00:00210 from the Windy City. Hint, hint, the wind is blowing out and we're not at Wrigley. This is a

00:05game between the Twins and the Chicago White Sox. Taj Bradley on the mound for the Twins going up

00:09against Gomes. 919, 920 on the rotation of 210 starters. We said totals across the board, Tom,

00:14at nine, but a favorite here for Minnesota. But overnight, minus 135s, they're not there anymore.

00:20Minus 125s, minus 120s, minus 115s in the sports betting landscape right now as the favorite Twins

00:26here on the mound with Taj Bradley. On the mound with Taj Bradley making his Twins debut. He

00:32pitched, obviously, for the Rays this entire season, was traded at the deadline. He has not

00:37pitched in the majors since July 23rd. He was in the minors with the Twins. And looking at some of

00:42his minor league numbers over three starts at 14.1 innings pitch, he had a 7.53 ERA. Obviously,

00:49his XFIP was significantly better than that at 3.32. But does that really matter if he's not in

00:54form right now? And he has a 7-year array in the minors, he's going to come up. Now, granted,

00:59this is theoretically a soft landing spot because he is facing the White Sox. But Donnie, as you said,

01:04there was 16 mile power wind blowing out in Chicago at White Sox. What is this? Mid-70s,

01:11low to mid-70s. So it's not ideal temperature, but the wind is fantastic. Bradley, I don't think he's

01:18going to come up and be like, oh, this was the prospect the Rays thought they had. And he strikes

01:21out 10 against the White Sox. I think they get some runs across the board. I'm not seeing their

01:25lineup out just yet. But Tauchman, Vargas, Teal, Sosa, Montgomery, and Robert, like,

01:32they're not going to crush today. But give me four or five runs from them, maybe.
