What Do These Betting Lines Teach Us About the Yankees? | 880

Today is March 23rd, and we are talking about bets on the Yankees, which is really just a fun learning exercise on where the experts think the team and the players will fall. So let's talk. Yes Hello and welcome to talking to yanks My name is jimmy jake is here bbd is producing and you were just listening to dan Zlotnick sing the theme song. He just released the theme song on spotify As a single so if you're at a party and you want to get you know The mood going but you don't want to have to go to an episode and wait for the intro Bam now it's ready for you, you know Billy's just start playing the theme song after wins Yeah I mean, you're not like gonna love where I go with this, but I mean it's now prime for like a Dance club remix like we might need the the college billy's Remix with that. That's Talking yanks talking yanks Hey yanks yanks yanks. Dumb boy. Jake. Um, okay just wrote it. Uh, yeah, I think you did it So we're good there jama lantern. You're live from the warehouse team baggage hat. I got my yankees hat uh and yeah, man, I um You know with the gambling we're draft kings company. Um And I think your point that is the best there a we're probably going to win people a lot of money today disclaimer Um and then b They don't mess around with their money It's it's not like a it's not like a gag so these lines are where vegas thinks A lot of the yankees and judge and cole and a lot of their players Actually line up on what they're gonna do and perform this year So, uh, it's an interesting exercise to see where like, you know, not to jump too far ahead I saw rizzo's rizzo's rbi number this year was like 70 and a half and I was like **** that Like I got rizzo driving in close to a hundy Um, and so it kind of puts some things like that into perspective. So and we've done this um annually on talking baseball Uh for the past couple years and knock on wood. We've been historically Actually pretty good with our bets Yeah, I went five for five last year and got my lock which was plus three thousand But when you do talk in baseball and you have like every single player You usually can find a theme like last year They were low on or they were high on Every like you could have taken the under on almost every player's rbi besides judge and one they were they were just low on rbis Across the board. So we all kind of hammered Unders. Yeah, which you know feels rude, but it's like I don't know. I didn't inflate your line Not my problem and not necessarily our talking yanks jam to hammer some of the unders on some guys Although I did see some that I was like, yeah, I think I think I saw some that aren't favorable for yankees guys, but in an okay way like all right, i'll just say cole zra was set at three flat and it was like well i'm That's not kind of how we measure judge and he's gonna have the days where he gives up homer. So anyways anyways said judge All right Confusing me. We got audio sounded like a lion at one point and um, yeah some with that warehouse internet ain't right So you might have to battle a little bit today Yeah, well it happens like this at home too. It's just like you just the audio the video is so off earlier when you're talking in my ear And I was like I agree I totally agree could just be my voice Could be grabbing like danny yesterday um, okay, well we're gonna start this off by Doing judge. Maybe that's why you uh fording slipped his name in there because not every player gets lines on every category and Judge does like he has odds and lines everywhere and I do think that For fans that haven't entered the the betting world don't like look at prop bets or odds or what the number is There's just some interesting insight into like, oh, that's what the experts expect him to fall around Oh, that's the guy That is expected to be higher than him in this or lower than him Like there's just kind of some fun insight. So if you're adverse to gambling and betting it's it's still I think a very insightful And you kind of like learn and it's like a brain exercise in a way So let's start with judge and jimmy. Did we mention that this whole thing's brought to us by seat geek? The code john boy preseason I like I like seat geek and I like the code john boy preseason get get a percentage off 15 off your order whether you've used a seat geek code or not Download the app guys opening day As we record this is a week from today. It's it's ticket time if you're going to the game So make sure you're using seat geek code john boy preseason 15 percent Off there's a link in the description download the app. It's so easy to use a jake can use it So I think we need to say that Okay um Let's start with mvp jake and like big ones. Okay Like not not stat based award based because I think those are those are a little less learning because everyone's kind of shot in the dark Guessing but then when you go to the slash lines and the counting numbers, there's actually it's a more fun