Murray over any other running back you've mentioned so far, Kla Milaj or Miles Sanders, Mile Sanders, Kyla milaj or Jordan Howard. Really both Eagles running back, really good team, really good offensive line, Kayla

Milaj or Jalen Samuel's. If I'm the James Connor owner, I would want Jaylen Samuel in a vacuum. I would take Belog. I like him, but you don't have to take him ahead of any of those names. He's going way late right now, you don't. At some point you may, how about this one, Greg Kileen Blag or Ronald Jones Jones? Really everything that we've seen is that Peyton Barber is still the lead running back for this I know that's the one where I'm like, I'd probably go with Kla Blage.

Worry about that one, all right, Bucks are talking of Andre Ellington too. If you were worried about that, Greg and in undrafted rookie free agent who's getting some hype, Bruce Anderson. We can you tell me about Bruce Anderson? Absolutely nothing rank He's a third tring running back of the buck. Yeah, I got that. Maybe the starter. Probably not that. Let's take a break. When do we come back. Let's go to Derrick Henry in Tennessee. Well, try to figure that out next. From the NFL to the NBA.

It is a Monday afternoon and Frank one on the Herald, and piece of information I'd say is that Derrick Henry harder himself the first day of training camp. After that he was in a walking boot. But there still doesn't seem to be all that much concerned from Derrick Henry. He's not a mistake. Yeah, I mean, I would say, so nobody can find out

anything about Derrick Henry right now. And you know, Ian Rabaport tweeted this that the Titans are not concerned about Derrick Henry. So therefore, I guess we shouldn't be concerned about Derrick Henry. But are they being so quiet about what's going on? Why are they? You know, the guys in a walking boot. They haven't necessarily said anything that's

actually wrong with him. That if he's dealing with a foot injury, an ankle injury, caff injury, you know whatever it might be in achilles, like they haven't mentioned anything. You just say it's a lower leg injury. But don't worry about it. The guys in a walking boot, you know, totally normal for the first week of training camp. I

don't get it, Craig. I mean, I would be nervous if I he drafted this guy already, and you know, we already had our concerns about how many catches he was going to uh yet this year, how many receptions he was gonna have, how much he was gonna be used in the in the past game. We all think that, you know, he's there's a chance that you know, he's gonna be a workhorse in terms of carries, and he's gonna run a lot, potentially lead the league in rushing touchdowns.

We saw over the final four games of the season, scored seven rushing touchdowns during that stretch, the average almost twenty two carries per game. I hope he's fine. Can anybody say for sure? You know that they're starting left tackle Taylor Juan is out for the first four games of the season, because of suspension as well. It just seems like everything's kind of going downhill very quickly here for the Tennessee Titans. Yeah, I look at the Tennessee

Titans and this is another team. And I said it before, I really like the under for this team. I don't really think they win many games. You were saying, Frank, anybody any one of these teams were within division as like Titans can't. And I don't like the Titans here. I don't like anything about the Titans this year. I know they're in the precipists of the playoffs last season, but I don't want Like, I look where Derrick Henry

is going. And we talked a lot about this this range in fantasy football when it comes to the running backs, and Derrick Henry is in the mix right after DeVante Freeman's carry On Johnson, Marlon MC and Aaron Jones. But like for me, like I'm not sure to have Josh Jacobs and then after that, I probably won't take this group. Like I'm not as high on Derrick Henry. I'm as

high mark ingram as you are. I have no idea what to make up this Denver running back situation with Philip Lindsay and Roy Spreem and ideally I don't want to mess with that. Then you get a guy like David Montgomery. I like James White, PPR leg He's like obviously, UM, I don't know if I love David Montgomery like you do, Like I don't like these guys, I really don't. The person this affects the most is Dion Lewis. Obviously mentioned is he was going at such an incredible value and

he still lives. I mean, over the weekend, is ADP was RB if he one I pick one thirty eight off the board, and it seems like we were all, you know, in agreement with this one. Me U E Y Obviously e Y loves the Tennessee Titans, he loves Derrick Henry. But of course I think you have to be somewhat concerned about this. So hopefully this doesn't drive up Dion Lewis's draft stock too much, because I was

pretty excited about where we were getting him here. Really really a talented player we saw it years with the Patriots, someone who could both run the football and catch the football out of the backfield. Um. So again, I just hope that his ADP hasn't effected too much by this graig because I was enjoying the value that we were getting Deanon Lewis at yeah, and yeah lewis still going at a n a nice value, and Canny the a cheaper version of some of these other past cast wide cheevers.

