00:00We also have an interesting one coming up with the Tampa Bay Rays here,
00:06taking on the Texas Rangers.
00:08Quantrill for the Rangers, McClanahan for the Rays.
00:12I thought this price would be a little more expensive, but it's not, Craig, actually.
00:17It feels a little cheap for the Rays, but they're not at the drop here for this one.
00:22Yeah, and I think because they haven't played as well on the road,
00:25maybe that's what's factoring in to this one.
00:27And Quantrill has been a very big surprise to me.
00:30He was in Miami last year, didn't pitch well.
00:33The Marlins jettisoned him right around this time, about a year ago,
00:36and he ended up finishing with Atlanta.
00:38So I guess some things that I didn't know going into this game
00:42maybe is some things behind the line,
00:45which is the Rays are 6-16 in Texas in their last 22,
00:50so they just generally have not played well there at all.
00:53And I'm guessing that has something to do with this.
00:57McClanahan, 80 pitches last time out, 5-2, 3rds.
01:02He beat the Padres, and so it's the back issues that sort of plagued him all season
01:08if he gets through this game.
01:09I would imagine that he's got a good shot to win,
01:11and they can sort of put these demons behind them.
01:13But they'll play four games this series.
01:16And yeah, they have lost not only the 6-16, Joe,
01:21they've lost nine games in a row in Texas.
01:24They've lost nine in a row, dating back to 2023.
01:27So I don't think I'm going to get in front of that tonight.
01:29Give me the Rangers.
01:31Yeah, I was going to say, I don't know that I'd be getting in front of that either.
01:35Rutgers, by the way, has just thrown another touchdown.
01:39And just like that, extra point pending, it's going to be a 14-7.
01:43UMass lead, again, tread carefully in week one with these teams here.
01:51UMass about to kick the extra point, 11 and a half minutes to go in this one here.
01:57I don't know what to do with the Rangers.
02:00I really don't.
02:01Have you stuck a fork in them yet as far as trying to win the actual West?
02:05Two games behind Houston now.
02:08Is it Houston's to lose then at this point by default?
02:12Look at that price.
02:14It probably is only because there's 20-some-odd games left in the season.
02:17If there was 50, I wouldn't even think about it.
02:19But we're at the end here.
02:21You know, the Rangers, I have them ahead of Seattle still.
02:2469 and 71 is Texas.
02:27Their run differential is not great.
02:28That means that they're really not a good team.
02:31But, look, Houston, I'm assuming we can take a look or Chris can take a look at the schedule.
02:36I can almost guarantee that Houston plays Texas at some point again.
02:39I don't know when.
02:40I don't know how.
02:41I don't know where.
02:42But in the month of September, they're going to play each other.
02:44That's going to be three games, I would guess.
02:46And that could determine the division, Joe.
02:50It's going to literally come down to that on whether or not.
02:54I'm wondering what the – we'll figure out what the season series is in that one.
02:59But, my goodness, here.
03:00Texas is just a hot mess here.
03:04They don't play each other.
03:06Oh, they don't play.
03:06I'm shocking that they don't.
03:09That's a great information piece for me, just giving out false information here on the show.
03:13And Kawhi was totally innocent.
03:14Yeah.
