00:00the question though donnie was would the dodgers live up to that expectation at least in playoff

00:05positioning would they be far and away the best team in baseball well down the final two and a

00:10half weeks or so of june yeah that is the answer for the dodgers 53 and 32 they've won 13 of their

00:19last 17 and now approach even money plus 115 the price on la to win a national league pennant even

00:27philadelphia there with the second best price at five to one nearly four bucks back and it's always

00:33going to be that way and most people say god you're still struggling this year 53 and 32 because you

00:38thought they should have been even better than that which is crazy they have a seven game lead in what

00:42we thought would be the most competitive division in baseball and they're running away with this

00:46before we even see the all-star break but the thing that always brings people back is you're still

00:50thinking about a week and a half ago like hey look at that one two game lead here can the padres can

00:54the giants chase them down at this point they're starting to separate as they should and also

00:59understand this you're taking a look at shohei otani is now pitching into the second inning sooner

01:03than later he's going to be an official starting pitcher in your rotation not just an open at this

01:08point which adds another top two arm in the game i'm not saying like a number one overall pitcher as

01:13if he was tyrick scuba but a one-two punch we're like hey trade deadline we just got a number two in

01:18town right now and that's shohei otani that's absolutely incredible here and you understand this again

01:23it's not a finished product with the dodgers wait to the deadline i don't care if they're up 14 games

01:29at the deadline they will add an all-star caliber player to that already talented roster that's what

01:35the worry is the books have already taken a ton of money here on the dodgers they will continue to do

01:39that and that's why you see those price points right now we're not even into july july starts tomorrow

01:44which means july august and september that's roughly 90 days left in the regular season and we're already

01:50starting to see them possibly cross over of a plus 100 to a minus 110 price to win and you don't win

01:56like the nl pennant is not the end of the season the best record in the national league this still

02:01means they got to win in the playoffs and get to the world series which is a completely different

02:05thing and they're still priced this heavy