conversation, right? Um And so you're betting judge to win No, it's pretty hard to repeat and otani, uh it seems like if he You have to break the uh, the al home run record to beat him So I do think I do they have otani as the favorite in mvp voting. I Think they have to yeah, he's the favorite. Yeah, the silver the the twist would be There's a chance with his contract expiring the angels do pull the push the trade button and he goes to the nl and kind of just doesn't play enough in either league, but Oh, wow, so you can play that game with it So judge is third best odds show and show is kind of a landslide favorite then trout his teammate then judge Then julio rodriguez, that's interesting. But though judge is top of the list plus 500 You betting that jake? uh No, I I just think with mvp shouhei otani ruins the odds um because if he does him And a player does not break The american league home run record. I think he's very hard to beat for al mvp that Um in that realm i'd rather sprinkle on kind of the next tier guys and kind of like you said It's funny seeing julio's odds there But like if julio were to go 4040 this year and lead the mariners to the playoffs Or win the al west like a guy like that value wise Or even vladito man Like if vladdy's on an every other year schedule and he wins the triple crown next year and leads the blue jays to an ales title Like I think the storylines kick in for mvp That for judge it's an impossible act to follow Like a 99 win yankees team and breaking the home run record he would He would have to triple crown or hit like 50 plus again, and that's just a really tough ask Um, although his home run over under total and again, this is vegas. This is money This isn't this isn't us doing our over under episode with joe's uh, vegas has his over under home run total this year at 45 and a half, which is That's nutty man. That's nutty Yeah, I guess that's the highest one. I think it's a fair line Isn't that what we said on with joe's that we would just have the line at I think we did I think we were right around there and and then we did I think we were setting the line and I think it was there and then we did kind of yankee fans like What do you need to see and I think my thing was I think people need to see a four in the home run column Which again is like crazy obnoxious like a 38 homer season being disappointing, but it all ties in back to judge's career numbers He's that guy um And it you know I wouldn't bet on the 45 I don't feel strongly either way Like if like obviously if I was forced to but it's not what i'm looking at and i'm like, oh i'm taking action on that It's a brutal ask because if if you miss You have a two-week the yankees two-week. I lm Just because it's judge and he yeah He stepped on first base funny running down to first and they want to keep those damn new bases They want to keep oh and you know, willie randolph's telling anyone that'll listen about those bases um that yeah You get a two-week IELTS and then 45 can become near impossible because that's how hard it is to do that on a baseball field so yeah, it doesn't it doesn't jump out as As crazy value, but I mean if you're gonna bet it why not? You know, uh the other the other like, uh Not judge's numbers but compared to the league. He is the favorite in rbis and runs scored Yes out of uh any player in all of major league baseball yeah, so plus 700 in uh To lead in rbis, which I don't know man again. I just those are tough because A two-week stint, but that's the whole game right or or uh runs is also plus 600. So I kind of like rbis still I think especially with him saying that with runners on base He wants to have more of a two-strike approach and drive in runs He's got a he's got to stay to that but imagine if with runners on base the strikeouts do get cut down and turn into singles doubles um Would help Yeah, still gonna accidentally hit those three run homers because he's ******* strong as hell I guess the only thing if I had to choose between rbi and runs I think I would go runs. He's led the league in runs twice You know, he's gonna get on base and if anything the yankees we saw him at the end of the year slide him up in the lineup um Where if that situation happens again, he's led the league in and runs twice in 2017 and 2022 Last year was his first year Leading in rbi and that becomes a little dependent on a dj or potentially volpe or something like that. So um, but both of those How about this both of those? I think we both agree. I would rather take one of those than the home run game just because you're I don't know one one player somewhere else goes nuts Jordan hits 55 this year and you're dead in the water where judge could still clip him Yeah, I agree You sold me on runs a little bit You don't know who's gonna be hitting ahead of him and you and me or like behind him once once we once we did that Runs game and it was all the best players ever by decade like score the most runs. We were like, okay runs are really good Yeah, they