I am the channel manager for Locked On MLB. Joining me here today is Jeremiah Guyer from Locked On Marlins, one half of Locked On Guardians and Justin Lada and of course the ineitable. The inevitable I’m making up words at this point. Sully is here from Lockdown MLB and we are going to tell you all about our predictions for the World Series and why they are probably exactly right. So, make sure you listen in because it feels like the Dodgers have been off for a month as it took seven games to figure out the ALCS and now we know it’s the Toronto Blue Jays that will oppose them. And that is going to be quite the matchup because it feels as though these Blue Jays have just got it all figured out. Right. Right. That’s all coming up on today’s squad show.

And also joining us now is also Boon from Locked on Ace. And guys, as we look at this World Series, it’s obviously going to be the Dodgers and they’re probably going to win in like four games, right? Cuz I mean, obviously, they’re ruining baseball and and we have to have this story, you know, come to an end, right? It’s got to be their ruination has to be final, correct? No. And and I I I really can’t uh I can’t understand like I’m I live here in LA County and everyone’s just the only question they’re asking here is will there be a three repeat and all my people who who are big Yankee fans and everything around the or or A’s fans or whatever teams from around the country have been texting me said do the Blue Jays have a shot or is this just going to be in sweep? I’m going like have I been watching a different team? First of all, uh the Blue Jays have homefield advantage. Granted, so did Milwaukee, but we’ve seen that the Blue Jays can hit with anybody. and all and believe me, I did a whole apologies episode because everyone has been underestimating the Blue Jays the entire year and they’re in the World Series and they did so in a dramatic fashion and and they’re probably not going to throw to the wrong base uh to end a series. They’re probably gonna score more than four runs the entire series like Milwaukee did. Um I I don’t understand why people are acting like this is the they’re the Washington Generals. Uh I mean to your point like Ernie Clement had more hits in the ALCS than the Brewers did as a team in the NLCS. There was a period there was a there was a period of time in the game four which I attended where Shi Otani had as many home runs in that game as the Brewers had runs in their entire series. Um that’s not going to happen with the with the the the Toronto Blue Jays. I just I don’t understand why people are acting like this is just a complete mismatch. Can we also stop pretending that this whole thing is ruining baseball too? I mean, I know there’s there Okay, I is is there a financial disparity issue? Absolutely. There is a disparity issue that needs to be addressed. I don’t have the answers for it. Otherwise, Rob Manfred might hire me and I might, you know, tell him to go kiss off because I don’t want to work for Rob Manfred. But the Blue Jays are what, fifth in payroll? Like they’re still a big market payroll team. Big market in our country. They have a whole country. Exactly. Canada. Canada. I don’t know. I don’t know what the exchange rate is these days, but I’m pretty sure they’re still paying a good amount of money. They still kept Vladimir Guerrero Jr. for a boatload of of uh Frank Quas. And they they were able to sign George Springer. They were able to sign Kevin Gau, right? They still made Jeff Hoffman who, you know, wasn’t that good. So, let’s not pretend that there’s like this David Goliath thing here that’s going on. The Blues have a huge payroll. If you spend, you get in and that increases your odds of not screwing up in the postseason unless you throw to the wrong base as Sully said. But this is not killing baseball. There’s a whole different issue here. But the Blue Jays are also a top five spending team. So this is not like a again this is not a David Goliath situation. Well, and to your point too, like I don’t know if if everybody’s seen that whole Forbes thing that uh I think it was Brooksgate posted on Twitter was mentioning that, you know, so many teams have spent 50% or less of their revenue on their payroll. To uh the Blue Jays credit, they’re one of the teams that actually outspend their ranking as far as where their revenue and where their payroll is. So, they’ve really worked at this. I mean, when you look at it, Boon, do you feel as though it’s just going to be an easy walkthrough for the Dodgers, or is this do you think the Blue Jays have a shot? I’m with Sully on it. I think the Blue Jays have an extremely good shot. Um, one thing that didn’t get exposed in the Brewers Dodgers series because the Dodgers starting pitching was so darn good and went so damn deep was the bullpin. And I think the Brewers hitting from top to bottom is going to shorten that outing from five to six innings rather than in the Brewer series going from seven to eight. And I think that’s