00:00By the way, how about this series here, which I don't know how many people are paying attention

00:02to because coming into the season, no high expectations were required.

00:06That's the Angels and the Cardinals.

00:07And after the 5-4 victory in 10 innings yesterday for the Angels, the Angels are 3-1, and the

00:12Cardinals picked to be dead last in the Central, at least to the odds market.

00:16They're 3-1 as well.

00:17I had a Soler and a Trout player prop parlay, which cashed late in that game, so I was very

00:22happy to see that.

00:23But how about that?

00:24The Angels and the Cards, 3-1 apiece?

00:27Well, in fairness, I mean, the Angels played the White Sox, and the Cardinals played a

00:32not very good Twins team, so I don't know how quick I'm willing to celebrate these teams

00:37getting off to a hot start.

00:38So there is that, but nonetheless, you take the wins where you can get them this early

00:42in the year.

00:43By the way, you look at Mike Trout, too, last night.

00:45He did have a—this is the perfect night where I always preach about RBI props, plus

00:48money.

00:49I absolutely love those.

00:50Trout goes 0-3, but still gets two RBI in that game last night.

00:54Now, Mike Trout, as I talked about opening up the season, I believe he was 16-1 to win

00:58the AL MVP.

00:59I thought it was a better bet to take him like a comeback player of the year, which

01:01I thought was a ridiculous price on 16-1.

01:04Trouty opens up the season, which usually is hot, then gets injured, Mark.

01:080-77 on the season so far as opening there in the middle of that lineup for Trouty.

01:13Yeah, I mean, again, it's sad to say that we may be seeing the decline of what was the

01:20best player in a generation for probably about five to seven years, right?

01:24Like, I mean, there's just—there's no getting around how good Mike Trout was.

01:28He drew every comparison to Mickey Mantle and every other, you know, guy who set the

01:32record books on fire from days of baseball lore, and he just has not been a healthy guy

01:37over the past five years of his career, and it's kind of sad to see.

01:41It's one of those things you start to wonder, what if he could have stayed healthy?

01:44What was the ceiling for him?

01:46What was the height that he could have reached?
