00:00Death, taxes, and you can beat the hell out of the Colorado Rockies pitching staff.
00:05Like, isn't that the way it is at Coors?
00:06Like, you go to Coors, like, get yourself back in gear for a playoff run,
00:11and it looks like that's what the Dodgers are doing.
00:13Today, the Dodgers are going to take on Colorado once again in Colorado
00:16with nice weather conditions.
00:18Warm weather in Colorado is a perfect match.
00:20Also mix in terrible pitchers, which Colorado has, an even better match.
00:24Shohei Otani is going to be on the mound today for the Dodgers
00:26going up against Tanner Gordon, who is terrible.
00:28The total is listed at 11.5, not because we think that Shohei Otani isn't going to shut it down.
00:33It's just how many more runs can you score if you are the Dodgers?
00:36Maybe double digits again is expected today, but it is a heavy favorite for Otani.
00:40Some outlets, Joe, as high as 325 as a favorite, and I don't see much pushback going like,
00:46yeah, well, Gordon's going to shut down the Dodgers.
00:48I think the Dodgers might go for two touchdowns on offense today, tonight, Joe.
00:52How about that?
00:53A huge steam move overnight.
00:56Mine is 225 to over $3 now, and by the way, we have no idea how long Otani is going to go
01:04at this particular point.
01:05He hasn't gone, you know, more than four innings in any particular start.
01:11We were wondering when they were going to kind of stretch him out, but don't forget,
01:15we got this Colorado team that prior to yesterday had won four straight, including game one of
01:21this series, and now, well, they came back down to reality yesterday, and they're throwing
01:27out a gas can in Tanner Gordon here.
01:29So I would maybe go to the alt market and say, you know what, give me the Dodgers team
01:37total, whatever obnoxious number it is in the alt market.
01:40It feels like the Dodgers could put up another double-digit score here today on their own.
01:46Yeah, last 30 days, if we look at Tanner Gordon's statistics here, strikes out 12% of the batters
01:51he's faced.
01:51That's not good when you're playing in the thin air of Coors Field.
01:54You also take a look at his power numbers against, a 196 if you combine righty and lefties,
01:58and a 442 weighted on base percentage combining lefty and righties as well.
02:02You also take a look at that Dodgers lineup with Shohei Otani and Will Smith and Freddie Freeman,
02:06and it's Oscar Hernandez and Andy Pajas, you know, lining up over the past month to smash
02:11right-handed pitching.
02:1289-degree temperatures, Joe, today.
02:15At night in Colorado, wind blowing out double digits to left field, and you're right about
02:19Tanner Gordon.
02:20Since July 1st, he has a K rate per nine innings of 5.9.
02:24We just told you it was low over the past 30 days.
02:25It's still low over the past 45 days.
02:28An exit minus number of 121, but how about an ERA that sits at 11 for the past 45 days,
02:35and the Dodgers here looking to be fresh to hammer tonight.
02:38But it is always, like Joe, last night, the team total for the Dodgers was minus,
02:43excuse me, seven, I don't want to say minus seven and a half because you're like a football line.
02:46Seven and a half at like a minus 110 price, and they smacked it.
02:51Yep, and Otani, by the way, 44th home run last night, ties him with Schwarber in the National
02:57League, and call me crazy.
02:58I don't know, is it minus money for an Otani home run tonight?
03:04Because something tells me he could very well lead the game off with a home run.
03:10That would not shock me at all.
03:12He had the TV on yesterday, and ESPN Bet said it was their lowest home run price they've
03:16ever had in the history of the app was on Otani, a plus 100, and he hit a home run.
03:20There were other apps, which I saw people tweeting yesterday on X, that had Otani at minus Joe,
03:24like a minus 113 to hit a home run in a Major League Baseball game.
03:29And by the way, did you see Otani's home run?
03:31It looked like a simple line drive into the gap, but it's Colorado.
03:34It just sailed into the seats, man.
03:36It was outrageous.
03:38Crazy.
03:39And again, that's why today wouldn't shock me.
