Summary

I take some time to explain the scheduling nightmare MLB has put themselves in with respect to the Mets and Braves having the ability to trade wins to guarantee both of them will make the playoffs, Jayden Daniels taking the early NFL news cycle by storm, as well as the massive NBA trade that snuck in under the radar until it was announced between the Knicks and Timberwolves.

Welcome to the Fantasy Throw Down Podcast, bringing you the latest from the world of sports,

0:08.0

DFS and gambling. With over five years of hot tags and millions of downloads later, I guess he's been doing something right.

0:18.0

Now, sit back and listen to one of the sharpest minds in the game.

0:23.5

Here's your host, Duwain calendar.

0:26.8

All right, let's get into it, folks.

0:31.9

It is early on a Monday, but we got to talk through quite a bit of nonsense that went on over the weekend.

0:39.0

So, first of all, we have the Carl Anthony Town's trade to the Nix where on the surface

0:47.4

level the Nix have improved on a grander scale I think it speaks to just what the NBA has kind of devolved into in the sorts.

0:59.8

So we'll talk about that.

1:01.6

But first let's get into baseball and the debacle we have today

1:07.0

wherein we still don't know after 162 games played by all but two teams who's going into the post season on the end outside because of

1:56.3

But because the Braves and the Mets, whoever wins game one, will have clench the post-season spot.

2:01.6

There is absolutely zero incentive to play your starters for game two.

2:07.0

So you're going to be left in a situation where you have bench players playing that second game of the double-headed. the to avoid a scenario like this because realistically you can't blame the Braves or Mets

2:27.8

for playing backups when in a wild card series they need every man available in a short three game series.

2:35.0

It doesn't make any sense.

2:37.0
