00:00 (upbeat music)
00:03 - Let's take a look at a game we teased before the break,
00:05 which is the Braves and the Mets in New York.
00:07 This was supposed to be a monster series,
00:09 but no longer the case.
00:10 Charlie Morton will be on the mound here for the Braves
00:13 at a minus 186 price,
00:14 and a total that's listed at nine and a half.
00:17 McGill will be on the mound for the Mets.
00:18 Same game, Parley.
00:19 I went to this game because why?
00:21 It's the Atlanta Braves.
00:22 That's all you need to know.
00:23 Heavy favorites tonight in Citi Field.
00:26 How does it work out for you in this one, Joe?
00:29 - Well, we're talking about an Atlanta Braves team
00:32 that has lost four of its last six games here, Donny.
00:36 So it may be the quietest four out of six losses
00:41 that we have seen in a long, long time here
00:44 for the Atlanta Braves.
00:46 I mean, hey, at some point they can't win everything,
00:50 or though Matt Olsen,
00:52 I think hit his 40th bomb there yesterday.
00:55 Now, coming in and absolutely rolling.
00:59 Charlie Morton been there and done that
01:01 going up against McGill.
01:03 Listen, the fact that the Braves are under a $2 favorite
01:07 here is kind of shocking,
01:09 but what about the Mets do we think we can trust here?
01:13 I don't think we can, to tell you quite honestly here,
01:18 but this is part of a,
01:21 and correct me if I'm wrong here, Donny,
01:22 this is like a 10 or 11 game road trip for Atlanta.
01:26 It feels like it's been forever
01:27 since they've actually been home here and here they are.
01:31 It has not been a great run for them,
01:34 but nothing about the Mets wants me to back them.
01:36 The only way I would look here
01:38 is I do think the Bats will have some success
01:41 and I am expecting them to score a few runs.
01:43 So give me the team total over for Atlanta here.
