00:03 Los Angeles Angels, last one we'll probably get to here.
00:05 So, they make more moves, they bring in CJ Krohn,
00:10 they bring in Randall Groychuk.
00:13 I don't know Donny, it's probably my fault here.
00:16 You know how I feel about this all.
00:17 People are so excited, "Oh, the Angels are buying,
00:19 "this is great, this is great."
00:22 Is it?
00:23 I don't know, there are four back of Houston
00:24 and Toronto right now, you guys think they're better
00:26 than those teams with these moves?
00:27 They're not, they just aren't.
00:30 I think they're better than the Rangers.
00:31 Maybe they'll contend, stop the madness.
00:33 You know, they're in a contended division, Donny.
00:35 They're behind the Yankees and the Red Sox
00:36 right now as well.
00:38 It's not even like they're the team knocking on the door.
00:40 There's multiple teams in front of them
00:42 to be the last wild card team here.
00:44 Are you more encouraged than I am
00:46 by the Los Angeles Angels' deadline moves?
00:48 - I'll tell you what I'm more encouraged about
00:50 by the Angels here is buying in the maybe team totals
00:53 or RBI props right now moving forward
00:55 because you're getting two more quality bats
00:57 in that lineup and then you add Mike Trout back in.
00:59 But I think we always start it.
01:01 It's frontline starting pitching that's going to doom them.
01:03 And hey, they got Giolito.
01:04 Well, look at Giolito's numbers.
01:05 It's not as if you got the Cy Young Award-winning favorite
01:07 here that you just brought over to your club
01:09 and now you're ready to dominate.
01:10 They're a front, and again, I don't know if they're done yet.
01:14 They could use one more starting pitcher
01:15 and then you would start to buy in because my goodness,
01:18 that one through nine that again,
01:20 the additions of Moustaka has been very good.
01:22 I talked about Moniac.
01:23 You get Trout back, it's like getting a free agent.
01:25 Otani's absolutely on fire.
01:26 Ward has provided, then CJ Krohn and Grichuk,
01:28 two really good baseball players there
01:30 from Colorado going nowhere.
01:32 Not to say they're going to step in
01:33 and hit 30 bombs down the stretch,
01:34 but they are guys that you can use on a day-to-day basis.
01:37 I don't know if they're going to be able to get their way
01:39 into a wildcard position to make the playoffs,
01:41 but I'm telling you right now,
01:42 this is one of those teams where RBI props,
01:44 yeah, they're going to be on the board
01:45 a lot of late night games for your boy DRS here.
01:48 - And look, folks, that is very valuable information
01:54 and you will be able to make money
01:55 with Donnie and the Angels
01:57 for the rest of the baseball season, okay?
01:59 Separating that, the Angels' odds to win the American League
02:04 have grown longer since they've started to make these moves.
02:10 I'll tell you, DRS, somebody gave Sharratt Pan
02:12 the controls behind the room.
02:14 They were 35 to one, they made more moves,
02:16 they had the Guardians jump them,
02:18 and they moved them back to 40 to one.
02:19 They are begging you to bet the Angels.
02:22 They are begging you.
02:25 Look, man, I am not saying that this team
02:28 should have done nothing, right?
02:31 Was doing nothing and just sitting there
02:35 and missing the, okay, fine, right?
02:38 Like, try, give yourselves your best chance,
02:40 but this is going to end with them
02:44 missing the playoffs again.
02:46 And then they'll have no Otani and no prospects.
02:48 Are they going to trade Trout then, Donnie?
02:52 Are we going to trade Trout this offseason or what?
02:54 What are we doing here?
02:56 What are we doing here?
02:57 Like, now is when they push in DRS, now.
03:00 And I saw the other, this is the closest
03:03 they've been to a playoff spot since 2017.
03:07 I mean, this team has been useless for half a decade.
03:11 And now, with the biggest star in baseball,
03:14 likely on the way out, they decide, you know what?
03:17 Now we push all in with our, I don't know, man.
03:19 I don't know.