Kenyan Drake who just spoke about um James White always Yeah, I think so. I definitely think so. And obviously Derrick Henry being made out will only help him more. Yeah, Nahim Heinz, for example, is going twenty picks ahead of him. I like Nahim Heinz in the lines ahead of it was probably not. It's funny because when I own name Hinds through the end of last year, like I always wanted to start him and I wanted to acquire him because I always thought this guy you could perfectly plug

into your flex and the offhen was not. The offender was not had a few big games where he had like really big reception totals, but then there were other games these game flow dependent. You know, if in games where the Colts are sitting on a lead, they're going to ride with Marlon Mack and they're just gonna try and grind out the clock. We spoke about that when we spoke about you know, Marlon Mack was last year. I think it was three three games where he had

over twenty carries. Those were games that they won by four teen plus points with the Indianapolis Cold. So we see that with a lot of these satellite running backs. So these past catching running backs is they are game

flow dependent. That's obviously the case for Niheim Hines. I think Dean Lewis has a more cemented role in in this offense that you know, whether the Titans are winning or losing, he should still see anywhere from like eight to ten touches per game, and if they're playing from behind them, maybe even more met So I think that there's a lot to like about Dean Lewis at at his current draft stocks is. Hopefully with this news about Derrick Henry, he doesn't rise up too much here and

you don't even know what's wrong with Derrick Henry. So it's just weird. So as much as they like in the he behinds going back there for a moment. So in Week twelve, he was awesome, right, they based off It's Jacksonville. They didn't score a point the Colts because the defense was awesome for the Jacks. That game, he had nine catches for fifty yards. Oh my god. Also pbr day like everybody wants them hand for this playoff run. In that game, just for the record, he had four

carries for five yards. A week later, he had three carries for one yard and cut three passes for sixteen yards. Not a good game. A week later he had six carries for nineteen yards, but four passes forty five yeh week later were fifteen two two carries two yards, four cashes for that was a twenty seven carry game for Marlon Mack. A week later against Tennessee the Giants or or did he not play in that game? He played? I did the Giants ready all right? A week later

against Tennessee, thank you. Four carry, one carry, four yards, three catches. He did not have a touchdown after week four. The upside for Naheim Hines is obviously the nine for fifty. But unlike some of these other guys not using their not using the red zone at all, that's never going to happen for him. And they might use him as a receiver, but he won't get any real rushing attempt even as a receiver. Like they don't utilize him on that goal line like James already have Eric Ebron and

Devin Funs. That's exactly what I'm saying, and they'll use Ebroun out of the backfield as we saw. Basically, you're talking yourself out of Nihemi. I think the upsides just capt for Nighthems, and even if something were to happen to Mac, it's probably and we've talked about this as well when we did the Colts preview, probably Spencer wear or even Jordan Wilkins on early downs and then it's not just gonna be like Ninheim Hines. He's a smaller guy,

so he's a really good pass catcher. I think he's a talented player, but you can argue, like where he's going right now, it's not the best value for Nighthea mart I think he finished as a top thirty running back last year in PPR just because he called a ton of passes. But it really is game flow dependent. Look at other players that are going in that range. They they probably just have more standalone value. Callin blaz Is going in that range. Would you rather have Greg,

You'd rather have Kalon blaz ORNs. I think I'd probably Kiln Lash rather Calen Balash. I mean, as a starting running back, you might have a starting running back in your hands. Would you rather have Damien Harris? Rhame Mines so I knew that one was coming. Sweet, I was almost uptail on the list. I'd rather Caylen Balag. There's a lot of people in front of Damian Harris. I know you don't necessarily agree with that. Damien Harris first name Hens. I'm sorry, rather Caln Blag for the record,

over Damien Harris. We're both of them. Then, basically I said I said that before, uh now he behinds versus Damian Harris, I'd rather have or that in the he lines, I think Damian Harris is a lot of people have

to compete with. Yeah, it's a messy situation. I would rather have Damian Harris just because the Patriots year in and year out, are among the leaders in fantasy points scored by running backs, just because they have such a great offense, and we know that really at his at their core, like Belichick and the Patriots, you know they

want to have a strong run game. And you know he's won Sony Michelle injury away from being you know, a potential RB two that is Damien Harris, So I think that the upside there is a little bit higher for him. I won't argue that him Hines might have a more consistent role if everyone's healthy for New England. But I still think, especially for best Ball, there's gonna be these random games where Damian Harris probably scores like two touchdowns. You won't be able to predict when they happen.

