| 0:00.0 | The numbers told the story they always do. |
| 0:03.3 | It's one of those idiots who believe in analytics. This is a numbers game with Gil Alexander on V-Sin. Hour number two. The man said, right here on the numbers game at Vista, the SportsBaddy Network, Feecent.com, Game Plus, Ihard Radio, YouTube TV, Sirius XM Channel 158, Gil Alexander. My little buddy, Kelly Billy. Hey-oh. |
| 0:22.3 | We didn't, |
| 0:22.7 | you know, we didn't update. |
| 0:24.1 | We didn't update, by the way, match points in the Akama. We didn't update the May wins. Most wins, haven't brought this up yet today. Mariners got a, they won the series for the best team in baseball. They won two out of three from the Braves, so they ain't dead yet. But the Rays and Cubs, six and O out of the gate. Bro. Look at the Cubs run differential, plus 10, 6 and 0 plus 10. Okay, so I was blown away when we went over some of those Cubs numbers from yesterday. But then, like, I don't know how many off seasons I can sit through where someone's going to tell me the raise are going to be meh or bad. They're just good again. Like, how are they good, Gil? Why are they just good? Like, every year it feels like. I don't know. I really don't know. I don't think it's sustainable. I don't think it's sustainable. No, no, I'm just, I'm glad you had that answer. It feels like it's Groundhog Day every year with it. I could go through a very deep dive fan graphs explanation. But I don't know. I really don't. I do think the Yankees at 5 and 1 plus 27. I mean, to me, they're the best team in baseball. Philly's, though, great bounce back |
| 1:29.1 | month so far, five and one. And the Royals who swept our meritors to begin this month. |
| 1:34.2 | They're five and one with a plus nine run differential. Mets on the bounce back, right? |
| 1:39.1 | Phillies and Mets who sucked it up until May looking good. Look at the the Buccos, the pirates, four and one. |
| 1:46.5 | Paul Skeens was flirting with a little no-no and perfect game there for a while last night. |
| 1:51.8 | Gave up two hits and all. |
| 1:54.0 | And there are the Braves and there are the Red Sox. |
| 1:55.9 | Red Sox, how about that? |
| 1:56.7 | A little bit of bounce back from them in the early going here in May. |
| 1:59.0 | So all those teams doing very nicely to begin baseball second month, second month in full anyway. But how about the raisin cups? It's incredible, man. What were the, you know what? You know what I'm going to do as we do this on the fly? What were their odds before this? Yeah, you check it out. I'll wrap up our NBA conversation for a for a minute here |
| 2:20.1 | i did just make a bet with all due respect to the great zach Cohen and i do mean with all due |
| 2:24.6 | respect is uh him were you apo yeah he and jvt were i they were all over timber wolves before the |
| 2:30.6 | series i was kind of me a little more on the spur side wasn't going to run and make that play. I think after game one, I mean, you heard Zach talk about cashing already a couple of bets. Look, this game three lines seems fair. Three and a half, Spurs side. Going back to Minnesota, yeah, I'm at least a bit of a believer in zigzag theory, for sure. |
| 2:53.1 | But you still got limited Edwards. You still got limited I-O out there. Definitely lean Spurs, |
| 2:58.7 | as we talked about early. And then, boy, the market can make Kelly make moves. And it is, |
| 3:04.0 | I am seeing fours and four and a halfs here this morning, quickly ticking up San Antonio away. So I just fired into three and a half, was one left here at stations in town. So you took the Spurs, you laid the three and a half. Laid the three and a half with the Spurs for game three. Back to the MLB, May season wins. Pre-flop at Caesar's William Hill, where remember it's a dead heat if there's a tie, the Cubs were 13 to 1 pre-flop. |
| 3:27.0 | The Tampa Bay Rays were 35 to 1. |
| 3:31.0 | And at Circa, where they have tiebreakers, fewest losses, pardon me, followed by run differential. |
