00:00Take a look at the game today. Warren's on the mound versus Michaelis. 975-976. A 2.15 start between these two. A favorite overnight around a minus 150 price point for the Yankees. It's actually a little bit higher, Tom. Minus 155s, minus 157s in the marketplace. A total, though, however, opened up at 9.5. Has dropped to 9 at most outlets right now. We'll see how that one turns out.
00:19But if we look at the weather conditions out in St. Louis, 95 degrees at first pitch. Winds one or two miles per hour. No rain in the forecast. It's hot in the Midwest, just like in Kansas City.
00:30It really is. And while Will Warren is a good pitcher, I don't know if he warrants this type of money line at minus 154. It's fantastic to see a 26 point strikeout rate from him. The walks continue to be an issue. The Cardinals don't strike out too much.
00:47But, Donnie, we know this game is literally about one player in this game. And that's the pitcher for the Cardinals. That's Miles Michaelis, who is absolutely terrible. One of our favorite pitchers to attack because what do we got from him?
00:59Doesn't strike out one out. Yeah, there's a walker in. But the hits, the home runs, the bad bit, they're all through the roof. And the Yankees lineup should come through. Am I expecting seven RBIs out of Ben Rice, as we saw last night?
01:08No, but everyone top to bottom of the Yankees lineup catches my eye. Maybe not. I know Jazz Chisholm had a homer, but I would rather take even Austin Wells at the bottom of the lineup.
01:19Grisham, Judge, Ballinger, Stanton are going to crush Michaelis today.
01:23Yes. Yes, I believe that as well. And sometimes we talk about fading the atmosphere of the ballpark. Hey, 62 degrees, wind blowing in. Yeah, it's kind of tough to hit home runs.
01:31Boy, when you get some of these guys supercharged with 90, you know, degree temperatures, you saw it yesterday.
01:36You theoretically should have had a very good ball game. Ace on the mound versus ace on the mound.
01:40Now, granted, how if Max Fried's been pitching for the Yankees, not so much ace-like, but yesterday he got hammered.
01:45Then so did Sonny Gray on the opposite side. Sometimes there are ebbs and flows in Major League Baseball.
01:48High scoring yesterday. Oh, no, two to one game today. It just doesn't play out that way to me.
01:52Because even when you're looking at, you know, Warren on one side, I have Warren as the 16th pitcher on my card.
01:56A 429 ERA, a 436 X5 number. And then down below him is Miles Michaelis at around a 5.5 ERA and a 4.46 X5 number.
02:04Both of these lineups project pretty well for me, Tom, today in St. Louis. I think there's a really good chance.
02:09And again, the 8.5s that are out there at DraftKings, I do think we get nine runs in this game and a lot of runs.
02:13And also, hint, Tom, Giancarlo Stanton. Give me a little bit of that torque. You know what I mean?
02:19Bang! That's what I'm feeling today. Come on.