are a bit more. Uh, uh outlier proof than rbis It's pretty funny because like, you know, that's how you technically score And in like basketball that would be the basket right like football. That's The touchdown I guess a home run but run scored. I remember when when me and jimmy were first getting into this We looked up like runs leader by decade and it's just constantly a list of the best players and that makes so much sense But you don't think of it that way Yeah Uh, yeah, I kind of like I like putting some money down on one of those the uh, the other and this is where You know Me and jimmy aren't every day what's on the board placing bets But we we like the fun ones and I think maybe the most fun one on here if you're a new york baseball fan Is judge versus alonzo heads up homers? um, and it's judge minus 140, which means You get a little less return on it He's the favorite. Yes. He he is the favorite on it. Um, but I mean that's just fun and I mean you You you place that bet with your mets friends and you say like this is a lock Judge has got it God I wanted to place one of those but I have to check my location and all that stuff. Okay Which one were you going with runs Raj you convinced me. Yeah, baby You can because I like the order directly behind judge more than I like the order directly in front of him, right? Rizzo is your I I like the three four five It's basically are you betting on the three four five to get hits or you're gonna bet on the eight nine one to get on? base And I don't know who the eight nine one is And I know who the three four five is going to be and I know that they're going to you know Baseball they're gonna put better players there. So Did you say you convinced me on that one? Baseball, what else do they have judge for jake? Do you have any others in front of you? Um, i'm trying to see what other judge ones uh stand out, um, you know, depending where you're gambling, um You know, you can get some batting average props and things like that. They have his batting average and again, this should be As complimentary to aaron judge as a baseball player because we talked a lot last season about batting average some places in vegas have aaron judge's batting average number at 295 man for for a slugger That's an unreal number. Um, but yet again, he's a career 284 and last year was 311 so I don't know. There's a weird mental exercise there that he's only cleared that batting average once If aaron judge hits 292 with 48 homers, nobody's gonna care Um, so it's kind of but like you said those two strike numbers from last year Are the only thing that jumps off the page and he's openly talked about addressing it that I don't know that that one's kind of a hold on to your butts because 295 but less shifting. I don't know Oh, I also think that a lot of the batting average numbers are going to be higher with the shift right right sand ----, so Yeah, yeah with no shift um I don't know. I You never know about these spring training adjustments like is he actually going to do it, right? right is the scary part obviously um ---- I was trying to find oh in the app, you can just search yankees and it will like search feature isn't What I thought it was. Yeah, it's a tricky search. You have to be like in the section to search What you and then you have to search the player name and they won't like organize it by category. Yeah, so Uh, he has no odds to win the cy young. Ah Yeah brutal Is there any other judge ones that are interesting? I don't think so, right? um Let's see. I don't think so um the the only other one that i'm seeing that is fun if you're a baseball fan, and I think You would take this bet because you've worn it won it previously in a different way Um, they have judge versus trout home run totals on the year. Um, oh, yeah, I'd take judge there It's judge the favorite judges minus 140 the same as against alonzo. So just parlay those together bonk Enjoy, that's a parlay. Enjoy the money um What about hits do they have hits for him? uh, the hits number I saw which again is is one of the Tricky ones because I think some places you can some places you can't bet it. Yeah, new jersey I'm in new jersey. You're in new york, new jersey. They don't have judge on the board right now hits wise So that the hits number i'm seeing that you may see is 155 and a half Which the past two seasons he's cleared that and 21 Was not nearly as impressive as last year and that had a little he missed some time that was 148 games played so um If you're a believer that judge's injuries in the past have been fluky Which there's a very good argument for that if you think judge is going to be out there every day. He He should clear that uh, especially without the shift Um and everything we just talked about so that might be a good number for people Yeah I think that's most the judgy stuff jim and I think that brings us into some of the yankees Big ones and we're going to do kind of all the other guys There's a lot of cole rodon some other stanton sneaky ones in there and jim. It's brought to us by a new partner kanzuri That's right Are you a short king? Feels targeted And you want to be a little bit taller? Kanzuri make shoes that make you up to 2.8 inches taller without anyone knowing Our sales team let's peel back the curtains came to me and said hey jake. Are you familiar with this and I said yes Uh because I have been targeted by them because I am the target audience um if you're someone that goes to billies and when you're talking to your friends or maybe You know someone of the opposite sex and you put your heels against the wall to be an inch taller These shoes might be for you um They are the height insults are actually built into the shoes.

