Harry, how much did you lose betting

1:51

on WrestleMania this weekend? I

1:53

did, and I was two for two

1:55

in my pecs. Okay. two. Gave

1:57

out Sina on our, on our podcast

1:59

and couldn't sounds winning weekend. And also,

2:01

um, wow, I gave out a Rollins

2:04

over us over, um, it's

2:06

okay. It's okay. I

2:09

get it. Long weekend. A lot

2:11

of wrestling. It's hard. It's hard.

2:13

It's unpredictable really for the most

2:15

part. Hey, something that is also

2:17

unpredictable. The NFL draft this Thursday,

2:19

I'm going to have a pool

2:21

going on runyourpool.com. That's on the

2:24

splash sports app, but runyourpool.com. I

2:26

will tweet out the link after

2:28

this. It's a free to play

2:30

contest. I think it's a thousand

2:32

dollars to the winner. I'm going to send a

2:34

link. It's called Cousin Sal on the clock contest.

2:37

Harry. Well, Pauli kid, let me hit

2:39

you with this. The color of the

2:41

suit worn by the first player to

2:43

greet Roger Goodell after being drafted. Black,

2:45

blue, red, brown,

2:47

other. I'll

2:49

say other. That's exactly right. You

2:51

see? So you're one for 18

2:53

already. Nice job. Good job by

2:56

you. All right. Lots to get to.

2:58

We have hockey. We're going to give

3:00

our Stanley Cup picks. We have more

3:02

draft stuff. We're going to give our

3:04

top 20 picks. Somebody is going to

3:06

land in the top 20. We'll hit

3:08

the Major League Baseball. We're going to

3:10

hit the Diamond. More picks there. Picks,

3:12

picks, picks. Bettings, but let's do NBA.

3:14

There was so much. They hit all

3:16

eight games, all eight game ones here.

3:18

We'll start with the three most

3:20

compelling series, in my opinion.

3:22

Knicks won 23 -1 -12 over the Pistons

3:24

while it's compelling because first of all,

3:26

we went 4 -0 with our picks

3:29

on Cousin's House winning weekend. Good job

3:31

by us. But also, Brother Bry was

3:33

there. was there. Polly kids, Polly

3:35

kids, kids, some of these kids were there.

3:38

And you gave up on the team, Brian.

3:40

They were looking bad. They

3:42

were down about a dozen. And you

3:44

like Bronson, I think is done. Well, when

3:46

I said Bronson, when I said Bronson

3:48

was done, when I was there, he had

3:50

heard his and he rolled his ankle

3:52

and was on the ground. Then he collapsed

3:54

on the ground about like two minutes

3:56

later. When you were there alive, it

3:58

looked like he was done. It was like,

4:01

and then he went to the locker room.

4:03

And then all he needed to do was change

4:05

out of those Grinch basketball shoes, apparently. And

4:07

then he was fine. He put on new sneakers.

4:09

But yeah, when he collapsed down the second

4:11

time, I was like, oh, that's no good. He

4:13

just like collapsed to the floor. And I

4:15

was like, oh, this does not look good. He

4:17

looks done. It

4:20

was, I mean, crazy game because,

4:22

you know, the Knicks were, they

4:25

did not play well for three quarters. I

4:27

mean, granted, the Pissons were hitting every shot.

4:29

I mean, when Tobias Harris is 22 in

4:31

the first half, And Tobias Harrison

4:33

and Hardaway have like 34, the first 60

4:35

points, you're like, oh, shit, here we go.

4:38

But, you know, you go into 21 to

4:40

nothing run in the fourth quarter. And

4:42

I thought, you know, you know, campaign was

4:44

great in that fourth quarter. Brunson was great in

4:46

the fourth quarter. Towns was really good. Hard

4:48

helped out. OG

4:51

saved them in the first half. Didn't really

4:53

do as much in the second half. And

4:55

that Bridges was non -existent for the next.

4:57

So he's going to have to step it

4:59

up. They want to win any

5:01

games and maybe a second round.

5:03

They are so fun when they're rolling,

5:05

man. Bronson, when he got back

5:08

34, Townsend OG, like he said, 23

5:10

points. Cade

5:12

Cunningham, 21. Pauli Kidd, I

5:14

feel like when the inferior team loses a game

5:16

like that, even though they were in it, it

5:18

sometimes means you're going to see that same game

5:20

again and then they lose their will. I feel

5:22

like this is going to be a quick series.

5:24

I know you don't want to jinx it. How

5:26

are you feeling about the Knicks? Well,

5:31

it's great to get that first

5:33

win out of the way, even

5:35

though it was not as easy

5:37

as the final score indicates. It

5:39

seems like we've seen some

5:41

blowouts. That was far from

5:43

a blowout victory, down by

5:46

eight going into the fourth

5:48

quarter. So there were

5:50

a lot of things that I didn't

5:52

like. At the same time, you take

5:54

the win and you're thinking that You know,

5:56

maybe they put it all together in game

5:58

two and go up to nothing you

6:01

know at in the same Token,

6:03

I'm cunning them didn't have a

6:05

good game by his standards the

6:07

way he's been playing so you

6:09

also think little little scared of

6:11

him putting up like 35 points

6:13

in the next game and You

6:15

know it being a nail biter

6:17

again. It just seems like all

6:19

the games at the garden tend

6:21

to be Like that yesterday Why

6:24

is that Brian? What's going on at the

6:26

garden? What can you tell people? Well,

6:29

Darren knows. Darren says it all the

6:31

time. Guys make shots against the Knicks when

6:33

they come to the garden. Again,

6:35

Harris was hot. Beasley couldn't

6:37

miss early. The

6:40

Knicks defensively have a lot of issues. They

6:43

still do not. OG, I think,

6:45

is great defensively. They still

6:47

do not play well defensively together. They

6:49

still have a lot of holes there. So

6:51

guys do end up with a lot

6:53

of wide open shots, um, which,

6:55

which really hurt them, especially in

6:57

the first, you know, two and a

6:59

half quarters of that game. But

7:01

that's what's going to help against the

7:03

Celtics. That's definitely what that next

7:05

series matchup. uh problems minus

7:07

750 now to win that series the take

7:10

back for pistons plus 530 game two

7:12

is monday we'll pick that up in a

7:14

bit we'll make that pick harry's still

7:16

like detroit Sure.

7:18

Sure. I mean, look, they controlled that

7:20

game kind of for three quarters. The fourth

7:22

quarter was just, they just got destroyed

7:24

in the fourth quarter. So come back strong

7:27

Detroit in game two. All right. The

7:29

other series, well, this was the best, again,

7:31

we still have Houston Warriors waiting on

7:33

that result, but this was the best game.

7:35

It wasn't even really close. Now that

7:37

I look at the scores, Nuggets 1 -12,

7:39

Clippers 1 -10 and overtime. Clippers

7:42

had a big lead. Denver, Stratch and

7:44

Claude. wanted an OT and meaningless three

7:46

and OT cut it from five to two.

7:48

And that was the big cover for

7:50

the Clippers backers who were getting three and

7:52

a half. By the

7:54

way, that, I mean, that, that line went

7:56

all over the place, right? I mean, it

7:58

went from Clippers favor, but anyway, it ended

8:00

with the Clippers covering their Yoke, it's 29,

8:02

nine and 12, Gordon 25 and

8:05

eight and Harden on the other

8:07

side kept the clips alive with 32

8:09

.11 assist and six. Threes,

8:11

Harry, Westbrook ended up, I mean, you

8:13

just don't know what you're getting with

8:15

him ever. He is going to be

8:17

an enigma when you talk about his

8:19

legacy, when he makes the Hall of

8:21

Fame, which he will. But

8:23

I mean, when you have

8:25

2025, Westbrook is just a complete

8:27

roller coaster. No, absolutely.

8:29

And earlier last week, I did say that this

8:31

is probably going to be the most entertaining for me

8:33

at least. I thought it was going to be

8:36

the most entertaining series so far it is. That was

8:38

a pretty good game one. Yeah. I

8:40

mean, Westbrook was, you know, like you

8:42

said, don't know what you're going to

8:44

get, but 15, eight, three and two

8:46

steals from him. Big three, big steal

8:48

at the end to win the game

8:50

for Denver's Allen. I'm characteristically like Leonard

8:52

had seven turnovers for the Clippers. I

8:55

got a problem. My player prop

8:57

is from this game. I will do that

8:59

in a little bit. Oh, OK. All

9:01

right. Denver minus 138 to win the series

9:04

now Clippers plus 118. Yeah, Westbrook is

9:06

just a bit like first of all, They

9:08

stopped guarding him, Brian. And so that's

9:10

why he got the three. They got the

9:12

open three, the big shot there. It's

9:14

like, oh, he's 44 % from open three.

