00:00Baseball giving us one of the better World Series we've seen here.
00:02We're headed to Game 6 and a possible Game 7,
00:05which would take place, I believe, on Saturday night in Toronto.
00:07But Friday night at 8 o'clock, Yamamoto, Mr. Complete Game,
00:12goes up against Kevin Galsman.
00:13And once again, the Dodgers are a favorite.
00:15Anywhere between minus 140 to minus 154,
00:18depending on where you're shopping at, and a total of 7.5.
00:21It's never too early to talk.
00:23Game number 6 of the World Series with the Toronto Blue Jays
00:26with the hammer looking to clinch the World Series.
00:30Tomorrow night.
00:30What's the spread line for this one?
00:33Well, it's interesting.
00:34Back to 7.5.
00:35So last night, of course, because the Dodgers couldn't score more than one run,
00:40it did land under, even though Toronto did their part here.
00:44I'm just wondering, at what point do the Blue Jays start getting a little more love?
00:49Is this not a pick-em game, Donnie?
00:51I'm shocked they're still a buck-50 favorite here.
00:54I don't care who they're throwing.
00:56They're with their backs against the wall, hitting 200 as a team in the World Series.
01:00Seems like there's plenty of value on the Jays still.
01:03World Series game number 6.
01:04It's not tonight on a Thursday night.
01:06We got action on the gridiron that we have to get to.
01:08But understand this.
01:09It will take place on a Friday night at 8 p.m.
01:11And my goodness, the fans of Toronto are certainly going to be excited.
01:14Last time we saw them win a World Series, went back in that 92, 93 back-to-back World Championships.
01:19Joe Carter breaking the hearts of many, including myself.
01:22And by the way, for the people out there that understand, like, hey, Donnie,
01:25how could you go to sleep last night, you know, 8 o'clock before that game started?
01:28Well, I got to rise and grind and make sure we're on our P's and Q's and my energy is high.
01:32Did you know, also, I had fallen asleep before Joe Carter hit that home run back in 1993?
01:37Did you know that, Joe?
01:38How about that piece of memory?
01:41You couldn't stay back then either as a teenager.
01:44Yeah, yeah.
01:45Well, it could have been worse, Donnie.
01:46You know, they could have started at, I don't know, 10 o'clock East Coast.
01:50And you really would have never had to worry.
01:52You could have woke up in the morning and still the game been going on.
01:56So, yeah, it's tough sledding here for those that have to do the early shifts here
02:01around the country.
02:03Yeah, I was a sophomore in high school in a weekend game, and I still couldn't stay up.
02:06And one of the biggest moments of the most fun teams I ever watched was the 93 Phillies.
02:10So, there, don't get mad at me for falling asleep now as a 48-year-old
02:13trying to get ready for these Major League Baseball games.
02:15But, again, the bull will be won tomorrow, Joe.
02:17And looking at those opening lines, right around a minus 140 price, the Dodgers opened up,
02:21but the money started pouring in once again.
02:23Minus 155, minus 150 is in the marketplace now, and a total of seven and a half.
02:27Yamamoto is Mr. Complete Game.
02:29And it almost feels like right now he's going to have to be perfect
02:32because Toronto, they hit mistakes, Joe, and that's how they're winning these ballgames.
02:37Yeah, and now, I mean, listen, if you're looking at the Dodgers
02:41and laying that money on the road in Toronto again, because it's all advantage Toronto.
02:46And, by the way, this is your World Series, Toronto, Game 6.
02:50You do not want this going to a Game 7, Donny, because we know anything is possible.
02:56So, you have the momentum.
02:58You have the opportunity.
02:59The Dodgers have the right guy on the mound.
03:02They're ace to try to stave off elimination.
03:05But the only way I'm betting the Dodgers isn't because I think they're going to go out there
03:08and crush Gaussman.
03:10It's simply because I believe Yamamoto is going to do again what he did earlier in this series,
03:15which was, what, go eight, nine innings and stifle that lineup?
03:19That's a big ask for a guy a second time that the lineup is going to see him.
03:24By the way, also, you take a look at the excitement for the game.
03:27No surprise here.
03:28Game number six.
03:29Get in prices, Joe.
03:31At least two Gs.
03:33And that's not like, hey, I'm sitting behind a home plate to watch this game.
03:35No, you're in the upper deck at this point.
03:38You know what I find interesting as well is,
03:40what are those hotel rooms in center field actually going for for Game 6 on a Friday night?
03:46Like, let's just say Toronto's out of town.
03:47It's out of baseball season, probably a couple hundred bucks.
03:50Are we looking at like 25 Gs, 30 Gs for those hotel rooms that you can pack in?
