00:00You know, we talked about it early last week and said, boy, each game matters as we head into the
00:06trade deadline. Well, I'm still not quite sure who's going to be a buyer and who's going to be
00:11a seller by the time we get to the trade deadline. But I can tell you this, these games that
00:17are
00:17about to start, Miami at home taking on Philadelphia. Miami's lost 12 in a row here, Tom.
00:23This series matters as far as whether or not Miami might be holding Pat or let's face it,
00:31this was a team that was six games over 500. They won 20 games in June. I mean, this was
00:38a legit,
00:39you know, team that was going to make a run and then you lose 12 games straight. And just like
00:45that,
00:46Sandy Alcantara could be wearing a Yankee uniform. So this series and it starts tonight. The problem
00:52is they got to go up against Zach Wheeler, which is not good news for them.
00:56No, the Marlins, as you said, were essentially the talk of the town for baseball in June.
01:01All-Star break comes around and they haven't won since July 9th, if memory serves me correct.
01:07Three straight losses prior to the All-Star break. A very, very tough series on paper.
01:13Now, we talked about this a little bit earlier. The Phillies have been struggling this side of
01:16the All-Star break. Now, they started off immediately on that random Thursday game against the Mets.
01:21You know, they lost two out of three versus the Dodgers. They lost two out of three versus the
01:25Yankees. They did win last night. They go for their Sunday night team that's traveling on the road
01:30against the, you know, a team that is struggling massively. I think the price is a bit much on
01:36the Phillies on that money line, even though it's Zach Wheeler. The first five under is where I'm
01:41looking. I'm not sure we're going to get a whole lot of offense to start the game. I'm not sure
01:45we're
01:45going to get a whole lot of offense throughout the entirety of that game. So Wheeler's been great,
01:49but the Marlins can win this, but it has to be a lower scoring game for them to get it
01:53across.