9:16

Like, yeah, no kidding. Because he disappears and

9:18

everyone forgets he's on the court. And

9:20

he turns it over or whatever. He could

9:22

have wanted regulation, whatever it was. But

9:25

yeah, he's something else. Yeah, look,

9:27

that was a big win for

9:29

the Nuggets because that was that

9:31

for certainly, I mean, if the clips

9:33

go up, one nothing there. that

9:35

series. I mean, that's going

9:37

to be a tough comeback for the Nuggets,

9:39

I think. So now, you know, now, I

9:41

mean, it's a good series. Good. Well, I'll

9:43

work backwards here. Denver minus 138, they're up

9:45

1 -0. T -Wolves minus 138, they're up 1 -0.

9:48

Same line as Denver. On

9:50

the Lakers, they won

9:52

1 -17 -95. Just blasted them out of

9:54

the building out of crypto. Ant

9:56

22 with 4 -3's Randall 16. He

9:58

had 4 -3's. Now, his read off

10:00

the bench technically with 23. He was

10:02

8 for 12. Luca

10:05

37, LeBron 19, Austin

10:07

Reeves struggling a little bit. Here's where

10:09

the problem is with the Lakers. You

10:11

could say, oh, whatever, it's sleepy. They're

10:13

a little older, whatever. The

10:15

fouls were 21 -10 in favor

10:17

of the Lakers, Harry. Like

10:20

I think that's, so if you're gonna be

10:22

like, oh, they'll fix it in the game

10:24

too. Well, it was already kind of lopsided.

10:26

What do you think, Harry? I mean, I

10:28

love the team moves anyway going into this. I

10:31

know you did that. I know

10:33

you loved it. That was a great

10:35

start. And again, not a lot

10:37

of inside play for the Lakers and

10:39

LeBron James. I mean, me and

10:41

you got a little screwed here on

10:43

the player prop with Bron James.

10:45

I mean, you know, he ended going

10:47

into halftime. He had zero rebounds,

10:49

zero assists for the entire first half.

10:51

He can't do that. You can't

10:53

do that. You can't do that LeBron. You got

10:55

to get rolling. I mean, you ruin a nice

10:58

game from Luca to shooting. He did his job.

11:00

But again, Timberwolves very strong again in the

11:02

playoffs like they were last year. Now,

11:04

Pauli, kid, you are salivating right now because

11:07

this is the only. Well, again, we

11:09

don't know what Houston Golden State, but this

11:11

is your city. We will have the

11:13

stats for this. I mean, it

11:15

used to be like the team that lost

11:17

game one, the home team that lost game

11:19

one is like 21 and two against the

11:21

spread. I want to say something crazy. You

11:23

have to be all over the Lakers. That

11:25

game's not a Monday night, but when did

11:27

I play? I mean, NBA spreads it all

11:29

out to play Tuesday night. Is that going

11:31

to be your move? Lakers minus six and

11:34

a half. Yeah, well,

11:36

a lot of it depends if

11:38

the Rockets hang on and lose

11:40

this game. I'd probably just parlay

11:42

the two money line and do

11:44

that. That's probably what I would

11:46

do. If not, I'll roll with

11:48

the Lakers against the spread here,

11:50

probably in a singular fashion, or

11:52

I might just do both in

11:54

a singular fashion. I got to

11:56

take a look at it, but

11:58

I know. But

12:00

boy, I don't know how

12:03

great I would feel just because

12:05

if you look at the

12:07

numbers, I don't even think the

12:09

T -wolves played their best game.

12:11

And they did shoot 50 %

12:13

from three. So I think

12:16

that was very helpful. 21 -3s.

12:18

21 -3s. But the Lakers also

12:20

shot like 36 % from three,

12:22

which is actually pretty good in

12:24

itself. Edwards was 8

12:26

for 22, which is a little scary.

12:30

because he's more likely, you

12:32

know, most likely to have

12:34

a better performance as well.

12:36

But I do think the

12:38

Lakers have to tie this.

12:40

This is obviously a must

12:42

win for the home team

12:44

here. If not, the series

12:46

is over. So they

12:48

got to get it. I would

12:50

expect a big time performance from

12:52

James and from Luca. In

12:54

this next one. So yeah, that's you

12:56

know, I like that. So yeah, you

12:59

never feel great about betting the team

13:01

that just lost especially now if it's

13:03

by 22 points But that's the beauty

13:05

of that zigzag game one game two

13:07

for the home team that lost Oh,

13:09

yeah, I really think that's that's an

13:11

accurate style like 21 and 221 and

13:13

three against spreaders somewhere in there. I

13:15

paces 117 98 over bucks Yanis 36

13:17

and 12 didn't matter Pascal

13:19

Siakam, 25 and seven. Good job by

13:21

you, Brian. You cash on that player

13:23

prop, right? I had McConnell over six

13:25

and a half. That was fairly easy

13:28

at 11. Lillard running his

13:30

mouth from the bench. I don't feel he's going

13:32

to help. And the starters making five

13:34

field goals outside of Yanis, that is

13:36

not going to help either. I'm not to

13:38

give up yet. I picked the Bucks,

13:40

Brian, but I think I might be on

13:42

the wrong side. Yeah.

13:44

I mean, that's how it feels, right?

13:46

It's funny. you look

13:48

at that lineup that they put out

13:51

the other day, the Bucks, and you're like,

13:53

oh, shit, I know the Bucks finished.

13:55

The Bucks finished the season up really well,

13:57

too. And you look at the Lamping

13:59

like, oh, my God, how are they winning

14:01

games with with some of these guys

14:03

out there on the floor? Right. But yeah,

14:05

they got nothing from Kuzma, got

14:07

nothing really from from Rollins.

14:10

I mean, you know,

14:12

they had to go to their bench pretty much pretty early

14:14

on in that game. So yeah,

14:16

I don't know, Sal. I added four,

14:18

three Pacers in that series, but I

14:20

don't know. I mean, who knows what

14:22

Dame yet? I mean, if he's able

14:24

to come back later in the series,

14:26

I'm not sure. But yeah, I think

14:28

it's going to be tough for the

14:31

Bucks, especially to win on the road

14:33

here. Jeez, they looked even, you know.

14:35

Whatever I like Turner just I know

14:37

you look at Yanis the stats pretty

14:39

pretty impressive 36 12 whatever but like

14:41

Turner's forcing jump balls against them You

14:43

know I kind of like stuffing them

14:45

and stuff like it's just like oh

14:47

man This is a this could be

14:50

a short series Pacers minus 280 now

14:52

for the series bucks plus 230 They

14:54

play Tuesday the line is four and

14:56

a half these other three Just ones

14:58

and twos just crushed all over the

15:00

place, right? I mean that's OKC,

15:02

again, we don't know the

15:04

Houston result. OKC 131, Memphis 80.

15:07

I feel like that Friday play -in

15:09

game means nothing. I know I said

15:12

I like the play -in series, but

15:14

I'm not sure that Friday thing,

15:16

but we have to get excited about

15:18

a team that's going to lose

15:20

by 50 in two days, really matters.

15:22

SGA, here's the other scary part.

15:24

That was by 51. Shay

15:27

Gildes Alexander, only 15 and one

15:29

from seven, from three. Like Wiggins

15:31

had like 21 off the bench.

15:33

Thunder to sweep was plus 154.

15:35

Now it's even Boston wins by

15:37

17 over Orlando. Derek White with

15:39

30 parley kid seven for 12

15:41

from three. What was your Derek

15:43

White prop? I have

15:45

him. I had him 15 plus

15:47

points at plus money in this game.

15:49

And I also have him to

15:51

make the most threes in the series

15:53

as well. So a great start

15:55

for Derek White. He's just a It

15:57

seems like he's just a super

15:59

clutch performer. I don't know. He's

16:02

tremendous. We talked about who would have

16:04

to get hurt, Harry, for this series, right?

16:06

Brown, Tatum, White,

16:09

and that, I don't know. Maybe we just keep

16:11

going. I mean, it was close at half, Harry,

16:14

49 -48. Yeah, I mean. Yeah,

16:16

man. Magic had the lead at half

16:19

and getting 14, but... But again, only 37

16:21

second half points. You knew Boston was

16:23

going to come back. That was probably the

16:25

play bet and then second half. But

16:27

this is a game where like you just

16:29

mentioned about these seven, eight, nine, 10

16:31

teams seated that get into that play the

16:33

first game. I mean, this is the

16:35

game. The magic could have really have stolen

16:37

up one and a half and Tatum

16:39

and Brown weren't even that good. They had

16:41

like 17 and like in 15. This

16:44

was the game to get it for the magic. So maybe

16:46

Yeah, what you're saying sound makes sense.

16:49

Maybe the magic at steamrolled really

16:51

in game two. Well, talk about stealing.

16:53

Every stat was pretty close, except the steals

16:55

were 13 to five in favor of Boston

16:58

and a 19 point lead. They won

17:00

by 17. They just beat you up. You

17:02

know, if they make more threes in you,

17:04

they're going to win. They made six more

17:06

threes and didn't even seem like it was

17:08

that crazy a disparity. Right. You just cooked.

17:10

When you look at the scoreboard, uh, Cleveland

17:13

121 Miami 100, the,

17:15

the. I don't know.

17:17

Cleveland just has the better D

17:19

Mitchell. Donovan's greater than Davion.

17:21

30 points for steals for Donovan.

