0:03Okay, welcome in. It is time for Total
0:04Bases. It is Thursday. My voice is shot.
0:08I'm battling a cold. I was up. I watched
0:11baseball for from the from the first
0:13pitch of the White Socks game until
0:15sadly the last pitch of the Padres's
0:17game. I was on the Padres's last night
0:19and uh Garrett Mitchell did not want me
0:22to win that bet. He had probably the
0:24best game of his career. couple big
0:26hits, made a big play in the outfield,
0:28and um the the way the games played out
0:32yesterday have uh left us with only one
0:34game for today and and really one game
0:37until the weekend until we get the next
0:39uh series going. Uh depending on what
0:41the result of today's game is. So, uh
0:43one and one overall for me yesterday,
0:45lost a 5% play with the Padres's, but I
0:47did hit the LG Twins in the morning for
0:49a split. Um so, not the end of the
0:52world. Uh, Tokyo Brandon, did you get
0:54involved with anything yesterday? How
0:56was your day?
0:59>> Well, Tokyo Brandon's muted, so we'll go
1:01to Brian. Brian, how was your day?
1:03>> Yeah, we uh we went two and one uh when
1:05my baseball split the hockey. You
1:07mentioned Gary Mitchell. It seems like
1:09he's either doing nothing or he's doing
1:12everything. He's had some of these great
1:14fantastic games this season and then
1:16he'll go a week and he'll go 0 and4
1:18every day game. It's It's been very
1:20strange.
1:22Yeah. Hadn't hadn't done anything in the
1:24play like up until yesterday.
1:26>> Gets the big hit to give the Brewers
1:28their first run. Gets the triple to set
1:30up their second run and then takes the
1:31the home run away from Manny Machado.
1:33Although I think that was a little
1:34overblown. I It was kind of a routine
1:36play. I don't think that was like some
1:38sort of incredible catch. But uh all I
1:41wish, Brian, is the Padres's fans tried
1:43as hard as the Yankee fans to get that
1:45home run over the wall. Maybe would we
1:47would have got it over the wall. Paul
1:49Tokyo Brandon. Speaking of the Yankees,
1:50they get swept. That was surprising to
1:52me. I I gave the Yankees out as my best
1:55bet for the show yesterday and uh they
1:57got swept by the Rays. So, um in really
2:01interesting how the games played out
2:02yesterday. I have to be honest, not
2:04really the way I thought. Um so, I'm
2:06curious to see if you had any good
2:07opinions and how was your Wednesday?
2:10>> I went one and one yesterday. I thought
2:14the Guardians game would be under and I
2:16lost that uh in in immaculate fashion
2:21and uh then I had the uh the what was it
2:26the Dodgers game first inning under I
2:28believe first inning under no runs no
2:31nerfy or whatever they call it. So I
2:33went one and one um but I did go 3 and 0
2:36this morning in Japanese basketball if
2:38anyone cares about that. So, still
2:41number one in profit among the 33
2:43cappers in 2026. So, happy to be here
2:46and happy to talk this game today.
2:50>> Yeah. Uh Curtis, Curtis, I I just saw
2:53your DM. He has DM'd a question, but
2:56it's more of a general question for the
2:58next round. So, I will put that at the
3:00end. I just wanted to to respond to you.
3:03I see your message. We will get it in uh
3:05to the show. Uh but we got business to
3:07take care of first. Brian, I'll let you
3:09start. That is your Cleveland Guardians
3:11live to fight another day. Um, they
3:14finally I guess when I'm watching that
3:16game, to me, it's like, okay, we that we
3:20finally saw the White Socks not get out
3:22in front and have everything go their
3:24way early in the game. And that really
3:26changes things for how things go for the
3:29White Socks. you saw what happens when
3:31they don't have that early lead, when
3:33they can't just like pass the torch to
3:35their high leverage relievers and the
3:37Guardians offense broke out a little
3:39bit. Um, so now the Guardians, they're
3:43one game away from leveling the playing
3:44field and going back home for a winner
3:46take all game five and they have their
3:48ace Parker Messi on the mound. Do you
3:50feel like the tide started to turn
3:52yesterday? Do you like your Guardians in
3:54game four?
