SAFE with AM in the am

Giants win again, 2 in a row!  M is home late from work, so it's a short one today.  The usual quick recap of last night's win, a review of the SBOD, and then it's right into tonight's matchup and game.  Since M didn't have time to do too much research, he tosses out some game predictions before discussing his leans and then finally settling on today's Safe Bet of the...

What a crazy Giants win yesterday!  M spends a little time recapping that roller coaster ride before moving on to tonight's game in LA.  The pitching matchup changed from yesterday's projections so a quick look at the new pitcher for the Dodgers leads to a change in game prediction.  Finally, after reevaluating the numbers, M finds a Safe Bet of the Day™ that he particularly likes, which...

Giants lose an ugly one.  Offense, defense, pitching--all bad.  But it's Mother's Day today, time to think of flowers and chocolate and thank you's, so it doesn't take long to review last night's loss and move on to this afternoon's game. A quick review of the pitcher's numbers leads to a discussion of today's odds.  They don't look good, but thanks to...

Giants win! SBOD hits. Let's keep it going.  The usual quick recap of last night's game leads to a fairly quick look at Braxton Ashcraft who is on the mound for the Pirates tonight. He faces Landon Roupp in what should be a pitchers dual.  That thought leads to a look at the numbers and the task of finding today's Safe Bet of the Day™.  Wednesday's walk to Oracle Park reminded...

Still shocked that the Giants lost a game he attended, M recaps Wednesday's  game before moving on to tonight's against Pittsburg-- Ray back on the mound for the good guys facing Carmen Mlodzinski for the Pirates.  He switches gears and inserts today's song of the day, "Echoes of Velo" by the Slick Kruger's, earlier than usual so he can get to the SBOD update.  After...

It's a short one today because I'm heading to Oracle. A very quick recap of last night's loss, then a brief look at today's matchup, which is followed by a very homerish Safe Bet of the Day™.  Todays' song is by Sabrina Carpenter called "Looking at Me". You can look at me in sec. 304.  I'm off.  Go Gigantes! Send us Fan Mail

Giants win!  Back after 2 days off, M finally has a win to talk about.  And how about that new blood, especially Trevor McDonald on the mound? All good stuff, but it's quickly on to tonight's game with Webb facing the familiar Walker Buelher.  After a brief look at the matchup, M tosses out today's Safe Bet of the Day™. In honor of Cinco de Mayo, the song of the day is a favorite by...

Giants lose, another shutout, give Ray no help. (At least the SBOD hit.) After a quick recap of last night, M does a brief analysis of tonight's matchup between one of his favorite Giants pitchers facing an opener and a long reliever.  That leads to a game prediction and today's Safe Bet of the Day™, which was limited because of the Rays pitching situation.  He then has to apologize for...

After the rainout on Wednesday and the double header yesterday, everything seems out of sorts (kind of like this season for the Giants).  M spends a minute discussing the leadup to two terrible losses by the Giants yesterday and the late game frustrations once again.  Then it's on to tonight's game against Tampa Bay who have been playing really good ball lately.  He goes over some number...

No singing to start off this episode after an ugly Giants loss. A quick recap of last night's game and then it's on to today's which showcases Christopher Sanchez, who the Giants faced earlier this year, and Webb on the mound.  They both have good numbers and that makes it tough to come up with a call for today.  Even though he doesn't sound too enthusiastic about it, M finally...

Giants win on Sunday! M reviews the last Giants win and Landon Roupp's impressive outing.  Then it's on to today's matchup with the Phillies in PA.  Is Jesus Luzardo as bad as his ERA? Is Tyler Mahle as good as his last start? Probably no and no.  A quick look at some numbers leads to a brief thought about how the game will go. And that leads to a look at the odds and a few ideas ab...

Attitude change after yesterday's win. SBOD somehow hits.  Good game all around.  Can the Giants keep it going today?  That's what M is hoping as he breaks down today's pitching matchup.  After looking at the odds, he is led to a unique  Safe Bet of the Day™, a first for the podcast.  He finishes with today's song, "uh huh, i like it" by .wavrunner., which you will be...