a big deal. The Brewers are good. They’re really, really good. And I think they’re going to surprise a lot of people. Blue Jays. Maybe not surprise a lot of people. Meet the Blue Jays. Brewers would be very surprising if they were still playing. I would be pretty insight. It’s clear Boon really I’m gonna go to FanDuel and put my money on the Brewers in the World Series. Brewers Mariners is going to be a hell of a series. Uh but yeah, no, I mean Jeremiah like the bullpen of it all. I have said that since the wild card. I said that in the DS. I thought that the bullpen was going to be the Achilles heel of the Dodgers and it just never seems like they even get to the bullpen. Yeah. As good as their starting pitching has been. Well, quickly too about the payroll issue and killing baseball. How about the Mets with the second biggest payroll? They didn’t even make the playoffs courtesy of your Miami Marlins, by the way, and the Cincinnati Reds. Thank you very much. But I think the Blue Jays have an excellent shot. Their offense is incredible. I mean, they can hit when they get hot, they’re going to hit homers in boatloads. And the Dodgers starting rotation has their work cut out. Do they have a really good rotation? Yeah, obviously. But that rotation doesn’t go through a whole season unscathed. They’re not going to go through, I don’t believe, the World Series unscathed. So, I think the Blue Jays have to start off on the right foot. They got the home field advantage. If they come out flat, then yeah, the Dodgers are going to have all the momentum going back to LA. But don’t get it twisted. This Blue Jays offense is legit. It’s why they’re in the World Series. Two things. thought that the Dodgers or the Mariners had a better chance to beat the Dodgers in the World Series, but now I’ve kind of changed my mind because the Blue Jays are a more complete team. The Mariners were a terrible defensive team this year. They didn’t run the bases well. The Blue Jays don’t have defensive issues. In fact, they have a lot of exguardians on their team because they play good defense. I And now, make no mistake about it, I’m rooting for the Guardians of the North to win this the whole thing somehow. but to stop him from ruining baseball obviously, but because they have Vlad Guerrero and they have Alejandro Kirk and they have Daltton Vo and Bobette should be able to come back for them because they have George Springer, they can make it work where they have a Jimenez and a Straw and a Clement. A Clement obviously had a great CS. They are a more complete team than the Mariners were. Their bullpen I thought would be all an issue for them, but I think their manager has it figured out. Like there’s a lot of talk about relievers this year and the third time a team has seen a reliever in a series. He’s mixed it up really well. They have a good rotation. If they can get into the Dodgers bullpen, which I know is hard, I think I they’re right. I think Jeremiah’s right. They could absolutely do it. And and I think they have a shot. Dodgers right now are minus 215. That’s the odds. 215. 215 to win a 100. The highest of all time was the A’s over the Reds in 91. That was minus 90. Excuse me. How’ that work out? 300. Not very good. That’s 330 years ago yesterday. That 35 years ago yesterday. That’s sweeping. A couple of two a couple of tiny things. These three tiny things could have gone one way or the other. And we’re not looking at LA. Uh Freddy Freeman picks up a ball in the dirt thrown by Tommy Edmund in game two against Philadelphia. That was a do middle of a Dodger bullpen meltdown. And if that if he doesn’t scoop that ball out, the game is tied. Okay. Uh Bryce Terang gets his leg out of the way of an inside pitch with the bases loaded with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning. That ball hits him, it’s a blown save. And of course, if Orion Kekering remembers that there’s two outs and doesn’t throw the ball to Mary Hart, then you know that in that game’s going into extra going to the next, who knows what Philadelphia does. One of the shocking things about Milwaukee was they played so not the type of baseball we saw all year long. They made errors, but most importantly, they were swinging early. They were trying to they were swinging first pitch which allowed them to have Blake Snell do something that Kevin Cash couldn’t even imagine which was pitch eight innings or to allow Yamamoto to say hey I have an idea what to do with our our bullpen. We’ll have him throw a complete we’ll have him throw a complete game but try and stinks and he and he let up runs against Philadelphia. He surprised the only run he let up in game uh they let up in game four the the Otani game. Surprise. It was off of Trinan. He nearly blew the save in game one. If the ball hit his leg then boom. Um you those couple of dumb moves by the other team. If Toronto doesn’t play dumb baseball, I think they they have a shot. Do I think it’s easy? Do I think they’re going to pull the Cincinnati Reds in 1990 and sweep them? No. But I do not understand that people were acting like this is this is a oh it’s just seeing who’s gonna beat who’s gonna the Dodgers are gonna beat. They don’t even have homefield advantage. So like Sully says the Dodgers are lucky. Now I do find an interesting prop bet here coming up next that I want to dive into because it does have to do with the Dodgers and their starting pitching. Let’s be real, making excuses doesn’t solve anything. We’ve all heard them before. It’s just stress. I’m tired. Or it happens to everyone sometimes.