3:55>> A lot of strange moves yesterday. I'm
3:57still upset that the manager brought in
4:01the closer, Cade Smith, with a four-run
4:03lead in the eighth. And even worse, he
4:05brought him back with a six-run lead in
4:07the ninth. Yeah, he only threw 19
4:09pitches, but still, why do you have him
4:12out there in a game that you're leading
4:14by four runs? I I don't understand it.
4:18Uh yeah, they they had some guys in the
4:20bullpen that they they used, but you got
4:23to try to use somebody else. Uh Mac
4:25Festa, bring him in. let him give it a
4:28shot. He gives up two runs, then he
4:29bring in Smith. I didn't understand
4:31that. Now he's got to come back and play
4:32again today. Uh so anyway, we're looking
4:35at a couple lefties. Messi and Smith,
4:37both lefties here. And uh right now
4:40Cleveland is about a one 12 favorite.
4:44Total is seven to the over heavily or
4:46seven and a half to the under heavily.
4:48Uh Cleveland on the season has not hit
4:52well for Messi. Uh he never seems to get
4:54any run support, but he's been one of
4:56the best pitchers in Major League
4:57Baseball. Uh this will be the fifth time
5:01he has faced the White Socks in the last
5:04I believe it's been one and a half
5:06months. So the White Sox have got a lot
5:09of looks at him. I think that may be an
5:12advantage in this one. Um Smith was used
5:15yesterday uh for a short amount of time,
5:19but still um when you got a guy that you
5:22were hoping to get maybe three innings
5:23out of and you pitch him the day before,
5:25that limits you a little bit today. I
5:26think he'll only go an inning or two. Um
5:29they do have uh their best bullpen guy
5:32available. So, uh, I'm assuming they're
5:35both going to go today, but, uh, it it's
5:39a strange handicap here because I came
5:41in thinking I wanted the White Socks,
5:44but
5:47I don't I don't know if I I don't know
5:49if I trust him. Uh, having that fifth
5:52time in in like five five or six weeks
5:54against uh against Messi has definitely
5:57got to be an advantage for him, but the
6:00pitching staff kind of worries me here.
6:02I don't know. May maybe I don't know.
6:05It's this this one Columbus assists me.
6:07I had the uh the game over yesterday.
6:10That was my top baseball play. This one
6:12it's it's really hard to handicap. Um
6:15Cleveland is playing for their lives
6:18here, so they able to do anything
6:19possible. And of course, we've already
6:21seen that out of the White Socks. So, I
6:23uh maybe you've got a better idea of
6:25what they're going to do from a pitching
6:26standpoint in this game than I do.
6:29>> Let's get TB in here. I will just
6:31quickly say that I was surprised to I
6:33was also surprised to see them uh the
6:35Guardians put Smith out there because
6:36it's not like he really needed work. I
6:38mean, he's he's pitched every other day
6:40the last week. So, um yeah, that that
6:43was surprising to see them just run up
6:45his pitch count in a six-run game.
6:48>> Yeah,
6:48>> because if they're in I mean, season's
6:50on the line. He's going to be out there
6:51today uh if if if the spot dictates it.
6:54So, uh yeah, that was that was the
6:57pretty much the only decision I didn't
6:59agree with. Other than that, I thought
7:00Steven Vote had a tremendous game.
7:02Pushed all the right buttons and um good
7:04really good game yesterday for the
7:06Guardians. Tokyo Brandon Guardians White
7:08Socks game four. How do you think the
7:10White Socks play this? Because there are
7:12some questions with with what they do
7:14here.
