Speaker 1

You're listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You are now locked and loaded for Daily Fantasy Glory DFS lineup block sponsored by Daily Rohodo dot com. Beagins Now, good evening, Welcome to the Lot of Luck Show, brought to by Daily Rodo dot Com. My name is Tony Sicado, with me BENNI Riccatti, and I gotta tell you, Benny, I'm glad we do this show because every once in a while I want to do something and I don't know

if it's the best move. Tonight, I am leaving the most expensive picture of Jose Burrios outside of my tournament rosters. It's not that I don't think he's gonna have a good game. I think I got a couple of cheaper guys that, uh, I'm gonna do all right, and I got some offensive guys I need to get in my lap up. So I'm gonna want to try to go

sons Jose Burrios tonight. You know, Tony, one of the things I like about doing this show is that I have the same things because when you when you're doing your research by yourself, there are definitely a lot of those fifty fifty plays that You're like, can I do this tonight? Am I crazy? Does this make sense? Should I be able to do it? And you just confirmed one of the things that I've been thinking tonight as well, because don't get me wrong, everybody listening out there, and

I think Tony will probably agree with this. Like I like Burials. He's a very good pitcher. Yeah, but we were playing this guy and telling people to play this guy when he was sixty hundred seventy two hundred. He's eleven thousand, four hundred dollars today over on DraftKings. That's a big difference that you know, now you're talking about him in the same breath as the you know, superstar pitchers that are out there in the major leagues right now.

So again, I like the kid. I'm not saying I don't. I think he will pitch well today, but at eleven four, I don't need him to pitch well. At eleven four, I need him to go absolutely crazy in order to

pay off. And like you said, there are some other guys who are a couple hundred bucks cheaper, even some that are, you know, significantly cheaper, a couple of thousand cheaper, that I think we can roll out there today and and still get pretty good games from and like you said, there are also some bats that we want to pay up for that are a little expensive. If you're paying eleven four for Jose Burrios, you gotta sacrifice all those big bats tonight. So we're gonna cover that and a

whole lot more. I I don't know which lineup I gave you last night, but hopefully you guys got a good lineup from me. I prought up a big score in my tournaments, over a hundred sixty points. In my cash game, I threw up in eighty seven, so um, I don't know. I hopefully you guys got the right one and it paid off of you. And it was a good afternoon. I got caught. I got a lot of money today. It was profitable. But Drew Pomeran is not getting the win cost me a couple of hundred bucks.

Will be more with a lot of block show brought you by Delta dot com. Kay, we'll go back to the lineup luck show brought to you by the folks at Dali Rodo dot com. For all the people out there, if you're playing a little fantasy golf, you can go on iTunes, Google Play check got my No Mulgan Fantasy of course tomorrow morning that kicks off in a good field this week despite it being a major of the week before. Um, you go there, and also you want to go to Google uh play or iTunes to listen

to today's fantasy sports news desk. If you play dueling, if you play DFS. We had the author of Dueling with Kings on this afternoon and it was a very good show. He wrote a book on DFS and he basically what he did. He's a writer, and um, he was righting for the Wall Street Journal, and he some guys showed him about Fandel and He's like, I'm gonna be rich. I'm gonna be a millionaire. I know everything about baseball. And he get killed and and um, he

decided that he get hooked up with Beep. I'm a jeep who is uh the worst thing in the world. Uh where he's the worst thing in the world for all you like Hodcore, for Nacy baseball, people that hate all these really smart people get involved in the industry. I got the interview beat on a jeep. What what he did is he took down four like major tournaments in a row one week at FanDuel. Right, so I interviewed the guy, any young guy, and he's what is

he is? He's a chess champion, he's a board game champion, and he's like really smart. He's from Canada. Yeah, so I interviewed he's a very sharp guy. Actually he's not a yeah, but he's a very smart guy. Like in the show today. And I guarantee you guys, you'll get something out of it. You gotta go listen to it. So it's Fantasy News Desk on iTunes a Google play. I interviewed him a while ago from De la rhoto dot com and he didn't even know the player's names, right,

