00:00Along with maybe the important game for both these teams, Craig,
00:05the Guardians and the Blue Jays.
00:06Gavin Williams on the mound for the Guardians at home.
00:10Both these teams need to keep winning games.
00:13I mean, the Blue Jays, if they're going to have a shot,
00:15they get back to the postseason.
00:17They got to keep winning these games.
00:18But the Guardians and Gavin Williams has been so good at home, is he not?
00:24Yeah, hard to go against Gavin Williams,
00:26and I think Cleveland is the better team between the two.
00:29I don't ask Max Scherzer, though.
00:30Max Scherzer thinks he's like all the way back now.
00:33He's like a superstar again.
00:35Yeah, this is a huge number.
00:37Wow, minus 180 I see over on FanDuel with a total of 7.5.
00:44What could we play here in this game?
00:47Maybe as long as Stephen Kwan is leading off in this game,
00:53I could see multiple hits from him.
00:55That may be a direction that I potentially would want to go.
00:57So as far as the side, there's nowhere to go here because I'm not going to take Toronto.
01:01That's not happening.
01:02So it would just be not laying 1.5.
01:05Total 7.5 sort of feels right here, Joe.
01:08Could be an 8, could be 7, because Williams is going to pitch six innings.
01:12He's going to give up two runs.
01:13It's usually what he does.
01:14It's more of how many runs Cleveland scores.
01:16And you know this, Joe.
01:17Cleveland usually doesn't score a lot of runs.
01:18So nothing strong for me here on this one tonight, although Kwan is a guy that I would look to
01:25because it seems like he's just getting on base a lot more often here in the second half.
01:29Yeah, he is good.
01:31That is a big number, too, for a team with such inconsistent offense.
01:36I know Arrogetti was supposed to start this game, but apparently that was a late scratch.
01:41I don't know if this is a bulk roll or what they're going to be doing here, but yikes.
01:45The Guardians here did salvage, I think, the finale of that three-game home series against
01:51Kansas City on Sunday, but wow.
01:56They did go 8-2, I think, to end the month.
01:59So they feel like they've gone in the right direction.
02:02You have always said, you thought, especially with the moves at the trade deadline, that the
02:07Guardians were a team that, yeah, I trust them, I trust them more than the White Sox.
02:12Are you still on that bandwagon?
02:15Do you still think they're better than the White Sox?
02:17And can they actually be dangerous if they can make it into the postseason?
02:22Yeah, I don't think they'd be a dangerous postseason team, Joe, but I definitely still
02:26think they can catch the White Sox.
02:27And if you think about it, after all, they were, as I've said like a million times already,
02:3110 games behind with just like 20 games to go and ended up catching them.
02:36So, yeah, I mean, I think Cleveland could definitely catch Chicago, but I don't think
02:41they'll be as hot as they were a year ago.