7:15>> Yeah, I mean, first thought is to favor
7:20the team that has the legitimate
7:22starter, but I thought that yesterday in
7:24the Yankees game and we saw how that
7:26turned out. you know, any any legitimate
7:29starter, and we saw this in some of the
7:32other games as well. I mean, the the the
7:35really good starters like Freed and
7:38Schlitler, they they're very prone to
7:41give up two runs and and two runs in
7:43this series is very important. Um, very
7:48low scoring. Um, game two was very low
7:50scoring. Game one was a little up there.
7:53Uh, over six and a half. I think they
7:54scored seven in that one. I won the
7:56over, but uh yesterday lots of runs. I
8:00think this is going to be a low run kind
8:01of showdown kind of thing. It's all
8:03hands on deck and uh especially for the
8:06Guardians. Uh they're going to put every
8:10arm they have out there to to uh claw
8:13back into this series. I don't know if
8:15it's going to be enough, though. I think
8:16the White Socks are playing with a
8:18little momentum. I I realize they lost
8:20yesterday, but they just seem like they
8:22have they have a little more momentum
8:24and and
8:26they seem to have the better bullpen
8:27right now. Season long they didn't have
8:29the better bullpen, but like you said,
8:32some some of their some of their guys
8:33are stepping up. I don't like the fact
8:35that that they used uh Smith yesterday,
8:41but you know, I mean, when it's all
8:43hands on deck and and uh like Brian's
8:46t-shirt says, balls to the wall, you got
8:48to do what you got to do, you know. Um
8:51so I I don't know. I It seems I mean,
8:55numbers wise, you would think the
8:56Guardians have the advantage, but it
8:58seems to me like the the White Socks are
8:59going to end this series today.
9:02So, you know, I've talked about the
9:06Hagen Smith Grant Taylor combination
9:08being something I' I'd love to play on
9:11because I really think if you know if
9:12you know you're going to get six innings
9:15from those two, I'm not saying that's
9:17what's going to happen here. I'm just
9:18saying if you knew that was going to be
9:19the case, like that to me is as valuable
9:23as like a Parker Messik or or like an
9:25ace, right? So, I've kind of been
9:26betting that way um with the White
9:29Socks, you know, the last couple weeks
9:31when it looks like they've kind of
9:33figured out that that's an option. But
9:35the re the only reason that that's an
9:37option and it's a recurring option for
9:39the White Socks is they have no starting
9:42pitching. like what you're seeing right
9:44now and what what what I'm starting to
9:45realize is there is they they don't have
9:48a single starting pitcher outside of
9:51maybe Shawn Burke that like will venal
9:55trust in a playoff game. And so the way
9:58I'm looking at it
10:00Yeah. I mean, think about think about
10:01the guys that started games for the
10:03White Socks this season. The rotation
10:05Luis Castillo, he's not even on the
10:07roster. Eric Fetty, I don't maybe we've
10:10seen him
10:11>> hasn't even pitched yet in this series,
10:13>> right? Hasn't pitched yet in this
10:14series. I think we saw him briefly
10:16against the Astros. Davis Martin, he
10:19he's dealt with a cap injury, so he he's
10:21been out I think they got he got into
10:23the game yesterday at one point, but it
10:25was in mop-up duty. Um Sandlin has kind
10:28of been a starter, but he's he's mostly
10:30started games at TripleA this season.
10:32It's not like he's been like really in
10:34the White Sox rotation. So like that's
10:36what Venible is that that's why Benal
10:39has to manage like this and it's also
10:42what makes this such a difficult
10:43handicap because you you can't assume
10:47that he's going to use the guys that you
10:50want him to use because the game the way
10:53the game plays out dictates whether he's
10:56going to use the pitchers that you want
10:58or the pitchers that you don't want. So,
11:00we've seen it, like I said yesterday,
11:02going into yesterday's game. All we had
11:04seen so far is what happens when the
11:07White Socks get an early lead and they
11:09get up a couple runs and then they can
11:11then finish figure out how to get the
11:13early lead to the finish line.
11:15Yesterday, the Guardians punch them in
11:16the mouth, go up 4-1.