Let's raise up together Let us ride Let's raise up. Is that you or them? That was me. Beautiful. That was beautiful. That was me I mean, it's been a topic on my mind in the past. I don't know 20 years so So not that long. Yeah, not that I think about it much but um, if you're someone else who has also maybe thought about it Go check them uh Jim, I think I think we do some of the yankee ones because as we finish off our player profile and projections for this year and we do our over under episode with joe's the other thing that there's a ton to bet on in every different way Are our yankees themselves? the full team the new york yankees, uh, and I mean they've got again, this is where they cover the board because they've got Like exact results for the season the one I really like are the regular season win bands like They've got ranges of what the yankees will will land in this year ali's finishing position Have you seen any of those that have jumped out to you? well, the the win bands Felt like **** you got me, you know? Yeah. Oh Perfect job odds makers. Yeah, I don't know what to choose. Oh, really? Yeah, because I I would I would choose Well, I guess it is good odds. Oh I didn't really I didn't look at I didn't look at the odds. I think there's a standout winner 92 to 97. Yes I didn't look at that. I didn't look at the the plus I thought that was going to be like minus Yeah, no that's For that five win range. That's a pretty good payday um The only way you get nipped in the bud there, um, and excuse my french for saying that um, because 92 to 97 is plus 235 Something like that um So again, that's that's if you're placing a ten dollar bet you'd get I think 23 and a half dollars. So, you know, it's always been a math company. Um, the new york yankees so Their down year 2021 that we sometimes forget about they won 92 games Last year they won 99 where they were incredible except for one month basically but I think with the division Like this is a blue jays do or die year, right? Like they they've got to step it up this year if not now when? The rays were injury riddled last year boston's feeling more and more pesky The orioles are a wild card. I mean that 92 to 97 range feels like it has you covered and I think more importantly when you bet this is how I normally bet it's what's your happiness level I think if the yankees win 92 to 97 and you win your bet. Okay, you're pretty happy The odds are that the yankees are going to exceed that because they haven't been below that since 2017 That if the yankees win 98 99 100 games, you're going to be happy on the whole So why not put a little in that in that? wind band I can't find this Oh, I found it regular season wind bands I'm all over this You're hitting it now I've placed four bets since we started the show I don't bet a lot of money at all. So it's I can do that. It's contained Bet responsibly. That's what we tell people. Oh ----. Where's the yankees? I think 92 to 97 is where I land and then what if I just put some on 81? What's the other one 81 to 91? uh the other then So if you go down, it's 86 to 91, which is 295 If you go up 98 to 103 that's plus 390 that's kind of fun if it all clicks but At 92 to 97 jersey new jersey doesn't have the yankees right now unless I don't know how to use this app that's I think the search function can be tricky. I I don't No, i'm not. I'm just on regular season bands and scrolling. They got only like 10 teams team futures league winners Regular season wind bands. I'm there Just don't have the yankees on mine bummer I have one that I like a lot Okay One well, this is funny. They have like will the team be five and oh to start the season I knew you'd like that I just like I don't I think no I don't think yes, but I I think they want you to think that um But I just like that that's an option Because it's pretty stupid I like jake the Over under for yankees wins in april, okay now we're talking Yes So they have by end of april and I hope I can find this on my phone But I think all the yankees are just unavailable for me. Yep. That's unbelievable Oh someone bet it they're gonna win more than 16 and a half games in april Okay I did the math on it crunched all the numbers All of the numbers Yeah, okay. They're gonna win. My line is uh, 19 and a half big april