But when it comes to best ball, it doesn't really matter when it happens. You just you want those spike weeks. So Eilean Eileen, Damien Harris, I think the upside is higher. Yeah, in nearly on Damon Harris is I guess some other people are, which is whatever that makes sense. If you're Sony Michelle guy, you know you have to remain consistent in your I thought process. I tried to be. I tried a bit um last piece of football notes before getting our best bets forever coming up after the break,

John Harbaugh. I give a lot of comments this week, UM about the city of Baltimore, UM, and about Lamar Jackson. And what was interesting was he took me over in Russia. Attempts for Lamar Jackson and scoffed anybody that thought they were going to limit how much he was going to run the ball. You're excited about Lamar Jackson. You've got me excited about Lamar Jackson, and I think some people should be. How everyone's gonna be excited about Lamar Jackson.

This this is why we tell people to draft early.

And this is these are some of these advantages of drafting earlier, Greg, is, before all these comments start coming out, all these training camera ports and random videos of someone catching a ball and someone running down the field even though you know they're barely even wearing pads, And before all that, you can draft the players that you like when you just study what happened last year and what you expect to happen this year when you project forward.

But obviously we were already very excited about Lamar Jackson. But I think more people are going to be excited about Lamar Jackson now. And the same thing with Curtis Samuel. Right we were We filmed a Fandel hurry up video a month ago, Greg, where I gave out some sleepers for fantasy football. Curtis Samuel was one of those sleepers. Now everybody is getting excited about Curtis Samuel. And I'm not one of those people. What I'm saying like, Oh it's all because of me. I'm I'm the driving force

behind Curtis Samuel. But today we got the report from North Turner that said he's he's progressing as a route road. He's becoming a really, really good route runner. Everybody on Twitter today is talking about Curtis Samuel. These are the advantages to drafting early in fantasy football. Greg, you know the advantages and you know your disadvantages. Lamar Jackson mad advantage, disadvantage, aually A J. Green potentially yes. From the NFL to the NBA. Daily rohado dot com is the place to

Entering Friday, you were four and two plus two and O in your upset specials at six and two clip, I was four and three. I gave out a parlay at plus one sixty nine the Diamondbacks and

the Braves on Friday. The Diamondbacks were winning the entire game, blew it in the ninth and he ended up losing that game. It's cost to parlay at plus My upset special was Washington had a very close game with the Daughters lost. Your upset special was the hir Rates. They're currently on an eight game losing streaks, so I'm assuming that they lost. And you also had the Kansas City money line. Jake tune Is lost Houston money line against

the Cardinals lost local money line. Lost. Someone asked me on Saturday on Twitter asked me on Saturday for my favorite picks. I give them two of them and both of those hits, so that was good. Works well on a Saturday Friday, noting what was your wall record here? So we were entering Friday, we were ten and five combined and then we went oh in six on Friday, so that would be ten and eleven on the week. Damn, just stay away on Friday's Greg. That's that's that's that's

the lesson to learn here. So no, Frank, I wanted to. I wanted too much better. I mean we were for the most part. Let's start out today and let's go to the week and went night start. Can we do that? It all right? The Bramos and the dads, Dallas Kaiko, Patty Corbin, the Nationals are a thick favorite in this one total since at nine and a half, and he thought, yes, should get a pictures duel here? Should We'll see what happens. Dallas Kaiko has mostly pitched very well so far. He's

a three point five e r A so far. He is three and three. Patrick Corbin. By the way, Greg, I don't know if you forgot about our a little bet, but you're currently crushing me in said bed Patrick Corbyn lowers the ear right down to three point to five, has pitched phenomenal under three. I believe, yes, it was yea for the rest of the season, so I probably kissed that goodbye. But I want to I want to see the under here, right. Isn't that what you're supposed

to like? Yes? With Patrick Corban pitching as well as he is, but the Nationals lineup is hot recently. I think they sanders like Howard Kendrick Tonight a lot the fourth best ops for the last seven days for the Washington Nationals. So I feel like it might be it might be a trap game, Greg might be a don't be a sucker bet under nine and a half? Under nine and a half? Is that one of your best bets. I'm gonna stay away there. I like the and a half.