11:19Suddenly, the White Socks don't look as
11:20as when they're trailing, this just
11:23isn't as deadly of a team. They strike
11:24out a lot. Struck out a ton yesterday.
11:27So, it's like here's the way I here's
11:29the way I see the rest of this playing
11:31out. I think Venible knows he's got two
11:33bullets in the chamber. Those bullets
11:35are Grant Taylor and Hagen Smith. Now, I
11:38think you're going to see Hagen Smith
11:40treated as more of an opener here. I
11:42don't think he's because here's the
11:44problem. If you if you if you put Hagen
11:46Smith out there for three, four innings,
11:50you pro I mean, are you going to can you
11:51then use him in game five on Saturday,
11:54right? like that would that would sort
11:55of take him out of the running for game
11:57five. And I I too was very surprised
11:59like you guys were to see him out there
12:02in that game, throw a couple pitches and
12:04then be done because I think that
12:06jeopardizes his ability to probably go
12:09deep in game five. So I think you're
12:11going to see Hagen Smith open because
12:14they like the matchup against the top of
12:16the order,
12:18but then it's going to it's just going
12:19to be how the game plays out. If the
12:20White Sox score runs early, see, here's
12:23the thing with Venible, though. If he
12:25gets a lead, he's going all in on the
12:27lead. That I can tell you right now, if
12:29he's got a two-run lead in the sixth
12:31inning, expect Grant Taylor's arm to be
12:34throwing until he falls off. He
12:36literally does not care. It'll be Grant
12:38Taylor's game, and he's going to be
12:39like, "Hey, you're my best pitcher. Get
12:41us to the next round." And he'll go all
12:43in at that moment. If it works out, the
12:45White Socks are through. if it doesn't
12:47work out and the and the Guardians get
12:48him, which is very, very possible.
12:50Brian, we were texting about this on
12:52Monday night. Do you like the Guardians
12:54chances against Grant Taylor a third
12:56time in this series if they get to see
12:58him like twice through the order? I I
13:01kind of do a little bit. Like I felt
13:02like they had great at bats against him
13:04on Tuesday and it just like Adele missed
13:06a homer by a foot and there was another
13:08hard hit ball that nearly got out. So
13:11this is a really tricky handicap. I
13:14could see it going one of many ways. I
13:17don't know if I'm gonna be able to get
13:19involved here, but you like you could
13:20you could convince me on both sides and
13:22make a pretty good case for both sides
13:24here.
13:26>> Yeah, I I'm going to pass on this game
13:28unfortunately. And it's just I I don't
13:30want to force anything. And uh
13:33yeah, I I can't come up with anything.
13:36It even after listening to you guys, I'm
13:38still in the same boat.
13:41I have one play on this game,
13:43>> but uh
13:44>> All right,
13:44>> one play. Uh that's my only play so far.
13:48I'm going more in on the KBO uh tomorrow
13:52or tonight. Um
13:55I'm putting those plays up. But yeah, I
13:57do have one play that I like in this
13:58one. Um
14:00>> looking at the side though, I don't
14:02know. It seems like the White Socks are
14:03kind of a team of destiny for some
14:05reason.
14:07I felt that way until yesterday's game.
14:09I gotta be honest. I felt that way until
14:11yesterday's game. Had they come out and
14:13just played out of their minds
14:14yesterday, I probably would agree with
14:16you. But the Guardians were the better
14:18team yesterday and now I'm starting to
14:20kind of like I'm looking I'm like, "Wait
14:21a minute. They've got Parker Messik and
14:23Gavin Williams, right? like they're
14:26going to like really the the Guardians
14:28even though they're down 2-1 in my
14:30opinion kind of have the upper hand a
14:33little bit in terms of like at least
14:35each individual game and it's going to
14:37be on Will Venible to to to manage his
14:40team to a win and really it's going to
14:42be on the White Sox to get them an early
14:44lead. I I don't if the White Sox can get
14:47an early lead, I think they have a great
14:48chance. But if this if this is like one-
14:51nothing Guardians, two nothing
14:53Guardians, or even like let's say let's
14:55say the offense broke out, Jason, uh uh
14:57Jose Ramirez finally had a good game
14:59yesterday. What if the Guardians start
15:00to hit? What if they get to one of the
15:03White Socks, you know, pitchers earlier
15:05in this game? I kind of think at that
15:08point, you're venable. you got to start
15:10setting up for game five because at at
15:11the very least you've already beat Messi
15:14and you've already beat Gavin Williams.
