00:00It seems like the heavyweights, the Seattle Mariners and the ALCS,

00:03they crushed the Toronto Blue Jays before they head back over to Seattle

00:07and take care of their home field advantage.

00:09But also, Adam, I want to talk about that Dodgers-Brewers game last night.

00:12Two to one final, one of the craziest plays you are ever going to see,

00:15which the Dodgers just got caught up in the excitement

00:18and caused a double play.

00:19What did you see last night from the two Major League Baseball games?

00:21You mean you've never seen an 8-6-2 double play before?

00:25That thing was outrageous, obviously.

00:27And I know there were a lot of people that were thinking about the over in that game

00:33that probably point to that play, right?

00:35I mean, you've got a ball that looks like it might go over the wall.

00:38You've got the bases loaded for the Dodgers.

00:39I mean, you could make the case that L.A. should have scored three, four, five runs

00:43at least in that game, and they wind up with two barely,

00:47thanks to getting walked in for what was eventually the winning run in the ninth inning.

00:52So the offenses just weren't there in that first game last night.

00:56I think that's going to be different, despite the pitching matchup in this next game tonight.

01:00Yamamoto against Peralta, two guys that obviously both had excellent regular seasons.

01:05I do think we're going to get runs in this one.

01:07I'd play the over 7.5.

01:09I mean, I don't love it.

01:10It's not a best bet or what have you,

01:14but I think that ultimately the offenses are going to wake up for both of these teams,

01:18and it'll do enough, you know, to get us to, I would have felt better with the seven

01:23before it moved to seven and a half, but, you know, over seven and a half at even money,

01:27I think is appealing.

01:29You know, if we wind up at, let's say, a 5-3 Dodgers final, you know,

01:33you get a little offensive run support out of both teams.

01:36I think that the hook is going to be pretty quick on Yamamoto.

01:40Now, obviously, if he is absolutely dealing, there's no reason to take him out.

01:46He could go six innings, but when Blake Snell goes eight shutout, allows one hit,

01:52you know, the overarching sentiment there is you're in Milwaukee, you're up 1-0.

01:57Yeah, you'd be content with a split going back home, but you're 3-0 on the road.

02:01You want to win both, take that stranglehold of the series going back to L.A.

02:06The second, if he does, Yamamoto gets into any trouble, you have an incredibly rested bullpen.

02:11So I'd look toward the under on his outs.

02:14It was 17 and a half. I've seen it move to 16 and a half.

02:17I'd still go under on that.

02:18You know, I'd stay away from the K prop, obviously, with that in mind.

02:21But I think that both these teams, they're just, they're going to be a little bit,

02:26it's not the right word, but a little hungrier, if you know what I mean.

02:29And I think the offense is going to be just a little more palatable

02:32than what we saw in that 2-1 game last night.

02:36Well, we already got one series 2-0.

02:39Dodgers win tonight, it's 2-0.

02:41How long do you think these series go here?

02:44Is this a 5-6 game series for the Dodgers?

02:48And can Toronto get it back?

02:51I think it's 6 at best for both.

02:53I don't think either series is going 7.

02:55I mean, I liked Seattle going into the series.

02:59I think most people probably did.

03:01But, you know, where I was wrong about this one is,

03:04and I know, I feel like we were all wrong.

03:06Like, we were all on the wrong side of this thing.

03:08Everyone expected Toronto, just off of that extra inning game,

03:12the 15-inning game that Seattle had to play to even get into this round,

03:17that Toronto was going to steamroll in game one.

03:20Instead, lifeless offense, two hits after the leadoff home run,

03:23the one hit and fell short in a low-scoring game,

03:26and then Seattle emphatically obviously wins game two.

03:30I think once you take two in Toronto, and now you're going back home,

03:33you're already the better team.

03:34No, I think five, maybe six games, but Toronto is done already.

03:40Toronto out the door, and I'll tell you this here,

03:42we got Adam Kaufman's picks here.

03:44Over 7.5 runs tonight.

03:45The Dodgers' money line, Peralta over 5.5 games.

03:48And Yamamoto under 16.5 out.

03:51Let's get him that early line excitement and win all of those games.

03:54Adam, thanks for rising and grinding with us.

