00:00the Seattle Mariners taking on the Chicago Cubs. It's Kirby versus Boyd, 971, 972 on the rotation.

00:07This game again is an afternoon game in Wrigley as they do on Fridays. This line opened up as

00:11around a minus 135 price as a favorite towards Chicago. You see the graphic on the screen right

00:16there, minus 130, that number is gone. It's actually minus 142 and higher at some other

00:21outlets here, but a total, we love it at Wrigley. It's nine and a half. Now you might say like,

00:26hey, Kirby's decent, Boyd's decent, but so are the temperatures and the wind being decent

00:31today in Wrigley, Joe, 76 degrees at first pitch. This game will be in the 80s by the time it finishes

00:36and a double digit wind blowing out the center field. We always get high numbers there. The

00:41question though is, will we see double digit runs combined here? Yeah. Well, you can tell where the

00:48wind's blowing, right? With this number done, because we've seen lesser in the former series

00:54here with the Cubs, but listen, Seattle bats hit or miss. Uh, they were quiet over the three game

01:00series against the Red Sox, which is why they lost two of three. Uh, Boyd is, has some history

01:06against these hitters from his time when he was with, uh, Detroit. Uh, but Kirby, I don't think

01:11has ever faced anybody here, uh, with the Cubs. He's never seen him before. Not exactly a great

01:17ballpark for him as he does give up a lot of fly balls. And if that wind's going out, I get it.

01:23Uh, I tend to think that the Cubs will handle business. Anything under 150, I think is a pretty

01:29good value here for the Cubs in this spot.
