00:00A slight favorite here for Miami, which tells you everything you need to know.

00:03The Marlins are favored on the road against the Atlanta Braves around a minus 120 price

00:07as it sits currently.

00:08Eights to eight and a half, depending where you're shopping at it for the total.

00:11But Carlos Carrasco, one of those pitchers that's just looking to earn a paycheck.

00:15And the reason I say that is Atlanta's not bringing up any other arms out of their minor

00:19league system to start their clock in Major League Baseball.

00:22They basically said, we're going to pick up Fetty and Carrasco, innings eaters, bombed

00:27or not bombed, just go out and pitch so we don't have to waste any of our arms in the

00:31minors.

00:31Whenever you have a situation like that, there's no way I'm betting them.

00:34I'm backing Miami today in this game.

00:36I think they take care of Atlanta.

00:37Joe, how about you?

00:39I listen.

00:40I might even go into the alternate market here and say, you know what?

00:44The advantage I have with Yuri Perez starting this game over Carrasco is absolutely crazy.

00:54And it's worth maybe taking a risk of maybe laying one, one and a half with Miami in the

01:00first five.

01:01Yuri Perez has got a 1.06 ERA over his past six starts.

01:06They're rolling out Carlos Carrasco because they basically have nobody else.

01:10And he got lit up, I believe.

01:12His lead, the first start that he had here.

01:15And listen, this is an important game for Miami.

01:17They got a chance to get back to 500.

01:19That's a big deal for a team that most people thought was going to be one of the worst in

01:24Major League Baseball.

01:25They're a young team.

01:26They're in the wild card hunt.

01:28And they have their ace on the mound.

01:30I would look to try and get plus money in a big way in the alternate market with the fish

01:37in the first five on this one.
