00:00How about this game?

00:00Are we getting runs with a nine total at Citi Field?

00:03Early start, 1-10 Eastern.

00:05Big game for the Padres.

00:07Big game for the Mets.

00:08Vasquez is on the mound going up against Tong.

00:10Now, if you look at this game overall, you say, all right,

00:13when I bring Tong up here, how's he going to do?

00:14First three starts, five innings pitched, one earned run,

00:19but he gave up four runs total, only one of those earned.

00:21Start number two at Cincinnati, six innings pitched, four runs,

00:25all four of those earned.

00:26Like, all right, slipping a little bit.

00:28Third start here against Texas at home.

00:31Two-thirds of an innings pitched, six earned runs.

00:35And look at this, for Mr. Vasquez, his road starts on the season, Joe.

00:39Last on the car with an XFIP number of a 5.73 today through 60 innings pitched.

00:44We're getting runs today early at Citi Field.

00:49Yeah, I mean, outside of that little two-game winning streak,

00:52I mean, the Mets have lost nine of their last 11 games here.

00:58It has been – and the hilarious part is nobody who's been chasing them

01:02has been able to take advantage of what's going on here when you think about it.

01:07So, I don't know.

01:08The Mets are – you know, they're a falling knife to me.

01:12They are very hard to back.

01:13But I do think, to your point, what we might get here are some runs,

01:18and maybe a lot of them.

01:19So, I might be looking at a first five over in this one here, Donnie,

01:24because the Mets got to come out swinging.

01:25They got to come out hot here, and I think they will against Vasquez here.

01:30So, I'm going to look at the – at the very least,

01:32the team total over for the Mets as well.

01:34So, I'm going to look at the Mets.