15:15That's your advantage if you're the
15:17White Sox. You got two you got two game
15:19you need to win one of the next two
15:20games. The Guardians need to win the
15:22next two. So again, I think I think this
15:25game could go one of a million different
15:27ways and it's going to be tough to bet
15:29for that reason. I tell you, neither one
15:31of these managers want a one- nothing
15:33game in the seventh or eighth inning
15:36because then they're going to have to
15:37use all their horses and game five is
15:39going to be just a
15:41>> a a mud show.
15:44>> Yeah, I I can tell you the go the White
15:46Socks if the White Socks lose, I'm sure
15:48they'd rather rather lose like 8-1 than
15:51lose a game where they maybe have a late
15:53lead and give it up. That is for 100%
15:56certain.
15:57>> Yeah. managerial wise, you want to,
16:00>> you know, and I I I kind of saw that
16:02yesterday when I was watching the game.
16:04It kind of seemed like when when it went
16:05four to one,
16:07>> I thought, you know, the White Sox
16:09probably don't really need it that bad,
16:11but then they put Smith in. I was like,
16:13hm. So, I'm not really sure what they're
16:16thinking.
16:18>> So, like for in terms of actionable
16:20info,
16:21>> this is probably a very good live
16:23betting game in my opinion. Like we've
16:25pretty much laid out like what what we
16:28think the strategy is going to be. I
16:30think this is a good probably live
16:32betting game. Now what the best live
16:34angle would be if the White Socks are
16:37behind a little bit. I don't know. Maybe
16:39an in-game over. That's kind of what we
16:41talked about yesterday, right? Where
16:43it's like if the White Socks are behind
16:45they're going to start to push off the
16:46better relievers to game four. How many
16:49run that game ended with 12 runs
16:50yesterday. So maybe you get runs late if
16:53the White Socks are behind. And yet if
16:55it's tied or the White Socks are in the
16:57lead, maybe you look the other direction
16:59because the Guardians are, like Tokyo
17:01Brandon said, the Guardians are going to
17:03have to use their best bullpen arms. If
17:05they lose today, the series is over. And
17:07you pretty much know that you're going
17:09to get Grant Taylor from the sixth
17:11inning on if you're, you know, if you're
17:13if you're the White Sox and they have
17:15and they're tied or in the lead. So that
17:17that might be the way to play it if you
17:18have to have action in this game. A
17:21managerial nightmare scenario would be
17:23like a one-1 tie into extra innings.
17:25That would just be a nightmare for these
17:27managers.
17:29>> Yeah, it's playoff baseball. This is
17:31like, you know, that's what that's why
17:32it's hard to find like like a number of
17:35like great betting edges like
17:38>> Yeah,
17:38>> that there's the the margins are very
17:40thin.
17:41>> Price is a coin flip and it is probably
17:43coin flip. Go ahead.
17:43>> They'll start putting starters in there.
17:45We might see Williams pitch and then who
17:47are they going to start tomorrow? You
17:49know, it's going to be pandemonium if
17:51this goes into extra innings. But yeah,
17:53that's what's fun about baseball.
17:55>> The the one thing I can say is you won't
17:57see Gavin Williams step on a mountain
17:58today. That that happen.
18:00>> Yeah, that that for tomorrow.
18:03>> Okay, Curtis Vstitch, here is this
18:06question. I listen, first of all, no
18:09matter what happens here, Curtis, you
18:11put yourself in a great position. So, he
18:13has asked us um he just DM'd it to me.
