00:00Don't look now, but those Reds here doing a little bit of damage trying to make the playoffs here going up against Chicago Cubs 903 904 220 start from Wrigley today Abbott the lefty on the mound against Horton. And of course, you see the opening number at seven, or excuse me, eight as the total Joe, it's down to seven and a half. You don't even have to check the conditions at Wrigley. Who cares what the weather is? It means the wind is blowing in a favorite here for Chicago overnight in the mid 140s. That's now dipping. You'll see the graphic on the screen at a minus 142. It's actually lower right now.
00:28Minus 135s minus 138s, depending on what book you are shopping at right now. Chicago Cubs. You gotta stay within reaching distance here. The Brewers, you need to win somehow. Do they get it against Abbott today?
00:40Well, it's going to be not easy. I mean, Abbott is allowed, I believe two earned runs or less in 16 of his 19 starts this year. I mean, he, and he's not giving up the long ball. So he has been pretty much lights out.
00:55I mean, sneaky under the radar Cy Young conversation here for what he has done this season. Now, Kate Horton, not exactly a guy that brings a whole lot of confidence, but you mentioned it.
01:08Seven and a half is an interesting number. I don't necessarily trust Kate Horton. So I think backing the Reds early in the first five is a pretty good look here.
01:20I don't trust that Reds bullpen, but I trust Abbott to limit the damage by the Cubs like he's done to everyone else.
01:26I'll back the Reds here in the first five.
