00:00Right here in the NLEs, Jake Irvin's on the mound.

00:02Woo-hoo, boy!

00:04Going up against that Phillies lineup, and again, Ranger Suarez,

00:06the starting pitcher, 135 first pitch.

00:08This line overnight, Tom, was above 300, minus 310 as a favorite.

00:11It has come back here, minus 290s, minus 285s, even some minus 275s showing up.

00:16Still, a massive favorite for the Phillies.

00:18The total opened up at 9.5.

00:19It still sits at 9.5.

00:21A nice day in Philadelphia, and the Phillies have been bringing the bats

00:24for the past week here.

00:25Started, I think, with last Sunday.

00:27We had the early Philadelphia Phillies game, I believe.

00:30On the Sunday, with the Phillies, we're bashing right away

00:31with Aaron Nola's first start back.

00:33He actually got bashed in this game, but the Phillies won.

00:35The Phillies have been bashing away over the past week, as I've said.

00:38Do they continue, Tom, to bash away today?

00:42The Phillies' team total right now is 5.5, minus 120.

00:45Yes.

00:46If they don't go over 5.5, considering how they've been playing

00:50and considering the matchup, I will be legitimately shocked.

00:54Multiple times this week, we have seen them push to not just like,

00:58oh, and it's like 15, 20 hits that you're pushing to in some of these games.

01:04So, Phillies' team total over 5.5, minus 120, I think is a fantastic play today.

01:08Going about it in terms of a player prop, there are so many different ways to attack it.

01:13The Phillies' lineup is officially out.

01:16The normal set that way, Turner, Schwarber, Harbour, Bohm, Castanos, Marsh, Bader, Scott,

01:21and Rafi Marsh, if that's how you pronounce his last name.

01:24But the way Jake Irvin has been pitching, 6, 6, 3, 5, 2, 5 earned runs

01:30in his last stretch of starts is terrible.

01:33I don't care that Suarez is a favorite in this.

01:37If I'm betting on this, it's because the Phillies' offense is going to come through

01:40and they're going to pour in eight runs or whatever.

01:42I think it's a bloodbath to me.
