00:00You can't have home field advantage and lose your first two games

00:03and then go on the road and expect to handle your business.

00:05That's what we're seeing between the Blue Jays and the Mariners.

00:07If we take a look quickly here at the series prices where that one sits,

00:10it's a minus 600 price on Seattle and a plus 450 price on the Blue Jays.

00:15Why? Because as we just stated, three straight games are going to be played here

00:18in the Pacific Northwest up there for the home of the Mariners.

00:21And if we take a look at the starting pitchers tonight, 8-0-8 start,

00:24it's Bieber versus Kirby.

00:26The total opened up, Joe, six and a half.

00:27It's now sevens across the board, but still a favorite for Seattle.

00:31Minus 120 prices, they're growing.

00:33Minus 135s, minus 138s in the marketplace.

00:36I understand Toronto needs a victory.

00:38Easier said than done.

00:39Seattle just seems like they have Toronto's number right now with a cheap price.

00:43I don't know if this is going to be my best bet today,

00:45but I'm sort of on that wavelength, Joe, where I don't want to outsmart myself.

00:48The Dodgers are getting unbelievable starting pitching,

00:50and right now they're better than the Brewers.

00:51They won 5-1 yesterday.

00:53It feels like you should just be taking Seattle on the spot

00:55because they are the better baseball team.

00:57And also, Toronto's on the road in a true pitcher's ballpark,

01:01not a hitter's ballpark like they're used to at home.

01:03Yeah.

01:04Well, you know, the only saving grace I'd say, Donnie,

01:07is that why did you make this trade at the deadline, Toronto?

01:11You made a trade to get Bieber for what?

01:14For this right here, this moment right here.

01:17The reason you went out and got him was for this game.

01:20So he is more than capable of going down and shutting down a lineup here,

01:26and that's exactly what he is going to need to do

01:28to give the bats of Toronto an opportunity to get back into this series.

01:32Again, it's a seven-game series, Donnie,

01:34but it feels like it's now or never for Toronto.

01:37Well, you know, I'm going to go out.

01:37You know, I'm going to go out.

01:38You know, I'm going to go out.

01:39You know, I'm going to go out.