03:41Tens also, early in games, hit the ball pretty well there before he gets out to the mound.
03:48So it would not shock me here, if at all, if all of a sudden, first at bat, bomb by Otani.
03:53Yep, wouldn't shock me tonight either if Texas gets like six runs in the first inning.
03:58They're going to take on Kansas City again today.
03:59Kumar Rocker's on the mound against Cameron the lefty.
04:02Cameron the lefty's been very good this season for Kansas City.
04:05It's roughly a pick-em across the board here with a total of about eight,
04:08but I believe Rocker was just inserted as what we believe to be the starting pitcher today.
04:12It almost had like a bullpen guy in the beginning, but it looks like it is going to be Rocker today.
04:16How do we feel about Texas and Kansas City?
04:19Well, it was actually supposed to be DeGrom, but he was scratched overnight.
04:23So, yeah, and now they've got the – then it was going to be the bullpen,
04:28and now, of course, we've got Rocker here.
04:32And it's interesting, too, because we still have a Royals team that ranks dead last in production at home.
04:38They only score about a little over three runs per game at Kauffman.
04:42Cameron's been great.
04:44Two earned runs or fewer.
04:4613 of his 17 starts this season for the rookie.
04:49Call me crazy.
04:51I'll take the under.
04:52I got no problem looking at the under.
04:557 to 40 tonight.
04:56Eight is the total out there.
04:58It is warm again.
04:59Kansas City seems like – you don't really think about like the Midwest, Joe, is heating up, man.
05:03Every time I look at Kansas City, it's like damn near 90 degrees every time they play a game.
05:07Vinny Pasquantino last Saturday, Joe, was so hot.
05:10He left the game with dizzy spells and blacking out because of how hot it was on the field, man.
05:14Crazy.
05:14By the way, Vinny P. popped a home run last night.
05:17More Major League Baseball talk with the Philadelphia Phillies and the Mariners coming up.
05:23Oh, yeah.
05:24Seattle and Philadelphia afternoon edition, Joe.
05:271 p.m. at Citizens Bank Ballpark.
05:28The Phillies' bats have really awakened over the past couple days.
05:31Home run after home run after home run.
05:33You want sure bombs?
05:34You got it.
05:34And when JT Ramuto finding his power stroke was one of the best skaters in baseball over the past month coming out of the All-Star break,
05:40you're getting that with the Phillies right now.
05:42And also, if you get to the ninth inning with a lead for the Phillies, it's no longer, oh, no, Jordan Romano's in the game.
05:48No, it's Johan Duran.
05:50The Durantula comes out and shuts things down.
05:52Today, it's Luis Castillo, veteran on the mound.
05:55Jesus Lizardo, sometimes really good.
05:58Every once in a while, really bad.
06:00The Phillies are a favorite today, Joe.
06:01And overnight, that line is creeping up.
06:03The 135s, they're no longer there.
06:05The 142s you'll see on this graphic, they're no longer there.
06:08We're in the mid-150s for the Phillies as a favorite today.
06:12And the total bouncing back between eight and a half and nine, depending on where you're shopping at.
06:16Castillo, Lizardo in Philly.
06:18Runs?
06:20Yeah, well, it could very well be here.
06:23I mean, this road trip, and we had mentioned it yesterday, it's starting to take its toll on the Mariners, this East Coast trip.
06:30They lost in Baltimore, they lost in Queens, Williamsport, now Philadelphia over the last week.
06:38They have been, they're going through it right now.
06:42However, they've won eight of the last ten, started by Castillo here.
06:47But he's coming off an absolute blasting by the Mets.
06:51Six runs, nine hits, and four innings here.
06:54But the Mariners scored 11 against those awful Mets pitchers, so kind of bailed him out.
07:00He's been giving up the long ball, Castillo, a lot.
07:02I think six home runs in his last 15 and a third this month, he was not very good.
07:08I think Lizardo, whatever that was in July, he's kind of figured it out.
07:13He's settled down here over his last four starts.
07:16The Phillies have won three of his last four starts.
07:18I don't see why the Phillies aren't winning this game either.