17:24

I didn't watch. How about Jerome? How about

17:26

Jerome? He's another

17:28

Mitchell. No. No. I'm

17:30

just talking about Mitchell's. I only want

17:32

to talk about Mitchell's today. 28.

17:36

Cavs minus 8 ,000 for the series. Miami

17:38

22 to 1. Cleveland's sweep is plus 124.

17:40

I had the heat to win at

17:42

least two games. Not loving that. parley kid.

17:44

I'm not sure what, uh, we just

17:46

have to wait for some of these ones

17:48

and twos to get it done early.

17:50

And I guess they'll have a long rest

17:52

in some cases, right? Yeah.

17:55

You know, it's, so we,

17:57

we kind of slam the

17:59

NBA a lot for not

18:02

being competitive and, uh, so

18:04

obviously, aside from the nuggets,

18:06

uh, clippers gaming, I guess

18:08

the next, uh, pistons game.

18:12

Well, it was kind of so lackluster.

18:14

Six and one there and a double

18:16

digit wins. Six and one. Nobody knows

18:18

how it goes. Well, these

18:20

games today, these

18:22

four games today, terrible.

18:25

Yeah. You know, they could have

18:27

stole some of the spotlight today.

18:29

These games are terrible today. Warriors

18:31

up 66 -50 now. So we

18:34

should talk. We really, really should

18:36

talk. about my blowout bonanza

18:38

here in the NBA. After

18:40

five days of basketball, not including

18:42

the Warriors, Houston, which

18:44

looks like I could win another,

18:46

that would be another plus 285 for

18:48

Warriors. So then I lose the

18:50

Houston side. I lose 185. But if

18:52

I don't, whatever, I'm plus 3 .67

18:55

units. I broke even on all

18:57

three blowouts today. Take the ones

18:59

and twos. I feel like, Brian, you got

19:01

to take the ones and twos. I'm going

19:03

to modify it a little and put a

19:05

little on minus 19 and a half for

19:07

next year. You would have collected about two

19:09

to one odds on two of the four,

19:11

right? Yeah. I mean, I

19:13

think, I think you kind of have to do that,

19:15

right? Cause some of these spreads are third, some of

19:17

these spreads are 13 and a half, 14 and a

19:19

half. So you really have to. Well,

19:21

the team's playing Friday, right? In a

19:23

lot of cases. They're

19:26

giving up game one. Right. Yeah, a

19:28

couple ways. So yeah, no, I agree.

19:30

And I think every once in a

19:32

while, yeah, it's not a bad idea

19:34

to like to jump on these 25

19:37

plus 30 plus. Right. Yeah.

19:39

I think it's not bad. I

19:41

live bet the thunder. Thunder were up

19:43

like six, seven right away. And

19:45

I live bet the 20 plus at

19:47

like plus 150. But nice. I've been

19:49

in the 30 would have gotten you, you

19:51

know, probably five, six to one. Sometimes you just.

19:54

I just, you only have to see about two

19:56

and a half minutes of the game. I mean,

19:58

that's, look, I watch the games. I'm

20:00

watching the games. I'm turning it on with like a

20:02

minute and a half left. And

20:04

if it's 10 or more, I'll watch.

20:06

And if it's tied or a one point

20:08

game, I turn it off. Isn't

20:11

that how people watch? It's

20:16

interesting. It's an interesting way to go

20:18

through life. All right, Monday play of the

20:20

day. We have two games, the Knicks

20:22

minus six and a half over the Pistons.

20:24

That's game two. Knicks are home. Clippers

20:26

are not home, but favored by one and

20:28

a half over the Nuggets in Denver.

20:30

How about the Nick fans start us off

20:32

here, brother, Brian, you have a

20:34

player prop and get as a player prop.

20:36

Yeah. going to go with Josh Hart over

20:38

nine and a half rebounds. Look in game

20:40

one, you know, being at the game, Hart

20:42

was in foul trouble early, right? Picked up

20:44

two fouls right away. And then

20:46

a third so he was on the bench for

20:48

a lot of that first half only played

20:51

30 minutes And if you know if he's not

20:53

in foul trouble, he's likely playing 40 plus

20:55

minutes Although he was a big part of their

20:57

fourth quarter come back there But he still

20:59

had seven rebounds in those 30 minutes So if

21:01

you look back is three his last three

21:03

regular season games He had ten or more rebounds

21:05

if you recall last year in the playoffs

21:08

He was an absolute monster right getting 13 14

21:10

15 rebounds in some of these games I

21:12

think he's probably disappointed himself

21:14

in that first game. He

21:17

was kind of a little lackluster there for

21:19

most of it. So I think he's going to

21:21

provide a lot more energy from the start.

21:23

So I would take Josh Hart over nine and

21:25

a half rebounds. All right, Pauli, Kid, you

21:27

and I both have the Detroit. No, we have

21:30

the Knicks in five. You have you have

21:32

the exact results for the five games and you

21:34

have the Knicks winning this one, the

21:36

Knicks losing game three and then winning games

21:38

four and five. Right. So you're

21:40

leaving it alone. and taking a player prop

21:42

though for game two. Right. That's why I'm

21:44

kind of leaving it because I already have

21:46

action on the next to win this game. Anyway,

21:48

so I like Brian's. I was actually looking

21:50

for hard props. They weren't up

21:53

on the board when I was looking for

21:55

him. So I did like that. I

21:57

was actually looking for his rebound total. So

21:59

I liked that one. I'm taking Bridges

22:01

two plus three pointers here at minus 104.

22:04

As we mentioned previously,

22:06

Bridges was disappointing, at

22:08

least offensively in game

22:10

one. didn't see the

22:12

ball much at all or really

22:15

just in a command to have

22:17

the ball much at all. And

22:19

usually these teams make adjustments. I'm

22:21

sure they're gonna be a little

22:24

bit more aware of OOG, et

22:26

cetera. And I think that will

22:29

just give Bridges some more opportunities.

22:31

Bridges has been pretty good this

22:33

year about bouncing back offensively after

22:35

like a lackluster performance. He normally

22:37

rebounds with a solid one. He

22:39

averages two, three pointers a game.

22:41

Uh, anyway, throughout the season, I

22:43

feel like this is a game

22:45

after really just taking two and

22:47

missing both that we're going to

22:49

see him get five or six

22:51

three pointers in this game. And

22:54

he'll knock down a couple, take

22:56

it, basically had even money here.

22:58

All right, Harry, you and I

23:00

have the nightcap here. Like I

23:02

said, the clippers favored. in Denver,

23:05

you know, I look at the box score, I see why the, I

23:07

mean, obviously went to overtime. That was

23:09

anyone's game. But

23:11

the Clippers starting five, we're all in double digits.

23:14

You do expect Denver to falter at

23:16

any point, but everybody loves the Clippers

23:18

in this game. You're going,

23:20

you're going player prop here. I'm going

23:22

to go Avika Zubaka, 12 or more

23:24

rebounds at minus 120 was fourth

23:26

in the league and rebounds. I used

23:28

them the other day in a rebound

23:30

prop that I won with. He had

23:32

13. He out rebounded a Yoka

23:34

in that game and game one versus

23:37

Denver at 17. versus in the

23:39

Clippers last regular season game. And that

23:41

22 weeks ago in the game too,

23:43

it's just so reliable. 25 of the

23:45

last 26 games. He's had at least

23:47

double digits in boards. I think he

23:49

does it again here versus Denver gets

23:51

at least 12 and gets out at

23:53

12 is minus 120. 14

23:55

is plus 210. 16 doable

23:57

at plus 460. Okay. Play

24:00

the ladder there. I'm going Christian Brown

24:02

over two and a half assists. That's

24:04

minus 120. This didn't hit last game.

24:06

But it has in seven of his

24:08

last nine right there at home. Five

24:10

of the last six overall, he's averages

24:12

four, four and a half right there

24:15

in that span. So run over two

24:17

and a half assist. Let's

24:19

tell NFL before taking a break

24:21

here did not a lot of

24:23

draft. There's not much NFL news.

24:25

I mean, Aaron Rodgers went on

24:27

Pat McAfee and said absolutely nothing

24:29

for the 34th straight time. So

24:32

good job there. Otherwise Thursday, big

24:34

day. Harry,

24:36

I got this pool going here, right?

24:38

I'm runyourpool.com. Here's one of the questions.

24:40

Let's see if you can get it.

24:42

Will any drafted player lift Roger Goodell

24:44

off the ground upon greeting him on

24:46

television? Yes or no? Yes. Yes.

24:49

You don't even think about it. Yes. Yes.

24:51

Yeah. Everybody says yes. I just

24:53

think about when, you know, when,

24:56

uh, when. Yeah, that's

24:58

what I was thinking. Kansas City Chiefs,

25:00

you know, 31st pick, Bearhug, whoever

25:02

the Chiefs draft, and Goodell's happy, and that's

25:04

that. I mean, it's not... Did the 31st pick

25:07

usually come out? I don't know. I'm not

25:09

sure if... But you agree, Paul, again, it has

25:11

to be a Bearhug. Like a fireman's carry

25:13

would be a little bizarre. Yeah,

25:15

it certainly would be. It's going to have

25:17

to. Yeah, definitely. All right. I would like

25:19

to see the latter, but whatever you're going

25:21

to do. All right, let's do this. I

25:23

mean, there's so many props on Fandall to

25:25

be bet here. We're going to hit a

25:27

lot of them Wednesday night on our podcast,

25:29

but let's do this one because this was

25:31

interesting to be a first round pick to

25:33

be drafted in the first round, the first

25:35

32 on Thursday. All

25:38

right, Harry, start us off here.

