With Rolsey stateside on holiday (we’ll try to catch him later this week, mid-pilgrimage to St. Louis), Spoon and Eric break down the first bomb of trade season — Rafael Devers is a Giant. Shohei Ohtani returns to the mound, and the Jays vs. D-Backs series is quietly one of the juiciest matchups of the week. The also boys chat about just how clogged the NL Wild Card race is. Who’s going to buy? Who’s going to panic? It’s all heating up. Spoon then takes us through The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, and wraps with his best bets heading into the week.

D-Backs Déjà Vu, White Sox Ownership & The Roman Empire

With Eric off on assignment at the Australian Little League Championships, it's just Spoon and Rolsey holding down the fort. The boys chat about Rolsey’s looming U.S. holiday (will he finally see a Cardinals win in person?), the Diamondbacks' emotional rollercoaster of a season, and the confusing-but-maybe-good news around the White Sox ownership group. Plus: is Roman Anthony knocking on the Red Sox’s door? Spoon wraps things up by trying to keep the crew’s hot form going with his best plays for the week.

It’s a two-man weave this weekend with Spoon and Eric holding it down while Rolsey is off the grid. Spoon’s riding the D-Backs emotional roller coaster (again), Eric is quietly horrified that Rockies–Marlins is even on the TV, and we try to figure out what exactly happened to Jesús Luzardo.

The Cubs are hitting a critical stretch, the Destiny Draft leaderboard gets an update, and somehow, we manage to squeeze out some weekend picks that might be worth a tail.

Low stakes, mid-matchups, high vibes. It’s the Weekend Pickoff.
