00:00New York Yankees. Ooh, two teams that hate each other, Joe. It's the Houston Astros. As they come

00:04to 10 against the Yankees, the Boos will be out in full force. The only question is,

00:09will they be doing the Astros with their own Yankees in this series? Brown's going to go up

00:12against Schlitter in this series. Game number one tonight, 7.05 PM, 9.13, 9.14 on the rotation.

00:18If we look at the lines overnight, it was roughly a favorite here at most outlets for the Houston

00:23Astros. But now we see more of a pick them across the sports landscape right now, depending on where

00:27you're shopping at. A low total, too, Joe. Eights overnight, they turned into 7.5. We're

00:32expecting a pitching performance tonight. The question is, which pitcher and which team do you

00:36trust? Well, I'm very interested in the line movement here, Donnie, overnight from a, you know,

00:44the Astros being the road favorite to all of a sudden now the Yankees in a lot of spots being

00:50the favorite. So, listen, Hunter Brown, we know he was about as Cy Young worthy as anybody in Major

00:59League Baseball for, you know, three quarters of this season. He has slowed down here a little bit

01:05over the last couple of starts here, over the last month. But the reality is, which version of these

01:11two teams is showing up here tonight? Are we getting the Hunter Brown of old and the lineup that we saw

01:18explode finally for over the weekend for the Astros with Kenya and Carrera and company?

01:24Or are we going to get the one that, again, can't hit water if they fell out of a boat? So,

01:29I think this is going to be a very unique matchup. But both bullpens are fantastic, by the way. So,

01:35both starting pitchers have issues. It's an under to me here. I just, I think the offenses are going

01:43to struggle here tonight in this first game against these pitching staffs.