25:40

You couldn't make this easy, right? I

25:42

say, pick one player here. You're

25:44

going to parlay and someone has to

25:46

pay minus a buck, 70 or

25:49

something on this. What is this? You

25:51

got to lay a buck, 67.

25:53

But hey, you know what? Props to

25:55

Fandle sportsbook. They allow actually parlaying

25:57

that in the first round. So I'm

25:59

going to go Jackson Dart. of

26:01

Mississippi in the Mecca of Ohio State.

26:03

Dart, obviously great athlete, can send

26:05

plays with his legs as well. Strong

26:08

arm, tremendous during his pro day. Maybe

26:10

the Saints at nine, who knows what

26:12

the Saints do? Pittsburgh at 21, showing a

26:14

ton of interest in him as well. And

26:17

again, no one knows what he's mentioned. No one

26:19

knows what Aaron Rodgers wants to do. And

26:22

I actually think, personally, I think

26:24

Dart's better than, I think he's better

26:26

than Sanders myself. Dart to go

26:28

on the first round and Ibuka also. He

26:31

was second season now for a

26:33

thousand yards or more at Ohio

26:35

State. He's the Ohio State Buckeyes

26:37

all -time leader in receptions now. Maybe

26:40

again, maybe Pittsburgh doesn't go quarterback at 21.

26:42

They could use an extra wide receiver. The

26:44

Rams at 26. And like I just mentioned,

26:47

Chiefs at 31. I think that's also a

26:49

possibility as well. I know a lot of

26:51

people are high on Matthew Golden, the Texas

26:53

to go ahead of him, especially what he

26:55

did late in the season. Arizona

26:57

state and his time in the, in

26:59

the trials was fantastic. But, um, and

27:02

his, and his pro day too. But

27:04

I still think at Bucca with that, those

27:06

numbers, still a solid receiver coming out of

27:08

the big 10 guys got to lay

27:10

167. Yeah. All right. Well, I don't know

27:12

about, I mean, cause the over on their,

27:14

at Brian's like for two and a half

27:16

quarterbacks, the overs like minus three 20. So

27:18

you expect art will probably go, right? There's

27:21

even talk like Milro can bounce into the

27:23

first round, sum out with the strongest arm.

27:25

Like Boog is just in that, that

27:27

go, I'll get to it. I'll get to

27:29

it right now. Like I, I'm going to

27:31

go Luther burden to be a first round

27:33

pick. You get plus two 30 for that.

27:35

And you don't have to parlay it. That's

27:37

what's beautiful about this. Now listen, I. I

27:40

read the mocks, I read the comps. I

27:42

don't have any special insight on this, but

27:44

I think he's got a shot at

27:46

being a first round. I think teams, first

27:48

of all, get excited about having a big

27:50

playmaking receiver. The last five years, this is

27:52

how many wide receivers have gone in the

27:54

first round. Six, four, six, five, and five.

27:56

So the prevailing wisdom is, oh, you can

27:59

always wait and get a wide receiver. Sure

28:01

you can, but I feel like teams

28:03

get excited. I think probably kids,

28:05

people look like, wow, that's our best guy

28:08

on the board right now. We should take

28:10

them, even though we didn't want to take

28:12

a wide receiver here. So I think teams

28:14

pull the trigger on wide receivers. We know

28:16

they do on quarterbacks, but I think they

28:18

do on wide receivers too. Burden, first team

28:20

all SEC with Missouri, ran a 4 -4 -1

28:22

at the combine. It's good 50

28:24

-50 guy, good YAK guy, create

28:26

separation. I could go on and

28:28

on. Fourth

28:30

best, I think if there's four, four and

28:32

a half wide receiver, I think he's in

28:35

there. Is that, yeah, I think there's going

28:37

to be a run, right? Someone will take

28:39

a wide receiver, maybe even our Cowboys, probably

28:41

a kid, take Arizona kid, we are 13.

28:43

And then you got Bird and Agbuca and

28:45

Golden. And I looked like, right, it looks

28:47

like they're all kind of the same. So

28:49

plus two 30, I think is a good

28:52

number for Bird, you know, Texans, Rams, they

28:54

could all be in the, in business for

28:56

a wide receiver early on, probably a kid,

28:58

give us yours. Yeah, well

29:00

if I can ask Harry a quick

29:02

question Harry when you're watching the

29:04

film of dart and Sanders like what

29:06

makes you think that What what

29:08

is it about dart that you think

29:10

is I think he's a better

29:12

than Sanders all around teammate all around

29:14

teammate I think he uses his

29:16

legs more than probably Sanders would Sanders

29:21

was impressive. Don't get me wrong because he didn't have

29:23

a great offensive line and didn't have a great running

29:25

game at all in Colorado. And

29:27

Mississippi did, but I just liked the

29:29

way Dart carries himself. I think he's been

29:31

fantastic in his college career at Mississippi. I

29:34

actually think he's going on the first round too.

29:36

So I do like that. He just, he was

29:38

testing you because he knows you don't have cables.

29:40

So he was wondering. Not

29:42

a lot of old, not a lot of

29:44

old misgames on CBS. All

29:46

right. So I think

29:48

a really good resource for

29:50

this type of stuff

29:52

is the, it's a mock

29:54

draft database that you

29:56

can look and find every

29:58

single mock draft and

30:00

where these guys are projected.

30:03

to go. It's kind of like the original AI. It

30:06

really just like took, hey, if we

30:08

ran this a thousand times, this is

30:10

what it would be, right? Right. And

30:12

that's, so I kind of, with these

30:14

type of props, I kind of look

30:16

at that because it just gives you

30:18

something, like a lot of them, just

30:20

some small time outlets that the throne

30:22

picks out there. But in my case,

30:24

I'm going to be taking Nick Scowerton

30:26

from Texas A &M at plus 200

30:28

to go into the first, in the

30:30

first round here. 6 '3,

30:32

280 edge rusher. He's actually lost

30:35

about 30 pounds since the end

30:37

of his season because he was

30:39

actually more of a bull type

30:41

of rusher coming off the edge.

30:43

Now he's lost 30 pounds. So

30:45

he's at it's a little less,

30:47

still a big guy, 250 coming

30:49

off the edge, but has increased

30:52

his 40 time. And at 20

30:54

years of age, that's can

30:56

be rare nowadays, right? Like with some

30:58

of these guys coming out at 23,

31:01

24, 22, sometimes at the youngest.

31:03

You could draft somebody that's 20. That's

31:07

not even scratching, hasn't scratched

31:09

the surface of their full potential

31:11

yet. That's what Scourton is to. And

31:13

his average draft position

31:16

is about 28. And

31:18

that gives me a little wiggle

31:20

room here to get him drafted in

31:22

the first round. So even if

31:24

he fell a little bit lower than

31:26

that, still projects to get into

31:28

that first round. plus 200. I'll roll

31:30

the dice on Skywarden. I like

31:32

the kid and I like the fact

31:34

of this age being a nice

31:36

bonus for a team that takes it.

31:38

Should you even be allowed to

31:40

draft a 20 -year -old? I mean, it

31:42

seems kind of... Doesn't seem like

31:44

it anymore. It be illegal. It

31:46

goes straight to jail. I think your

31:48

mind's in the gutter for doing something like

31:51

that. Brian, I love

31:53

this prop. I love this top 20 prop because

31:55

I feel like you could pick four guys.

31:57

If you hit on two of them, you're going

31:59

to make money, right? And if you do

32:01

it like the parley kid, where you just like,

32:03

you know, you wisely pick your, or if

32:05

you do it like Harry, you make like a

32:07

four player parley that pays 160. Now, you

32:09

know what I'm saying? No, I think like you,

32:11

you're going a bigger swing here. Well,

32:14

look, I, I, that's, I mean, that's why

32:16

I do like this here, right? There you're

32:18

going to get, I'm curious.

32:20

I almost want to take a snapshot

32:22

of all these guys because you're going

32:24

to get. Yeah, we're doing it. One,

32:26

two, or three of these guys, right,

32:28

who are going to, you're going to

32:30

get pretty good odds on. the plus

32:32

200 to 600 range. Exactly. You're

32:35

going to get a couple of these.

32:37

And Sal, I really like yours because

32:39

Burton was, Burton was a guy last

32:41

year who was talked about as a

32:43

top 10, top 15 pick. Right. And

32:46

then he kind of fell off. They don't

32:48

have great quarterback play. So

32:50

I wouldn't necessarily blame it on him.