03:57You are a few moments away from getting our bye-bye-bye picks.

04:00The best of the day guaranteed to cash in, right?

04:02Well, Friday night doubleheader sweep, Monday night doubleheader sweep.

04:05Could it be a Tuesday doubleheader sweep heading into hump day Wednesday?

04:08We'll find out in just a little bit.

04:10But this is always the time of the show that we like to reach out to the public

04:12and ask them what their opinion is on a certain question.

04:16Here's our fave, the public poll.

04:17Come on now.

04:26Get over to X.

04:27Follow at SportsGrid here so you can get these questions delivered to you each and every morning.

04:32The question today was simple, like we like to ask in the morning.

04:35Who is your favorite to win the World Series this year?

04:38There's four teams that we picked.

04:39Why?

04:40There's only four teams left.

04:41It's the Dodgers at a minus 135 price point.

04:44The Mariners at a plus 175 price point.

04:46The Brewers plus 850 and the Blue Jays down 0-2 at a 13-1 price.

04:52For me, I did take the Dodgers.

04:54I thought they would win their game yesterday, and they did.

04:56They have a 1-0 series lead.

04:57Yamamoto's on the mound today.

04:58But if we look at these two, the poll, Joe, updated numbers.

05:02The Dodgers, 40%.

05:04The Mariners, 41%.

05:07The Mariners at the plus 175 coming in for the public.

05:11Are you fading the public or backing the public today, Joe?

05:13Well, I mean, the Mariners are going to be that trendy dog, Donnie.

05:19We know nobody likes the big bad wolf to win it every year, but the Dodgers are the champions

05:25until somebody beats them.

05:28And right now, I will say with that starting pitching staff, the biggest issue for me with

05:34them is going to be that bullpen.

05:36But I got to worry that Seattle, maybe that bullpen is pitching its best, and will that

05:43be it, enough to get past Toronto, but will it be enough to beat the Dodgers?

05:49I don't think so.

05:50I still think it's the Dodgers.

05:52It's the Dodgers to defend and go back-to-back and surprise me.

05:58I'd be more than happy to say, congratulations, Seattle in public, but I just don't see that

06:03happening.

06:04Now, I wonder if Gabe, we know, is a big Los Angeles Dodgers fan, but also loves his Blue

06:09Jays.

06:10Who did he vote for?

06:10Dodgers minus 135, and he'd go to 13 to 1 price on the Blue Jays.

06:14What do you think in there?

06:15Sure.

06:15Which one?

06:15He went Dodgers?

06:16He's firing Dodgers.

06:17And also, over-under, will Gabe attend a World Series game if the Dodgers make it in?

06:22By the way, if the Dodgers make it in, is he just going to go to Seattle?

06:25That could be interesting for Gabe, huh?

06:27Oh, that's a good point, too, as well.

06:29Yes, that's a good poll question.

06:31We should throw that up there tomorrow, by the way.

06:34Seattle in the Dodgers is a game.

06:35I like it.

06:36Yep.

06:36He's going, for me, I'm just going to keep it simple in Major League Baseball.

06:40What I've watched from the Dodgers starting pitching staff throughout these first two series

06:43and now into the NLCS has been incredible.

06:46And I think Yamamoto is going to continue that trend tonight and have a dominant performance.

06:49You are talking like a lot of ticket counts coming in on the Dodgers.

06:53I understand that.

06:54The Dodgers lineup 1-9 is better.

06:55The Dodgers starting pitching tonight is better.

06:58The only question that Joe always brings up, as well as I do, is if that bullpen can hang

07:01on.

07:01They almost blew the game last night, but they didn't.

07:04I'm going to take the Dodgers tonight.

07:05You give me a cheap price at minus 125, I'm taking them again to take a 2-0 series lead.

07:10So two games tonight, one baseball, one college football.

07:13The angle is to go 2-0.

07:15Let's see if we can make it three straight days of 2-0 for our best bets, Joe.

07:19What do you think about that?

07:20I'm feeling it, Donnie.

07:22If it ain't broke, we ain't fixing it here on the early line.

07:27And it ain't broke, and we'll fix it once again if it is broke tomorrow morning.
