00:0015 to one good joe is that the case the united states yesterday ramping up for the wbc at an
00:06exhibition game against the san francisco giants that score was two to one after one inning that
00:11score ended up 15 to one after nine 18 hits by the u.s squad here which included plating six
00:17runs
00:18in the seventh inning tuning up for the wbc by tuning up the giants yeah well that's it just
00:25keep rolling with that whatever that is whatever you just keep you guys keep scoring that many runs
00:30donnie the world baseball classic will be over before uh you know keep giving me that there and
00:36i think we're we'll be just fine all right you ready for this next topic joe this this hits home
00:41right here yesterday you may have watched the program we were questioning paul skeins nope we
00:46were questioning tarik skuble so i'm going to tell you about paul skeins in just a few moments here
00:50but let's do that little backstory here joe tarik skuble love it awesome wow he's going to be in
00:55the wbc one of the best pitchers in major league baseball back-to-back cy youngs this is going to
01:00be so much fun to watch and he goes yeah it's going to be fun i'm going to pitch against
01:05great britain
01:05i'm going to throw maybe 55 pitches as soon as that game is done i'm not even taking a shower
01:10back
01:10there i'm going to just get on a private jet and head back to detroit camp and cheer on the
01:15boys from
01:15afar now let's bring in paul skeins who also won a cy young last year skeins goes yeah i'm going
01:21to
01:21pitch in the wbc semi-final and if they advance i'm going to need four to six days of rest
01:26looks
01:26like the fight will be in about a week's time there is a chance that skeins is like yeah i'm
01:30sticking
01:30around give me that ball to win the wbc i'll be out there for my squad while tarik skuble is
01:37already
01:37back in detroit camp what are we missing here joe we have captain america out here and then we have
01:42a guy
01:42ducking come on behind the scenes donnie he could have done all of that without telling us he was
01:50going to be doing all of that right he could have came out just pitched against great and whatever
01:55reason we you know he could have gone back i got we would have but the fact that he laid
02:00all of that
02:01out there ahead of time the optics are absolutely atrocious and kudos to paul skeins because paul skeins
02:09is being hey listen i i'll pitch however many times you need me to pitch and skuble's like yeah
02:14you're gonna get two innings three and then i gotta go back to uh spring training so good luck to
02:20i'll
02:20come back and cheer you on if you make it to the finals like you got to be kidding me
02:24now this is
02:25like vacation for the players like i understand what spring training is but spring training is boring
02:29as hell you are telling me you don't want to get around the best players in baseball have some fun
02:35shoot it before the major league baseball season starts and yes you pitch against great britain
02:38but you want to hang around and joe did i miss something where it's like i can't get my work
02:44in
02:44with team usa i got to go back to spring training like there's no mounds where they're going to play
02:47in wbc you can't throw a bullpen session while you're there you can't hang out with the boys i
02:52guarantee you this you stick around with team usa talk about tarik skuble you're telling me after he
02:57pitches the camaraderie rises day to day there these guys will be talking about how great it is like it
03:02was the u.s olympic champion gold medalist the hockey team like this was the greatest two weeks
03:06of my life you get a week and a half in and all of a sudden you're playing in the
03:09wbc championship
03:10game joe and the next thing you know is like you know what skip give me the seventh inning there
03:14give
03:14me the ad like let me i am ready to go in there it's just amazing because missing out on
03:19an opportunity
03:19where they might win the wbc and you're not even around for the celebration it's just a whole odd story
03:24it really is it really is and again it was just handled ridiculous all you had to do was say
03:30the
03:30right thing smile at the camera you didn't have to tell anybody what your intentions were
03:35and nobody would have questioned it nobody would have quit because also there's a chance you don't
03:40make it to the finals right i i mean there's a chance that this doesn't work out and nobody would
03:45have known for the but no he had to come out and make that case and now okay let's see
03:51how that works
03:52out for you look you see like and i'm not equating this joe to a playoff baseball run of the
03:56world
03:56series but the reason i see starters pitch in the postseason is because it's not a normal game
04:01flow which either is the wbc and starters aren't going to pitch game one game two and game three