The names didn't matter to him. It was just the statistics. And I know a lot of you guys hate to hear that, um, but that's the way it is. And I tell people all the time, if you have millions of dollars at stake, you're only gonna get the smartest people in the world, right, I mean, that's part of

the money, the attraction that's drawn. You're not gonna have any people here that have no clue what they're doing for a long time, and you can think, you know, baseball, but taking baseball and putting it in play is in this type of format is a whole different thing. And this is part of the reason I even have a problem with major League baseball players former major League baseball players becoming managers, because I think they very well know how to play baseball and be successful on the field,

but a lot of them are gifted athletes. They don't know what it takes to manage a team. To look at charts and and and position your defense whitey lefty matchups. They don't know any of that, and some of them don't even take the time to try to learn it. So I think that this is where we are in

today's world. Well that's why the only guys that I'm happy about when the team that I rude for, you know, signs of former major league as their manager, is when it's a catcher, because the one position on the field that does know all that stuff and positioning and it's basically in charge of that. If you've ever watched a baseball game, a lot of that comes from the catcher when he's moving guys around based on the batter and reading scouting reports and stuff like that, so you know,

the Mike socias the Joe Girvardi's of the world. I'm always happy when that happens from my team. You're getting more and more players though, that are talking about like a lot of the the advanced statistics that they've used and stuff like that to help them correct some things. And so it's becoming more and more commonplace that there are other geeks out there besides you guys listening to the show. And I was doing the show. So we're

taking over a nation. Yeah, well, I mean you hear countless stories so far this year, Tony about guys who are looking at their you know, stat cast stats and and you know, worked on their launch angle over the you know, the off season, are worked on their you know, exit velocity on you know, swinging the ball harder and having the ball come off the bat harder, because again, all those things have proven and been shown to increase

the number of home runs that guy's hit. And people are looking and saying, oh, why are why are there so many home runs in the major leagues this year. I'm not saying that's the sole reason, but it's definitely part of it. You've got guys tailoring their swings for it for all you people that play the Draft Kings today. You just get paid, so get ready to put some more lineups in St. Louis at Philadelphia Michael Walker and

Nick Pavetta and nine and a half total. Nick Pavetta right, he's righty on righty three ninety three weight on base average against him, striking out lefties uh three forty two and walks his walk rates over ten h That is a problem putting guys on base for the St. Louis Catlo's Michael Walker. He's having troubles that this year where he's good. One game he's there, one game he is not. He never strikes out enough guys to be the lead picture. I think you can I don't like either picture in

this game, obvious reasons. They with Nick Pavetta, but I'm not a big Michael Walker fan either. And I think that you can use carbonate decks defology and Jericho Stephen BUSCOTTI has been hot. You can ride that for a little bit. And on the Philadelphia side, I don't see anyone I like. But I'm not playing any Cardinals. Yeah, I'm not really either, but I agree with you on the four guys that you mentioned there are actually the

four guys that have written down here. You know, people are talking about Pavetta today Tony because he had a really good last start. I think he went like seven innings, had like seven or eight k's or nine ks or something like that. I don't know that all the other starts before that weren't all that good. I mean, he's a young kid, so you can expect some improvement coming. But I agree with Tony. If you're gonna do anything in this game, I'm looking at the cards bats here.

I think that's probably the way to go about it. Would you be interested at all in um Odebell Harrera on the other side, I mean he is the one left handed bat that I think. That's that's it, like, like that's basically claim right Waka had a tough time of lefted bats. The guys not played great, but he is lefty. It is a small ballpark, it's good decent for offense. And the guy said they go deep. Yeah, So if you wanted to make the case, But when I look into the whole scope of lineups, I could

probably find someone on the same price I like better. Yeah. And the other thing about Odobell too is he got dropped down to the sixth spot in the order. I mean, this was a guy who we were talking about when he was hitting second, when he was hitting third, hitting six, now it's really not as appetizing as it used to be.

Cleveland in Baltimore, go at it. Collins Carrasco, Kevin Gossman, Uh Carrasco one fifty totally the second highest price pitcher undraft kicking striking out the hitters and then it strikeout rate four Um, Kevin Gossman. I'll say what. I made my money last night a man in Machado and the only reason I had a Machadow in my line up last night. His price was too low. It was thirty nine dollars. I'm like, this guy's a superstar. He's been dealing with hand injury the whole year and that's why

he's not been hitting. And sometimes you have to price in force, like you do a lot of times when you're in an auction in the season long league. I do that in daily and I look at his price tonight. I don't have him in my life up, but I'm saying, am I making a mistake? It's price after two home runs last night is only thirty seven hundred tonight. It was thirty nine under last night. Yeah, and here's the reason why I'm not completely sold that it's a mistake tonight.