It's one of my best bets for tonight, right, Atlanta Washington under nine and a half, That is Greggy Sussman. What do we got next? Up next? The d Backs, the Marlins, Caleb Smith, Merrill Kelly. It is a pick um with the total city it's seven and a half. Franc Yes it is. And Caleb Smith, we we wrote the hot hand last week used him against the White Sox and money line. Caleb Smith lowers the e rright to three point three zero on the season. Merrill Kelly

a four point to two. He's been very inconsistent this year, but he should be able to have success tonight going up against the Marlins, who have a two eighty waited on bass average. Greg that is drank thirty in baseball. I gotta figure out what I want to do here. It's it's nice that it's a pick them, but the Marlins are not good. The Diamondbacks lineup is obviously better than the Marlins lineup. This is dirty to This might be a sucker bet. I'm gonna go under the seven

a half. I understand that it's a low total here, but I did the same thing last week with I believe it was Ronaldo Lopez and Caleb Smith or something like that, and it's a low number, but it's in Marlins Park. It's a big ballpark. I think Meryl Kelly could have some success there against this Marlins lineup. Garrett Cooper is extremely cold. I know this because I have them on basically all my fantasy teams, and I think Caleb Smith should do enough in terms of limiting the

Diamondbacks lineup. It's a low number, but I'm going under Miami in Arizona. Under seven a half low number, Frankie, it is I can't poorty. If I had to choose a side, I would go with Miami. I'd also go with Miami and imagine you the side the Dimebacks have gotten cold as I get close to the deadline, which is a Wednesday. With the deadline and show for you on Wednesday should be fun. Um, it's almost like we're learning nothing, greg In in today's environment of baseball, we

probably shouldn't be taking unders. We're both taking unders. Best bets for reach to us. That's it, that's correct. Our first two games you don't you don't Knowmally see our best bets in the first two games and the night you don't come. More games for you, the Blue Jays and the Royals. Brad Kella on the mount on top and one as well for the blue Jays. Might just wanted thirty of the Royals to night nine and a half of the total here as well. Yeah, Brad Keller

has actually pitched a lot recently. The total is at nine and a half year. Can't really tell you anything. About Unne of the Toronto Blue Jays. Oh, but Schett making his debut tonight along away to debut for Fantasy Baseball owners and for Blue Jays fans alike. It's not the best bet of mine, but I like the Kansas City Roles money line Tonight minus swam thirty. I also like the Kansas City Roles money lines to night mightus one thirty. Blue Jays are twenty seven this season and

waited on bass average against right handed pitching. Well, Tonight may feature the debut of Bobachette. It's not May, it's yeah, it's well. They haven't released the lineup yet, but they said yesterday that he will be promoted and he will be in the line up Monday, So it will feature the debut of bobacht. Are you gonna really pay against Bobachett and his l debut? Yes? Ye. It's not the best bet, but I do like it. I like the

Royals money line. I wish that there was something here that I could parlay it with because Coban in the Nationals or minus one fifty six on the night. But it wouldn't surprise me if the Braves and Dallas Kika one we haven't got to this game yet, But like I made Barria minus to seventy against the Tigers, Jordan's it remains them, you know, dumpster fire. But it wouldn't surprise me if I made Barria doesn't pitch well either, so I don't think the Angels would be that big

of a favorite. There. There's nothing that I like enough to parlay this brad killerwood, So if I was taking it, I would just take the Royals. Money is one of your best best? Would you change your opinion? Make it one of your best best? H No, get Johnny Gray. The Dodgers on the map are on the road in Colorado. Totals thirteen. Is this kind of weird? Frank? The Dodgers are only minus this one? What are we missing here? John Gray has pitched mostly well recently. He you know,

can still have those blow up games at times. Yeah, this is an interesting one because the obviously the Dodgers are just a much better team overall than the Colorado Rockies. Into my eight A seven and seven with a three point eight e r A on the season, John grade nine and seven with a four point zero five. Based on the two pitchers that are pitching tonight in the numbers I just read you probably should feel okay about the under third team, but I've I've learned my lesson

