00:00Major League Baseball out on the West Coast in the Golden State.
00:03The New York Yankees are going to take on the Athletics.
00:05And we had a tweet from earlier in the show that said,
00:07hey, maybe baseball is viable in Sacramento and they need an expansion team.
00:11Stop the madness.
00:12And also try to stop that win streak for the New York Yankees.
00:15I don't know if you can because Rodon's on the mound tonight
00:17and it's a favorite on the West Coast at a chance of 58% to win this game outright.
00:23The yes contract on the Yankees at 59 cents,
00:26which means $100 investment on those Yanks, Joe, would pay back $1.70.
00:31I know you're looking at this game as well.
00:34Yeah, I am, Donnie.
00:36And I do like the Yankees not only to get it done,
00:39but I think you'd be crazy not to look at an over here.
00:43It's sitting at 10.
00:44It's in Sacramento.
00:46It's not a good ballpark.
00:48Rodon, by the way, also still a little rusty,
00:51still has a bit of a walk issue and a command issue.
00:53So it would not shock me, Donnie,
00:56if this is maybe the highest scoring game on the board here tonight.
01:00Yeah, total listed at 10.
01:01You think they're scoring the first inning here?
01:03That yes contract, 55 cents, which means, Joe,
01:06$100 investment pays back $182.
01:09Let's keep it on the West Coast and head on down to Los Angeles.
01:12Those Philadelphia Phillies who literally threw the playoffs away last year
01:17against the Dodgers, they're going to take them on tonight.
01:19But how about the Dodgers as a favorite?
01:21Listen, a 52% chance to win this game.
01:24Zach Wheeler has been phenomenal.
01:26A lefty by the name of Robleski is on the mound for the Dodgers.
01:29Yep, they're still favored here.
01:30Why?
01:30Because the Phillies can't hit left-handed pitching tonight.
01:33Joe, slight favorite here to the Dodgers.
01:35Is that right?
01:37Well, I mean, and Robleski doesn't strike out nearly enough guys here.
01:42He's a contact pitcher.
01:43He's a fly ball pitcher.
01:45And that might not work out all that well for the Dodgers.
01:48And on the other side, you talked about Wheeler.
01:51He's really starting to come in to his own here, Donnie.
01:55And he's got swing and miss potential.
01:57He also keeps the ball on the ground, not in the air.
02:00Yeah, I kind of like the Phillies at this price to get it done.
02:04See if those fighting Phillies can't get it done.
02:06Just looking at the standings here.
02:08Of course, the Phillies aren't in first place because the Atlanta Braves have been sensational.
02:11But looking at the West, you have the Dodgers, winners of five games in a row.
02:15The Philadelphia Phillies just swept the San Diego Padres.
02:18And also, if you feel this game, Joe, can stay under eight and a half runs.
02:21You can also take out that contract on the Calci marketplace.
02:2554 cents to the no, Joe.
02:26So, I should say eight runs or less.
02:29You cash in.
02:30A $100 investment pays back.
02:32186.
02:33Could it be a pitcher's performance on both sides tonight, Joe?
02:37Yeah, it could very well, Donnie.
02:39But that bullpen of the Dodgers is concerning.
02:42And Robleski keeps that ball up in that zone.
02:45I don't know how many strikeouts he's getting.
