00:00You know, the other two teams fighting for playoff spots.

00:02The Phillies look like they have the NL East all but wrapped up with a nine-game lead.

00:06And we sit here on September the 10th.

00:08They're going up against Clay Holmes tonight, but they got their ace on the mound.

00:11Christopher Sanchez, heavy favorite for the Phillies, Joe, in that middle of the minus-170s.

00:15You see the placard coming up there to minus-172.

00:17We're as high as minus-176 at DraftKings right now in a total, which opened up at eight.

00:22That's now dropped across the board at just about every outlet to seven and a half now.

00:26Holmes versus Sanchez.

00:27Do the Phillies break out the bats once again and embarrass the Mets and have a 10-game lead

00:32when it's all said and done tonight, Joe?

00:33Do they?

00:35Well, again, it's the lesser split for the Mets.

00:38They're not great against left-handed pitching.

00:40We saw that last night with especially elite left-handers like Ranger Suarez last night.

00:45Well, what are you going to get now from Christopher Sanchez, who is what?

00:49I mean, when you look at his last couple of starts, Donnie, he has been absolutely lights out here.

00:55And, yeah, got to give the edge to Philadelphia early.

00:59And that would be another first five for Philly for me, jumping all over the Mets pitching.