about the unders in cors Field. I'm not touching that. I mean, I guess on paper you probably should just really like the minus for the Dodgers, right, Like, maybe this is something you put together trying to figure out what I'm missing here so you can get the Dodgers in royals together. You parlayed those that plus two fifteen, Greg, what do you think about that? That's something I can interest you in. No, I'm definitely not interested in play

at anyway. But I'm trying to figure out if this is the second bet of the night, Frank, because I feel like it is. Maybe John Gray has pitched really well, that's what we're trying to exactly look up as we speak. So we'll pull up John Gray splits here and figure out how he's pitched against the kids. And it has been he's made two starts, Greg twelve and two thirds, and he's pitched seven earned runs a four point nine seven e r A for John Gray against the Dodgers

this season. Maybe it's the opposite, Maybe it's uh, maybe it's Kenimita gets destroyed whenever he faces the Dodgers, Rockies, Rockies, Yes, course Field was in course Field end of June with four and a third, allowed two runs in Colorado the first week of April, Loud one run over five innings. He's made three starts against him this year and has a two point seven six r A. I don't think ever missing anything here, Greg, here we are. It's just we just don't know what it is. It just seems

too easy to me. What's John Gray done his last few starts? Rank? Uh? Well, I pulled up into my ag. Let's see here, John Gray. His last couple of starts July four, and he's pitched one and run five and a third and he's pitched six earned runs. I twelve against the Red seven and he's pitched two earned runs six at Arizona Arizona five innings, pitched three earned runs. So basically you're normal John Gray, mixed bag. I have to sime. He faced them was June and two thirds

and he's pitched two earned runs. Like it just seems too good to be true to take the Dodgers. It's just I'm staying away, Frank I told me what it is. It's too good to be true, it's too easy. This is ucker bats Angels Dodgers money line. I'm telling you right now, this is a sucker bat. Maybe it's where where do they play last? Maybe they try had to travel across the country or something. There might be a trend about them, like on a road trip or something.

I will look that up right now. Yesterday they were they were in Washington, so they're traveling from Washington to Carl Ross Country. But it was you know, it was a one Colock game. I watched a game, very good game, Strassburg against Bueler. So I had enough time to get out, get out of there, and it's timely fashion we get to Colorado. Is there a chance that the line is just off here? It's a sucker bat? Frank? All right, Well, hopefully it's not, and you're wrong, and I'm right because

it's one of my best bets. Angels and Tigers. Heimie Maria Jordan's Zimmerman. The Angels are a monstrous favorite at home against Tigers. Gordon Zimmerman. Yeah, plus two twenty. He's um not good, has not pitched well. Everything I said earlier on the season about you know, picking him up. I hope you didn't do that, because jordan' Zimmerman Man, this is one of the worst picture contracts I've seen given out in a while. And there there's a lot

of there's a lot of these that happened. It's you know, these middling starting pitchers that get these. You know they're getting paid like their number two starters, but they're really not. Normally those contracts don't work out. It certainly didn't hear for the Detroit Tigers, and uh we worked out well for jordan' Zimerman, but not the Tigers and him A. Barria hasn't pitched well. But I mean against the Tigres. You have to like the Angels tonight. But that number

is just too big. It's minus two sixty. The totals ten and a half. Like the over ten and a half might be interesting here, but the thing is, I don't know if I trust the Tigers enough to score runs. I think I'm streaming Jimi Beria in a league or two just because the Tigers are that bad. Final game of the night actually just got added to uh, added to the mix here. It wasn't on the board a second ago. Just yeah, it's Chris Paddock and the Padres

taken on David Hess and the Orioles. Padres minus seventy tonight minus two seventy big favorites here. Obviously Chris Paddock like him a lot for DFS tonight against the Baltimore Orioles. Baltimore Orioles lineup that could potentially be moving Jonathan VR. I saw there was a report earlier that the Cubs were very hot right now and trade Man Sini as well. Teams are interested in trade Man Sni. So we'll see if any of those people end up in the line up.

Maybe that's why it took so long for this to pop up, that they're worried about potential trades going down here. Eight and a half. I would want to take the over just because it's a low number. I trust the Padres to score runs against David Hess, but I don't trust the Orioles really to do much against Padding. So if you do anything with the Royals, you probably are using them as like a one or two, two or three leg parlay because obviously they're just such a big number.