So, I saw this interesting thing and it has to do with the starting pitching obviously unless a relief pitcher comes in and does that and I would be surprised. There’s a prop for any starting pitcher to have 12 or more strikeouts in a game on this World Series and the odds on that are plus 350. That kind of feels like the Dodgers will hit that. Or will it be Kevin Gosman? I don’t know. But are do we see the Dodger starting pitchers going long enough into World Series games to accomplish such a feat? That is not happening because the Blue Jays were one of the teams that have struck out the least in the postseason. Now the Dodgers have struck out their rotation has struck out the most batters. But I’m going to say the Blue Jays lineup has enough power hitters to grant out at bats, enough contact hitters for balance. But that’s not going to happen. But I’m just glad the prop bet isn’t if the pitcher is going to throw a ball on his first pitch. Honestly, I think yeah, you would you would have some some knowledge of of that one. Unfortunately, it it’s clear though that the power is a big thing. And I mean, we we’ve seen a lot of home runs really change these playoffs. And I mean, Jeremiah, when you got a guy like Vladimir Guerrero in your lineup, you can play with anybody. Yeah, I think the 12 strikeouts is such an interesting prop bet to me because I could see a guy like Blake Snell go out there and go five and two/3 and 12 strikeouts, but his pitch count so elevated that he leaves the game early. He just has that firepower. You mentioned Gau. Gosman’s one of the most volatile pitchers I can remember being being the ace of the staff because during the regular season he was just so inconsistent. He’d go eight innings one game and then get give up five six earned runs the next game. Um the power for the Blue Jays is the key in this series to me. It it’s if Vlad Guero can continue this just I mean MVP level performance, you know, earning every single dollar of the contract. And I see no why no reason why not to believe this is going to continue. He has the supporting cast. He has the protection in the lineup. We just saw George Springer. Bo Bashett’s gonna be back hopefully for the World Series. So, call me crazy. I really like this Blue Jays team to give the Dodgers starting rotation trouble. I don’t think it’s going to be a walk in the park like it was against Milwaukee. I just don’t I think this Blue Jays team is legit and they’re going to they’re going to hit the ground running. By the way, Jeremiah, I think it’s absurd to think that any manager would take Blake Snell out of a game before the end of the sixth inning. I mean, what kind of parallel universe, especially in the world theory, especially in a do or die where it’s like we got where he’s airing it all out. Why why would any why would anyone in their right mind do that? He will never live that down. That is his Grady little moment. Um, one of the things that I think you’re 100% right and I think that the the strikeout thing is not going to be an issue. This is a contact hitting team. This is a smart team. And yes, Vlatty Guerrero got three home runs. Somehow Andre Himeman has got two home runs which is surreal. He has more postseason home runs than Willie Mays and um you know George Springer hit his three home runs and everything like that. But this is not a Yankees launch angle. We’re just swinging from our heels. This is a smart hitting team. They’ll shorten up their swings and go to right field. They do they do situational baseball. They will squeeze a couple of runs here or there and then get the big honking home run. And that’s one of the you saw them do obviously they did that like crazy against New York but they did that against Seattle as well especially after the first two games. Remember both Milwaukee and Toronto were down 02 going to the other city. Milwaukee never recovered and and Toronto dusted themselves off and you saw that from, you know, when they had the third, what was it, the 13-2 or third, whatever? 13 to four, sorry. They had that game where, you know, they fell behind early. Everyone in Seattle is is throwing their Starbucks in the air. And then, you know, it wasn’t just the Springer home run. It was And it wasn’t just a himz home run. It was single by Lucas, double by Guerrero, you know, walk, you know, Varo gets a hit. Like they up and down the lineup. They just have smart at bats. They grind it out, so they’re going to get to the bullpen faster. And uh heck of hell. I’m saying it’s a Toronto sweep. I don’t think LA has a chance. Interesting. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Okay. Hey, I That is funny to hear though, Andre Simenez has more postseason home runs than Willie Mays. You got to love that. He has more than Willie Mays and Ted Williams combined. That’s an unbelievable stat. I never would have guessed that. And hell Ernie Banks for that matter if you want to throw him in because he never played the postseason. Started Joey Vado. Yeah. You know, start adding up a whole bunch of different guys. Did VTO hit one against the Giants in 20 2012? One. Yeah. But like Okay. Oh, that’s right. He would have more. You’re right. You’re right. My point. But I guess combined because Willie Mays did hit one in the playoffs. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. So that’ll be I I don’t know. Like I find it intriguing this whole series the way that this matchup has fallen. I I just the Dodgers seem to have walted through the NL portion of these playoffs. And we said that the NL was supposed to be the toughest of the two leagues and it felt like the more entertaining series happened on the American League side. Would you agree? Well, I can tell you I went to a hell of an entertaining game at at Dodger Stadium when I saw Show Otani hit three home runs and pitched six shut out in under the entertaining quality. Close maybe closer. I think this I think this postseason has had has had four really or I think five really great games. I think the first game, the the the game where Crochet beat the Yankees at Yankee Stadium was a great game. Obviously, the final game between Seattle and Detroit, that was just an alltime game. Yeah, I thought the Orion Kekering game, and I hate that that’s what it’s called, but that was a really amazing game. The final game between Toronto and Seattle, game seven, was terrific. And then, of course, you have Otani having the greatest individual performance in the history of the postseason. Those are those are five really memorable games that okay, maybe four cuz I’m leaning one that the one Red Sox win, but that was a hell of a game, but okay. Okay, let’s let’s let’s take my bias out of it. You’ve had four really really good games before we get to the World Series. And you know, I think that you they’re evenly distributed between the American League and the National League. I think I was just gonna say I think the reason that you haven’t seen the NLS competitive is because the Dodgers are a veteran team that has turned on the postseason. Normally it’s very dangerous to be a team that and obviously that you know they won enough games to win their division and their division’s not weak by any means but they were not the top seed overall in the playoffs. They didn’t get a first round buy at all, but they’ve turned it on in October. And that’s because they have a group of guys in this team. The Freddy Freeman’s that have been there before. The Mookie Betts is now at Otani there. They have all these guys in this roster that have been there a couple times now throughout their their time with the Dodgers, other teams. They can turn it on in October and that’s what they’ve done. They have moved into October mode. That’s what they’ve been playing for all year. So that’s why I feel like they haven’t had any push back. And I wonder when we get to the first game of the World Series or this series at all, if the Toronto Blue Jays, who have had to kind of fight through the entire postseason, at least they had a first round buy, the two series they’ve played, they’ve had to fight a little bit more tooth and nail. And I wonder if that will make them a little more not motivated, but the Dodgers probably haven’t had as much push back. So I wonder how that plays. Let’s go around the horn and make our predictions coming up next. There’s still time to get in on this great introductory offer over on FanDuel. I know that we’re in the middle of football season and all that stuff, but of course the World Series is starting on Friday night and we’ve got the odds for the series winner. The Dodgers are favored minus 220. No surprise there. You’ve got the odds on the Blue Jays winning at plus 184. It’s interesting because it kind of feels like I’ve been picking against against the Dodgers all postseason and uh I’m I’m just not going to do it. Like kind of feel like minus 220 is hard to put any kind of money on. But I think I’m picking the Dodgers to win this World Series. And if you’ve got a choice, you can go make yours over on FanDuel and new users can place a $5 wager and if it wins, you get $300 in bonus bets. That’s a crazy good offer. Go download that FanDuel app today. Kind of feels like we’re all picking the Blue Jays, huh? I don’t know there, Jeremiah. What do you think? You know, going into this season, a lot of people didn’t think the Blue Jays were a playoff team, much less going to win the division, go to the