Yeah. Oh they play. Um 29 games so like 19 and 10 It's a good april Yeah, but but getting me hyped up, baby I mean, okay, so that they have a home stand right against the giants in the phillies, right? That's six games I have them winning four of those they're winning both four they're winning both homestead and series. Yeah Okay, then they go on the road to uh And they face the orioles and the guardians now they could run into a buzzsaw there. I had them winning a three out of six done You know 500 on the road you want to beat those teams, but it's cold and you're traveling and the guardians can pitch um, the orioles have some good pitching these days, okay, then They play 10 at home They got four against the twins Three against the angels and then three against the blue jays. So obviously they're winning two or three against the twins Right, and then they're winning two against the angels so that's that's um five and then and then the blue jays Even if you lose that series you're getting five wins there You can safely say six in that 10 game home stand That's what I said. I I verbally said different when I wrote down Okay, and then they have seven on the road But they're going to uh, minnesota And then to texas for seven games and I had them winning four of the seven Minnesota and texas like the yankees are supposed to be better than those teams not a shot fired at those teams They're just supposed to be better. So I had them winning four out of seven there But even if you drop that down a little bit all my numbers drop down a little bit you're over 16 and a half I mean, I just got excited for big april Yeah, I mean again, I I think that last road trip even if you put a three down in that column um And you're right that baltimore cleveland road trip early on feels like it could be a little monkey wrench and all this that would That's your hiccup area Remember the first baltimore series of last season when I Had an absolute meltdown on the series recap on easter sunday at my aunt's house because they did Everything we were worried about like they didn't play judge. They didn't play anyone and in retrospect It was early and I was having a little bit of a hissy fit I'm going to be more prepared For some of that stuff and I think that road trip to baltimore and to cleveland just be prepared to To see some weird lineups and some slop. I think they'll treat the home crowd nice in the first two home stands But when you go on that first road trip and they did this last year It's a little bit of like all right breather breather breather blah blah light light light So I have them going 500 baltimore opening day that thursday They do get an off. We're gonna be there. Yeah, we're gonna be there They they do get an off day the the next day So hopefully that can clean up that can tighten up the a little bit of the slop I but no, I believe that's what they did last year They used that but they lost their original off day because opening day got pushed Their opening day. Oh, you're right. You're right. You're right But it was it was red socks and blue jays at home and then their first road trip was baltimore And they had an off day on monday after that sunday And they like used it as a double rest day and we were like really and they lost five nothing So look at that prop bets led us into a deep dive of the first month of the yankee season, which you guys are Probably hype about Yeah, that's why I like doing these that that was the first one. I saw I was like Oh, this is a good conversation and it's like a fun thing to track where you have You have the answer soon enough, you know Yeah Like, you know april so I can't find it. Maybe if your app If you can find it on your app, then when i'm in the office tomorrow remind me uh, let's put put some on that because yeah, I I like Betting optimistic yankee that's and that's an optimistic yankee, but I like the schedule like the way it lines up They came out the gate swinging Um, they have to come out fiery this time because they got embarrassed in the cs and I just started reading jack curry's Book that comes out this man. He gave us advanced copies and the whole first chapter is about how That 98 yankees team after the 97 embarrassing loss, which wasn't even that embarrassing comparatively to the then indians Like set them on a mission and I don't get the same vibe from this squad at all but I I wish I could but they were like we have to Come out hot To make up for that mess. So that's what i'm hoping for. Okay You got to believe in something right Yeah every day and I think our I think our turkey mat there was actually pretty sharp. So i'm I feel good about that. Love it Um, should we should we just have is there any other like just like fun info? For the yankees as a team. They're the second highest odds tied for second highest odds to win the world series There's a fun one. I like mets and yankees to both win 90 plus games as plus. Oh ---- Yeah, I have that as my lock for later in the episode a teaser