00:00the Dodgers uh-oh six game losing streak uh they got swept by the Red Sox at home
00:06they figured all right we'll go away we'll take on the Cub we'll be nope got swept by the Cubs
00:12uh and now they're on a road against Arizona who for whatever reasons not always plays
00:18their best baseball August September heading into the end of the season and they're a good team too
00:26uh Arizona so I don't know I mean do we do we trust Suzuki has figured it out uh in
00:33order to
00:34bail him out here or which version of him shows up here tonight and Merrill Kelly was atrocious
00:40and then he figured it out in July so I don't I don't know who to like in this one
00:46yeah it's weird
00:48right we'll start with the Dodgers you said six straight losses two and eight their last 10 and
00:54and eight and 13 their last 21 so this is not just a little recent one week no no big
01:00deal
01:00this has lasted almost a month now eight and 13 their last 21 right Arizona 12 and seven since
01:06the all-star break including six and two their last eight not bad uh Sasaki as you mentioned on the
01:12hill he feast or famine with him Kelly you're right he was awful he was awful first half of the
01:17year
01:17he had five starts in July that were actually pretty darn good but then he got lit up last start
01:21against
01:22who Cleveland the team we just made fun of they couldn't hit their way out of a paper bag right
01:26they scored five runs off him in like five innings of work so which team are you going to get
01:30and I'll
01:31tell you Joe you know the thinking a lot of this is the Dodgers you know they got everything all
01:35wrapped up no big deal get to the postseason right well the Dodgers don't have the best record in Major
01:40League Baseball they don't even have the second best record in the National League they're behind both
01:46Milwaukee and Atlanta you know you're they're going to win the division don't get me wrong but
01:51you're looking at an opening round best of three playoff series against maybe Sanchez and Wheeler in
01:57Philadelphia maybe the Brewers maybe the Cubs maybe Atlanta um you know you don't want to face what
02:05would be Atlanta you don't want to face these teams you know in a best of three you don't want
02:10to face
02:10to peak a high in a best of three you want to get the best record so they got 40
02:14games just going to
02:15figure this thing out but it's not looking good are they really going to lose seven in a row you
02:19say right I don't think they do I think they do win tonight um I like the over in the
02:26game I think
02:26they put it together um and just uh it's a pretty good hitters ballpark in Arizona in there a couple
02:32times so I'll go with the Dodgers I think they do turn it around but um they're not playing well
02:38obviously no and listen we don't want to catch a falling knife right and it's like
02:46yikes uh Dodgers what are we doing but I do think they had off yesterday right Arizona had
02:51the game against uh the Padres uh last night uh at home though so they didn't have any travel involved
02:57I don't know is getting the run and a half here crazy to think that this is probably going to
03:02be
03:03closer if the Dodgers do win I I don't know that it's going to be Sasaki go out there strike
03:08out
03:08eight and walk 10 and that's the problem with him too and you know and he's on the road so
03:17yeah if I get a run and a half start here am I I yeah until I see them put
03:24together a bunch of wins
03:25here it's going to be hard but I'll tell you this uh Merrill Kelly 17 starts against the Dodgers
03:330 and 11 with a 5.56 ERA there Scott so uh 16 home runs and 89 innings uh he
03:43just the Dodgers are
03:46not good to Merrill Kelly so unless something crazy happens the Dodgers should be able to win so maybe
03:52Scott instead of laying a buck 60 buck 70 maybe we lay the run and a half with the Dodgers
03:58and we'll
03:58at least get we know we're going to get nine at bats right yeah getting to nine at bats you
04:04got a
04:04pitcher I will say they get the third worst record laying a run and a half in baseball 49 and
04:0966 and
04:10which is also crazy yeah I mean with that light of how is that possible right I mean geez
04:17um so but that's the only way to play it