Although I agree with you last night. I think it was a good option to go in there, and you know, like you said, it worked out well today. Carrasco is a guy that's really tough on right handed batters. I mean, right these are hitting under two hundred against him this year. And it's not like lefties are all that much better. I mean they're only hit in two twenty, but it's a higher average. They do have more power or higher

on base percentage. And this is actually why I like Carrasco today because we talked last week about how Chris Davis is out of this lineup for the Baltimore Orioles. I mean you're basically looking at what Steve Smith and Seth Smith and the Hunt suit came in there. I mean, I don't even know if they have another lefty in the lineup today. So if you've got a right handed dominant team going up against Carrasco, I think that's gonna

be a really really good situation for him here. So Carrasco is also a guy that's much better on the road than he is at home. So being on the road in Baltimore, it's actually a boom for him, even though it's a pretty good hitter spark. You know, lefties are the ones that take him deep. And like we said, there are no lefties to go up against them today. Why do you think that he's better on the road when it's like it's one of those crazy statistics. I

hear it is the Baltimore betting. I'll give you a Baltimore order real quick. Steth Smith and the left handed bat and the lead off Machadow, Adam Jones, Trombo trade Man, Seny Scope. Kim's the other lefty at Caleb Joseph and Paul john Is. So two lefties out of the line up there. Yeah, I have no idea to answer the question you asked. I have no idea why he's better on the road. But if you look at his numbers this year, he's been better on the road than he

is at home. And this isn't a new thing. If you look at his numbers from years past, it's the same thing. For some reason, he just pitches better when he's not in Cleveland. So you know, when you see a stat like that, sometimes it's like, well, you know, that's interesting. But the longer that you see it, you know, when you can look back in years past and you see that it's been the same thing in years past,

at some point it becomes a trend. Then to me, this is one of those trends that you gotta keep an eye on. You know, carrass go for some reason better on the road. So it's just another reason why I like him, between all the the rights and him being tough on rights, with him being on the road, I mean, there's a lot of check marks in his boxes today. Although I will say on the other side of this game, Tony, I love the Indian stack today. I think they're gonna go lower own than like the

Yankees and the and the Diamondbacks and the Rockies. And honestly, Gaussman has been horrible. I mean there's a guy with a six and a half year raight so far this year a whip over too, I mean horrible. Even though people were expecting him to be good, he hasn't been. And you know, there's no again, there's no reason to fight a trend that you see that's strong we're gonna talk about the Yankees next. But the reason why you don't play machadow tonight, Miguelson against David Holmberg tonight and

Benny didn't mention two stacks that I like tonight. So you'll get that in a whole lot more. Stay tuned for show dot com. M welcome back to a lot of block shoe over what you DELI Rotta dot com. His name is better Chari. My name is Tony Sicota. I'll tell you the guys, what were these in the stacks that you didn't mention that I like tonight? Are the Twins and the Dodgers. Oh yeah, well I didn't mention. We didn't get there yet. I didn't mention him. But

they're on, They're on. There are there's a lot of good offensive stacks tonight for people out there. So, uh, you got a big show here, and we got things happen and we get things going fast. And I actually I've never done this before, and tonight I did this. I actually have a stack in in my cash games, which I've never done. So in my cash I told you that I'm not using Barrios and I'm not using Carrasco in my tournaments, but I'm using them both in

my cash game names. And then the Twins stack and I can still get, you know, plenty of hits because the prices are too low. Yeah, I actually love the Twins tonight. You know, there are ten teams tonight, Tony. It's only an eleven games slate too, because we had four games this afternoon. Ten of the twenty two teams playing tonight have an implied team total of four point

nine are higher. So if you are gonna go with the day where you know you want to try to get some bats in your lineup, I think there are a ton of teams that we can stack up. I think there's gonna be a ton of offense tonight. I mean, when you have basically forty five percent or forty four percent, I guess it would be of the teams on the entire slate tonight that are scheduled to score you know, five runs or more, there's gonna be some offense. We're

gonna get some run scored tonight. So I think we're gonna have one of those high scoring nights, and this game could be one of them. Joe to Montgomery and Rickey in Alaska ten and a half total at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees are two on at all a favorite. Besides the seventh game losing streak, Montgomery has pitched well three on nine UH Wight on base averas versus lefties, two five against right He's is strikeouts eight percent against lefties right,

he's twenty three. It's giving the ball on the ground. Ricky and Alaska. He pitched over his head most of the year and it's starting to come back to earth three twenty three Wight on base everage lefties right, he's three forty two U. His strike out rates drop to under I don't like any of the Angels bats here. If you want to go Cameron Mayburn and the leadoff position, you can. You can steal a few bases and go there.

And the Yankees against the fly ball pitch you want to get out there around judge your Matt Holiday, Gary Sanchez. I think any of the Yankees a gonna play tonight. Yeah. I mean you look at a guy like in Alaska two eighty average to both sides of the plate. Right, he's are actually hitting him better three hundred average and thirteen of the twenty one home runs he's allowed already this year. So the Judge Sanchez holiday thing I completely

agree with. And I don't even mind if you, you know, want to plug those three guys in and then kind of stack around them. I think that's a pretty decent strategy here as well. Here's the only thing I'm gonna say, though, I am not stacking the Yankees tonight. And I will tell you why because I put in a lineup or two last night, and I had a lot of heavy exposure to the Yankees. We talked about it on the show. I like the Bats, and you know, they had a

team total over six like they do today. Again, they were thirty owned in some of the tournaments I was in last night, at some of the higher buying levels. So when we were talking about the Yankees two or three weeks ago, and I've made a lot of money on the Yankees, I've made a lot of money. You know we talked about yesterday that goes baseball? Is that hard?