03:56I can guarantee you, Donnie, that the people who are actually have those rooms reserved
04:02don't care how much it costs, nor does it matter to them how much it costs.
04:07So they will more than enough be able to afford those rooms.
04:11And guess what?
04:12The Rogers Center knows it.
04:13So that's why it's probably, you know, upwards of 10 grand a night there.
04:16By the way, let me ask you this question because, you know, sometimes you stumble on things.
04:21The beginning of the season, yeah, I mean, Toronto's supposed to be a competitive team
04:24on a year-to-year basis, right?
04:25But is somebody like a non-baseball fan, hey, you know what?
04:29I'm going to visit my in-laws here.
04:31Hey, you know what?
04:32Be really neat.
04:33Let's just stay at this hotel.
04:34It's a couple hundred bucks a night.
04:35We'll book that for the day before Halloween.
04:38Bring the kids up there.
04:39See if we can celebrate and have some fun.
04:40And then wind up with that hotel reservation that you could sell at 50 to 100 times what
04:47you got that for.
04:48There's got to be some of that luck, isn't it?
04:50Like, yeah, I can't even believe I booked this year for this night.
04:52It's game six.
04:53Or even, Joe, game six and game seven.
04:56Like, we're here for the weekend.
04:57We booked Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night where you can make like $50,000 if you just
05:03give that room up each one of those nights.
05:05Yeah, kind of crazy, Donnie, right?
05:08Absolutely kind of crazy.
05:10But hey, like you said, though, Toronto, there isn't going to be a bad place to be in Toronto
05:16for game six.
05:17That city will absolutely be celebrating that game six.
05:22And if they win it, they will be partying well into the night.
05:25That is for sure.
05:26I got to tell you, I do feel bad because sometimes you set yourself up for being a spectacular night.
05:31And sometimes you set yourself up for absolute devastation and heartbreak.
05:36I remember back watching the Philadelphia Eagles.
05:38This was in the early months of 2003.
05:41It was the 2002 NFC Championship game at the Vet, which I sat there in the freezing cold
05:45against a team we beat blindly all the time at the Vet.
05:48That was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
05:49That set up as being one of the best days of my life to start and end up being maybe
05:53the single worst day in the history of my sports fandom.
05:56And I can only imagine if you're Toronto and you get to a game number seven and it's close
06:00late in that game, Joe, and they lose going, how did we do that?
06:03We had six and seven.
06:04The place was electric.
06:05The vibes were here.
06:06We just couldn't win that.
06:07So I hope for the scene in Toronto.
06:09Knock off the Dodgers, man.
06:10And don't make it into a game number seven.
06:12But for me as a fan, Joe, make that into game number seven.
06:15How about that?
06:17All right.
06:17Listen, I mean, it would be fantastic, buddy.
06:20I'm putting a little extra pressure on myself if I'm the Blue Jays because the hardest
06:25game to win, Donnie, is the last one, right?
06:28The clinching one, but you got to get it done because we all know game sevens, as great
06:33as they are for the fans, it is a toss up game no matter what.
06:38So, and then it's all hands on deck at that point once again.
06:41So this is, to me, you need to end this now, Toronto.
06:46Tomorrow night, you need to win the game and walk off because quite honestly, the only team,
06:51the last team, Donnie, to win back to back multiple championships in a row.
06:55It's so hard to do where the 98 through 2000 Yankees team.
07:00And that's one of the greatest teams ever put together.
07:03So, yeah, I'm sorry, Dodgers.
07:05Money just can't buy championships.
07:07It did last year.
07:09Doesn't look like it's going to do it this year, does it?
07:11By the way, I have a decision to make on this series, Joe, because we talked about this
07:15yesterday and I said, you know what I was actually hoping for?
07:17A Toronto Blue Jays victory because then I wanted to come back and take the Dodgers.
07:21And we were trying to figure out like what that price point was going to be.
07:24It's much harder than I thought it would be.
07:26Like the Dodgers are almost getting plus 200 to win this series.
07:30Now, again, if you put it in the odds market, the Dodgers are a favorite to win game number
07:33six, which would get to a game number seven.
07:35And I guarantee you, the Dodgers would be favorite again.
07:37I'm just thinking I'm willing to pull that trigger or has the luck run out on the Dodgers
07:42and Toronto is just too good.
07:43But that's something like you look at those price points, Joe, minus 240 plus 198.
07:47I got to tell you, man, the Dodgers still is enticing now at that price point.
07:50Well, it gives a great hedging opportunity for anybody that's holding Blue Jays tickets.
07:56That's for sure.
07:57So if you add Blue Jays tickets and you want to hedge out, now would be the time because
08:02if this goes to a game seven, you're not going to get two to one on the Dodgers.
08:06I'm going to show you that.
