00:02 By the way, a tough team backing in the past couple weeks is the Arizona

00:06 Diamondbacks.

00:07 One of those seasons said, hey, you know what?

00:08 Maybe we didn't see this coming here.

00:09 But hey, they look like they could be viable to possibly win the division out

00:13 in the NLS.

00:14 And then it turned to, okay, maybe they can get in the wild card and

00:17 they continue to flounder right now.

00:18 And what's a team that you don't wanna face while you're floundering?

00:21 It's the Los Angeles Dodgers and that offensive attack.

00:24 Miller is gonna go for the Dodgers today.

00:26 Kelly going for the Diamondbacks.

00:27 Favorite here for the Dodgers on the road at a -132 price,

00:31 a total that's listed at nine.

00:33 Let me just ask you the simple question.

00:35 The Diamondbacks are struggling, so granted they're priced appropriately.

00:38 Kelly is one of their better pitchers, but again, it's the Dodgers.

00:42 And it seems like right now,

00:43 who cares who the Dodgers throw as their starting pitcher?

00:45 That lineup is gonna get you on a day-to-day basis.

00:48 The Diamondbacks, only a +112 price.

00:51 Is that a possibility for you to go with the Diamondbacks today?

00:53 Or is it just, man,

00:54 stay out of the way of that Dodgers offense right now?

00:59 Well, you know, it's Miller, really.

01:02 That's the focal point here for this one, right?

01:04 I mean, the kid has been absolutely phenomenal.

01:07 He had a little bit of a bump in the road there, but there is no doubt

01:13 that if I'm a struggling lineup and I've got to go up against this kid, it's tough.

01:19 Now, Merrill Kelly is going for Arizona and

01:22 he is kind of, over the last couple seasons, been the, you know,

01:26 the guy that you need to show up on in a spot to get it done.

01:30 The problem is he hasn't been very good, you know, on the road.

01:34 At home, he's been decent.

01:36 So, I mean, I don't want to get in front of this train here.

01:40 I mean, if you're going to back Merrill Kelly,

01:43 now is the time to do it in this spot at home.

01:46 But I can't, in good conscience,

01:48 get anywhere in front of this Dodger's train who continue to score runs on the road

01:54 and continue to get it done.

01:56 It really is absolute.

01:58 And by the way, might as well get Freddie Freeman a hit prop, am I?

02:01 Because he continues to get hit after hit in every game.

02:04 It's stupid, Donnie.
