00:00We're going to start in Detroit.

00:01It's the Tigers and the Guardians.

00:03Detroit wins.

00:04They move on.

00:05Cleveland wins.

00:06Game number three tomorrow from Cleveland.

00:08Line opened up here around that minute 120s range.

00:11Still sitting there, Joe.

00:12Minus 124s.

00:13Minus 132s out there in the sports landscape.

00:15And yet another low total of six and a half.

00:18Mize versus Bybee.

00:20Are the numbers too low now, Joe, that we don't have a scoobal start?

00:26I am shocked that the total opened up at seven, Donnie,

00:29and then it was quickly bet down to six and a half.

00:31And listen, it makes sense.

00:32Again, two of the worst offenses in Major League Baseball down the stretch here.

00:39And listen, the Guardians have been terrible.

00:41We know this all year long.

00:43It's an anemic offense.

00:44This starting pitching has been absolutely dominant in the second half,

00:50going to a six-man rotation, giving guys a little extra rest,

00:54and it paid off for them.

00:55They were able to get to this point.

00:57But don't expect a ton of runs, even against Mize in this spot.

01:01And Bybee has been great at home down the stretch here.

01:06He's always been a better pitcher at home than he's been on the road.

01:08And the biggest fault of this Tigers lineup, Donnie,

01:11is they can't hit right-handed pitching.

01:14They hit lefties better, which will be interesting,

01:16because if the Guardians win today, who do they throw tomorrow?

01:21Is it going to be – are they going to cobble together a bullpen right-handed game,

01:24or are they going to go with the lefties?

01:26So – but right now, again, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

01:30Nothing these two teams have done offensively should lead anybody to believe

01:34this is the breakout game.

01:36I don't think it is.