Just put the Yankees in and and obviously people are listening. Yeah, And well here's the problem though, when Tommy was talking about it first, and when we were talking about it here on the radio, we were getting Yankees at ten percent twelve percent, less than ten percent some nights. Once they go to the uber chalk, once they're thirty percent plus owned, it's a whole different ball game now, because remember,

only twenty percent of people cashing a tournament. So if the Yankees stack is the percent owned, you could have a Yankee stack, it could go off, and you still might not wind up cashing tonight. Now on a night where they're like the only team that's a big total, Okay, I understand it, but you know, there's a corps Field game last night. The corps Field game was lower owned than I've ever seen a corps Field game on a slate before. I mean, basically it was like people were

avoiding it like the plague. And it actually wasn't a bad deal because there weren't a lot of runs there. But that's the thing. I mean, if the Yankees are gonna start soaking up thirty and forty of the ownership now, it actually is getting to the point where for tournaments at least, you gotta start considering fading them because now they're the uber Chalk, and you know, having them doesn't even guarantee that you're gonna win anymore. Now and that's

a good good point there. Benny brings out about the Yankees and the anticipated action that they should get tonight. Next up San Francisco and Atlanta. Jeff Somaga, Sean Newcome, Uh Somantra struting up and lefties and right He's righty and righty to eighty five way on base average lefties four. Newcome can't get lefty on lefties out. And this could be an admiration because he hasn't pictured that many innings

one eighty. He's shutting down the right handed bats. His ground ball rate, he's keeping the ball on the ground six fifty against reties lefties is six. The kids pitching good. This is the game where I'm gonna I'm using Jeff's mogi against the Atlanta team. Uh. Not a lot of left handed bats there. With an equality left handed bats and some striking out people, I think the Braves could

score some runs now. The only negative is rain if their rains in this game, and is rain and the forecast, I don't have a backup plan, so I'm gonna have to figure something out. You got Inciata and Nick mark Cake is left in the bats. Matt on Us, who's been on fire and then they got Rio Ruiz starting tonighting Atlanta. Yeah, so I have some Marja's my number

one picture on the board right now too. And I mean the backup plan that you have is you gotta figure out some way to gain I think it's fifteen or sixty hundred dollars is over on draft kings, because you're just gonna go from some MARSA. You're gonna go up to Carlos Carrasco if if things work out bad with the weather. That's the that's the downside here today. But I gotta be honest, I love some mars I

mean you look, you look at that game log. Most of the games that he's going, he's going six or seven innings, like you said, he's had some good case stuff this year. His strikeout rate is up. He did get rock last time out. But I'm always willing to excuse a guy who gets rocked in course field. I mean, to me, that's just a game he just cross off

and look at it. And if you cross that game off and look at the rest of his game log, like I said, six seven innings, three runs, six or seven k's, and he's about a dollars cheaper than Carrasco over two thousand dollars on draft kings, cheaper than um Burials, and I think all three of them are likely to

score around twenty Fantasy points tonight. So I'll take the two thousand dollar discount on a guy who I think can get the same amount of points as the guy up top and let you fit in some more bats today. I totally agree. So we're on the same page when it comes to people out there, uh with how to go about the top picture tonight? Next game on the agenda, And um, what about Sean Newcome. I'm not targeting him, and I think it wouldn't surprise me if he pitches

bad or if he pitches good. Yeah, I mean, the kid's pretty good. We talked about him before that last start and we said, you know, keep an eye on him, watch him, see how he goes. You know, he's not bad. The problem I have it I'm not really in love with any of these giants bats. We know that Atlanta is a place where left handers do better, and you talked about how you know lefties have hit him better,

But we're talking about a small sample size. I mean, he says what his third big league start or I think it might be his third appearance, second big league start, or something along those lines. I mean, the kids have been good. Is the r A is like to you know, the whip is one point too, so it's not that bad. I mean, pretty solid numbers all around for the lefty. But again, you know he's got some k upside. We have seen a small sample size. It can be tricky

when you when that happens. I kind of agree with you. If he pitched well, I wouldn't be surprised. If he got lit up, I wouldn't be surprised. But I'm not using him and I'm not targeting bats again them really Toronto in Texas tonight, Joe Bianni and Tyson Ross go at it now. People are in love with the way Ross started this game at eleven total, So that tells you I'm not in love with the way this kid is pitching. I think that, you know what, he's gonna

have ups and downs. He's been out too long. Uh, the injuries, same injury we see with Matt Harvey. This is not gonna be something that's gonna be there. His numbers are all over the place because they're small. Uh, left handed is a hitting three thirty four win on Bass Savage. It shows him dominating right. He's at two eighty five. His strikeoutrage to right, he's to lefties, and he has a high fly ball rate against right handed batters.