32:52

So he really could be the second or

32:54

third best receiver. So I thought that

32:56

was really good value. I

32:58

like that one there. But so I'm

33:00

going to go with the bigger, longer

33:02

shot at plus 500 and Carson Swessinger

33:05

from UCLA. Look, he had a weird

33:07

story, right? He went from a walk

33:09

on to somebody who didn't really play

33:11

in his first two years. And then

33:13

he was phenomenal. in

33:15

his first full year starting, right? Led

33:18

the country in solo tackles

33:20

with 90, four sacks, two

33:22

interceptions, a force fumble, the

33:24

kid's like a high motor kid all over

33:26

the field. And I, like I started watching

33:28

more of his film because I had seen

33:30

stuff previously that this was a guy who

33:32

potentially had like first round buzz. And like

33:34

who knows, he could be, you know, not

33:36

just first round pick could be in the

33:38

top 20. And if you,

33:41

when you watch the tape, he does

33:43

fly all over the field. So I

33:45

could easily see, you know, depending on

33:47

what the other linebackers do or edge

33:49

rushers do, like if there's a run

33:51

on those guys early, this is a

33:53

guy who somebody for sure in the,

33:55

in the first round might take a

33:57

chance on this guy. And I thought

34:00

like five to one was crazy because

34:02

you know, if you are looking at mock

34:04

drafts and other things, there's plenty of them

34:06

that have him. But I mean, the majority

34:09

of them have him in the second round,

34:11

but there's still plenty who have him in

34:13

the, you know, 25th, 23rd, you know, so

34:15

I thought a five to one number for

34:17

this kid was really good. I think there

34:19

was even some fake Cowboys article and like

34:21

Cowboys really liked this kid. Well, you know,

34:24

I was just gonna say, it's gonna be

34:26

great. You're gonna win your bet, but your

34:28

Raiders are gonna take them at six and

34:30

you're gonna lose your mind. Yeah.

34:33

Screaming. Screaming. They took them. I called

34:35

it. Damn it. I called it. We

34:37

would have done that a few years

34:39

ago for sure. For sure. There

34:42

you go. I'm also betting no

34:44

buzzer beaters in the draft. Like

34:46

I don't think any team gets

34:48

their pick in within three seconds

34:50

of the. Real good.

34:52

Yeah. OK. That's going to be a winner.

34:54

Let's take a break. We have Major League

34:56

Baseball. We have NHL Embedding coming up. All

34:59

right, major league baseball Mets sweep the

35:01

Cardinals for the first time since 1986

35:03

parley kid They beat John Tudor in

35:05

the game three there. They never could

35:07

beat that guy. My god That's how

35:09

you knew we had it in April,

35:11

but they also never had a four

35:13

game sweep against st Louis Lindor a

35:15

home run three hits Soto two hits

35:18

three RBI's Hopefully the Mets comp fans

35:20

calm down a little bit with the

35:22

Soto thing. They gave him a standing

35:24

go the other day I'm not sure

35:26

that's necessary either, but whatever 15 and

35:28

seven two up on the filthies. Yankees,

35:31

on the other hand, three or four

35:33

from Tampa this weekend. Freed

35:35

had a no hitter. What happened? He

35:37

had a no hitter. And then

35:39

there was a scoring change. That play was in

35:41

the sixth inning. It was a ground ball

35:43

to Goldschmidt. He booted it. They called it an

35:45

error. And then they gave

35:47

it. They changed it to a hit during the

35:49

game in the eighth inning, right? Right.

35:52

Right. So. Yeah,

35:55

look, if you see the play, when

35:57

you first see it, you're like, that's

36:00

100 % an error. I

36:02

mean, it's error 100 out

36:05

of 100 times. Then

36:08

you watch it and

36:10

you realize Goltzman probably ranges

36:12

too far to his

36:14

right. Freed as a

36:16

lefty is falling towards the third

36:18

base side at the pitch. And

36:21

the lefty seemed like It

36:23

was almost like the SFV

36:25

had dragged a bunt and

36:28

was halfway down the first

36:30

base line as Goldschmidt was

36:32

booting the ball. It

36:34

looks like there's no way

36:37

Freed could have gotten over

36:39

and made the play. Now,

36:42

and I think that's what the official score

36:44

is looking at. But I

36:46

would contend to say, well, if Goldschmidt

36:49

lets the ball go. and

36:51

lets the second baseman field

36:53

it, and he just retreats the

36:56

first, it could just,

36:58

it could be an out. I

37:00

didn't look at it like that. You

37:03

know what I mean? But he

37:05

didn't die for it. He had, he

37:07

had it. But if he

37:09

fields it clean, I think the guy beats

37:11

it out. I agree. I agree. And

37:13

I think that's, so all right, we should

37:15

say that he gave up a hit

37:18

in the eighth, so it didn't really, matter,

37:20

but it was after, now I'm confused

37:22

with the timeline. Was it after they found

37:24

out he lost the no hitter that

37:26

he gave up the hit? Or had he

37:28

given up the hit? That is a

37:30

great I can't remember now. I think it

37:32

was after, actually. I

37:34

think. Well, did they take him out right away? My

37:37

thing is, I think it was reversed

37:39

after the other hit. Oh, OK. All

37:41

right. So it wasn't a factor, right?

37:43

I hope that was it. Yeah. But

37:46

if it wasn't. Then I kind of

37:48

have a problem with it. You really

37:50

have to score that an error. Uh,

37:52

I think well, first of all, you engage

37:55

in literally game changer. That's an error, but I'll

37:57

say this. He freed wasn't beating him. I

37:59

watched it about five times. He wasn't, and he

38:01

didn't give up on it because he saw

38:03

it was booted either. He didn't know it was

38:05

booted until he looked up and he was

38:07

like sprinting to, I think he got a little

38:09

bit of a late start too. Not sure

38:11

he would have beaten it anyway. He'd beaten the

38:13

runner to the base. That looking

38:15

back that. where

38:18

Goltzman ends up feeling that ball, you

38:20

know, knocking the ball down. Well, now

38:22

I got to look at that. I

38:24

don't know. He is so far over.

38:26

Right. That it probably was really the

38:28

second baseman's ball. But,

38:31

you know, just instinct. if you can look

38:33

at it like that. I just instinctly. I don't

38:35

know. But I just think it's an, I just

38:37

think it's an, I think it's an error

38:40

regardless. So if you, if you feel the cleanly

38:42

and, and there's no play at first, it's

38:44

a hit. Duke, you know, even

38:46

though I get what the replay

38:48

guy is thinking, but if that was

38:50

going to be the determination, uh, and

38:53

cost somebody a no hitter, that would have been

38:55

very, very, yeah. It's good that it didn't matter. Brian,

38:57

what were you going to say? No, I was

38:59

just going to say, I think the story here is

39:01

we should go back and take Johan Santana's. Yeah.

39:07

Definitely nervous about that one again.

39:10

Hey, listen, the one that

39:12

happened that. The only one I

39:14

care about is when we

39:16

all watch together and Harry's rehearsal

39:18

dinner, five picture, no

39:20

hitter for the Mets. You

39:22

all had to eat shit that

39:24

night. So stupid.

39:28

Yeah. But here's something interesting. Let me say

39:30

this. This wasn't the case, but let's

39:32

say free never takes off to first. And

39:34

it was a slower runner. Is

39:36

that is that an error on

39:38

free? That's

39:41

right. I mean, we saw.

39:44

That's not the whole case, right? Exactly.

39:47

Yeah. Like he didn't get an,

39:49

he cold didn't get an error. Yeah. But you

39:51

don't get, you shouldn't get a hit for routine

39:53

ground, but not that this was routine, but if

39:55

it was fielded cleanly, I don't know,

39:57

whatever. So there's a lot of gray areas, what

39:59

I'm saying, but it didn't matter. A lot of

40:01

gray, a lot of gray there for sure. And

40:04

the Yankees should have swapped the series. That's the

40:06

bigger story. I mean, I'm, Little

40:08

concerned that Alonzo ruined

40:11

Devin Williams last year. Jesus.

40:13

mean, I I don't know how this

40:15

guy Williams again It's a short sample.

40:17

I don't want to kill him just

40:20

yet, but right He was so such

40:22

has been such a good relief pitcher

40:24

right for the Brewers and I've never

40:26

really paid too close attention Can't get

40:28

it out. He's not a he's not

40:30

a hard thrower. Mm -hmm. He throws

40:32

change up after change up nibbles around

40:35

I'm like, how was this guy? So

40:37

good. I just, I have yet

40:39

to be able to figure it out,

40:42

but I'll give him a chance

40:44

here. Although I do think Weaver should

40:46

be the Yankees' closer while this

40:48

guy, Williams, figures it out. Yankee fans,

40:50

like the Mets fans did with

40:52

Soto, should give Williams a standing ovation

40:54

next time he walks out and

40:57

see if psychologically that does anything. But

40:59

almost same record as the Mets here,

41:01

14 and eight, two up on Toronto.

41:04

Things are good in New York as

41:06

we reach the... seventh mark in

41:08

the baseball season. Padres, Harry, 16 and

41:10

six, they're technically the best in

41:12

baseball. Want to guess what their odds

41:15

are to win the West, the

41:17

NL West? Still,

41:19

I'm going to say plus 160. Brian,

41:22

you want to guess? To

41:24

win the West? Yeah.