Yeah, you do it now. I mean that's into the lock. It's actually you get you get Yeah you get money on it, but I think The yankees and the mets are both going to win 90 Regular season games and I also love that I want both of those teams in the playoffs and I want like new york to be a baseball town in october very badly And I mean dude the yankee that bet is ridiculous to me. The mets won 101 the yankees won 99 last year Blue jays got better braves got better phillies They're thinking you know And it's baseball. It's baseball. Yes, but I agree with you I'm, just trying to think what they're thinking the mets could be 10 games worse. They added Like at net net. I know they lost a lot of stuff, but they added um that yeah, that's uh That's a fun one. Jim. Let's head into uh, you know We've we've been ignoring a lot of other yankees that do have bets on the board clay home saves total Um, and why don't you? Manscaped, you know Line yourself up for like your top 10 bets manscape it down to the three you love Um, and that's what I do in my pubic region. I trim it down and I keep the three that I like down there um, it's kind of Me and my wife's thing and jim we got them in the office yesterday the new weed whacker 2.0 Get your nose and ears hairs taken care of there's not a single person in the world and jim you might call me out on this Not a single person in the world that's into nose or ear hair Yeah, I mean there's got to be someone There's probably someone but like into ear hair in what way like if I see an old man with ear hair popping out of ears i'm interested I was Thinking in a second. Yeah, I guess I do like ear hair then but Walk up to them with your new weed whacker 2.0 and start a viral trend no, um Go get yourself the weed whacker 2.0. Take care of it. I have problem with my nose hairs. I'll just be real with the people Um, yeah, you've been wanting a nose hair trimmer for a long. I gotta monitor that Uh, and with the weed whacker 2.0 you can And it comes with everything else beard shampoo beard oil beard balm Butts and back that's not part of it. That's from a tv show skit Um, but it does have a wife the performance package 4.0 Uh for the full body grooming experience and with code yanks, you're getting 20 off baby So take care of your downstairs Yanks code yanks at manscape.com and there's a link in the description um Jim buck too. Where do you want to roll? I mentioned that rizzo one early in the episode the over of 70 and a half rbis I think if you can find that last year, he cleared that um And again, I think judge Judge is going to be in front of him a lot and hopefully other good guys, um I I have two that I bet Before the episode researching and I think I gave away your lockheed martin there. So i'm sorry about that Um, so is there somewhere you want to jump in particularly? Well, there's just a fun one that like they have a milestone section, right? Giancarlo stanton to hit his 400th home run this season I think it's gonna happen You're not gonna get great odds, but you should parlay it with something And also that was just like a reminder for me like oh, yeah, we're gonna have a little bit of a You know a milestone home run season. That's fun People are gonna be Excited about it not gonna compare to last year, but it's gonna be fun And he does it either at fenway or the stadium, right Yeah, I think he does at the stadium. Okay Okay Either work for me. Um Would be a nice reminder to socks and said like oh, yeah, he's awesome And then joe's does another weird video or something like that. Um But yeah, I think you find that with a parlay bet because it's like minus 440 or whatever Um, but stands 22 homers away and he hit 31 last year and he was basically Not a part of the second half of the season. So um I do like that one. I'll um Jim the one I bet that's kind of your normal betting stat line. It's the minus 110 it is garrett cole um Garrett cole's over under on his strikeouts is 234 and a half, which is a big number, right? um but garrett cole last season Struck out 257 The season before with the yankees he struck out 243. So both Full seasons with the yankees. He's cleared that and if the biggest thing you can probably compliment garrett cole on Jimmy i'm going to read off his starts per year since 2017 33 in 2017 32 in 2018 33 in 2019 12 in 2020 the shortened season the full season 30 in 21 33 and 22 if there's one thing garrett cole Can hammer his flag into the ground. He has been reliable about making his starts and Striking out batters, uh, you know the houston years which there's a little bit of I think sticky icky lurking. I mean 326 strikeouts in 276 and maybe His strikeouts get a slight boost because maybe a couple infield shifts go through and then he's got to strike out the next bat So 234 and a half. It's a big number But garrett cole's gonna be out there and he's gonna strike guys out that I think it's a pretty good bet and I bet it before the show. I'm not against that one at all. I mean Whatever you