00:00And Tariq Skubel, when he pitches, I know that game is going to be really good for Detroit.

00:08He's not going to pitch the next two days.

00:10They already have a win.

00:11So they're loving life.

00:12Houston's another huge favorite today with Hunter Brown on the mound.

00:16Detroit, as AJ Hinge said, does really not have another starting pitcher here.

00:22Tigers, Matt, extremely dangerous if they get past this round because they can throw

00:26Skubel three times in a six or seven game series.

00:29Do you think that they can get another one in Houston with this patchwork pitching that

00:34they have?

00:36It's going to be tough.

00:37And, you know, that's why yesterday was obviously so important.

00:40And I think if you are a Tigers fan watching the end of that game, I just, you'd have been

00:44on pins and needles.

00:45There's few sports that can do it to you like playoff baseball.

00:49And given that situation, especially, I felt for them, but then they got the win.

00:54So, you know, they got to celebrate and that was great, but it's going to be extremely

00:58difficult today without question.

01:01You know, the Astros just seem to be one of these teams too that that has a way and people

01:05can insert their own joke there about what that way is to find wins in the postseason

01:10sometimes.

01:11But this is the game that I'm most looking forward to today.

01:14I think I like I like we've said, I think they're all going to be good.

01:17But I think it's just extremely tough when you're taxing your pitching staff as much

01:22as they figure to do today on top of, you know, the fact that they had to tax it a little

01:27bit yesterday.

01:29Not that any of those guys besides Scuba aren't going to be available, but it's just going

01:33to make the whole road tougher, whether, you know, it's a tough game today and oh, they

01:38lost a tough one, but, you know, we get to come out again tomorrow.

01:42It's just going to make everything tougher.

01:43So that'll be a very interesting and fun game.

01:46It's going to be a lot of intensity on that one.