At minus two seventy. You can put them and the Angels together at minus one o nine. What do you think about that? Craig Angels and Padre's money line par lay together at minus one on nine. No, no, all right, just started bring it up. There are two big favorites on the board are Yeah, there's a few times like there's things that speak to me. They speak speak to me on the board. And then uh, I hit on one parlor last week, and I would have hit on

the other one if the diamondbad. Greg Holland didn't blow it. Greg Holland, by the way, removed from the closer's roll. Gregg I saw that a lot of speculation that you want Lopez will be the closer told us about during the NFBC draft. Yeah, if you need some saves, obviously with the Sergio Romo trade from over the weekend, nick Anderson first and foremost out there and get him. But next up you want Lopez. If you need saves for

Fantasy baseball, that's your guy. Just want a note, Sincinnati Pittsburgh. That game is not on the board due to we don't know who's gonna serve Pittsburgh tonight. I give him the train of Jordan Lyles. Milwaukee's all right, that's it. We're done. Tomorrow. All right, young, we joined the program.

I think maybe I think we think we we we think it would be great to have you way back and to see why if we go round by around, Denny wise, what we can see, what we're doing, what we're doing won't take everybody downstairs, Danny, Chris and Annie. He's right, I'm Greg. How any fantastic us your afternoon.

What did appen? What did I? Here's what you missed on the BFPS. Jameson Crowder right now basically free in drafts, going at around pick one wide receiver fifty nine off the board. He's always had talent and we I think we've always wanted Jamison Crowder to be more than he's actually been so far, but you know, he dealt with foot and ankle injuries last year, maybe even the year before as well. So this is a really really concerning sign here for Jamison Crowder and the Jets offense overall.

This isn't a team that has a ton of depth, So they had their widers. Their three wide receiver set was Robby Anderson, Jamison Crowder, Quincy and Noon one. And I think after that we're looking at like Deonte Burnett, who was uh teammate of Sam Donald at USC flashed a little bit at times last year, but still kind of skeptical about what he is at the NFL levels.

So we're gonna have to see here, Uh, if the Jets do anything, if they make a corresponding move, I've I've seen some you know Jets people on Twitter already talking about, you know, potentially signing some veterans that are still available as some depth. But I guess that is going to depend on how serious this Crowder injury is. So again, he's going for an m R and his foot. He's dealt with these injuries in the past obviously, for you know, Quincy Noon, if he goes back into the slot,

now and that helps him a ton. You know, I think that Adam Gates's offense is someone is one that features the slot wide receiver a decent amount. And we've seen Quincy Noona have uh success there. And for Robbie Anderson, Greg if you remember, part of the reason how the skeptical of him was because there are a lot of targets around. Well one of them goes down, that means

there's more available to go Robbie Anderson's way. So you know, for those people that are buying in on Robbie Anderson, if he can stay healthy, everyone around him is kind of injury prone, and Noona has been injury prone. Prouder has been injury prone. If anything happens to those two guys. I mean, we saw what his upside could be in that final month of the season last year. Absolutely, and now Quincy and noon wa uh, it's been a bit of a forgotten man. I think thus this far this

offseason for the Jesse he's had some success. He's a really big target for Sam Donald and I remember we were all aboard the Noona train when everybody went down for his Jets team. It was that first game of the season against the Lions where he was heavily targeted and had a really really big game. So we thought that he would have a big role for PPR didn't

really come to fruition. It didn't ultimately. Um, I think Robby Anderson's still by far the most talented wide receiver, and I think theoretically Adam Guze should get the best Adam and he should be able to play pitch in cash with Sam Donald and majors game. You're playing there Greg Adam Gaze, trusting Adam Gaze. But I I understand why Robby Anderson where he's going. I was a little

bit more skeptical. Again, they brought in they also brought in Levian Bell, Like they didn't have a running back of that caliber last year that would demand as many targets as Levian Bell would, or you know, running back that they can use as a wide receiver. They can even use Time Montgomery as a wide receiver if that's something that they wanted to mess around with. So I just think, again, there's a lot of targets on the Jets offense, and I don't want to have a lot

of faith in Adam Gaze. Overall, I think Sam Donald is a promising young quarterback, but he only did it over the final four weeks. That's something that he has to filled. The pont
