00:00And then they calm the waters.

00:01Why?

00:01The Braves come to town to pick up a couple victories.

00:03By the way, it's a four-game series.

00:05Looking for a four-game sweep over the Braves.

00:06The New York Mets, on the other hand, struggling with the Marlins,

00:09which now puts the Phillies back up six games in the NL East.

00:13The Marlins 15 games back, so it is the Phillies and the Mets.

00:16But for once, it looked like the Phillies could shut the door

00:18on the Mets in their three-game series.

00:19They get swept.

00:20Then the Mets don't play good baseball.

00:22The Phillies turned the gas back on, and they got that six-game lead.

00:25I can't figure out the NL East, man.

00:26It's crazy.

00:28It really is.

00:29I would say, based on what happened with the Mets in these past two days,

00:34I think the Phillies have it locked up at this point.

00:36If the Mets were able to win those two games and kind of hold serve,

00:39you could say going into the final week, you could be like, okay,

00:42the Mets actually have a chance now because they're rolling.

00:46You beat the Phillies, great, but if you didn't drop two to the Marlins

00:49or really drop two to any team that's below 500, that's a bad sign.

00:53When it comes to the Phillies, again, I think the Wheeler injury

00:57is obviously massive, but I do see that I think we can look back

01:01and be like, this is a rallying moment for the team,

01:03knowing how good he was this season, knowing that you still have pitchers

01:07to step up in his place like Chris Sanchez, who's been great this year.

01:10This is a rallying moment for the team to say, hey, we can still win this.

01:13It's a big loss, but we're still a great team,

01:15and we can push forward into October,

01:17which I still think is one of the best rotations,

01:19not the best in baseball, but one of the best.

01:22Yeah, you take a look yesterday's game too,

01:24down to your final out in extra innings.

01:26A base knock by Trey Turner scores two runs.

01:28Nick Castellanos comes around with the game winner,

01:30and they come away with that victory.

01:31But it's the Phillies, and did you know,

01:33runs scored this season between the Mets and the Philadelphia Phillies,

01:35649 to 649.

01:38Coming down the stretch, we are here in the month of September.

01:40Central Division, Tom, winners of two games straight,

01:42the Brewers, winners of two games straight,

01:44the Chicago Cubs, six and a half games back in the standings

01:47are those Cubbies here, the Brewers.

01:50Every single day, I look at that lineup, Tom,

01:52and I don't care who's going up against them.

01:54I feel like I just need to take multiple players

01:56because everybody feels like they're clutch on the Brewers.

02:00They've been clutch, and, you know,

02:03reinforcements came at the right time

02:04because Jackson Churio got activated off of IEL yesterday.

02:08He had a home run to help them win the game.

02:10So, you know, the rich get richer, right?

02:13Where they've been playing great ball.

02:15The Cubs, it's great to see Kyle Tucker back,

02:17and he's actually playing really well as a league,

02:19but I think the gap is too big to overcome.

02:21Brewers have this locked up.

02:23Cubs will make the playoffs,

02:24but again, who they play in that first round

02:26is going to be absolutely crucial.

02:29Yeah, but the Cubs bat so on fire to start the season.

02:32If they can get any semblance of that, Tom,

02:34in the month of September,

02:35they'd be a fun team to watch and bet

02:37once they hit the playoffs at this point.

02:39But runs scored there, you never would think it.

02:41699 runs scored for the Milwaukee Brewers.

02:43This is supposed to be a team that wins every game

02:442-1, 3-1.

02:45That's not the case, man.

02:46And again, non-household names

02:48starting to turn into household names.

02:50That is a fun team to watch

02:51because if they're down three runs,

02:52doesn't matter.

02:53If they're down seven runs,

02:54it doesn't matter.

02:55If they're up four runs,

02:56oh no, we can still hold on to this lead.

02:58The Milwaukee Brewers,

02:59certainly a lot of fun to watch.

03:00They're a minus 2,000 price

03:01to win the Central Division.

03:03By the way, the Philadelphia Phillies

03:04over the Mets, minus 1,500.

03:06100.

03:07100.
