00:00Right now, though, time for our Junkies Weekend Parlay,
00:03which we are tweaking.
00:05Drab, can you explain the tweak?
00:07And the reason for the tweak is we've been terribly unsuccessful.
00:11And the tweak is we're making all of our picks fadeable.
00:14What does that mean for those at home?
00:17Having fadeable picks means if you like the Pistons to win tonight,
00:25one of us does, or tomorrow, you would fade that by picking the Cavs.
00:30So you do the opposite.
00:31You do the opposite.
00:32And everyone always says that we're horrible at this, which we are,
00:35and it's not any fun because we lose all the bets.
00:38Well, now we're giving you an opportunity to pick the exact opposite of us
00:42on every single bet.
00:43Right, because sometimes we make plays where you can't go with the opposite.
00:47Like if you picked a Kentucky Derby winner, you can't pick the opposite.
00:51Or if you pick a guy to hit a home run in a game, you can't fade that.
00:55Right.
00:56But if you pick a winner in a game, you just go the other way.
00:59It's kind of like always playing against Cakes.
01:01The people that kill us, okay, it's obviously horrible if we go 0-6 or 0-7
01:05and nobody wins.
01:06But these parlays are $10 to win $3,000.
01:11Almost impossible to hit those.
01:12But it's uncanny when we, week after week, only hit one pick.
01:16That's true.
01:17Like you're 0-3 so far in the reboot.
01:21All right.
01:21But how bad was my luck that the Magic lose a 24-point lead in the third quarter?
01:27Oh, that was looking.
01:29I think somebody even tweeted us, Jason picked the winner.
01:32And then Orlando missed 23 straight shots.
01:34That's unheard of.
01:36Yeah.
01:36He doomed me.
01:37To miss 23 straight shots.
01:39Yes.
01:39So anyway, it's our fatable junkies weekend parlay.
01:43Do you have the sound effect for the wheel?
01:46No, let's just recall.
01:46All right.
01:47Why don't you start?
01:48All right.
01:48I'll lead off.
01:49You know what?
01:49I'm an NBA guy.
01:51There's game three tonight, Timberwolves against the Spurs.
01:54If you watch game two, you would think I'm crazy here because the Spurs just dismantled
01:59and demolished the Minnesota Timberwolves.
02:02But remember, the T-Wolves stole game one in San Antonio.
02:07That was their mission.
02:08Game one, now you got home court advantage, right?
02:10They now go back to Minnesota.
02:12Minnesota, I think they're going to win this game straight up against the Spurs.
02:18Anthony Edwards has been back.
02:19He came off the bench.
02:21He really hasn't had a vintage game.
02:24The role players tend to play better at home.
02:27I think Minnesota, they have had a lot of success in the playoffs.
02:31They haven't made it to the NBA Finals.
02:32But the last couple years, they've had success.
02:33They've made a run at the Western Conference Finals.
02:36I think they handled their business at home.
02:38The emotion of game three, the home crowd leads them to a win.
02:42They're catching points.
02:44I'm just going to say they're going to win.
02:45So I'm going to take the T-Wolves on the money line.
02:49All right.
02:50Okay.
02:51Is there a pickle?
02:52Do you like?
02:53You want me to go?
02:54I mean, I can go if you're not ready.
02:56No, I'm fine.
02:57All right.
02:57So again, we're kind of limiting ourselves here a little bit because we're trying to find
03:01things where you guys can fade us.
03:05And the Nats played pretty well.
03:07I don't know if I'd buy that they're going to be able to continue to do this time in, time
03:12out.
03:13So do you like the Marlins?
03:14No.
03:15Foster Griffin is pitching, right?
03:17I believe tonight.
03:18Yes, he is.
03:20The over-under is four and a half strikeouts.
03:23So in his last, three of his last four outings, he's gone under, he's had three strikeouts
03:30in four of his last, three of his last four outings.
03:32So I'll go under the four and a half strikeouts.
03:36So you guys can fade it.
03:37If you think he's, you know, just want to fade him, go over, you can go over.