World Series, and now they face the mighty Dodgers. The best team money can buy. Anything short of a World Series trophy is a failure. And I see the series going one of two ways. The Dodgers put the money where their mouth is and go out and sweep the Blue Jays or win it in five. Or the Blue Jays make this an all-time classic. They win in six or seven. I got the Toronto Blue Jays shocking the world in game seven, slaying the dragon and winning the World Series. I like it. I was told at the beginning of the year that John Schneider needed firing. Uh Sully, I I I can’t remember who said that. I was me and I I I have uh completely uh uh you know apologized to the nation of Canada for insinuating that he needed to be fired. I thought I’d been adamant about it. And you know what? I was wrong. I was wrong about a lot of things about the Toronto Blue Jays. A lot of them. I’ve I’ve underestimated them. Uh, I thought both the Red Sox and the Yankees would clobber them if they faced each other in the in the division series. Um, I didn’t give I thought Seattle was going to get in. Every turn I’ve picked against them. And I look at this and I and I I see last year, look it, the Dodgers deserve the World Series title last year, but they’ve they avoided the Phillies because the Mets took them out. And I thought the Phillies were a deeper team. Last year, the Dodgers had a mess in their starting rotation. You know, when they had Sandy Kofaxer out the first pitch, they asked him, “Could you give us four?” I mean, they had to they scheduled a bullpen game, not a bullpen game because it was an 18 inning game. That was part of the rotation was a bullpen game last year. And Dave Roberts was able to, you know, overpower a a Mets team that was, you know, played a little over their head and and deserved their spot, but they were not in the same league. And a very dumb team in the Yankees. They are Biff Tannon from Back to the Future who bullied their way into the World Series and they earned their pennant last year, but they what was the Sky Report? Put the ball in play. They’re dumb. Um, they faced a Phillies team and a they faced a Reds team who were they made the playoffs and that was their vic. I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Jeff. That was their victory and and they was they did a terrific job. Um, but they didn’t have a prayer. Um, and then they beat a Phillies team that played tight that played super tight in all three of their losses and a Brewers team that played tight. If Toronto doesn’t play tight, they’re not a dumb team. They have a terrific lineup and down. The Dodgers have the advantage in the rotation, but Toronto has the advantage in the bullpen and they have the smart contact hitters who get into that bullpen. That is why I am picking the Dodgers and six. I like it. Justin, your thoughts? I I have to go. I think Jeremiah and and Sully summed it up pretty well, actually. I didn’t think the Blue Jays had a shot to start the year either. I thought a lot of those people were going to be fired, especially all the ex Clevelanders that are up there. We’re going to be looking for for new jobs. I didn’t think they’re going to keep Vlad Guerrero either. Um the bullpen to me isn’t as big a mismatch. Like obviously the Dodgers bullpen is a dumpster fire but the Blue Jays bullpen isn’t so good that it’s just like you know SN so many paces above them so I don’t think it really cancels out as much as we think it does and there’s just no breaks in that Dodgers lineup like you’re facing show Otani to lead off the game. You’re going to Mookie Betts and you got to face Freddy Freeman and what Tasker Hernandez has been terrible for a while now. I don’t know what he’s in the postseason but he’s going to heat up again. I’m pretty sure they’re hitting ders in the postseason. Yeah. Yeah. though. And you think he doesn’t want revenge in Toronto? Like he was there for a little bit, too. And and they didn’t resign him. I I think the deeper this series goes, the Blue Jays do have a better shot to win, but the Dodgers, like I said, there’s no breaks in that lineup. The rotation has just been too good in the postseason. I think there’s too many spots in the lineup for the for the Blue Jays that are easier to navigate through. So, I’m going to say Dodgers in five, unfortunately. I man I I I love everything that the Blue Jays have put together and I’ve been I was really impressed and you know that was Forb’s reporting on the revenue and all that other stuff that’s not like public reporting because nobody makes the revenue public but Forb says that according to the revenue the Blue Jays are actually lower on the list than they are on the payroll list. They’re actually a lot higher on how much they spend on payroll. So, I admire the heck out of that. In a day and age when it seems like, you know, we’ve got the teams like the Cubs that are really not trying to spend their revenue at all. I I I think it would be easy for Toronto to pack that in. But I think there’s