18:16He said so he bet this pre-playoffs.
18:19He bet this pre-playoffs. He has um he
18:23has exact World Series matchup Brewers
18:26Rays
18:28and he has
18:30Brewers to win the World Series. So he
18:32has two different tickets. He's got
18:35Brewers RA uh Brewers Rays exact matchup
18:39and he has Brewers to win the World
18:43Series. So think about that for a
18:45second. He's asking how he should h if
18:48he should hedge, how he should hedge,
18:51and I guess what our thoughts are on
18:53that position. So again, he has Brewers
18:57raise exact match up, but he also has a
19:00Brewers to win the World Series ticket.
19:02Um, any advice for our guy Curtis
19:05holding most tickets right now? Brian,
19:07I'll let you start.
19:08>> Well, the first thing we need to know
19:09what his numbers he got on those games.
19:12Did he mention that?
19:12>> I have them. Yep. So his his Brewers
19:15ticket his Brewers raise ticket is 25
19:18to1 and then his uh Brewers to win the
19:21World Series is plus 550.
19:25>> That's what I'm reading here.
19:27>> Um I if it was me, I'd just let him
19:30ride. Um if it's if it's a if you bet it
19:34in order to hedge originally, you can go
19:38ahead and hedge. Um, but unless it's
19:41life-changing money, I would uh let it I
19:45would let it go. I I think coming into
19:47the playoffs,
19:48um Tampa Bay is better than what we
19:51thought they were going to be. Uh
19:53Milwaukee uh didn't win impressively,
19:56but uh the Dodgers
19:59didn't overly impress us. So, yeah, I I
20:03would I would stick with those two
20:04teams.
20:06TB, any advice for for Curtis on this
20:09one?
20:09>> Yeah, I I I am not a hedge person, so I
20:13I I'm kind of more all or nothing. Uh
20:15you have a chance to cash both of those,
20:17right? I mean,
20:19>> yep.
20:19>> I would hold on to them. I I think the
20:22Brewers are the best team in MLB. Uh I
20:25think they're not two notches better
20:27than the Dodgers right now. And uh I can
20:30see them coming out of that series. I
20:32mean, Henderson, Misowski,
20:36uh, you know, I I I see the Brewers
20:39winning this that series. Um, I would
20:42hold on to them as well.
20:43>> You have gonna be a Yeah, Tampa's going
20:46to be a pretty sizable favorite, I
20:48believe.
20:48>> Yep. I think Tampa is better than the
20:50Dodgers, too, in my opinion,
20:52>> right now.
20:53>> Yeah, this is this feels like when
20:56people um this feels like NCA tournament
20:59time when people are like, "Well, I've
21:01got this. I'm in this pool. I got this
21:03bracket and it's like the elite eight
21:05and or the final four and it's like how
21:07do I hedge it? And like that the hard
21:09part is
21:11you you don't want to hedge your way
21:12into a second loss, right? You don't
21:14want to
21:15>> like you theoretically there are ways to
21:17hedge there. You'd be giving up too much
21:20of your potential profit to guarantee
21:23like a small win. Now the way he bet
21:26this he's a little overleveraged into
21:28the Brewers. So, because again, you've
21:30got a Brewers, you have a Brewers ticket
21:32that's still alive regardless of what
21:35the Rays do. You have a Brewers ticket
21:37that I mean, you kind of smash if it's
21:38Rays Brewers, you do extremely well. As
21:41Brian just said, the Rays are going to
21:42be favored in the next series. I I I
21:46guess the way I would maybe spread risk
21:48around is is bet the Dodgers to win the
21:50World Series, maybe. Because then it's
21:53like that then it's like okay like then
21:56you're kind of taking the position that
21:58if the Rays win if the Rays win which
22:03you think they will because they're
22:04going to be a bigger favorite and then
22:06you have action into the Dodgers and the
22:08Brewers both to win the World Series. At
22:09least you're giving yourself like outs
22:12in the next round because then it's like
22:14okay now you know you're beat if the
22:17Rays lose but you were going to be beat
22:18anyway if the Rays lose. Whereas in this
22:21way, Ray's Brewers, you're chilling.
