00:00But the Brew Crew has already quenched the National League Central.

00:08They're two games behind LA, that being the Dodgers, trying to maybe get the second seed

00:14in the National League standings for October to earn that opening round by past the wildcard

00:19round.

00:20If Milwaukee does not do that, and the Mets, who have the season series tie-breaking advantage

00:26over the Arizona Diamondbacks, New York won four of seven against Arizona this year, this

00:30could be our opening round matchup in Milwaukee in that wildcard round.

00:35It would be the Brewers as the three seed, the Diamondbacks as the sixth seed.

00:39You heard from Craig Misch, Milwaukee popped the champagne yesterday, the first to claim

00:44a divisional title in MLB this year.

00:47Arizona slumping a little bit as of late, nine and 12 since the end of August, at least

00:54August 25th, trying to make sure they hold on to a wildcard spot.

00:58Brandon Fott gets the start, and now Arizona is a road favorite, hand up DRS, during their

01:03commercial break.

01:04From our MLB insider's mouth to the FanDuel Sportsbook, I bet Arizona money lot.

01:09Yeah, and I think Arizona has a really good chance, and also, I think both of these teams

01:13have a chance to score some runs against these pitching matchups, so maybe another over,

01:16even though we do have a playoff atmosphere.

01:18And yes, Milwaukee did clinch, but there's still an eye on the prize of, we might be

01:21able to chase down the Dodgers and also the Phillies to get one of those buys.

01:24If we take a look at Tobias Meyers here on the mound, he struggled last 30 days, a buck

01:2890 ISO against, and a .346 weighted on base percentage.

01:32Take a look at that lineup here tonight that we're anticipating for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

01:36Outside of, let's just say, Keitel-Martez, .248 weighted on base percentage, along with

01:39Jake McCarthy, everybody else is plus, and has some really good numbers against right-handed

01:43pitching.

01:44If we flip it over and say, all right, Milwaukee, not really known for scoring a ton of runs.

01:48Brandon Fott will be on the mound.

01:49He struggled the past 30 days, and you take a look at Churio, Contreras, Mitchell, and

01:53Adamas, all elevated ISO and weighted on base percentages here.

01:56You see the graphic up there, eight, typically you'd lean towards the under, which I did

02:00yesterday in the Phillies-Milwaukee game, but I think these two pitchers have the chance

02:03to struggle today, and I think we get runs.

02:05Let's go over eight again.
