00:00Dodgers, by the way, play the Padres tonight. They're still favorites to win the World Series,
00:07the NL, the West. Their win total is about the same. I don't think we've learned a ton
00:11about any team, Matt, at this stage of baseball. We're still 10, 15 games in. What we've learned
00:16most are injuries are affecting players in starting pitching in Houston and Atlanta and
00:21some other places as well. But in this particular game tonight, it's always a really good rivalry
00:25between the Padres and Dodgers. Total is eight and a half in this game. Dodgers, huge
00:31favorites as they've been in virtually every game that they've played this season. But
00:35it's April, Matt, right? Like anything can happen in one game.
00:38Yeah, for sure. And I think, you know, this is probably a bigger series for the Padres
00:43than it is the Dodgers. They want to kind of show, yeah, we're going to be there. We're
00:48going to be there all year. And it's, again, like kind of what you said, it's always tough
00:53this early in the year to really, you know, look at what's happening and say, OK, I think
00:59this tells us this. I mean, it's April, but I think this is going to be a fun series.
01:05It's going to be a good little measuring stick series for the Padres once again to see where
01:09they're at competing with the Dodgers. And they're right there. I don't think they're
01:12that far behind in the grand scheme, but certainly as a team that could make the playoffs. And
01:17when when, like you mentioned, the Dodgers are as big a favorites as they are in every
01:20game, that makes me want to lean toward the underdog teams just because of the value involved.
01:26But certainly the Dodgers are still going to be there at the end of the year. They're
01:29still among the very best teams in all of baseball. So their futures to me, whatever
01:35you thought of it at the beginning of the year, it's still what you should think of
01:38it now. And if you think there's value there, which I don't particularly, but if you do,
01:43then by all means, you know, try to get access to Shohei Otani's bank account and make a
01:47few bets, I suppose. But it's going to be an interesting series.