41:28

There's still

41:30

minus three

41:32

something. Minus 30 something.

41:34

Padres to win the West. Oh, the

41:36

Padres. I thought you said the Dodgers

41:38

to win the West. Oh, the Padres

41:40

to win the West. You're still getting

41:42

five to one. Seven to

41:44

one. Yeah. Oh my God. That's 700 Dodgers

41:47

minus five fifth. Wow. Yeah. Well, that's what

41:49

we talked about. I mean, that's what I

41:51

talked about last week. I was like, is

41:53

it worth it to jump on the Padres

41:55

just because I know, but now there's 16

41:57

and seven. Suarez

41:59

Suarez might be the best reliever

42:01

in baseball. Oh, man. That's a crazy

42:03

number. Have you got anyone's ever

42:05

seen anything like that before? If

42:07

you're best in baseball, seven to one. Tatis

42:10

Tatis is right there for MVP. I get

42:12

it. There's a billion games left. But my

42:14

God, that's a big number. Well, yeah. And

42:16

look, there's a chance that both of them

42:18

do win. I mean, there is a chance

42:20

both of them do win like a hundred,

42:22

like somebody wins a hundred and four games

42:24

and somebody wins a hundred and two. So

42:26

I do think it's worth putting money on it.

42:28

Just just in case. I mean, sure. Yeah.

42:30

I mean, seven to one, how many more

42:32

weeks? When does that move? I mean, they're

42:34

good. I mean, they are legit.

42:36

The Padres, a lot of that helps

42:38

the Dodgers and the Padres at the

42:40

Rockies of the worst team in baseball

42:42

three and 17. My friend, Jason Schrift.

42:44

uh, taking this kid, uh, touring

42:46

colleges there in the, uh, Rocky

42:49

mountains, their state 19 bucks

42:51

sat behind the dugout today. 19

42:54

bucks set three and 17. Harry worst, worse

42:56

than baseball. Are you taking them? I don't even

42:58

know if they play Monday. Let's give

43:00

our plays of the day. Harry, go

43:02

ahead. What are you doing here? You

43:04

gave us two options here. Which one

43:06

you're going with? Yeah, I'm going to

43:08

go Blue Jays Astros under seven a

43:10

half for the game. Open Fandula had

43:12

it at eight. Now it's seven a

43:14

half at minus 104. I'm going to

43:16

go under. Both starting pitchers have ERAs

43:18

under two and a half. Blue Jays,

43:20

Kevin Gossman hasn't allowed more than 300

43:22

runs in any of his starts so

43:24

far of the season. And he's got

43:26

16 Ks in his last two starts

43:28

combined. Plus Houston's Hunter Brown hasn't given

43:30

up an earned run in his last

43:32

two times on the bump for the

43:34

Astros. and plus throwing South Toronto has

43:36

scored more than four runs just two

43:38

times in the last 10 games overall

43:40

under seven a half Astros. All right,

43:42

Paul, can I just realize I took

43:44

your favorite team? I didn't mean to

43:46

pull a hat right here. I know.

43:48

I took the Tigers. They're

43:51

almost inexplicably favored

43:53

at minus 126. By

43:56

the way, I should mention we were 4 -0 the

43:58

other day, because I finally won one. You guys

44:00

have been doing well. I finally won a game. God

44:02

forbid I went 2 -0. Keter Montero, the

44:04

young Ben as well, a pitcher goes

44:06

for Detroit. They took three or four from

44:09

KC. And yes, I'm going against the

44:11

hottest team in baseball, the Padres,

44:13

but they had to travel after the night

44:15

game. This line is a little weird,

44:17

but I'm picking the AL Division leading Tigers,

44:20

L Central Division leading Tigers through

44:22

a third. The American League

44:24

and Run scored 5 -3 final. Detroit

44:26

takes it in a rematch of the

44:28

1984 World Series. So that's my picks

44:30

up. Parley kid, brother, Brian, you guys

44:33

could battle out over this Phillies Mets

44:35

game. Go ahead, Brian, you go first.

44:37

I like you. I like what you're

44:39

saying. Yeah, look, the Mets minus 116. And

44:42

I think the number should be higher.

44:44

Look, the Mets, I will say like

44:47

there, I knew the Mets were pitching

44:49

well. But then I looked at

44:51

their stats today with brother John. I

44:53

was like, I was like, look at I

44:55

was like, wow, the Mets pitching has

44:57

just been absolutely phenomenal, right? And spent like

44:59

no money on some of these guys.

45:02

Spent no money. I was like, I was

45:04

like, this, this pitching coach for the

45:06

Mets has been, this last two years has

45:08

been fantastic. And look, this, this

45:10

is a matchup. You have McGill on the mound who's

45:12

been very good. going against Nola and

45:14

Nola is 0 -1 -4 and he's been

45:16

terrible to start the season. And sometimes Nola

45:18

has those bad games and could have

45:20

those bad games against the Mets. And I

45:22

think like the Mets bats, you

45:25

know, maybe Lindor and Soto, the last two

45:27

games, maybe starting to wake up a little bit

45:29

here. So pairing that with Alonzo, even if

45:31

the rest of the line is still not hitting,

45:34

I think just the way the Mets

45:36

are pitching right now, I have to

45:38

favor them in this game here. So

45:40

I like them as a virtual pick

45:42

them. Yeah, they're hitting okay. Kunya Jr.'s

45:44

got a nice little hitting streak

45:46

going. You know, we'll get some,

45:48

you know, Brett Beatty, he'll get going. We're

45:51

going to figure this out, hitting -wise. Parley

45:53

Kid, do you think Nola, this is

45:55

where the slide stops for him? Well, that's

45:57

kind of what I'm thinking here, right? Nola

46:01

is bound. He's

46:04

due for a win. He's 0 -4.

46:06

He's been shellacked, unless he's just

46:08

totally fried in his career. coming

46:10

to an end. I do

46:12

think he's bound to rebound here.

46:15

I also think if you really

46:17

look at the Mets pitching

46:19

stats, keep in mind the

46:21

Mets have not pitched against a

46:23

good offense yet. Maybe Toronto, but

46:26

they haven't really had to

46:28

face an offense like this Philly

46:31

offense for sure. So,

46:33

you know, Mets scoring three or four

46:35

runs. It's probably not going to

46:37

be good enough. I think in this

46:39

type of game. I mean, McGill's been

46:41

good, but somebody that I don't think

46:43

the Phillies are afraid of and I

46:45

guess that I think Nola gets his

46:47

win here. And the

46:49

Mets will struggle against this Phillies team

46:51

who are one through nine, very solid

46:53

at the plate. To hell with you,

46:55

Parley. I don't like that kind of

46:58

talk. Sorry. I mean, minus one or

47:00

two. I know what Brian's saying. It

47:02

probably, I feel like it should be,

47:04

I should be getting a little bit

47:06

of a a plus number there in

47:08

this game, but we'll see. How can

47:10

you go against Darren? Well,

47:13

we're not going 4 -0. We're not going

47:15

4 -0. Can't go 4 -0. That's for

47:17

sure. Rain out, rain outside. That's right. We'll

47:19

take 2 -0 and then 4 with

47:22

the NBA. Let's do that. All

47:24

right, NHL, I feel bad. I

47:26

feel like we You know,

47:28

we ignore the NHL, and it's all Mike and

47:30

meatballs. He's like, don't talk hockey. I don't

47:33

want to hear about hockey. All right, that's fine.

47:35

We don't have to talk about. By the

47:37

way, why didn't they play all eight games this

47:39

weekend? They played five, Harry.

47:41

They played two on Saturday, three on

47:43

Sunday. You mentioned about the

47:45

NBA the way they scheduled the NHL

47:47

is is is that's bad now

47:49

because well Game started on Saturday game

47:51

started on Saturday, Florida Tampa Bay

47:53

doesn't start until Tuesday don't play again

47:55

Game two is Tuesday. They don't

47:57

play their game one is Tuesday. Oh,

48:00

right. Right. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Game

48:02

one is Tuesday. So it's great. But

48:04

I know that now that, you

48:06

know, they have a deal with ESPN

48:08

and the NT and T. So

48:10

they really have to kind of offset

48:12

the games with because the NBA

48:14

is with both as well. They catch

48:16

up eventually, I think. I think

48:18

everything. I think NHL still ends early.

48:20

But yeah, two Saturday, three

48:22

Sunday with the abs, the

48:24

only home team. To win

48:26

well the night the old nights are

48:28

beating the wild right now, but no the

48:30

jet jets one I'm sorry the only

48:32

only home team to only road team the

48:35

one I meant avalanche avalanche one five

48:37

one It seems like all teams other than

48:39

that and of course it is because

48:41

I bet all the underdogs for the series

48:43

So not a great start, but we

48:45

should pick a Stanley Cup winner Bri start

48:47

us off like I said the nights

48:49

are up to one and game one I

48:51

think you could still get that around

48:53

nine to one. Is that what you're going

48:55

with? Yeah, the nights nine to one. I

48:57

had bet I will say I gave

48:59

out the stars before the season. You

49:03

know, stars were a weird team. They start, you

49:05

know, they still had a good record. They started off

49:07

well, but then, you know, obviously they got beat

49:09

up game one to the Avalanche and they just have

49:11

a ton of major, you know, a bunch of

49:13

injury concerns. They've lost eight in a row. But

49:16

also, yeah, a bunch of injury concerns.

