Transcript

00:00the other you know phenomenon is paul skeins pitching tonight okay so the twins are slight

00:06favorites and that's because the pirates just lose every game and they don't score i mean this

00:11is true i mean they literally are losing every game now and not scoring runs in any game

00:15genes has a chance to do something which is incredible have a higher war than wins in a

00:22baseball season i mean that is insane the total is six and a half tonight and that's no disrespect

00:26to joe ryan either he's been really good for the twins yeah and um the twins are like lifeless on

00:32offense they don't score at all so i mean call me crazy for liking an under six and a half but i

00:38think i do i like the under six and a half you know byron buxton got hit on the hand a couple nights

00:43ago and his status is to be determined he also has the home run derby coming up so not sure if their

00:47best hitter is going to be in the lineup i don't mind the tigers on the money line there was also

00:52a report the other day that some teams have been you know kind of checking in on joe ryan what's

00:55his availability from the twins and if the twins are sitting where they are a part of me wants to

01:00say it's like are we going to see what uh the white socks did last season with garrett crochet it's like

01:04hey we're gonna we're gonna ease off the gas a little bit because if we have a trade piece

01:07potential we don't want joe ryan to be going out there and expending too many innings if other

01:11teams are gonna be wanting him so i actually don't mind the the pirates at plus 110 on the money line

01:16and yeah give me under six and a half or seven where we can find it yeah you probably then would

01:21double down on their win total the twins 80 and a half i don't know how that's even the case

01:25i mean i don't see how they're a player in this playoff chase at all and and again buxton

01:30non-withstanding royce lewis non-withstanding i don't know like they i mean to me i'm sorry to

01:36say tom i saw them play here in south florida they just don't look good they do not look like a good

01:40team to me i i was a little bit i would say a bit more than a bit hesitant when they were booked as

01:46the favorites to win the al central i was just not on board with that the inconsistency that we saw

01:51or have not saw have seen historically from the injuries you know like this is a team of like i

01:56almost want to say it's like we never saw their full potential just because royce lewis and byron

02:00bucks and haven't been in the same lineup for an extended period of time at any point and then the

02:04injuries for the pitching staff i just never liked where they were priced and honestly i think this

02:08is a season that i don't want to say they want to wrap things up and start trading in pieces but

02:11that's what it looks like to me feels like that correa also not a good year for him either uh okay let's wrap

02:17it up blue jays a's tonight blue jays are favored that win streak's finally over for them the a's are

02:24that scrappy team i feel like they got their losing streak behind them too any position yeah i really

02:30like the over and i do like the blue jays to get back on another winning streak it was a great win

02:34for the athletics last night you know got a couple runs off of strider early with some home runs they

02:38walk it off but the blue jays are the better team i'm not gonna say they're dramatically better

02:42uh but they are in a great hitting environment it's gonna be super hot there with wind blowing out

02:46scherzer i honestly don't know what we're gonna be getting from him tonight i want to bank on

02:50ultimately the blue jays lineup coming through and kind of powering them to the win