22:23You're you're good, right? If it's Rays
22:25Brewers, you're cashing that ticket and
22:27and you don't even need to worry about
22:28the World Series. But let's say it
22:31becomes Rays Dodgers. Well,
22:34you know, again, but then you you could
22:35play your way into two losses because if
22:37it's Rays Dodgers and now you need the
22:39Dodgers to win the World Series and they
22:41lose the World Series, then you've hit
22:42nothing at this point. So, I think it's
22:44too early for you to hedge. That that's
22:46what that's what I think. I think you
22:47need to watch how these series play out.
22:50Maybe we revisit your question um middle
22:53of next week once there's a couple of
22:55games in each series have have elapsed
22:58already. But yeah, I think it's kind of
23:00too early for you to hedge. But
23:01appreciate the question. Yeah, go ahead.
23:03>> He can also hedge once he get if these
23:05two gets the championship that means
23:06he's already won one and then he can
23:08hedge back on Tampa Bay against uh the
23:12Brewers and then yeah, get off the bat
23:14base. The worst you could do is get off
23:16the bat and just stick with what you
23:17got.
23:18>> Yeah. And it's also difficult to know
23:20for sure because we don't know who the
23:22Rays are playing. I just if the
23:24Guardians lose tonight, we won't see we
23:28won't be here on a show to answer that
23:30question for you before the series
23:32starts. So, uh, he emailed in. I wanted
23:35to get that in and, uh, gives us
23:36something else to talk about on a on a
23:37light show today. So, um, yeah, that'll
23:40be Hey, listen. One thing I will say is
23:42I wish I was you. I wish I had the
23:44raised Brewers ticket in pocket. That's
23:46a uh a good position to be in for sure.
23:50>> I have the Brewers to win the World
23:51Series at plus 600. Uh not quite as good
23:55as that number, but I mean just watching
23:58the games though, the Brewers and the
24:00Rays seem like the better teams, but you
24:02know, it's baseball and anything can
24:03happen. Uh especially with that Dodgers
24:06roster. If if Otani heats up a little
24:09bit, you know, the Dodgers right now are
24:11being carried by guys like Tucker and
24:14and Pahz right now. So, if Otani can
24:17heat up and Freeman heats up, that team
24:19is going to be nuclear. Um, very hard to
24:22beat. So, we'll see what happens. This
24:24is why we love baseball, right?
24:27>> Yeah. Um, Brian, I'm just going to throw
24:29this back to you. Back to the game
24:31tonight. If you if you're if you're a
24:33board watcher, if you if you like to
24:35know where some of the the money is
24:37going, it looks like the under is
24:38starting to get hit in Guardians White
24:41Socks.
24:42>> Again, I just think it can go one of so
24:44many ways, but I guess if you if you
24:46were to say like what's your gut here, I
24:49think this is probably a lowercing tight
24:51game. This feels like it's going to be
24:53like a real competitive tight baseball
24:55game. So,
24:56>> if if they hadn't faced uh him so many
24:59times in a short amount of time, I would
25:01have agreed. I just I've seen this a lot
25:03where a guy's really good against you,
25:05but you've seen him so many times that
25:07you have that advantage. And when you
25:09have a line of the seven, seven and a
25:11half range, it doesn't take much to get
25:13a, you know, three homer and and kill
25:15your bet. Um, we I think we've we've uh
25:19got all we can out of this game here. I
25:22do want to point out a couple of things
25:23that Wager Talk's got going on. Number
25:25one, if you talked about the uh
25:26OddsLogic site, uh if you want to get a
25:29free week of OddsLogic, I've got a
25:31special deal. Uh wt.buzzle
25:35leonard o l. That's l o n a r d o l. Uh
25:40Kelly's also got um some football
25:43contests going on on the site. She's
25:46going crazy that uh uh not everybody's
25:49been promoting it. I want to promote it.