49:18

So like, unless they get certain guys back

49:20

or playing healthier. That could

49:22

be done. But I did like the Knights at

49:24

nine to one. I do

49:26

think the playoffs are a little bit more

49:28

wide open this year than some years

49:30

in the past. I do like the champion

49:32

coming from the West this season. But

49:35

the Golden Knights did finish with the third

49:37

best record in hockey, third best plus

49:39

minus. They are a well -balanced

49:41

team. And look, there's a team that

49:43

has just still a ton of playoff

49:45

experience right from that championship two years

49:47

ago, maybe last year, battling out in

49:49

the first round. You know,

49:51

well, you know gave them a little

49:53

bit more energy right coming into this season

49:55

on this playoffs. So I think, you

49:58

know, again, they're a battle -tested team. They're

50:00

a tough team when it comes to the

50:03

playoffs. I like them still at nine to one.

50:05

So, all right, there you go. Parley kid,

50:07

the Hurricanes, are they the favorites

50:09

to win? No. Yeah, I don't like that's

50:11

why, I mean, I'm not going to switch

50:13

it, but I'm going to give you just

50:15

kind of two picks. it was 6 .50, now

50:17

it's 4 .50. It was plus six, now

50:19

they won today, now it's down to plus

50:21

4 .50. which is unbelievable considering that. And if

50:23

you look at points, they have the 10th

50:25

most points out of the 16 teams in

50:27

the playoffs. Right? So it's

50:29

like, how are they even plus six 50?

50:31

It's kind of weird. And disappointing

50:33

in the playoffs last couple of

50:35

years. Well, well, that's the thing.

50:37

See, that's so my thing is

50:39

years back, I had a couple

50:41

of years in a row where

50:43

I went with the capitals. If

50:46

you guys can remember when we

50:48

first started basically doing pods, And

50:51

the Capitals were awesome during

50:53

the regular season. And then

50:55

they kind of like flamed up, but

50:57

they were making like little steps in the

50:59

playoffs. And then in 2018, when I

51:01

jumped ship on them, they ended up winning.

51:04

The last couple of years, I've been on the

51:06

Hurricanes and they've had really good regular seasons. And

51:09

they've only gone so far in the

51:11

playoffs. They went around it to two

51:13

rounds. They've been very good, but they

51:15

just can't get over the hump. This

51:17

year, it almost seems like they didn't.

51:20

exert themselves as much in

51:22

the regular season to

51:24

save a little bit more

51:26

for the playoffs because

51:28

they do play a physical,

51:31

they're not as skilled, I would

51:33

say, as a lot of

51:35

teams, but they're probably the deepest

51:37

team in the league. They

51:39

basically run four lines where they

51:41

got 12 guys, 13 guys,

51:43

with over 30 plus points on

51:46

their team. Ajo's their leading

51:48

scorer, he's a star. Maybe

51:50

not, you know, a super superstar.

51:52

He's very, very good, but they

51:54

just have very good players up

51:56

and down the lineup. And

51:58

I just feel like this year they

52:00

didn't, it's more about the playoffs

52:02

for them this year than it was about

52:04

the regular season, I think. So,

52:06

but a plus 450, I hate those odds.

52:09

That's it. You got to take it. You can't

52:11

take two teams. You got one team. Well,

52:13

my other one would be, I think, I think

52:15

you get very good odds with the Maple

52:17

Leafs at 12 to one. because

52:19

they're kind of in the same

52:21

boat and they're finally getting good goal

52:23

tending this year. And

52:25

I think that's obviously a big factor.

52:27

And I always like the teams from the

52:29

East for the most part anyway, because

52:31

I do feel like they've won six out

52:33

of the last nine. They tend to

52:36

be a little bit more rugged. It's a

52:38

different country. I know you want

52:40

to make them. They're not, they're from the East, but

52:42

it's a different country, probably good. They're not part of

52:44

our country, probably good. I don't care what you say.

52:47

You have to defend champanthers either,

52:49

do you? You know what, then?

52:52

I just think they're too beat

52:54

up. I just think they might

52:56

be a little too beat up.

52:58

It's tough to make long playoff

53:00

runs year after year like we

53:02

used to see at one time,

53:05

but I think it's just hard. So

53:08

I got to look back to

53:10

see who I had. to

53:13

win it all to start the year. I

53:15

think I had the Predators who didn't

53:17

even make the playoffs. That's

53:21

your pick, the Predators. have

53:23

to go stick with them. All right, Harry,

53:26

I think the Winnipeg had the most points

53:28

this year, right? Yeah. No,

53:31

they were great. They had the most points overall. And

53:34

my pick at the beginning the season was

53:36

the Rangers, so they didn't even make the

53:39

playoffs. I'm going to go Jets at eight

53:41

to one. I know the Jets have not

53:43

had the success they would like losing the

53:45

first one in the last two years in

53:47

the playoffs, but this year's team is loaded.

53:49

They had six players. Sal with 50 points

53:51

or more. Kyle Conner had

53:53

his best season of his career, uh,

53:55

had 97 points, led the team. He

53:57

had three points in game one, uh,

53:59

victory over St. Louis. Winnipeg had the

54:01

most wins, most points in the league,

54:03

led in point differential and was the

54:05

only team tremendous defensively. Only team in

54:07

the NHL that gave up under 200

54:09

goals. Sal at eight to one. I

54:11

think that's tremendous value for the team

54:13

with the best team in the regular

54:15

season. All right. I'm going to go.

54:18

I won't have as much to say

54:20

about the Kings at plus 1600. It's

54:22

a little Homer team because they're right

54:24

around the corner here. Tough matchup

54:26

in first round versus Edmonton. I think that's

54:28

why it's 16 -1. That kind of makes

54:30

sense, right? Edmonton's knocked them out the

54:32

last three years. Talk

54:34

about a little reversal of

54:36

fortune here, parley kid. Kings

54:39

are three and one against the McDavid's

54:41

this year. Four more points in the standings.

54:43

They won eight of the last 10

54:45

to close the season. Jim Hiller's

54:47

got him going. Their offensive metrics, they put

54:49

him in the top 10 in shots per

54:51

60 minutes, goals per 60, scoring chances per

54:53

60. They're third in the league in defense.

54:55

I just don't see them losing to Edmonton

54:57

four years in row. I think that's going

54:59

to be the big news of the first

55:01

round. And as Harry pointed out, I think

55:03

the game one is two weeks from Thursday.

55:06

So we'll get it. We'll get

55:08

it when that happens. So Kings

55:10

1600. is my 17 to 1 now.

55:12

Is it 17? Oh, man. Yeah, it's 17

55:14

to 1. It's sitting at right now. Oh, boy.

55:16

All right. No idea what happened. right. 17

55:18

to I'll take it. I'll take it. Maybe it's

55:21

the hurricanes when I move them down. I have

55:23

no idea. It's weird. I mean, I know.

55:25

Let's take a quick break. And Brother Brian, I

55:27

have a couple of bed eggs from the

55:29

other day. All right. It's

55:31

time to deep dive into the collectively crushed

55:33

soul of the D3 in a segment we hate

55:35

to call bed eggs. When

55:37

a bed makes you

55:39

sick. And you make the

55:41

wrong pick. It's a bad day. It's

55:44

a bad day. It's

55:46

a bad day. All

55:48

right, Brian, Thursday, you

55:50

and I, I mean, this is

55:53

Thursday already. We're talking to people listening

55:55

to this on Monday, but my

55:57

God, that game between the freaking, actually

55:59

it was Friday, wasn't it? Was it Friday?

56:02

Yeah, it was Friday. It was Friday,

56:04

that's good. 13 -11, the

56:06

cup was won. Friday. Oh

56:09

my god. So my bed ache is, I bet

56:11

it, I don't know, top of the first, bottom of

56:13

the first. I don't know what it was. I

56:15

bet it live 10 and a half. I have to

56:17

have some action. It's the early game Friday. It's

56:19

the only one. I bet under 10 and

56:21

a half. It's two to one going into the

56:23

bottom of the seventh. And

56:25

then I see seven to one. Like, ah,

56:28

shit. All right. Seven to one. I could

56:30

still maybe do 10 and a half. I

56:32

have like three frames, right? I got to

56:34

get seven to one. I could still give

56:36

up two runs in three frames. Nope. 10

56:38

runs for Arizona in the top of the

56:40

eighth, six runs for the Cubs in the

56:42

bottom of the eighth. I lose the Cubs

56:45

win 13 -11. I lose the

56:47

overrun there by 13 a half

56:49

runs when I was probably like

56:51

a minus 35 ,000 or something. In

56:54

the bottom of the seventh try, you

56:56

have a similar story. But I mean, just

56:58

the, just the rollercoaster game between these

57:00

two guys. Well, look, yeah. Cause I had,

57:02

look, I had a five team parley. Um,

57:05

this, I will say this was

57:07

the first game of that parlay. Um,

57:09

the other four did win. Uh,

57:12

but I had the Dbex on it.