07:22In fact, I'd even lay the run line with the Phillies because I think runs are coming in a big way.
07:30Yeah, take a look at the XFIT minus numbers.
07:32Castillo, 83, Joe, over the past 45 days, which is very good.
07:35Jesus Lizardo, 86, like even comp there.
07:37You also take a look at Luis Castillo since the first of the month, which we're talking about not August,
07:41but back to July, so about 45 days or so.
07:44He's got a .333 ERA, which isn't bad.
07:46Lizardo's a little bit higher at .453 because he does tend to have the strikeout great starts,
07:50and every once in a while, that really bad start.
07:52But you're saying, like as well as I do, he's sort of figuring things out on the fly,
07:55and he's probably on the better end of it now.
07:57But the one interesting thing that you look at is like seasonal statistics,
08:00where you look at like the road starts here and home starts.
08:04Jesus Lizardo at home this year, Joe, 523 ERA, but a .321 XFIT number.
08:08It's almost like, what do you trust?
08:10The analytics of the whole thing, or do you just go and say, you know what, the ERA?
08:13Because last night we talked about Shane Boz.
08:15Like you're like, I don't give a damn about the analytics.
08:16Look at his ERA, and they got crushed last night.
08:18But then you take a look at the road starts on the season when you're getting to Luis Castillo.
08:23He's at about a .5.
08:24Like, so something has to give today, and the Phillies bats are red hot.
08:28We'll see when the official lineups come out.
08:29But that's a .105 start today in Philadelphia.
08:31Let's get back to Tampa.
08:33Scene of the crime last night, Joe.
08:34Hammered the New York Yankees.
08:36They won easy last night.
08:37Nine home runs.
08:38And now we see Rasmussen on the mound, who has very good statistics here over the past month,
08:42going up against Schlitter.
08:43If you look at the lines, a slight favorite overnight to Tampa Bay, depending where you're shopping at,
08:48it's still .116s, .118s, and .120s as a favorite towards Tampa, and an .8.5 total.
08:54Does anything change in your mind today, or the Yankees bats just stay smoking hot in Tampa, and away they go?
08:59Well, Rasmussen has kind of been the guy for Tampa, right?
09:03I mean, he has been the guy that when they need a good start, keep the runs down,
09:08he has kind of been the guy to do that.
09:11However, yeah, I don't know with the way the Yankees are hitting right now.
09:16I mean, over the last week, they got over a .150 WRC+.
09:20You got Judge hitting, what, three home runs in his last six games, and Yankees in that ballpark.
09:28Now, the only problem you're looking at is that the Yankees know what's coming up this week.
09:31Boston back in the Bronx, which is a big series.
09:34But how are we sweating out an under in this game in any way, shape, or form?
09:39It feels like over might be the look, especially since the bullpen for Tampa yesterday had to be called in
09:47because they were throwing batting practice there, Shane Boz, last night.
09:51So it feels like runs could be coming, and a lot of them in this game again.
09:57Like, remember, like, the old school owners, Joe, from, like, the 1920s, 30s, and 40s?
10:00Like, they built baseball stadiums with giant fences, not because, like, oh, we just don't want to see a lot of runs.
10:05They didn't want to lose the baseballs and pay for more baseballs, so they had those giant fences to keep everything in.
10:09Maybe they think about that because, you know, there's penny pinching down there in Tampa.
10:13There's no doubt about it.
10:13On payroll, there's too many home runs we're giving away in balls here.
10:17Hey, maybe you got to build a new stadium with bigger walls at that point.
10:19We'll see how it factors in, but by the way, Aaron Judge, minus 145 at some outlets here to win MVP.
10:24Even the home run last night not helping him out so much.
10:27And a quick update here as we talked about the Philadelphia Phillies.
10:30Christopher Sanchez was second in line to win the Cy Young based on the odds market.
10:35He shortened those odds on Paul Skeens because even though he didn't factor into the win because the bullpen was terrible,
10:39talking about a Ryan Kirkering, he was sensational.