can say about his results, uh, even you know games where He gives up some devastating homers. He strikes out people. So He led the league last year. Yep It is a high number. Do you have um his wins? I saw 14 and a half for his wins All right. I wanted to take the over. I was hoping it was under 15. I don't have it on here I guess you just can't bet yankee stuff in new jersey. So I want to take the over and garrett cole wins because of the starts Like he just makes his starts. He led the league and wins in 2021. Yep. All right with a 323 ra I think the yankees are gonna be good I think he's gonna Be better with pitch clock Oh ---- or worse Oh, wow, I think mostly I just thought about like Well, what like how to pitch how to hitters hit call they just jump his fastball and I think like The batter's having less time to think means more. They're just like just hit the fastball So we'll see if that changes the way that at all but I don't have him being the mlb wins leader but They have it at 14 14 and a half I mean, that's uh If he makes 30 starts or 33 starts like he has It's a 400 win percentage If he makes 33 starts, it's a like a four two I mean, you're not counting no decisions there, right? This guy has won Won a lot of starts last year was a little bit of an outlier yeah, I guess that would be kind of the read on it because 2015 2018 houston 20 2019 houston. He was seven and three in the short season Um 16 and 12 starts so 7 out of 12, right? And then he was 16 and 8 and then 13 and 8 So last year out of that out of a five-year sample is the outlier That's the low the outlier the lowest number at 13 is the lowest amount of wins. He's had in the last Five years or whatever. So yeah, okay. I was hoping it was under 15 Because I was going to take the over on it and I thought they might do that So i'm going to take the over on garrett cole's wins if you're A cole hater or kind of a cole logic guy like I said I think his era was set at three flat on some of the websites and he's been at three five and three two three the past two years so um, hey You know, I was in some small parks Yeah, do you like him as a strikeout leader because he's the favorite to lead the league in strikeouts, but it's plus 550 Yeah, I mean it's it's not a bad bet it's again it kind of turns into the judge homer conversation right like if If one person just goes um It's over um So it's hard to bet any of those confidently You could sprinkle it's it's a gentleman's sprinkle on that because he did it last year and he did it in 2019 um, and like you're saying the reliability aspect of it, but it's almost like Yeah, I don't know it's not not a bad bet i'm trying to trying to think who's who's your biggest problem in that bet, um Manoa, I mean dylan any of the astros pitchers Otani, I mean actually Oh strikeouts. I mean cole Cole was 30 strikeouts clear Of dylan ceas last year who fully broke out and maybe there's more but third he doesn't pitch enough innings third place was otani, which I guess if they make otani go full god mode just this whole year and put the angels on his back Um, but yeah, that's those aren't bad numbers at all Yeah um Jim, I I think our favorite is This the sprinkle. Um, and if for those of you that again aren't aren't that familiar in this world It's it's a bet that's got crazy odds that if you I just placed this bet and it's two dollars to win fifty two dollars. So, you know, um If you that would be 20 to win 520 math guy add your zeros people um But there's a very thin chance they come through right? That's the whole game. I I got pretty lucky two years ago. Um, Uh, who was it to win the cy young corbin burns to win the cy young it was kind of his breakout year Jimmy, who are you on last year? Weren't you right around? I got it with seattle mariners to have the longest win streak of any team his win streak so again, you end up in a funky area, but um This one if you're a believer in this guy, which if you're listening to this show There's a good chance. You're a believer in this guy Anthony volpe most regular season stolen bases and You're playing a dangerous game, right? Because we're not sure when he gets called up But by the way, if they announce he gets called up tomorrow These odds change instantly Because the guys ahead of him on the leaderboard cedric mullins has the fourth best odds And cedric mullins stole 34 bases last year. That was his career high Um ronald acuna jr. Is ahead of him. He's stolen 40 before but he's um, he's had some injuries and it's estuary telling him to cool down estuary ruiz Is ahead of cedric mullins on the list. He's a speedster for oakland who should get to play next year But he also has a lifetime on base percentage Of 194 in the major leagues currently. It's a small sample size if volpe gets called up Even if they service time them a little bit like wait three weeks the elite stolen base guys in major league baseball I mean don't run like they have in previous years and we know the yankees have put an emphasis