00:00Let's flip it over to Major League Baseball on a Friday.
00:03And always tradition there in the Windy City.
00:04If the Cubs are home, they're going to play in the afternoon.
00:06It's a 2-20 start here on a Friday.
00:08Senga and the Mets taking on Cabrera and the Cubs.
00:11Why is this game important?
00:12Well, the Mets want to win a game.
00:13Maybe it feels like this month.
00:15Could they do it today?
00:16They're not the favorite.
00:17A minus 142 price overnight still sticking around.
00:20Minus 142 as you see the graphic.
00:23The total is jumping up, Joe, from 9.5 to 10.5.
00:26We know what the reason is.
00:27Wind blowing out double digits in Wrigley.
00:30Can the Mets finally get a win?
00:31Or is that streak going to continue?
00:34Well, I mean, why would they be the favorite, right, Donnie?
00:37Because you have to score runs to win games.
00:40And the Mets, this has got to be one of the worst slumps I have seen in a very long
00:45time
00:45from this lineup and from this offense.
00:48I mean, what are we talking about?
00:49Eight straight losses for the Mets.
00:52And meanwhile, you just watched the Cubs in a crazy series against Philadelphia.
00:56Runs weren't a problem.
00:58Hitting the ball, scoring runs, running around the bases.
01:01Cubs seem to have the idea of how you need to win games here.
01:04The question is, can Senga be the guy to limit the Cubs offense in order to give the Mets
01:10an opportunity to be able to, I don't know, score some runs?
01:13I do think 10 and a half is lofty.
01:17If I'm going to fade the Mets, I'm fading their team total because I don't believe even
01:21Wrigley in the afternoon with the wind blowing out can help this lineup right now.
01:26Uncle Steve saying, don't worry.
01:28We're scoring a run or two at a game.
01:30We'll just be fine here.
01:31Now let's talk about how Philadelphia Phillies got bludgeoned by the Cubs the past two games.
01:35They welcomed Atlanta into town.
01:36Key statistical information point here about the Phillies.
01:39They lost three home series last year combined.
01:41They've already lost three and we're in the first month of the series here as they take
01:45on the Braves.
01:46Taiwan walkers on the mound.
01:48Help me out.
01:49Why is it a minus one away both sides?
01:50I have no idea.
01:51That guy stinks.
01:53A total of nine and a half runs are expected here.
01:56Perez isn't a great pitcher, but my goodness, Phillies, just stay out of your own way here.
02:00Spread line for you on this one, Joe, is what?
02:02The Phillies lose?
02:04Donnie assures I'm saying if this doesn't hit double digits in the total,
02:08I'd be absolutely shocked here.
02:11If you can get under 10, then I would grab the over here.
02:15These two starting pitchers are a hot mess.
02:18Let's be realistic.
02:19I mean, it's nice, right, that you've got Perez here trying to fill in the gaps for Atlanta.
02:25Atlanta has been hitting their way to wins and series wins, Donnie.
02:29I think this is a big game for both, but I think both offenses show up here.
02:33I think this is going to be one of the most entertaining games of the night.
02:36We're going to get a lot more than nine and a half runs.
02:40Detroit taking on Boston.
02:41Casey Mize will be on the mound for the Tigers.
02:43And Rangers Suarez has been struggling to open the season up here with the Boston Red Sox.
02:47But the Red Sox are a favorite, Joe.
02:49Minus 126 as the price and a total that's listed at eight.
02:53If we're looking at Suarez at home, sooner than later,
02:55Boston wallowing in last place has to get better.
02:57But Detroit's a formidable opponent here.
02:59What's the spread line tonight for this one?
03:01Yeah.
03:02Well, this is going to be interesting.
03:03I mean, Casey Mize has actually been pretty decent here.
03:06And you're right.
03:06Ranger Suarez just not doing what the Red Sox had hoped he'd be doing
03:11and solidifying that starting rotation here.
03:14This feels like, yeah, I don't necessarily trust either lineup all that much,
03:19although that was a heck of a barn burner yesterday.
03:22I'm looking at an under here on a maybe a little bit of a chilly night here in Boston.
