00:00It's probably popping on the plane last night for the Chicago Cubs

00:02as they clinched yesterday in Pittsburgh.

00:04A playoff spot got on a plane headed to Cincinnati.

00:07Cincinnati dying for one of those playoff spots.

00:09Hunter Green versus Colin Ray on the mound today.

00:12Light favorite here for the Reds at a minus 130 price up to,

00:15but it looks like between minus 125s and minus 130s,

00:18depending where you're shopping at.

00:18And the total, that's listed at nine.

00:20Colin Ray's road starts this year, Joe.

00:2254 in the third innings pitched.

00:24A 4.86 XF number, which is in that danger category.

00:27Looking for maybe that jet lag hungover.

00:29We had too many beers and celebrated last night because again,

00:33Chicago is not going to chase down the Milwaukee Brewers difference that we

00:36talked about the Philadelphia Phillies. Hey, great.

00:37We clinched our division here,

00:39but we still got to chase down a team in front of us here.

00:41What are the expectations for you from a roster perspective,

00:44even for the Cubs today?

00:46Yeah. I mean, listen, it's again,

00:50the Cubs have had success against Pittsburgh all year long.

00:53In fact, I think they went 10 and three against them this year.

00:56So it was the right series at the right time for Chicago to finally get that

01:01post-season birth, something they have not had since 2020, Donnie.

01:06So, yeah, I do think maybe a little bit of celebration here.

01:10Colin Ray on the mound for the Cubs.

01:13The good news for the Reds is that they finally won a game in St.

01:16Louis there.

01:17That game was yesterday afternoon as well.

01:20So they were able to get home.

01:21They've been here and they see what's going on with the Mets.

01:26In fact, there's probably a good shot, Donnie,

01:28that they will know the outcome of the Mets game when they start that game.

01:33And boy,

01:34if the Mets lose and you got Hunter Green on the mound and you can't win.

01:38And by the way,

01:39Hunter Green got lit up last go around there out West.

01:43So let's hope he's a little bit better today.

01:45If you're a Reds backer.