57:14

So, and you know, it's, it's seven,

57:16

one. And I, this is one of

57:18

those. You're like, I just toss it

57:20

out. Right. It's just, yeah, I lost

57:22

my bet. All right. Whatever. And then,

57:24

you know, they score the Dbex score

57:26

10 runs in, in the top of

57:28

the eight. So you're up 11, seven.

57:30

Now I'm just thinking, wow, that was

57:32

such. That was such

57:34

a good win. That was such

57:36

a good win for this bet.

57:38

Six runs, and then

57:41

you send that article out

57:43

very shortly after how

57:45

the wins were just... like

57:48

insane. Well, I bet it after seeing

57:50

that article because I'm a idiot. I'm

57:52

like, oh, I'm betting you on it

57:54

because everybody loses on this. But the

57:56

wins didn't kick up until the seventh

57:58

inning, apparently. That was just, I

58:00

felt I went from being like, this

58:02

bet is dead to, oh my God,

58:04

what a great win to holy shit.

58:06

This is this terrible. My,

58:08

you know, our crazy friend Brad and

58:10

I, him, he's a baseball historian. So

58:12

he loves like stats and stuff like

58:14

this. So we were trading it just

58:17

on this game. We had like four

58:19

emails back and forth with insane stats.

58:21

So in just the seventh and eighth

58:23

innings and regularly six home runs, two

58:25

grand slams. All four types of hits,

58:27

single, double, triple, home run, all four

58:29

types of home runs, solo, two run,

58:32

three run grand slam, three half innings

58:34

of five plus runs, never in major

58:36

league baseball history had all that happen

58:38

in an entire game, let alone two

58:40

innings. That's crazy. That's one thing. Here's

58:42

another one. The Cubs became the first

58:44

team to allow 10 runs in a

58:47

single inning after the third inning and

58:49

still win the game in 113 years. 113

58:52

years. And then, um, this

58:54

is an Instagram post. So,

58:57

uh, this is a rare rule that

58:59

happened. So the Cubs, Ethan Roberts came

59:01

into the game when they were trailing

59:03

eight seven with two outs in the

59:05

eighth, he gave up a home run,

59:07

but then did get the out. And

59:10

then in the bottom of the

59:12

eighth, the Cubs take the lead and

59:14

they win. So Roberts is in

59:16

line for the win. The official score,

59:18

Ryan Pressley comes in to protect

59:20

the lead and gets a save. So.

59:22

Um, Roberts was not given the

59:24

win impressively. It wasn't given to save

59:26

MLB allows official scorers to take

59:28

the win away from a pitcher if

59:30

they believe his outing was insufficient.

59:32

And that's what happened. And like they,

59:34

they can award it to a

59:36

picture. We thought it was more effective.

59:38

It never, ever happens except in

59:40

this case. So, um, I didn't

59:42

get a number on how long that took.

59:44

Wow. Anyway, Brian, of course we both lost on

59:46

that. So, um, play the music

59:48

there, Mikey meatballs, get us out of beddings. All

1:00:02

right, Cousin Sal against all odds

1:00:04

at gmail.com. Cousin Sal against all odds

1:00:07

at gmail.com. We have a letter

1:00:09

here from Paul Paul. It says, it

1:00:11

says, guys, something needs to be

1:00:13

done about Harry. Everyone gives their baseball

1:00:15

selections for games being played that

1:00:17

day. Harry gives out Detroit at minus

1:00:19

148 listing Job, but Job pitches

1:00:22

on Friday, not Thursday. And guess what?

1:00:24

He's a plus 131 dog. This

1:00:26

is just embarrassing for you three professionals

1:00:28

to put up with this. Harry's

1:00:30

been extremely hard on Matt Painter. If

1:00:32

we were to judge Harry in

1:00:34

the same scrupulous manner. Yes, I

1:00:36

was. Harry would go on for a

1:00:39

good 20 minutes about how Harry stinks and

1:00:41

over eight and should be gone. It

1:00:43

would be like Coach Painter showing up with

1:00:45

a scouter. report on the wrong team,

1:00:47

wrong date, wrong picture, wrong odds. Just

1:00:49

awful. Thank God the rest of

1:00:51

you always bring your A game. Paul, thank

1:00:53

you, pal for pointing that out. I mean,

1:00:55

I think he's exactly, you know, I'm an

1:00:57

idiot too. Why don't we catch this? Why

1:01:00

don't we? Did Paul see my video on

1:01:02

X about my 2 and 0 picks at

1:01:04

WrestleMania? Yeah, I don't know. Probably not. But

1:01:07

we recorded

1:01:09

the podcast, Joe

1:01:11

was still pitching for Detroit. So sorry,

1:01:13

I can't be, you know, we flip things

1:01:15

around. Joe was still pitching. I don't

1:01:18

think he was. I don't know if he

1:01:20

was. I don't know if he was.

1:01:22

checked. He was. Here's what happens, Paul, if

1:01:24

I may explain. I put the outline

1:01:26

out and a lot of the time I'd

1:01:28

leave it open -ended. I know we're

1:01:30

going to give a baseball play of the day. Almost

1:01:32

any day we're going to do a podcast, right? Harry

1:01:34

is the very first to jump on it, right? Paulie

1:01:36

Kidd, he's the very first to give his. And

1:01:38

yes, a lot of times the pitching matchups

1:01:41

aren't established. Well, they're not written in stone.

1:01:43

And Harry, I could see you not going

1:01:45

back and checking that. This is my pick.

1:01:47

I'm staying with it. I just have to

1:01:49

block Darren from picking Detroit or whatever your

1:01:51

stupid reason is. Right. Right. Right. Right. So

1:01:54

let's apologize to Paul. But he is

1:01:56

right. No, no. He is very right,

1:01:58

Harry, that. No, it's not. You don't

1:02:00

want to be accountable for anything, but

1:02:02

you'll kill a guy painter. That far.

1:02:04

It's super successful. Yeah. Super

1:02:07

successful. Yep. How many

1:02:09

championships? Well,

1:02:11

how about you? But that's what he's saying.

1:02:13

How many championships? I mean, at least

1:02:15

he knows who he's playing. I guess what?

1:02:17

I'm on the NFL championship between three

1:02:19

this past year. Three of us.

1:02:21

Yeah, because they're not to change the games

1:02:23

and the quarterbacks onto there. But that that's

1:02:25

probably why. I don't know.

1:02:27

I checked and he was still pitching.

1:02:29

Well, you won't, you owe people an

1:02:31

apology. Paul Paul gets an apology.

1:02:33

So wonderful. It's minus four, one forty eight. So

1:02:36

one. By the way, well, I mean, he's saying

1:02:38

it's a whole different picture. Like you should that

1:02:40

that should be like a scratch. It doesn't ever

1:02:42

really count. Right. It doesn't count. It doesn't count.

1:02:44

Sometimes that Let's take that away from Harry. That

1:02:46

one doesn't So, Brian, did we go 3 -0

1:02:48

then? And we didn't go 4 -0. Yes, we were

1:02:50

3 -0. Oh, shit. No, that's too slow. Oh,

1:02:52

boy. Thanks for ruining that, Harry. I find a

1:02:55

way to win her, and this is the way

1:02:57

to do. Easy winner. Easy winner, regardless. No. You

1:02:59

think that was really Paul who wrote that email

1:03:01

or else? That's funny. Our buddy, the MOOC, it

1:03:03

says Paul Paul. Now, the email address is different.

1:03:05

I mean, obviously, It could be anybody. I

1:03:08

don't know. I don't know who it could be. It's

1:03:11

Paul. Paul O 'Neill. Paul O 'Neill.

1:03:13

There's so many Pauls. All

1:03:15

right. Yeah. Cousin Sal against all odds

1:03:17

at gmail.com. Like I said, I will

1:03:19

be tweeting out the link for the

1:03:21

runyourpool.com free to play draft. I don't

1:03:23

think anyone else is doing this. I

1:03:26

haven't seen another draft contest. So this

1:03:28

will be fun. Free to play when

1:03:30

a thousand bucks. Why wouldn't you do

1:03:32

it? Join. That's on Splash

1:03:34

Sports. I'll be talking more about

1:03:36

that throughout the year, throughout the weekend.

1:03:38

Oh, David Wright is on Cousin

1:03:40

Sal's one weekend. You ready

1:03:42

for that on Friday? What a

1:03:44

delightful fellow he is. He's getting his

1:03:46

jersey retired on July 19th at

1:03:48

City Field. Hopefully we have the pennant

1:03:51

clinched by then, at least the

1:03:53

division. The camera can't clinch the

1:03:55

pennant. Those are the old days. That's

1:03:57

going to do it for another

1:03:59

episode of Against All Odds from Mikey

1:04:01

Meatballs and D3. I'm saying long