10:42I think seven or eight times this year, Joe, 10-plus strikeouts for Christopher Sanchez,
10:45who steps into that ace role for the Philadelphia Phillies, and we'll see how that goes.
10:49Down the stretch here, but more Major League Baseball games certainly to talk about today,
10:53and that includes San Francisco and San Diego.
10:56San Diego pick them the victory yesterday, trying to chase down the Dodgers.
10:59Landon Ralph will be on the mound for the Giants, going up against J.P. Sears,
11:03the lefty for what used to be the Athletics, who now he pitches for the San Diego Padres.
11:09A 158-160 price point in the marketplace, eights across the board.
11:13I just think San Diego is better than San Francisco.
11:15I don't love the price point, but I don't think San Francisco wins this.
11:18The bats just aren't there for them this year.
11:21No, they're not, and I just don't know what we're going to get from offensively from them,
11:28especially against the lefty in J.P. Sears here.
11:33So Landon Roop actually pitched really well his last start coming off the IL.
11:38He was actually pretty good in that game.
11:40It feels like a dead under to me here in this late game, somewhere around the eight mark there.
11:47I still don't trust either lineup in their worst splits.
11:51So, yeah, I think the under is the way I would look in this one.
11:54But, no, there you go, Roop, because I don't think I've ever heard his name.
11:57I bet it would get to him a couple times, but I don't think I've ever heard his name there.
12:00It does make sense that it would be Roop as opposed to Raup, though, just trying to phonetically spell it out.
12:04So, we'll go with that, Landon.
12:06See how you like that.
12:06See, show some respect for that.
12:08The lineup tonight for the Padres, Tatis, Arise, Machado, O'Hearn, Bogart, Sheets, Laureano, Cronenworth, and Fermin.
12:14That's what we're expecting here.
12:15Also, still waiting.
12:16You know, Jackson Merrill in that lineup.
12:19He's been down for a couple days as they're waiting for him to get back in there.
12:22We'll see if he pops up tonight.
12:23But I just think they're the better team.
12:24You look at San Francisco.
12:27Is San Francisco, Joe, like the new Mariners back in the day?
12:31Like, San Francisco's never had great hitting lineups.
12:33Now, they won a lot of World Series and did it differently in, like, the mid-2000s.
12:36But the new addition is, like, every night I look at them, the lineup just looks like it stinks.
12:41And they can't get anybody to help them out, which includes Raphael Devers.
12:44How do you – like, it's so hard to bet teams.
12:46Like, hey, I like them as an underdog.
12:47Like, well, what are you going to get, three hits out of them tonight?
12:51Yeah, if you're lucky.
12:52And that's the problem.
12:54And it's not exactly a hitter's ballpark either.
12:56So, this is going to be interesting.
13:00Runs could very well be hard to come by.
13:03No doubt about it.
13:05By the way, the Padres still sit two games back of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
13:08Both of those teams won their last game.
13:10Last ten games, the Dodgers only five and five.
13:12And the San Diego Padres at six and four.
13:14And you're right there.
13:15When you take a look at the Colorado Rockies, just playing spoiler.
13:17They're 36 games back in that division.
13:20But they are six and four in their last ten.
13:22And I think they were doing, like, a side-by-side yesterday on TV from the Colorado Rockies.
13:25And the Dodgers only one-game separation outside of the all-star break.
13:29So, they are playing better.
13:30And, by the way, we always talk about, Joe, don't throw out teams just because they're bad.
13:34Because there's ways that you can make money on those.
13:36The Rockies and their team totals, the same thing like the Chicago White Sox.
13:39They present themselves very well on a day-to-day basis.
13:42Their pitchers just can't help them out.
13:43And, yes, if you lose the game ten to seven, oh, I lost on the Rockies.
13:46Did you?
13:47You should have just took their four and a half last night.
13:49Which, again, no one scored four runs.
13:50But that team can hit a little bit at that point.
13:52They're a fun team to watch and always at Colorado.
13:55But it's always the eyescape, Joe.
13:57How do you just take teams where it's like, hey, you know what?
13:59Let me get that team total at seven and a half.
