What Thursday Thunder betting picks does the show open with?
That's right. It's Thursday Thunder, and it's presented by DraftKings Sports. DraftKings, the crown is yours. And we got a good one today. I will be delivering jujus. These are not my picks, so you can feel safe betting this. Not my picks. I'm terrible at this. Parlay, three-game parlay. We're going to go to MLB because what else do we got to bet on right now? Major League Baseball, the Cardinals. They got Michael McGreevy. Apparently, he's on fire on the mound. Juju's going with him to win against the Diamondbacks. Four straight good starts for him. The Tigers have Troy Melton. on the bump. That kid's a stud. Going against the Royals. He's got the Tigers to win that game. And the third leg of our parlay, Tyler Tolbert under hits, runs, RBIs.
Under a half of hits, runs, and RBIs. This guy apparently a month ago reached base like 12 straight games, and now he can't get on base.
Which MLB parlay legs do they recommend and why?
12 straight.
times 12 straight plate appearance much more impressive than it was the record it was it tied the major league record and yet now he has been absolutely dreadful so i like taking the under there we got a plus 35 plus 335 parlay cardinals tigers tyler tolbert under
Zaz, it makes me think of a situation that I brought up to the show a couple of years ago, and I want to get your take on it. So imagine a baseball player who goes one for four for every game in his career in a 10-year career. Does he make the Hall of Fame?
Well, yeah, because he would have a consecutive hit streak. You know, he would pass DiMaggio. He would crush DiMaggio. But he only bats 250. But DiMaggio only did it in 56 games. Every time there's a game, he gets a hit. You're talking about like 1,100 plus hit streak.
It's the greatest achievement in the history. 100% a Hall of Famer. Not even just sports.
The world. But he only hits singles. He has no RBIs. Do you realize how high a 250 batting average is today? Today, yeah.
If you get a hit every game of your 10-year career, you're a Hall of Famer. It's going to be like Good Morning America. Michael Strahan is going to be like, he did it again.
I agree. That's why I brought it up. Does he walk at all? He did it again. Doesn't get walked. He goes one for four with a single. One for four with a single.
Every single game. His OPS would be absolutely dreadful.
All his advanced analytics would be terrible.
He'd be one of the worst hitters in baseball.
Kelly Clarkson's opening up every show with it.
Yep.
It becomes a global sensation. At what point does it just become boring? No, it's remarkably impressive.
There's going to be a couple 0 for 3s in there like, oh my God, the world as we know it is about to change forever.
They're breaking in live to college football. He would definitely get invited on the Jennifer Hudson show and do the tunnel. Do the tunnel. Yeah, once he got to 57. And that's what they would chant. 250s on the show today. 250s on the show.
57 would be the first 57 games of the year. It would be just like boom, boom, boom. And then 58. How long do you do it after 58?
Depends on the team. He'd be dating celebrities, never paying for a meal.
How does the hosts' Hall of Fame thought experiment about a 1-for-4 hitter play out?
Never gets to 3,000 hits, though.
No home runs.
Pineapple juice. A lot of pineapple juice.
He doesn't get to 3,000 hits? No, because he plays 10 years. He's 162 hits a season. He's only playing 10 years. Right. He gets 1,600 hits.
Wait, he's only playing 10? Yeah. Why wouldn't he? Wait. He walks away from the game. He's going to walk away from the game. Yeah. Because certainly there's going to be a team like, let's get the guy that gets a base hit every game.
A 1,600 game hit streak.
Yeah, that's the only thing he has.
It's probably the greatest feat in the history of sports.
This is basically a really extreme version of, do you want Luis Arias? because teams every year are trading this guy away, even though he's always at the top of the league in batting average, but it's because he doesn't hit a lot of home runs. He is a little bit this year. He's a guy that Dan's Rays might be aggressive and go get. Also rumored to go after Tarek Skubal. We're going to do a live show, a Game 1 of the World Series in Tampa for Dan.
