00:00Blue Jays and the Giants this week interleague series you don't see this series happen that
00:04often and you know the marquee matchup probably Wednesday with Dylan Cease and Logan Webb who's
00:12having a tough start to his July nothing really scares me on paper for either team here but I
00:18would say that both teams as you said Tom probably had higher aspirations back in April than they do
00:22right now Giants getting ready to make some trades I would guess and you know what Blue Jays could be
00:27in that same spot I know that they're gonna fight but I would ask you know the Blue Jays and
00:32their
00:32front office how they think about the team in August if they're sitting under 500 chasing New York and
00:37Tampa Bay probably time to punt yeah I would look at this series as you know a lot of lack
00:43of scoring
00:43a lot of unders potentially and I would like to say that the Logan Webb start for the Giants would
00:49be a good showcase for him you know you know against another dominant pitch another AL Cy Young
00:56candidate that they could put Webb out there and that would be a good showcase for him right before
01:00the all-star break right before the trade deadline to up his value to kind of right the ship after
01:05a
01:05couple rough starts to start July and that would be a good spot say hey Logan Webb is the pitcher
01:10that
01:10we believe in be and then look to trade him at a certain point but I'm not sure if the
01:14Giants are
01:15going to do that I think that's what they should be doing but a lack of scoring is what the
01:18series is
01:19probably going to bring us Houston takes on Washington and Houston believe it or not with
01:25this horrendous season that they're having their run differential horrible no pitching whatsoever
01:30they're still right in the mix for the playoffs I mean Jordan Alvarez should win the MVP because
01:35without him I think Houston would be 10 games under 500 I got no data on that but look at
01:40these pitching
01:41matchups for Houston I mean Burroughs yuck in my yuck Arrogetti he's been good I guess you know he's
01:47been one of their stars this season but I favor Washington pretty heavily in this series and I
01:53mean look I can't look at Houston and think that they're anything but fool's gold here but the
01:59problem is Tom is that Houston is probably about to hit a rebuild button you know and the GM is
02:04probably looking at this like I don't want to do that because I want to stay around and I want
02:07to
02:07keep my job I don't I don't know this is this one to me Tommy what Houston does comes down
02:13to the
02:14owner you know like Jim Crane I wonder what he is thinking here because it could be dangerous if
02:19they trade prospects and try and fight for a season which by the way Houston's going nowhere
02:23even if they win the division they're not good enough and I would say you know outside of Griffin
02:28we spoke about at the beginning of the show Kate Cavalli has been pretty solid for the Nats I I
02:33know
02:33a little bit of controversy in his last start against Boston he looked really good in that you know
02:38some some semantics go or some some shenanigans going on in that start uh with some hit batters and
02:43whatnot but he's been solid Griffin's been solid we got to be favoring the Nats in this series and
02:48Craig this is going to be a series where the first team to score eight runs wins a game
02:52right it's just that's what eight to six final score nine to seven whatever it's going to be
02:55you have to score runs both pitching staffs and bullpens are not good score runs and win the game
03:03Rockies take on the Dodgers you talk about a mismatch here this is one absolutely on paper although
03:08the Rockies are hitting the crap out of the ball lately I saw them against Miami they've continued
03:11that this weekend but uh you talk about a lack of pitching for the Rockies it's it's there yet
03:16again so Kyle Freeland are you kidding me Kyle Freeland has to go pitch in LA I guess he looks
03:22on the other side and says it's Lauer so maybe you have a shot Lorenzen boy did he cash out
03:27on his
03:28season taking that money that he did from the Rockies he's having a horrendous season walking
03:32everybody gives up hits and then they signed uh a pitcher uh Fletner who's going to start against
03:37Sasaki Sasaki not great himself but he talked about seven five games ten eight games these are
03:42probably them this weekend I think the Rockies are gonna hit like they can they do have a pretty
03:46good lineup six seven guys that can hit but uh I I think this series in particular and I don't
03:53know
03:53when it starts okay it starts Monday you're I think you're gonna get potentially a minus 350 on a line
04:00this week this week we haven't seen many of them but I think we're gonna get some of the biggest
04:04odds
04:04this week of any series this year you know you said that uh you know Freeland has to go to
04:08the
04:09Dodgers and pitch I I thankfully he doesn't have to be at home and pitch against the Dodgers
04:13at course field in the summer uh because we are we are going to see some crazy outcomes for this
04:18and
04:19uh this is a series where you know you can get good stuff from a Hunter Goodman who's been awesome
04:25you can get some you know fancy production out of your Rockies players if you had them but this is
04:29all
04:30about the Dodgers and it's just a matter of how much the Dodgers are going to win by