Apologies for yesterday's terrible recording, and a warning that today's might be the same. M starts off with a recap of the laugher that was last night's game and yesterday's SBOD.  They were both over early, but there were some bright spots--11 hits, 4 runs, bullpen. Next he takes a look at today's matchup between Ray and Perez.  That leads to a bit of a game prediction...

Giants can't pull off the sweep, but a series win against the Dodgers is always good.  For tonight's game, M looks at the Marlins in general and the pitching matchup in particular. Some interesting stats about the start to the Marlins season and a look at Sandy Alcantara's numbers lead to a quick analysis of today's odds.  Form there it's a short walk to today's Safe...

Giants win again against rival Dodgers!  M goes over the unlikely heroes that were Tyler Mahle and Patrick Bailey in last night's game.  He then moves on to this afternoon's game by focusing on the pitching matchup. Finally, reviewing the various odds leads to an explanation for today's Safe Bet of the Day™, a somewhat counterintuitive, rare strikeout wager. He finishes off with tod...

Everything goes as predicted last night and the Giants get the first in Dodger series.  After a brief review of that game, M moves to tonight's and explores why this one will probably be different-- Ohtani on the mound vs. Tyler Mahle for starters.  He discusses other differences between the two games before explaining why he's having a rough time digging up a Safe Bet of the Day™ today....

M is back after a couple days off and has lots to catch up on.  First it's a recap of Sat's extra innings win and Sunday's shut out loss. Then he moves on to some general Dodgers info (it's not good) before addressing tonight's excellent pitching matchup between Yamamoto and Roupp.  He discusses the difficulty of coming up with SBOD's when the Giants are losing games....

It's early!  M gets in a quick recap of back to back Giants wins before moving on to today's game and the pitching matchup.  Since there will be no pod tomorrow he touches on that game and then reminds us the Dodgers are next up.  He fits a Safe Bet of the Day™ in there somewhere and even pulls a Nostradamus and gives out one for tomorrow, even though the lines aren't out yet.   Sen...

Always more refreshing to come on after a Giants win.  M quickly reviews Roupp's effort and the bullpen's finish to shut out the Reds. Then he moves on to the surprisingly potent offense of the Giants' next opponent, the Nationals.  Webb and the bullpen will have their hands full with this lineup.  But the Giants should be able to keep pace given the Nats pitching woes thus far.  Sh...

M plays his recording of "another frustrating Giants loss".  He discusses why the lack of walks and HR's is really hurting the Giants scoring opportunities.  Quickly, he moves on to today's game and pitching matchup.  After admitting his man crush on a couple Giants pitchers he is led, surprisingly, to a Safe Bet of the Day™ that he actually likes.   Send us Fan Mail

M predicts quiet Giants bats get louder in tonight's game. After a brief recap of yesterday's tough loss, he delves into tonight's pitching matchup and why he thinks, counterintuitively, that the Giants will score runs tonight and actually win.  That leads him to the odds and an explanation for today's Safe Bet of the Day™.  Yes, it all sounds a little crazy, but that's ba...

Aidan is back again with his usual insights into the numbers and analytics of tonight's matchup.  He does a great job reviewing Brady Singer's stats and debating just how much stock to put into the small sample size from this year.  He also talks about a couple new pitching stats he's interested in following throughout the year to try and determine if they might be prescriptive or n...

After the quickest of recaps of last night's loss, M moves on to today's early game.  He spends a bit of time on the young lefty going for the O's, Cade Povich, and a little less time on the Giants' Houser.  He admits he has little clarity on the direction of this game and that leads him to an unusual first for the Safe Bet of the Day™.  There is a rumor that Aidan may be makin...

Aidan makes a 2nd appearance in a row!  That alone should intrigue you.  He begins by recapping last night's Giants and SBOD wins. He follows that with his expert analysis on tonight's pitching matchup between Logan Webb and Chris Bassitt.  That leads to 3 possible picks he likes for today.  M comes on and adds a few touches, though admittedly Aidan has already done the heavy lifting. M...

Aidan is Back!!  M begins by revisiting both Tuesday's game, which the last pod was about, and Wednesday's, which he attended and helped the Giants  secure a 5-0 victory.  He then moves on to tonight's game in Baltimore, looking over some general team statistics before moving on to tonight's pitching matchup.  He is tilting because of the similarities in both hitting and pitchi...