on base running and volpe Is the guy that in the minors last year, he stole 50 bases and got caught seven times so It's a sprinkle I put two dollars to win 52, but anthony volpe to lead in stolen bases There's a path Yeah, you're gonna see so many more stolen bases with the the pitch clock and the new timing of it all Last year, john birdie stole 41 Out of nowhere. I think he had 60 year before that uh, mateo on the Orioles stole 35 But I also wonder if there's any other players that are What did um? What did uh harris michael harris is he a base dealer Uh, he was on he's his odds are on there. Um He stole 20. He played with the pitch He played with the pitch clock and then had not a full year last year was my thinking right? That's where that's where a lot of the young guys including volpe can have a leg up that they've already They've already messed around with a lot of these rules He stole 20 in 114 games Which is not that much more if you do it extrapolate it, right? Um, yeah, I mean, it's a good sprinkle. We're talking about talking about sprinkles about sprinkles ice cream, baby I have an under I don't know if we're gonna do unders do an under why not a yankee under it's not a sprinkle though It's just a bet that I just saw bader home runs if that's still available. It's uh 15 and a half and that's just not gonna happen. So You can find that take the under oblique is pretty tough thing to come back from he's missing time plus like Probably not going to be able to swing out of his shoes It's oblique injury Yeah, I mean I hear you barking. He's uh, I mean volpe for uh Rookie of the year is also a good sprinkle. It's plus 2500 That's not bad It's not bad. Um man Finding sprinkles that you like when it's just one team is a bit harder than when we do this You're talking baseball and we get them right tough. You're digging Yeah, like I almost like the yankees to be five and oh sure But I don't think you can do that team specific. How about savvy? Uh Cy young that's like a huge ******* sprinkle Big plus 5 000 and I don't really believe in that but i'm just scrolling trying to find something If he's healthy, he's capable of being involved in that So i'd love to see if they had um You know, maybe I think I gotta go to the team stuff to find like the things i'm gonna like maybe the better Sprinkle if you're looking for the yankees other pitchers nester cortez plus 7 000 to lead in wins Like oh, wow. I don't know People can rack up wins domingo had 18, right? That's a great years ago. That's a fantastic example Um that if nester's timing is right with the yankees offense and he's the guy that year they score for You'd be looking at a 20 Every week, um, that's plus seven. I'm gonna i'm gonna bet that right now Wow, that's two dollars to win 142 What? Maybe yankees will uh Win more win eight games in a row at one point You love those bets Yes Yeah, I don't know if they will 2021 they did it Yeah team was by the by the uh skin of their chinny chin chin by the hair of their teeth Eight games in a row is our longest winning streak last year 11 we get yeah, we got like a long one, right? 11 was their longest winning streak last year And then in 2011, the longest winning streak was 13 2011 2021 2019 the longest winning streak was nine. Okay. That was a pretty good team 2018 the longest winning streak was nine in 2017 the longest winning streak was eight So those are all over the seven and a half line That's huge So i'm betting that I think I just found it too Found what their win streak? Oh and on the schedule, what do you got it actually it carries through the all-star break I knew you were gonna search for that um jimmy they So they have a strong start strong. They have a home stretch going into the all-star break seven games It's baltimore and the cubs if you remember they annihilated the cubs last year Yeah, so you win the final two verse baltimore at home You sweep the cubs and that's five And who do they play after the all-star break jim? Rockies the rockies into the angels Well, you just gotta sweep the rockies there and you got it. You got eight, but I I mean they're gonna carry it Probably 11 again You're sucking. I love it duncan Nice, I love it Okay I think that's it found it. I think that's it Found some good ones had some fun enjoyed ourselves comment below. What are you? What are you? slapping on Yeah, what are you slapping on? Slap along if you're in california, send me send me all the fun props you get out there. I'm jealous on draft kings app you guys get more fun ones Because I wanted to see all the batting averages for everyone because I think like djs is going to be higher I want to do we have rizzo's even a fake line or like a a guesstimate line? Because I think rizzo's batting average might be higher than He's had in a while Let's see if we got it on there um Don't think so Not that i'm saying I don't think so Yeah. All right. Well, thanks for listening. See you guys. Enjoy your time Go yanks. Tell them go grams Go yankees