03:40So you're going under four and a half strikeouts, Foster Griffin tonight.
03:43Minus 118.
03:44In Miami.
03:45Yeah.
03:45Okay.
03:46Minus 118.
03:47Okay.
03:47Miami is just writing it down.
03:50So you're a Nats fan, so let's say he opens up the game and strikes out the side.
03:55Well, I mean, I would rather see them win.
03:57Right.
03:57I would rather see them win, to be honest.
03:58But it would be better if he strikes out the side to lead off the game.
04:01But my guess is, I don't know.
04:02Probably not going to happen.
04:03I don't know.
04:04I don't hate your play.
04:05Yeah.
04:05I don't hate it at all.
04:07All right.
04:07So Foster Griffin under.
04:09Although he's never had an outing where he's just gone like one inning or whatever.
04:12Basically, he'll give you five or six innings.
04:14Yeah.
04:14At least.
04:15He's solid.
04:16And the Nats are a much better road team than they are at Nats Park.
04:20Yeah.
04:2112-7 away from Nats Park.
04:22Yeah.
04:22All right.
04:22You're in.
04:23All right.
04:23I'll go next.
04:24Sticking in baseball as well, the Phillies, who have been pretty hot since they fired Robbie
04:30Thompson and Don Maddenley took over.
04:33Now, they got blown out last night by the Athletics, 12-1.
04:37But before that, they had won a bunch of games.
04:40They're playing the Colorado Rockies at home tonight.
04:43And the total is seven and a half.
04:46Now, the Rockies have a really bad team ERA.
04:49So does Philadelphia.
04:50But they're getting better.
04:51And Jesus Lizardo is pitching tonight for the Phillies.
04:54In his last three starts, he's only allowed three earned runs in about 17 in the third inning.
04:58So he dropped his ERA from 7-9-4 to just around five flat.
05:03So he's pitching a lot better.
05:05Beat the Marlins a few days ago down in Miami where he pitched really well.
05:09Struck out 10 in six and a third.
05:11The game before that, he struck out eight against San Francisco.
05:14They won 7-0.
05:15So he's pitching a lot better.
05:17And I like the Phillies to beat the Rockies tonight.
05:21And I'm going to lay the run in a half.
05:23I believe it's plus 105.
05:26I thought about playing just the regular money line, but they're minus 200.
05:29And just to make the payoff a little bit better, I'll go Philly laying the run in a half plus
05:36105 against the Rockies.
05:39So if you want to fade it, you play the Rockies plus the one and a half.
05:43So we go behind the glass.
05:44I don't know.
05:44Does Chris have a pick?
05:46Chris, you want to get in?
05:48You don't have to.
05:49I don't know if he's prepared.
05:50He's not prepared.
05:52I mean, I haven't even looked at the odds for what we're doing.
05:54So you're out.
05:54You're out.
05:55You're out.
05:55All right.
05:55Let's go to Drabby.
05:56Then we'll leave the final pick to Mar.
05:59All right.
06:01Let's go to the first NBA game tonight.
06:04Knicks at the arena formerly known as the Wells Fargo Center.
06:10Knicks have been just super impressive in game two.
06:13Blew them out.
06:14Embiid was out for game two.
06:17Questionable for game three.
06:18I don't think it even really matters that much.
06:22I think the Sixers can win without Embiid.
06:24Sometimes they play a lot better without him.
06:26They were close to doing it in game two.
06:27And Maxie has to play a lot better.
06:31And I think he'll have a bounce back game.
06:33I just don't see the Knicks winning six playoff games in a row.
06:37I think they got to have an off night here.
06:40And I like them.
06:41Philly's a slight favorite.
06:42They are favorites.
06:43The Sixers are a slight favorite tonight at minus 120.
06:46So we'll take the Sixers to win game three against the Knicks to end their streak
06:51and to make that series 2-1.
06:54So I'll take the Sixers minus 120 if you want to fade Drab.
06:57Go for it.
06:58Knicks plus 102.
07:00All right.
