00:00week all right this time it's we're looking at two different teams here to make the playoffs

00:04and we find plus money for the yes obviously and big minus money for the no let's start with the

00:10atlanta braves here to make it yes plus 194 to not make it minus 245 so that seems to be i just think

00:17they're too far out and given the issue with chris sale now there's just too many teams to hurdle

00:22too many good teams too much ground to make up but joe is there anything in you that believes that

00:27near two to one is worth it well there are six games out of the wild card in fact that move that

00:33number has moved to plus 260 since the chris sale injury uh news this weekend so we had this all

00:39set to discuss and say hey we got sale we got strider we've got schwellenbach we've got quite

00:44a rotation acuna's uh just lacing balls all over the place so maybe maybe the braves do have enough

00:50time to kind of race in that the bullpen's been a huge issue for them too at plus 260 now it's even

00:56more intriguing to me it all depends on how long chris sale is going to be out now you have to

01:00imagine it's a while but you do have the all-star break which is a cushion the good news bad news

01:05scenario is they will play the mets again starting this week right so if they take two or three again

01:09for the mets they're going to gain more ground yet again then after that the schedule for the

01:14atlanta braves is extremely intriguing because they played the phillies right after and once again if

01:20you can continue to handle your business right all of a sudden you are kind of just chipping away

01:25at that lead in the east a little bit you're also simultaneously chipping away at the wild card

01:31lead the schedule changes dramatically then for them once they hit the end of june beginning of

01:37july they play the angels which i do not think is a good baseball team the orioles which i think we

01:42can agree is not a good baseball team the athletics we're a cellar dweller right now and then the

01:47cardinals who are very competitive going up to the break so the schedule starts to work out in their

01:51favor i'm not saying it's a lock the chris sale being healthy bit makes me want to go bet this

01:57two to one but once he went on the il i think i'm a little shaky i think now i might stay away from it

02:02but i would not be shocked if we were sitting here at the all-star break and all of a sudden atlanta

02:06chopped that wild card deficit from six to three and if they do this number is going to get chopped yet

02:12again from 260 probably to i don't know plus 125 to make the playoffs so you have to keep that in mind

02:17as well that it's it's hard to count out a team that has such a culture of winning built in its dna

02:22every single season