14:01I just think it's broken brain syndrome.
14:02But you know they're going to get it tonight.
14:04Talking about the Dodgers getting eight plus.
14:06You know they're going to get it.
14:07Yeah.
14:08The runs are definitely coming in that game any which way.
14:12The question to me is, what is Colorado?
14:15Are they going to get to Otani early?
14:17Or are they going to get to the bullpen of the Dodgers?
14:20It's late.
14:20But I do think the runs are coming tonight.
14:23Yeah.
14:23How about our leadoff home run by Otani tonight?
14:25And he comes out and strikes out the side in the bottom of the first inning.
14:28Away the MVP goes into the rest of his campaign.
14:31More Major League Baseball coming up next.
14:33The Brewers and the Cubs.
14:34Can the Cubs win another one and sort of get in that rearview mirror?
14:38And also the Astros.
14:40How about a run?
14:41Anytime.
14:42It would be great, guys.
14:43You can do it today.
14:45Biz Marquis used to say one key phrase here.
14:47Nobody beats the biz.
14:49Well, nobody beats the Miz either.
14:51Mizorowski's back on the mound.
14:52And apparently now, Joe, some people can beat the Miz and the Milwaukee Brewers.
14:57And that is the Chicago Cubs.
14:59They'll tangle tonight at Wrigley 805.
15:01You said it as well as I agreed with.
15:04Maybe the best thing that ever happened to the Cubs was that washout of the first doubleheader.
15:07Like, they were probably going to get their head planted in both of those games.
15:10You get killed in game number one.
15:11You take a deep breath.
15:12And then you come back and win your own doubleheader.
15:15And now you have Collaray on the mound versus Mizorowski, who didn't have a great start his last time out.
15:19Only lasting like two innings.
15:21116.
15:22115 favorite here towards Milwaukee going up against Chicago.
15:25A total that's listed at seven.
15:27No need to understand what the weather conditions are.
15:29You see the graphics six and a half.
15:31That wind's blowing in.
15:32The big Miz on the mound versus Ray.
15:34Can the Cubs win another one to sort of climb back into that race against the Milwaukee Brewers in the Central?
15:40I do not think so.
15:43Listen, the Cubs all year long have been one of the best teams in Major League Baseball in bouncing back after a loss.
15:51You know one of the other really good teams there?
15:53The Milwaukee Brewers here.
15:55So, wasn't a shock.
15:57We had mentioned it yesterday.
15:58We thought the Cubs' best chance of winning was game one behind Boyd.
16:02They got it done, and then they caught Woodruff when it wasn't great form.
16:07Got his first loss there for the Brewers.
16:10So be it.
16:10But I think Miz gets back here tonight at Wrigley.
16:15Gets back on track.
16:17It was his first start last time out off that, you know, that short stint on the IL because of the ankle.
16:24So, I think he'll be fine.
16:27The Cubs' bats, I still don't trust them at all.
16:30And I think the Brewers will bounce back in a big way at a really good price here tonight.
16:36Yeah, Colin Ray's not a bad pitcher, but let's take a look at some of those statistics.
16:40Last 45 days, he's actually down the list on XFIP at 4.37, which isn't a total disaster, but it's really high.
16:46His ERA is better.
16:47His XFIP minus is a 106.
16:48If we look at Ray's starts at home this season, he goes to a 4.13 ERA and a 4.37 XFIP number.
16:55But whenever you take a look at the lineups now, still, even though Chicago's had a couple of nice at-bats over the past couple of days,
17:00last 30 days don't really show up all that well, that Brewers lineup just looks great.
17:03Like Freilich, Durbin, Contreras, Yelich, Vaughn, Collins, Terang, Perkins, and Ortiz.
17:08It's not even household names, but all of those guys mashing for the most part with ISOs and weighted on base percentages against right-handed pitching.
17:15But double-digit wins blowing in.
17:16Wonder how many home runs we get.
17:18Maybe not a Christian Yelich right-field scoreboard shot is in order today, but you can still score runs at Wrigley even if the wind is blowing in.