That's I mean, these numbers make no sense because they're so small there in Las Vegas is telling you that, hey, this Kicken isn't totally all the way there. Secondly, Joe Bianni, if you look at his numbers, those numbers are amazing, but he's been getting racked around lately. This is a guy. Listen to these numbers, three or five. We just lefties great, two right, he's great, strikeout right against left, he's great right. I guess eight said okay, but groundball it's fifty seven

and fifty three percent. I don't like either picture in this game. I think they're both in numbers. You can throw out the window and he can throw away in all the offices you want. Um. Half agree with you, half don't agree with you. I am not a fan of be a genie at all. I mean, he is a guy that I think you can target against. So I do like the Rangers bats in this game. I think the Rangers bats are in a pretty good spot here on the other side of this game, though. I

am using Ross in some of my tournaments tonight. He's only sixty three hundred, which is pretty cheap. Now. He's only had one start this year. This is gonna be his second start. He's missed a ton of time and has been out there. I understand it's a big total. I realize all that. I know that Ja's have been

hitting pretty well lately. He's a guy that is very risky, Don't get me wrong, but I wanted to pay up for some bats today and I wanted to use some Marja and when he came down to what I was looking at, those guys in that mid six is ice range, and you've got a couple of them today. You've got Mikey Fires, you got Michael Waka, and you got Tyson Ross.

Of those three, Tyson Ross was the one that I had the most faith in because I just can't play Waker, and honestly, I've hated Fires for years and I know a lot of people like him and they've been throwing him in there. I just can't do it. So I went with Ross today. Now again, I'm telling you guys. Now it's risky, but again at sixty three hundred, I mean, if this guy can go another five or six innings and get us four or five k's and limited to two runs or less, he's gonna wind up with fifteen

or sixteen. And to be perfectly honest with you, Tony, I just really think that the Rangers bats, which have been hitting well lately, are gonna light up be a genie today. And you know I'm gonna get a cheap win out of Tyson Ross as long as he can get me five innings. Let's get five intes. You should almost spend fourteen hundred more. Fourteen hundred more would be seventies seven. Who is that? Seventy seven? Is that Montgomery? I cannot I cannot do that today, damn it. You

know what, San Francisco Atlanta. I just got an update. We might have to be looking for backup LANs on this, so Margia thing, Tony, it doesn't look good in the San Francisco Atlanta games. Yeah, yeah, so we'll well after we'll come address that on the way back after the break. Um, you listen to a lineup blog show brought you by Deli Rodo dot com. But if you guys get out there, you got Jeff Somager, you got any bats in that game, and make sure you get them out and we'll come back.

We'll talk about that. We'll give you some more alternatives for tonight. You listen to a line of blog show brought you by Deli Rodo dot com. Coming back with more baseball after this. Welcome back to a Lot of Blood show brought to by Dell to come. We've got some bad reports on weather concerning uh, the Atlanta San Francisco game tonight. So if you guys need to make a move, I need to get your guys out of

that game tonight. Yeah. I just that's basically what I just did during the break here, Tony, Like I said, you can go up to Carrasco. I think that's the smart way to go about doing it, because you know, to me some margin Carrasco, we're my two favorite pictures. But I was taking some margina because it was a fifteen hundred dollar discount. The problem is when you do that, now you gotta go figure out how you're gonna get fifteen hundred dollars worth of bats out of your lineup

or you know, you. Really, the only way to do it is you got to kind of go to some of those guys that were higher priced than your lineup and you know, drop down to a guy in the thirty five hundred range or something from one of those five k guys. Yeah, you know, life isn't easy though. Life is full of difficulties than people over calm eating every day. Yeah, that is true. That is very true. So hey, like I said, I figured it out. I had two minutes during the break and I figured it out.

So I'm sure everybody out there will figure it out for their lineups to so people get on it, figure out how to get it done. Let's get it done, no excuses tonight. We're all winners. Play like a champion. There. I feel like I feel better now, Yeah, I do too. I actually don't mind the lineup that the change that I made I had. I had Gary Sanchez in there.

