00:00Let's get back to Tampa.

00:01Scene of the crime last night, Joe.

00:02Hammered the New York Yankees.

00:04They won easy last night.

00:05Nine home runs.

00:07And now we see Rasmussen on the mound, who has very good statistics here over the past month,

00:10going up against Schlitter.

00:12If you look at the lines, a slight favorite overnight to Tampa Bay.

00:15Depending where you're shopping at, it's still 116s, 118s, and 120s as a favorite towards Tampa.

00:20And an eight and a half total.

00:22Is anything changing your mind today?

00:23Or the Yankees bats just stay smoking hot in Tampa, and away they go.

00:26Well, Rasmussen has kind of been the guy for Tampa, right?

00:31I mean, he has been the guy that when they need a good start, keep the runs down.

00:37He has kind of been the guy to do that.

00:39However, yeah, I don't know with the way the Yankees are hitting right now.

00:44I mean, over the last week, they got over a 150 WRC plus.

00:49You got Judge hitting what?

00:51Three home runs in his last six games.

00:53And Yankees in that ballpark.

00:55Now, the only problem you're looking at is that the Yankees know what's coming up this week.

00:59Boston back in the Bronx, which is a big series.

01:03But how are we sweating out an under in this game in any way, shape, or form?

01:07It feels like over might be the look, especially since the bullpen for Tampa yesterday had to be called in

01:15because they were throwing batting practice there, Shane Boz, last night.

01:19So it feels like runs could be coming, and a lot of them in this game again.