04:04here's what they do joe pitch game number one pitch game number four and then she's like a bullpen day
04:09for them anyway in game six or seven hey i got an inning for you coach or skip like i
04:13can go out 20
04:14pitches at this point that's all we're asking for hey be available in a big spot where we might need
04:18you and who wouldn't want to come in what pitcher joe cy young would not want to come in and
04:23say you
04:23know what all the eyes of the baseball world are watching skip give me that baseball in the
04:28bottom of the ninth i'm gonna go end this thing here you know who did that last shohei otani on
04:32a world stage against team usa striking out mike trout legends can be made in this moment and it
04:38doesn't take a lot joe it really doesn't no it doesn't and listen especially the world baseball
04:43classic we always said right pitching was gonna be key and we all understand anybody watching and is
04:51not expecting skeins to go out there and throw seven innings eight no we were never expecting
04:55any of these guys to do anything more than three innings here or there right so this is just all
05:02unnecessary for him and he brought it upon himself so kudos to him way to go paul what and kudos
05:09to
05:09paul skeins by the way for stepping up and being like whatever it takes yeah hey man i might pitch
05:15twice here i might not no big deal i'm gonna hang around with the boys and away we go usa
05:19is the
05:20favorite at a minus 110 price in the wbc let's see how that plays baseball classic talk right here
05:26right here on the sports grid network and we love these predictive markets to get after it's myself
05:30donnie right side and joe ranieri it's starting joe because why we have exhibition games that are
05:35being played right now before it's going to be pool play so let's break down some of these pools joe
05:39and
05:39we'll start with pool a puerto rico canada cuba panama and colombia the favorites no surprise
05:45it's puerto rico trading at 48 percent canada 22 percent cuba 15 percent panama and colombia am i
05:52wrong to think joe a 15 cent trading point here for a contract on cuba is a little bit light
05:59and
06:00to win their pool a hundred dollar investment pays back 667 or am i overthinking myself and it
06:05is puerto rico joe supposed to be the best team in this group well they uh they are supposed to
06:10be
06:11the best team in this group but i'm with you donnie there is no reason at that price not to
06:16uh
06:16not to invest in that uh in that cuba contract because i think ultimately it's going to come down
06:21to those two but would we really be shocked if cuba ends up uh winning that group i don't think
06:27so and
06:28at that price how many games do they really have to win in this group in order for us to
06:32make uh make
06:33a profit yeah colombia trading at 12 as well but the heavy favorite is puerto rico but i do think
06:38there's a chance that we might have an upset in this player pool and we'll certainly find out if
06:42that happens let's go to pool b run away team usa joe in the county marketplace they're trading at an
06:4987 chance here mexico 11 italy by 2 and i want to start to say this where some people will
06:56look joe and
06:56say okay i'm going to take a contract out on the 87 chance that they win it oh no it
07:01only pays back
07:0215 did you see the rotation that the americans are going to throw out there against mexico brazil
07:08great britain and italy by the way maybe the easiest bracket is the one that team usa is in
07:13most people won't joe but also most people don't like to bet a lot of juice but if i told
07:17you it's a
07:18free 15 back in a week here why not take advantage no yeah i i mean listen it's theirs to
07:25lose donnie
07:26right and judging from the 2 000 runs that they just scored against what the giants uh in that
07:33exhibition game there yeah it's i think they'll they'll dispatch of this group rather easily but
07:40you know don't forget the more games that they win and they win donnie easily the the more this
07:46market is going to go up so now might be your last opportunity to hop on in the group market
07:52it's and and again we're trying to structure this where it's almost like joe i would rather bet the
07:57united states to win their pool b which again odds are going to be much less than winning at all
08:01but the way it shapes up is they are throwing their top guns no doubt about it in pool play
08:06and then
08:07we'll see what we get once we get to the knockout stages and the championship game 87 most people
08:12will shy away i think it looks like easy money at this point right now let's head over to pool
08:16see the
08:17winner and look at that japan trading at 89 clip here joe for that contract and they won it last