So if you were like me and you had Gary Sanchez had Catcher and you had Jeff so Marja as your starting pitcher, I'll give you the swerve right here that you make. There's two you. You go up to Carrasco and that gives you thirty four hundred dollars if you didn't have any other cash left remaining. So then for thirty four hundred dollars, you have two options that

you can take a catcher. If you come down from Sanchez, it's either Jason Castro, who's playing in that Minnesota game that we're going to talk about in a minute and how we love that Minnesota stack. Or if you already have a Minnesota stack and you're you know, filled up on those bats, you go to Tony Walter's the lefty that's playing in Colorado today. So I think those are two very viable options and very easy swerves to make.

All right, So here's what I did. If you listen to my lineup show this morning on DFS today, if you can get every day it tuned to Google Play, I had that lineup that I'm using the tournament. So at first base, I had Mark Reynolds in. At second base, I had mother there. So what I did is I dropped down to Chase Outley at first base, who I think is could hit leadoff against pill from the Mets, who uh basically he that he must be Viagora because

bats rise against this kid. And then I used uh, Darwin Barney a second base, So I dropped from Matta who was a punt play to Darwin Barney and right there that made me move up to Paxton from I mean from to Carrasco from Jeff so Margery and I still have two undre bucks left over. And I'll tell you what, I got some major lumber in this lineup. When you guys he had a lineup, you're gonna say, man, how does he do it? He's so smart? That's it, you know. I always say, Tony, Tony definitely make sure

he brings the wood every night. So yes, yes, you're gonna bring me whatever now, Pittsburgh Milwaukee tonight. Um. In this game, we got Junior Guarrera Trevor Williams going at it um. This is a game that could have some offense and it wouldn't shock me. Guerrera has pitched well except for that last time. I have to sixty weight basically average against lefties right, he's three hundred striking out

of lefties eighteen percent of righty's. Now, Trevor Williams is a guy that I don't mind attack in three fifties six verse um lefties way on mice average five right he's only striking out fourteen. They gave Eric Tames the night off tonight, Domingo Santana will be in that two hole. Um, so Heilly isn't play. I think Eric Sogards in play tonight. Hay Susan Agila is another guy at first pace that can he when he plays, he hits Travis Shaw, Herny Perez.

I like the Brewish side of the stack. Yeah, I'm a big fan of the Brewis side of the stack tonight. And here's the thing. The lefties in this lineup. You know, lefties going up against Trevor Williams have been guys who have been able to rack up hits. So you look at a guy like so Guard who's been racking up hits. On top of that order, you look like a guy like Travis Shaw, who's more of a you know, singles doubles kind of hitter himself. I like both of those

guys today. The other problem Williams has had, the right handed bats have been the ones that are flashing the power against them. So you look at the right e's in Santana and Aggie are and and Hernan Perez. I like all three of them as well. So I agree with Tony. I think it's a very good spot that you can stack them up and then Guerre on the other side of this game is a really interesting guy to me. I mean, he's been pretty good. You know,

you look at his numbers right now. His numbers have been good, and it's not a huge sample size because he did miss parts of the season. But here's the thing. The way to go after him has really been with right handed power bats. And there's one guy in particular on Pittsburgh who's a right handed bat that's actually been hitting very well lately. I don't know, do you know who I'm talking about, Tony uh No, Andrew McCutcheon, who's up to twelve home runs. It has been hitting well.

He profiles very well in this bot. I think it might be short change of one. I think he might have thirteen. He he has really really hit well. I'll tell you, I can never go for him like I don't know, and that's he's just inspiring. And I'm telling you guys, that's exactly why he's a one off tournament play tonight. Because he's hitting sixth in the order. It's righty on righty. He had a tough start to the year. There are so many reasons not to play Andrew McCutchen today,

but I'm telling you lately, he's been hitting. He's been hitting for power, and he's going up against a guy and a righty on righty matchup. He's getting a good park shift to a home run ball parking in Milwaukee. I'm not saying throw this guy in your cash game lineup. He's expensive to at dred so he's not gonna find his way into your line up unless you actively put him there. I think you get mc cutchen today at two or three percent old, and I think that Cutch

has a chance to go yard tonight. Minnesota and Chicago White Sux Buriers a two hundred all a favorite. The totally nine a half, which surprised me, is that low. So there's actly Jason Burrios getting it done tonight now. Burials, for as good as he's pitching, his strikeout totals are not big nine. They're lefties. A hit three thirty six, weight on bass average rights three fifty two. Um, the

guy could play now. David Holmberg has very limited numbers and pitched well one thirty five waited on base average of versus him with lefties right, he's two fifty three. Now here's the part. He doesn't strike people out fourteen and fifteen percent lefty on lefty, they've kept the ball on the ground fifty eight percent. Um. There's a couple of bats with the Minnesota Twins that hit lefties well, and they're at the top of the order. Dojer Escoba