25:50I don't know much about it because I'm
25:52not in it. I don't do those kind of
25:54things. I only straight bet. Uh but uh
25:57it's there's an overlay and anytime
25:58there's an overlay, that's probably a
26:00good betting opportunity. Also, the gold
26:03sheet uh the gold sheets free this week.
26:06You can pick up the gold sheet by going
26:07to the site and many places to get that
26:09off of our site. So, uh
26:11>> yeah, and also for my own personal uh
26:14self, uh no play in baseball today. I'm
26:17sorry I couldn't think of anything, but
26:19I do have a 5% in the NFL game today.
26:22It's be my first 5% in the NFL this
26:25season. 67% on the season in the NFL and
26:29number two overall in football, NFL, and
26:32college this season at Wager Talk.
26:36>> That's awesome. Yeah, check out Brian's
26:385enter NFL tonight. We're we're back
26:40with the NFL tonight. We get the weekend
26:42warrior package for football over the
26:44weekend. I just posted
26:46>> my first of a handful of of football
26:48plays for Saturday and Sunday. It's
26:50actually on Saturday. It's a rare kind
26:52of a rare college football play for me.
26:54I don't that a ton of college football.
26:56Uh but when I do, you can guarantee that
26:59someone out of school told me something.
27:01So, uh there you go. That's that's kind
27:03of how I thought college football. So,
27:05uh yeah,
27:06>> I have a little special that they're
27:08doing too because I took the number one
27:10spot plus 155 units. Now, you can get
27:13the rest of my baseball, all three
27:16leagues, Japanese, Korean, and MLB for
27:18$99. So that's kind of a little special
27:21going on there.
27:23>> We all got specials going on and we're
27:25all pretty hot right now. So it's good
27:27good times.
27:30>> All right, quick programming note before
27:31we get off air. We will not see you guys
27:33tomorrow. There are no Major League
27:35Baseball games thanks to the Padres's
27:38and the Braves for losing. Uh there's no
27:41games tomorrow. So if the Guardians
27:43manage to win game four, we will be back
27:46on Saturday morning. If the White Socks
27:48win, uh, then I'm I'm assuming TV, are
27:51you doing your Sunday show by yourself
27:52on your on your own channel?
27:54>> I will do a Sunday show and I will be
27:57doing a Saturday show as well, but
27:59that's separate.
28:01>> So, I will uh
28:02>> That's not baseball though. So, yeah,
28:04>> I will be with Rob Vino on Sunday
28:06morning talking NFL. Um, and then we'll
28:08be back on Monday. We'll we'll have both
28:10both um championship series will be in
28:12action on Monday. So, depending on the
28:15outcome of tonight's game, we will
28:16either see you Saturday morning or we
28:18will see you Monday morning. Um,
28:20Freeird,
28:21thank you for the donation. Oh, we've
28:23got a uh they're doing another big
28:25donation to uh charity and so got to
28:28shout you guys out because uh we
28:30continue to get
28:31>> hyped up by our bosses for this show,
28:33bringing in far and away
28:35>> the most donations. Uh Freeird says,
28:37"Great show, Ray's Brewers World Series.
28:39Brewers win. Thanks for a great 26 26
28:42season, gentlemen. Um, yeah, I know
28:44Freeird's a Rays fan, so I'm sure that
28:47he's hoping the Rays get there. Rays
28:50Brewers would be a nice World Series.
28:51That that would actually be really I
28:53would not be mad about that.
28:54>> Two teams are rooting for if Cleveland
28:56can't make it. Yes, they deserve it.
29:00>> All right. Um, good luck today. If you
29:02decide to get involved with the baseball
29:03game, what you probably should get
29:05involved with is the NFL and go check
29:07out Brian's 5% uh which is is in tonight
29:10in tonight's game, Thursday night
29:11football game.
29:12>> Yep. So

29:18Monday if the Guardians lose. Thanks for
29:20tuning in everyone. We really appreciate