17:25So something certainly to keep an eye on at that point.
17:28Cincinnati and L.A., they're going to tangle again on the West Coast in Anaheim.
17:31Nick Martinez will be on the mound for the Cincinnati Reds going up against Yusei.
17:35Kikuchi, 927, 928 on the rotation, a 938 start.
17:39Favorite towards L.A. tonight, 135s, 136, 137s in the marketplace in a total that's listed at 8 1⁄2.
17:46Kikuchi Martinez out on the West Coast.
17:50Yeah, we saw some early Cincinnati money in this one, but I'm shocked.
17:578 1⁄2, I'm not saying, you know, 9 maybe as a total.
18:00This feels like, and we know Kikuchi's slowing down as the season grows longer.
18:06His numbers are showing you a little more hard contact, a little more lift on the ball.
18:12I don't trust Nick Martinez.
18:15I do think both these teams are more than capable of putting the ball out of the ballpark there and scoring some runs.
18:21And you know as well as I do, that bullpen of the Reds, the only bullpen that might be worse is the Angels here.
18:29And I think both bullpens are going to get involved in this game, and I think the runs are coming.
18:33I think you're right.
18:34And I think you hit the nail on the head like Nick Martinez.
18:36You just can't trust the guy.
18:37Like, if he pitches seven innings, gives up one earned run, you're like, so be it, I got beat on that bet.
18:42But what's realistic, right?
18:43He's bounced before the fifth inning, three earned runs.
18:46In comes the bullpen.
18:47Nice weather in L.A. and things line up that way.
18:49And you say Kikuchi, last 45 days in Major League Baseball, does have a decent XFIT minus number.
18:54But that ERA, Joe, over a five.
18:56So you're right.
18:57Wearing down as the season goes on.
18:58Like, again, can you say Kikuchi be really this good?
19:00No, he can have good starts.
19:02He's not a great pitcher and may be starting to come back down to earth at that point.
19:06Houston and Detroit, a one o'clock game.
19:08And if you're playing terrible baseball, sometimes you just want to get back on the field as fast as you can to turn things around.
19:14We've had three straight games, which included an extra inning game,
19:17that the Houston Astros have not scored a run.
19:20Frambois Valdez is on the mound.
19:21So you figure, hey, guys, I can hold this team down.
19:23Six innings, two earned runs.
19:25Can you help me out?
19:26Charlie Morton's not a great pitcher.
19:27There's a reason why Houston is a favorite after having an absolute zero, literally zero, the past three nights.
19:35They're favored by about minus 126 to minus 130, depending on where you're shopping at this point now.
19:39And a total that's listed at eight to eight and a half.
19:42I don't think that eight and a half is popping in there because we don't think Houston's going to score.
19:45And also Detroit is going to light up Frambois Valdez.
19:48I think they're on to something.
19:49Those seven and a half to eights to eight and a halfs.
19:52I think that makes sense, Joe.
19:53I think we might get a sneaky game today where Houston comes out with the victory.
19:57Well, they're going to have to score more runs than they have the last three games, Johnny,
20:02because collectively in those games, they haven't scored a run.
20:0712-0 to Baltimore.
20:08They lost 10-0 to Detroit.
20:10And then 1-0, of course, last night.
20:13And Frambois, I don't know, is he getting tired here?
20:170-2 with a 5.89 ERA in three August starts.
20:22And the Astros have dropped, what, his past four?
20:25And you've got a Detroit team that hits lefties pretty darn well here.
20:30So we're going to need the bats to turn around in a big way.
20:34And good old Charlie Morton.
20:36Yeah, boy, I tell you, sometimes he just gets to be, you know, old and old looking.
20:41And I think maybe runs would be coming here today for both these teams.
20:46You're not shutting out Houston for a fourth straight game, or are you, Donny?
20:50That would be wild to watch.
20:52As, again, yesterday, this wasn't like a whitewash and we finished after five innings.
20:56It was rain.
20:56We had zero runs.
20:57They went to extra innings and still didn't score.