something to, like you said, the whole idea of keeping Vlad. That being said, I think the Dodgers win in five. I just think they’re inevitable. I think this is this is Thanos before uh before Infinity War, not Thanos before um um Endgame. So, I I think that ultimately they’re just going to end up and win this thing. And then we are going to go into an off season with nothing but uh absolutely good feelings amongst the teams and the players and the owners and all that good stuff as we head into the final year of this. You know, and I’ll say this, the the villains in baseball are not the the the Mets nor the Dodgers in my opinion. And I think, and I said this in a podcast during the All-Star break, which was I think it’s absurd that we’re even thinking about a labor stoppage because it is nothing to do with owners versus players. The players gave up a lot in the last time. They g they have a revenue tax. They have there’s a luxury tax threshold. There’s uh you know there’s revenue sharing. What this is, it’s 28 owners versus two owners. It’s 28 owners saying, “Okay, we’re going to live by this revenue sharing.” And the Mets and the Dodgers said, “We don’t care. We’re just going to do whatever we want and we’ll pay the tax. You know, here’s our blank check. We don’t care.” And so it’s to say we’re going to have a labor stoppage. It’s it’s just you get your house in order. And the when you have a team like the Pirates who now are going to go into year three of Paul Skins who have that that there’s really only what six maybe seven legitimate aces when Cole comes back and the Pirates have one of them and you can’t put a mediocre team around him. You’re going to be in the you know you have control. You the the gods have forged an ace and placed them in your hands and now you’re going to go into year three. You have first year, okay, fine. It’s a surprise. Second year, there’s no excuse that you don’t have a major league team around them. Next year, if they don’t, they’re the problem. And there should be, forget a salary cap that no one can show me evidence that salary caps would create more parody. How much more parody do you want in baseball with a number of repeat championships don’t exist? We’ve had every team win at least one playoff game since you know what since 2010. Is that what I mean? It’s series one game win in that time cuz I don’t know what they do. Who? The Angels. They lost the Royals in 2015. I don’t know. Okay. So, the last time the Angels won a playoff game was 09. But we know that’s a small market. I mean, this talk about team that’s ruining baseball. They had Otani and Trout and they couldn’t they couldn’t make they could have reached 500. Yeah, that’s baseball. A salary floor and some sort of accountability of revenue sharing. If you’re taking the revenue sharing and you’re pocketing it, you’re the problem in B. There has to be accounting. I said this when we got our relief money because we had the the huge fires here in Pasadena in January and and the schools because a couple of schools in our district burnt down. We got relief money for our classroom. You know, it was like 500 some odd. It was 500 dollars and we had to account for every dollar that we received. This is how we spent it on our classroom. We had to spend all 500, but we had to show I wasn’t go to Starbucks. This goes to this thing. These go to the pens. This goes for a wagon that we need to bring supplies in our classroom. We need to do that. And there has to be a public uh audit. Here’s the revenue sharing. How did you put that into either resigning your players, international free agents, or acquiring new players? And if a dime of that isn’t going to those three things, guess what? You have to give it all back. I like that because then you’re also I mean, especially teams that have public money for stadiums, like there’s there’s absolutely no reason for that stuff to be hidden from the public at that point. So I lose their lose their share of revenue sharing because of that. I think they were they were threatened to they were I think that was like a threat but I don’t think that actually happened because I I remember that being like something with the coliseum and and now it’s it’s all different. I know Sully you know a lot more about that than I do but I remember that whole they had to spend so much on their salary this year. Yeah. or they would lose the revenue sharing and that’s why they end up with Luis Severino who loves weird how that worked. They were threatened with that and all of a sudden they started spending. Maybe Rob Manford should follow through on that a little bit more. Yeah, I think so. I think so. And I think that’s a great spot to end it. So looking forward to this World Series and of course the offseason as well. We’re so got you all covered here on lockdown mob and with locked on guardians, locked on Marlins, locked on A’s and locked on reds and all of your favorite teams in between because we are all part of the locked on podcast network.
