00:01They're a very good team. There's no question about it. They're an excellent team. They could
00:04win it all. The odds are not with them right now because, frankly, being in the National League is
00:10a real detriment. They've got to get through a real gauntlet in the National League. I believe
00:15that the four best teams are in the National League. A GM with another National League team
00:21took issue with that. He said it should be the five best teams are in the National League.
00:26Right now, I've got the Yankees as number five, but the Cubs are in that top four. The thing is,
00:32the Dodgers look, you know, I mean, I want to say the greatest rotation ever at this point.
00:38They're not all together yet, but in terms of talent, if they are all together, it may be the
00:44most talented rotation ever. They have the top two pitchers in baseball, in my mind, in Yamamoto
00:50and Skubal. Snell has come back two times Cy Young winner. That's the number three starter.
00:56Glasnow has now come back. Very talented guy. Obviously, he's had injury issues in the past.
01:01And, of course, Otani, probably the greatest player ever as your number five starter. You know,
01:06it's tough to beat them. That's why their odds are lower than two to one to win the World Series.
01:10We never see that. And we're talking about a team that doesn't even have the best record
01:15in baseball right now, right? I mean, Milwaukee's got the best record. And everybody's saying,
01:20well, it's going to be the Dodgers. And on paper, it probably should be that they win their third in
01:25a row. So they're a heavy favorite. But after them, and you never know what happens in the playoffs,
01:31certainly. And they may not get a bye. They may have to go through that three-game series again.
01:35So we shall see. But I do believe the Cubs are the third or fourth best team in baseball. But
01:41that's also the third or fourth best team in the National League. And, you know,
01:47someone's going to have to knock off the Dodgers to prove it.
