Welcome back to the Fantasy Free Styles Boy Jane Martinez Speeds and spitting Statistician holding you down. On a Thursday, we are live here at Rock and Riley's Studio thirty four. The weather has been absolutely beautiful here in New York. It's a little cooler than it was when I felt like I needed to sweat and take four showers a day. It's real nice. We got some people out there on
the roof deck patio enjoying their happy hour. But right now, if you're listening in live on one of our sports byline affiliates out in the Pacific time zone, maybe you know you're stuck on the four h five, or you know, just getting into happy hour yourself. Hopefully your boy Speeds the Spitting Statistician, can you know, ease you on into a Friday, a summertime Friday, with you know, some tips to help you win some cash and be ready for
the weekend. Let's start going around news and notes from Major League Baseball as we get into our starting lineup. UH Michael Brantley, the outfielder for the Cleveland Indians, who actually had a great game against Clayton Kirkshaw earlier this week. He is going to be out missing some time for the birth of his child. We say congratulations to the Brantley family as well as his wife Melissa, hoping that uh, you know, mommy and baby are happy and healthy. We
got the Red Sox starting pitcher Brian Johnson. He's gonna go on to the d L. Red Sox putting him in the d L with the left shoulder injury. He left his start earlier this week and the third inning and has gone directly to the d L. Make note of that. Matt Shoemaker also yesterday left his start against the Yankees and the fourth inning. He's listed as day to day. Make sure you check that in your lineups
as well. Donny Burns given up those beats. That's what we do here on the Fantasy Freestyle, dropping stats over beats so you can win your leagues and win nag cash. Also Matt Harvey, as the Mets saga continues, Matt Harvey is gonna go see a doctor after his start last night. What they're calling arm fatigue. I'm saying this is a
big time red flag. Remember this is the guy coming off of Tom John surgery who just had that thoracic injury, and they were all sorts of question marks going into his staff men are going into this season, so we
shall see. Also, um, I'd be remiss if I did not mention, especially to our folks maybe listening on the American Forces Radio network, that baseball game between the Republicans and the Democrats is going on as scheduled tonight from Nationals Park in d C. Hopefully this could be the beginning of people really toning down their rhetoric and working together. A great embodiment of that tonight at Nationals Field Republicans
versus Democrats. All Right, last night, I gotta admit to you, guys, last night I told you the way to go as Corey Klueber, who was the chalk and was the most expensive at ten two hundred on Fandel he delivered, gave you seven innings of quality work and struck out ten giving you the qualities start. So probably you did pay up and did Okay, I apologize to you. We hold each other accountable here on the Fantasy Freestyle, Man, I did not The guys I got you last night to
try to beat Kluber did not go well. I told you about Dylan Bundy that didn't go that well, he only went five. He get you a window against the White Sox, but he did give up four runs. Not what you were looking for if you want with Dylan Bundy. Michael Planta also was just kind of after having quality starts in six of his last seven outings, he gave up five runs. That was not the best thing. Also, I told you about Mike Leak, but he did not do it either. So hopefully I'm gonna do a little
bit better tonight. Remember the truck tonight is Chris Sale against the Phillies at eleven thousand, five hundred, going against Nick Pavetta. No, not the NBA ref Nick Bavetta, but Nick Pavetta for the Phillies. Who's got a five point five e r ray. You gotta think Sale, and you gotta think if you stack some of those Red Sox,
that could be an interesting matchup for you tonight. Listen, if you want to try and beat it, though I have to bargain basement guys, that could be good because listen, Sale hasn't been uh, you know, as strong and is at the beginning of the season. Here's two guys for you. How about Jordan Montgomery at seventy five hundred on FanDuel. The Yankees have been hot. This guy is pitching at Oakland tonight, a great park change, you know, going from
Yankee Stadium to Oakland. And also Montgomery has been getting better in each of his last few starts, went all the way up to seven innings pitched as they stretch him out, and struck out eight in his last start against Oakland. I think you can get Jordan Montgomery with a reasonable facts simile of the performance of Sale potentially tonight. Also, Jeff Hoffman is going for only sixties hundred. He's actually been good, but I don't know if you could stomach
an outing happening at Coors Field. If so, the upside for strikeouts is there. And uh, you know the Giants do not score runs, lowest run total in the National League. Those are two guys. But hey, if you want cash games, want to go up for Chris Sale. I completely understand what I want to do also here on the Fantasy Freestyle, because I feel bad about giving you people that maybe did not help you win cash last night. So what I want to also do is look at our season
long folks out there. If you're playing season long Fantasy you might need some people. I found some diamonds in the rough for you. These are people that are owned in less than fifty and in most cases less than a third of standard leagues out there some people that have been killing it in the last month that may still be on your wave a wire. So you know,
that's what we do here on the Fantasy Freestyle. I want, you know, I want to put you onto some of these people so that you could, you know, start to move up in the standings. First of all, check out Cameron Maybron. Cameron Mayban, who's basically in from Mike Trout in the last month, has a one point one one two op yes. And the thing is, this guy is a speedster, and they're steals are scared right now. He's got eleven stolen bases over the last month twenty on
the season. But the thing is, over the last couple of weeks, Cameron Mayban is hitting four twelve, and I think this is sustainable. His babbit is three twelve, which is a little higher than league average, but that's what happens when you have these speeds. There's there babbit is naturally higher. I really really like Cameron Mayban recently and he has only owned in forty three percent of leagues. Especially if you need steals or run scored, go out
and get Cameron Naven another guy. I want to tell you about. This guy I have been on for a wild LOMO of the Tampa Bay Rays, Logan Morrison, is still only forty percent owned
