00:00We've got also a Field of Dreams game coming up here in Major League Baseball.
00:06They're doing this again, just the third one, I think, that they have done.
00:11The first two, if the weather cooperates, Tom, I mean, that's the big question to me in this game.
00:18There has been, you know, a lot of rain in the Midwest where they've got this.
00:23There is some rain in the forecast here tonight, not forever.
00:27But, you know, if you get an hour rain delay, all of a sudden, Nola's out.
00:33Then all of a sudden, Taj Bradley's out.
00:35And then all of a sudden, it's a bullpen game.
00:37And then, you know, I can't give you a lot of data because they've only played two games at this
00:44park.
00:44But it is in elevation.
00:47It is elevated.
00:48It's not Denver, but there is elevation in play here.
00:51And you got to think, yeah, we could get some home runs in this game.
00:56But I'm really worried about the, oh, we got a 55-minute rain delay.
01:01And next thing you know, it's all bullpen arms rolling in.
01:05Right.
01:06So I'm seeing it right now that the humidity is through the roof.
01:11You know, 93%, 90%, whatever.
01:13It's the corn sweat going on in the Midwest as it happens every summer.
01:16However, I would say if you are buying into there's going to be potential rain and you're worried about a
01:22rain delay,
01:22it does leave the opportunity for either that hour delay, a lot of unders on pitchers.
01:27Right?
01:28Which is you take under on strikeouts for Nola, under on outs, under on this, under on that,
01:32just because, hey, he starts inning to win.
01:35All of a sudden, he's sitting for an hour.
01:36Pitchers just don't come out after that.
01:38That's just how they operate.
01:38Listen, Nola could be pitching great, but if there's an hour rain delay, he's just not coming back out.
01:43That's just what MLB teams do.
01:45So you can buy into the rain and say, hey, I'm taking unders on it.
01:48You also could say, Nola's terrible.
01:50Like, Aaron Nola is not a good pitcher.
01:52He borderline shouldn't be on an MLB roster.
01:54I'm not there yet.
01:55But you taking the under on his outs, you have two paths to victory, essentially.
01:59We have a rain delay.
02:00Or the twins and the elevation and the humidity turns out to be great hitting weather.
02:05And he gives up five runs, and he gets pulled after three or four innings.
02:10Yeah, that makes a lot of sense, too.
02:12I mean, I don't know what Aaron Nola's outs prop is, but I would imagine Taj Bradley, same thing.
02:18I mean, listen, they went out and spent a lot of money for the bullpen at the trade deadline to
02:22try to bolster it.
02:24Any rain delay, and Taj Bradley's been very good over the last month or so, Taj.
02:30I mean, he's been really, really good.
02:33The only thing that gives him issues are left-handed hitters.
02:36And the Phillies have a couple of pretty good ones.
02:40Not that they've been crushing the ball lately.
02:42But, you know, any sort of situation where, oh, let's put the tarp on the field.
02:49Yeah, I don't know what the outs prop are, but that might be a great call.
02:53Both Taj Bradley and Aaron Nola under their outs prop here.
02:57Yeah, I'm not seeing it listed on DK.
03:00It's 17.5 for Bradley, minus 128 to the over, minus 104 to the under.
03:07It's 16.5 for Nola, 125 to the under, 106 to the over.
03:12So if you think Taj Bradley's going to make it a full six innings, I think that's a bit much.
03:18And to your point, he's been good.
03:20You know, they went and got bullpen arms, but there's a couple factors.
03:24The stadium, the weather, the rain, that's where the issue could arise for him.
03:2917.5 seems a tad too high.