20:59Now, granted, we also joked yesterday, hey, when you're struggling at the plate,
21:02the last guy you want to see is a lefty like Tarek Skubal that's going to just mess with you the entire night.
21:07And they did that.
21:08So we'll see if they can clear the cobwebs against a hittable pitcher today that they're going to get on the mound.
21:1373, 74, 75 degrees as the afternoon goes on in Detroit today, Joe, with a double-digit wind blowing out to right field.
21:20And understand this.
21:21Sometimes you like to ride the streaks.
21:23Yes, Houston's been terrible.
21:24Just fade them.
21:25But you're only as good as the pitcher on the mound the next day.
21:27Understand this.
21:28You know, you look at Charlie Morton.
21:30That's not Tarek Skubal.
21:31That's not a left-handed pitcher.
21:32That's a right-handed pitcher that will give up runs.
21:34If you can't hit today for the Astros, something's got to change.
21:38I don't care if it's the manager or Jose Altuve is banished somewhere.
21:43Something has to change, but I do think it does change slightly today.
21:46So Major League Baseball card, that should be fun.
21:47A 1235 start, by the way, between Toronto and Pittsburgh.
21:50Then we get into the two 1 o'clock games in Philadelphia and in Detroit.
21:54And then one afternoon game at 340.
21:56Then the night slate does start here.
21:59Good action in Major League Baseball.
22:00We're going to reach out to the public and give best bets in the next segment.
22:04Stay tuned.
22:10Sending the people out with a winner.
22:12It's what we love to do, Joe Ranieri.
22:14So you're going to have Major League Baseball on your TV today.
22:17Where are you going with a wager on that said game?
22:19Well, I am going to go back to the well.
22:24And I had mentioned that, yes, I am not going to stop betting the Milwaukee Brewers,
22:31especially at this price when they have clear advantages on the Hill.
22:36And they got a big advantage here tonight with Mizorowski going up against Colin Ray of the Cubs here.
22:44Now, in fact, the last time he faced the Cubs, he actually only gave up, what, two earned runs?
22:50But he only went four innings because he took that line drive off the body,
22:55which is what caused him to get on the IL.
22:58But he's already faced this Cubs team.
23:01I like him to bounce back after his last start, the first start coming off the IL.
23:06Not to mention that you had Ashby throw, what, 50 pitchers yesterday out of the Brewers' bullpen,
23:12which means McGill, Uribe, Koenig, Mears, all ready to go here.
23:18The arms are in the bullpen.
23:20Big advantage for the Brewers.
23:23And Colin Ray is a number three, four starter here, guys.
23:26This is not the A's.
23:28This is not Imanaga or somebody along those lines.
23:31They don't have an advantage in the bullpen if he gets into trouble.
23:35We've only seen Milwaukee lose back-to-back games.
23:39They only did it one other time, and that was back in late July.
23:43They are not losing three games in a row and four out of their last five.
23:49I like the bats to come alive here.
23:51I like Milwaukee to handle business behind the rookie on the mound.
23:55I'm going to take a slight dog price today on a plus 110 on those athletics people.
24:00Hear me out.
24:00Bailey Ober, not a great pitcher, at home pitching today.
24:0338 batters he's faced in the past month, which were lefties, a .297 ISO,
24:07and a .368 weighted on base percentage.
24:09But understand this.
24:10The power numbers are fantastic for this athletics team.
24:13Nick Kurtz, Shea Langeleers, Brent Rooker, Tyler Soderstrom, Lawrence Butler,
24:17and J.J. Bledet.
24:18Most of those are left-handed batters.
24:21Absolutely hammers.
24:22And by the way, Nick Kurtz leading off.
24:2464 plate appearances, Joe, over the past month against right-handed pitching.
24:27How about a .519 ISO and a .687 weighted on base percentage?
24:31They'll score runs.
24:32They'll win today.
24:33I'm taking the plus money.
24:34And away we go on our 2-0 day right here on the Early Line Joe.
24:38Sending people out winners.
24:41After a two-hour show, Talc gets done.
24:43Talc keep the energy high.