Miguelson know all hit lefties? Well? Yeah, I absolutely love Miguelson. Know, he was my He's my pick to hit two home runs tonight. So he's my you know, my double don called the night tonight. I think he can go yard more than once. I also really really like Dozer in this spot. He's a great one off play at second bay. And then, like you said before, I mean, if you want to stack these guys up and even throwing a guy like Grossman, a guy like Vargas, you know, switch

hitters who could be hitting from you on the right side. Yeah, no, very nice. And that's what that's the thing. I mean, you could stack these bats up and still have money to pay up at pitching, or to pay up and go get like an arrand judge or you know whatever other stud bat you want. To put into your lineup today. I don't disagree with you. I mean, I think Barrios is very good. We talked about it at the beginning. I don't expect anybody on the White Sox to have

a good game. If you had to pick bats against them, it'd be guys like a bray you and have a sale. But I'm not even touching them tonight. But the fact that there's a ten total here and we think that Barrios is gonna have a good game and maybe only give up, you know, three or four runs. That's why Minnesota has such a high team total, low prices, high team total. You know, like you said, Hamburg has been good, but he doesn't go deep into games and he has

been hit a little bit lately. I like this Minnesota stack. And if you don't want to stack him up, I definitely think mcguil so know at that thirty nine dollar price is somebody who should be a one off play on a lot of ross. There's definitely cash game. If you're not playing them there, you're crazy. Here's the here's the thing. Homeburg has only forty two winnings pitched this year, and the number has been great. One point seven sixt r A at triple actually two point six three at

the majors. But he has a strand ray that's eighty nine percent seventy six percent. He only strikes out five point to seven. So taking a whole season in do account last year, hundred sixty innings over hundred seven innings over uh double A and triple A. His e ra is over four, his caper nines at five, and his home run the fly ball ratio is eleven. Uh So there are numbers to work there. His whole thing is to keep the ball on the ground because he isn't

gonna strike anyone out. Yeah, and again, Minnesota five and a five point four eight I think is their team total right now, so basically five and a half. It's one of the higher team totals on the day, one of the higher team totals by a team that's not the Yankees or you know, one of the teams playing the course. So yeah, I think it's a great spot here. You're not gonna get any arguments from me if you want to stack up Minnesota. Next game on the agenda tonight,

as we make sure you've got everything you need. Arizona and Colorado Jeff Hoffman Taiwan Walker. I'm at Jeff Hoffman fan. Somehow he pitches well, but I can't use them tonight. Eleven and a half is the total in this one, Colorado A one forty four favorite. I amy on the Rocky bats against Taiwan Walker's come back off an injury. You never know what you're gonna get with Mr Walker. He's hit or miss, and um, the numbers are not bad.

Three eleven. Wait on Massa's lefties, right, he's three twenty seven. He pitches in the park that's a volatile as it is in Arizona. But I'm going with Charlie. Blackman calls Gonzal's price is too low. Mirca reynolds Is price is too low, and I think he and Desmond's price is too low. Oh sorry, I I just got another update here. But let's talk about this first, and then I'll tell you about the update because that's gonna be some big

news too, and might throw another wrench at the things tonight. Yeah, I agree with you. I want the lefties, I want black Man, I want Gonzalez. If you want to go down to Tony Walters as well, I think all three

of those guys are in play. You know, guy like Aronado is is pretty good and righty on righty matchups, and for some reason, I just really feel like both sides of this game are gonna go a little lower own than they should for a game within you know, a twelve total is what it's up to right now. Colorado's at six and a half hour, Zone is at five and a half, and I do think there's gonna be some runs scored here today. Uh. Hoffman is a guy who's more of an extreme flyball pitcher. I agree

with you, He's got a decent k rate. He's actually been pretty good in small sample size here. You know, lefty is the way you want to attack him. So guys like Lamb Peralta probably the best bats, uh you know, Blanco and the scalso, but I mean right He's have also shown some pop against him. Right He's have shown some some power against them. So if you do want to go with a guy like gold Schmidt, I understand,

but I agree. I'm kind of more on Colorado. But as important as this game is, Tony, you know what I just saw here, there's gonna be a delay in the start of this Cleveland Baltimore game as well. So not only do we have some rain with Jeff Samarsia, we might also have some rain concerns that we have to keep an eye on with Carlos Carrasco now, so kind of throws a little wrench into it. It looks like this some Margia game is a much bigger problem. I don't think it's gonna be a major problem in

Cleveland Baltimore. I think it will just be a delay and they'll be able to play afterwards. That's all. We want a little delay and it will go from there. Here's the problem with the Arizona Bats. They got park adjustin and the priced to too high for me. Tonight Blanco forty six hundred, Peraltis five thousand, Paul golzundred, Jake Lamb fifty six hundred, Brandon Dermy's forty six on it.

