00:00And how about this?
00:01You know, we talk about these two teams battling for first and second place.
00:03We have another one of those series that's going to take place Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday this week.
00:07Who is that?
00:08That's the Dodgers taking on the Pirates in San Diego.
00:11Looking at the standings right now.
00:12The Dodgers sort of resurrected themselves, going through a little bit of a bumpy stretch.
00:16But I'll say to 28 and 18, have won four games in a row.
00:18But you take a look at the Padres here.
00:20Six and four in their last 10 games, Craig.
00:2227 and 18.
00:24Pitching matchups this week.
00:25Yamamoto, Otani, and Sheehan are going to go for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
00:29King, Canning, and Vasquez on the opposite side for the Padres.
00:33Hanging in there, taking over first place.
00:35Big series, Craig, by the end of this one.
00:38Yeah, and I think I would really focus on Monday's game with Yamamoto.
00:43Because he has not looked the same as he did at the beginning of the season.
00:46And even going back into the postseason last year.
00:49So, I mean, is it possible that a lot of wear and tear on that extended season that he had
00:54last year.
00:54And pitching so deep into the World Series.
00:56Maybe that's a factor.
00:57I'm not sure.
00:57But he just, to me, hasn't looked like the same pitcher that he was.
01:01And actually, Otani's been absolutely unhittable and fantastic.
01:03But we know that when he pitches, he doesn't hit.
01:05So, another low-scoring game there, too.
01:08But Dodgers now have won several in a row.
01:10So, I would expect that to continue.
01:12And even if the Padres end up winning the division, I think the Dodgers are probably the better team.
01:17Yep.
01:17We'll see what happens on Sunday here with the St. Louis Cardinals.
01:19It's an at-home fan base where you can't get any tickets to the TARP section here.
01:24TARP section here.
01:24Right.
