00:00Game number two, San Diego and Chicago.
00:02I'll tell you, watching that game yesterday, Joe, you know,
00:04guys didn't hit with runners in scoring position.
00:06That's one thing.
00:06And yes, we did have a couple solo home runs from Chicago,
00:09but there was a lot of baseballs hit to the warning track yesterday
00:12where the wind was blowing in and really affected it.
00:14Today, again, the wind is going to be blowing in.
00:17Same sort of temperatures as we saw yesterday,
00:19around eight to 10 miles per hour.
00:20Seats versus Kittredge on the mound and a opening number of around a minus 120 price.
00:25You'll see the graphic there.
00:26Now we're down to minus 112s through minus 110s, depending where you're shopping at.
00:30And the total, Joe, that opened up at seven,
00:32automatically bet down to six and a half again today.
00:35Are the Padres going to stave off elimination?
00:37Are the Cubs bullpen just too much for those Padres bats?
00:41Well, I mean, Kittredge is going to open.
00:43Imanaga is set for the bulk relief.
00:45So everyone needs to understand that the lefty will be coming in
00:49and trying to shut him down.
00:51And he's had a problem with the home run ball this season here.
00:55He's not nearly as good as he was a year ago.
00:58But I am fascinated with the Dylan Cease move here, Donnie.
01:02And I think because there were question marks heading into this post.
01:06Like, was he even going to make the roster?
01:09Were they going to utilize him?
01:10Because he's been horrific this year, especially on the road here.
01:15But I think what they're thinking is, the Padres, there is no tomorrow, right, Donnie?
01:20So that bullpen, they'll come in in a heartbeat.
01:24Second inning, third inning, they will unload that bullpen to win this game at all costs.
01:29So if they can get, I think anything they can get from Dylan Cease past the third inning,
01:34I think is gravy for them at that point.
01:37And I think that's how they're approaching it.
01:38But feels like another low-scoring game here.
01:41So that's how they're approaching it.