07:01And that leaves Mike Marr.
07:03Now, every listener out there, I dare you to take the opposite of this play.
07:07And if you take the opposite, you must not like money.
07:11Tomorrow night, Avalanche against the Wild game three.
07:14Give me the Avalanche money line.
07:16Minus 125.
07:18They've dominated the first two games of this series.
07:20They scored nine goals and five goals.
07:23And they're 6-0 in the playoffs so far.
07:27They're favorites to win the Stanley Cup.
07:29Do you even watch hockey?
07:30I know a little bit about everything.
07:32You do?
07:32A little bit about a lot.
07:33Yeah, I've been watching a little bit.
07:34I know they're undefeated in the playoffs.
07:36They're favorites to win the Stanley Cup.
07:37Nathan McKinnon, Kale McCarr, the two best players on the Avalanche.
07:40There's some savages.
07:41And also, Black Diamond Mike, I call us Avalanches.
07:44So I know a thing or two about those Avs.
07:47So yeah, if you like money, take the Avs.
07:50If you don't like money, fade me.
07:52I dare everyone to fade me.
07:53Take the Wild.
07:54It's the lock.
07:55Did we all take favorites?
07:57No.
07:58I did not.
07:58You did not.
07:59Okay, so the payout can't be that good.
08:01Well, we took favorite in the actual money line, yeah, but plus money on the actual bet.
08:06So what's the payout?
08:07Payout's got to be nubs for this one.
08:08It is a nubs payout, but we just got to get on the board.
08:11All right, Jason and I, we're doing the Philly special.
08:15I like the Sixers' money line.
08:17Jason likes the Phillies' run line.
08:19Yep.
08:21Mar, as you just heard, loves the Avalanche tonight.
08:23He is the Avalanche.
08:25Foster Griffin under four and a half strikeouts for Bickle.
08:29And JP likes the T-Wolves to go up 2-1 against the Spurs.
08:33No, hold on.
08:34You and Jason, what are you guys doing again?
08:36They're just Philadelphia.
08:37The city of Philadelphia.
08:38Don't worry, we picked Philadelphia.
08:39We just like the Phillies and Sixers.
08:41Oh, okay.
08:42Yeah, we're big Philly fans.
08:43All right, okay.
08:45All right.
08:46Hope you weren't a Flyers fan.
08:47So what does a $10 bet pay?
08:49Yeah, what's $10 pay on that?
08:50Five-teamer.
08:52Five-team, $10 parlay.
08:54Pays out.
08:55$400.
08:57$323.
08:58Hey, we need to get on the board.
09:00Yes, we need a dub.
09:01We got two games tonight in the NBA.
09:04It's like when Ted Turner became the manager after 16 straight losses.
09:07You just got to do something to shake it up.
09:09All right.
09:10All right.
09:10Let's get on the board.
09:11What if we all hit like four games or today, right?
09:15If all four of us hit and everything's on Colorado.
09:18I love that.
09:19I want that.
09:21I hope that happens.
09:22Well, Mike will be down at the beach watching that game.
09:24Yeah, I'll be at the Starbird with Monty.
09:26I was actually shot him a text yesterday.
09:28Get some orange crushes and we'll be celebrating the Avs win.
09:31Are you actually in touch with Monty?
09:33Yeah, Cakes gave me his number.
09:34It's hilarious.
09:35He's like, who's this kid?
09:37That's so great.
09:38I love it.
09:38I got to do the recon work for us.
09:40Yeah, okay.
09:40I don't know when the last time you guys were there, so I'll come back.
09:43You know, I'll explain.
09:43Send us a couple pics.
09:44I got you.
09:45Will you?
09:45Yeah.
09:46The Airbnb I got is like half a mile away from the Starbird.
09:48You're perfect.
09:49I mean, everything's right there.
09:51The stars are aligning.
09:52All right.
09:52So our weekend parlays in.
09:54I'll put it up on social media.
09:55Follow us on Instagram, Sports Junkies Radio.
09:58I'll put it up on Twitter as well, at Junkies Radio.
