00:00What do you think we get this weekend?

00:02You know, I mean, a little, I think the fact that the games are nationally televised and,

00:06you know, you're coming off a World Series, I think you'll get a little more juice normally

00:10than you would get in a, let's say, May 30th series.

00:14Yeah, without a doubt.

00:15And I mean, anytime you get these teams going against each other, regardless of if they

00:20were meeting in the World Series a season prior or not, you're getting each coast in

00:24two premier organizations.

00:26So yeah, no doubt about it.

00:27There's going to be a lot of excitement surrounding these teams, which we know begins tonight.

00:31And it's going to be a fun matchup with Tony Gonsolin and Max Freed.

00:35I mean, on the side of Max Freed, the dude has been one of the best pitchers in Major

00:39League Baseball up to this point.

00:40But how good can he be against this offense in the Los Angeles Dodgers?

00:45That's what we're going to have to wait and see unfold.

00:47And for Gonsolin on the other side, well, we know that he's capable of producing a quality

00:51outing here and there, but some of his numbers are a tad bit concerning, especially when you're

00:57going up against the Bronx Bombers who have been living up to the hype of that name.

01:01So we see this total at about nine, Craig, and I think that draws some interest.

01:05And I think with these teams, most people tend to want to bet the over, but I'm putting a

01:10bit more stock into Tony Gonsolin here because let's be honest, Max Freed should be able to

01:16hold the zone if he can pitch somewhat similar to how he's been performing throughout the course

01:21of this early stage of the season.

01:24And then with Tony Gonsolin on the other side, despite a 4-6 ERA, his fifth is hovering around

01:29that four flat spot.

01:30His skill interactive ERA, aka his Sierra, is sub four.

01:35So I'm thinking we could get at least a good enough outing from Tony Gonsolin to keep this

01:40total under nine.

01:41It's going to be a closely contested game in my mind.

01:44You can trust both bullpen.

01:45So hopefully this series starts out on a slower note.

01:48I haven't necessarily bet it myself, but I think that would be a very strong lean for

01:52me.

01:53And then probably if you're getting a little bit of plus money on the side of Los Angeles,

01:57I think would be worth a look.

01:59I mean, basically anytime these teams are going up against each other, it's a coin flip.

02:02So if you're getting value and the pitcher's not that bad on your side, I think that's worth

02:06the stab in this area as well.