Damia to Lasco was twenty seven hundred, last night's thirty seven hundred tonight and then at fort hundred, So they just get priced out for me. Yeah, but that's why I'm saying in the tournament, I think that's why it's a good place to go, because I think you're gonna have people going in other directions, and you know, kind of leaving a game in course field with a road team guaranteed twenty seven outs and that has a five

and a half plus team total is gonna go lower owns. Also, the next game we got all on the agenda tonight as we threw out of to they get home on a Wednesday night in DFS Houston, Oakland, Mike Fires and Sean mniare This game is a nine total. I don't like either picture, and based on the offense is Yeah, you can go and pick and choose some of these guys, but I don't see any matchups that I truly love. I think the one matchup you could look at is

that Chris David's goings a flyball pitcher. Uh, he could jump in and give you there. And if Chad Pittons batt in second, you could throw him tonight because he's a cheap price. Yeah. I'm pretty sure that they just announced the line of Pinder is batting second. Yeah, yeah, Davis is fourth, and Ryan Healey hitting six. Those are the three guys that I like. Fires is a guy who gives up a lot of home runs, So anybody

with home run upside, I think it's in play here. Um. On the other side of this game, I mean, Mania has been pretty good, but man, this is a very good offense. That a very good offense that he has to face today. Springer and al two are probably two of the most elite bats in the entire league against left handed pitching. So if you wanted to go that route, I understand. I think Houston is gonna be very o owned and I really do like them today, So I think that is a decent slow own stack you can

go against next up Dodges and Mets. I'll tell you what I didn't mention Rich Hill. He pitched really poorly. Who was last time out? This could be the recipe. Looks all the bets. Nine is the total. I love the Dodgers bats to night, the left handed bats, and we want to go up. Hill's four sixty three way on base everagainst lefties, he only strikes out fifteen percent of lefties and right he's only Um, this Doggies offense has been there that ballpark. The ballpark balls are flying

out of there right now. Yeah. I love the Dodgers here today. On the other side, you know, Hill is a guy who's good lefty on lefty, and the Mets are very left handed, so it's a tough spot for the Mets. Stay tuned for a conclusion A lot of what show worked by Dailly dot com. Welcome back to the line Up Block Show, but Rodo dot com one more game before we give you our right ups. Detroit, Seattle, Verlin a Verse James Paxiston as the Paxson's two prices.

I'm throwing them out there strugging. Variety's left his fift, his weight on bass average below three, verlind Or up skid death against. He's been pitching brutal, and I wouldn't go there from an offensive perspective, though I don't love anyone from an offensive point in this game. Uh you could go if you're playing a late slate and throw something against the wall, but I don't love anyone on

this one. Now. I can't use either one of these pitchers because Packiston has been horrible since he's came off the d L, and Verlander, who I have in a whole bunch of season long leagues, has not been very good either. These two guys are both pitching about as bad as they've pitched all season long. Right now, I don't know if I can take the bats against them, but I am not touching either one of these yes tonight,

So you know, I don't know. I mean, Paxiston's a guy having a lot of season long leagues too, but right now these guys are garbage. Paxston, his last three stops says minus three point eight. In his last start zero point four and twelve and a half before May thirty one, he put up twenty six Fantasy points. Uh so I'm going with talent. I'm going over with talent in a recent form and seeing how it plays out.

Isn't my lot of tonight? Carlos Carrasco ten thousand, nine hundred, James Paxston seventy seven hundred, Yasmanti Grondel left handed, beat against pill hundred, Chase out Late thirty three hundred, other lefty, Darwin Bonnie and just a punt playing together the high total one mcguilson old thirty nine hundred, Cory Sega forty seven hundred, Coty Bellinger fifty two hundred, Charlie Blackman fifty six hundred, and Carlos Gonzalez thirty six hundred. So Dotties

and Rockies in the baths yeah. So I went with Carlos Carrasco, and like I said, I'm gonna go with Tyson Ross. I like Tyson Ross. Here um I went with uh Walters and Carlos Gonzalez from Colorado. I threw in Miguel so know who Tony and I both love tonight, and then I stacked up Cleveland. So I have Incarnacione, I have Kiptness, I have Lindora, I have chisen Hall, and I have Zimmer because those are the guys price wise that fit into my lineup. And what you should

have is fantasy freestyle on the night Tonight. Dane Martinez is coming up next and he's he's ready and we gonna go. I'm sure he's gonna talk some NBA two. They get things going fast and furious. I don't know why anyone wants Dwight Howard. Maybe Dane knows. I would hope that somebody knows. The only person I think who knows is you know, the Charlotte GM not traded for him because he's a dog man, So get your dog spitting and nuded. I don't Dwight Howard hasn't. We're gonna

come back with fantasy Freestyle. But we'll be back tomorrow night at six pm Eastern