08:22time korea chinese taipei australia and chechia behind them here japanese the heavy favorite just
08:29like the united states joe yeah you better be able to hit a splitter uh because the the pitchers that
08:36team japan has it's just ridiculous here including yamamoto and the best pitcher they have actually
08:42won't pitch but he also happens to be the best hitter in shohei otani this team is stacked donnie
08:48i mean they've got experience that are defending champs these guys have played each uh all the rest
08:53of the team have played with one another in the japanese professional league this is i'm sorry the
09:00team to beat not only in the group but once again for this tournament i do like how they set
09:05it up and
09:06particularly here joe as you take a look at pool see the winner right japan trading at 89 if you
09:10just
09:10wanted to fade them and say i don't think they make it out maybe korea pulls up the upset 100
09:14investment on the no for japan would pay back at 667 but the thing i do like joe regional rivalries
09:22here japan korea chinese taipei all lumped in there you know there's going to be a lot of pride from
09:27those nations in this pool alone there is and listen it's still baseball donnie so anything
09:34can happen here right so it's uh i don't think any of the favorites are just thinking they're going
09:42to you know march right through here and everything is going to be easy so uh yes they i do
09:47think there
09:48are a couple of groups that might see an upset or two but not with the big three favorites here
09:54pool d winner joe the dominican republic trading at 65 as a chance here venezuela at 29 and then
10:02nicaragua at four percent israel and the netherlands follow up and they're trading at two percent and
10:07three percent respectively here but if you are looking up top this feels like dominican republic
10:11and venezuela going to be a war and so much fun i can't imagine what the stands look like between
10:16those two games flags flying cheers and chants left and right but the dominicans here they're getting
10:22a lot of steam also joe to win this thing overall i wonder if their manager who also happens to
10:28be a
10:28hall of famer uh albert pool halls uh might suit up and pinch hit here but i don't think he
10:33has to
10:33you got soto machado uh vlad guerrero jr fernando tatis jr i mean they are stacked and they got some
10:42pretty good arms uh in that bullpen too but you're right donnie venezuela it's going to be this is going
10:48to be an interesting group ultimately i think there's just too much power on the dominican republic team
10:54to sleep on him joe if i gave you a choice and we'll call it who will falter puerto rico
11:00you take
11:01a look in pool a pool b the united states pool c japan and then you have pool d in
11:06the dominican
11:06if you had one choice to pick who's not going to survive out of that who would that pick actually
11:12be
11:13yeah i think maybe uh team puerto rico might have their hands full uh there but i know a lot
11:19of guys
11:20that think they are a dark horse team yeah very talented right um but you know carlos correa
11:27francisco lindor not there edwin diaz you remember all of these guys there i think they could be in
11:35trouble in that group donnie how about this though the classic winner overall it's still the americans
11:41here with a heavy favorite joe 52 percent followed by japan at 22 percent and the dominican republic at
11:4719 percent couple teams there venezuela mexico and puerto rico five percent three percent and two
11:51percent it still seems like team usa is the team to back right now in the wbc according to these
11:58prediction markets well i mean that's the problem there's no i don't this isn't about you know
12:04winning or picking the better team this is just about picking the best avenue to profit uh as quickly
12:10as we can here and i still think the defending champions have the best opportunity not just
12:17to win it outright but certainly have an opportunity to uh to profit here at the price
12:22because everyone is focused on team usa it's so interesting how some of these numbers come about
12:28too because like the finalization of the rosters here how the pitching is going to work out you go
12:32back to the first of the month december the first joe usa was trading at 32.1 percent japan was
12:38trading
12:38at 31 percent here and now you fast forward to today the united states at 52 percent japan at 22
12:44and even though you get some things like oh scoobal might not pitch again that's huge if you tell me
12:49paul skeins will be available if they make the championship game which means 60 plus pitches out
12:53of him that's a big difference to mclean who we do like for the mets but when you get a
12:57guy like
12:57skeins or scoobal those brand name prospects out there that's going to change a lot of things up
13:02you
13:02you
13:02you
