00:03 Here's how I know Dave hasn't seen this then.
00:06 And this is going to be really interesting
00:07 then to see your reaction.
00:09 So they moved it.
00:11 42 strikeouts.
00:13 How many?
00:15 42.
00:16 It's 151 and 1/2.
00:21 Wow.
00:23 Wow.
00:25 So--
00:26 What if it-- wow.
00:28 I wish I had over and I play under right now.
00:30 I mean, that's--
00:31 Well--
00:32 So there's no way to know how to move this.
00:35 That's the interesting thing.
00:38 I still think-- I mean, he looks relatively healthy.
00:41 But one--
00:42 Yes.
00:45 100%.
00:46 You lose.
00:47 I wouldn't create a 42 strikeout middle
00:50 if it was me doing it.
00:51 They're still going to go with a six-man rotation.
00:57 So we know how many starts he has.
00:59 Talk it through.
01:00 What do you think?
01:02 OK, so here's-- I yesterday ended up--
01:06 I was supposed to talk about this for two quick throwaway
01:09 minutes and did a full 10 on this without you here.
01:12 So you could-- if I lose my 104 and 1/2, that's fine.
01:16 That's fine.
01:18 But if-- I didn't feel panicked on my bets after two games.
01:24 I'm not saying I felt great.
01:27 But it's irrelevant.
01:29 He had two great starts.
01:30 But think of it like this.
01:31 His strikeout prop is worth 6 and 1/2 and 6 and 1/2,
01:35 if I'm not mistaken.
01:36 Right?
01:37 Yeah.
01:39 So let's just say, what would they have hung his number
01:41 at through two starts?
01:43 How many strikeouts will Skeens get through his first two
01:45 career starts?
01:46 13 and 1/2?
01:48 Flat 14?
01:50 He beat it by--
01:52 OK, so you call it a flat 14.
01:54 He beat it by four.
01:56 Correct.
01:56 He added 42 and 1/2 to the number.
02:00 I think what happened is a lot of people--
02:03 Somebody thinks he's getting another start or two.
02:07 I think the 100 pitches and six innings, people went, oh,
02:10 so this is what we're doing.
02:12 Now, you can tell me if you disagree,
02:13 because some of the guys I was talking to disagreed.
02:15 I feel like he got maybe an extra inning
02:17 because it was a no hitter.
02:19 Oh, without a doubt.
02:22 Without a doubt.
02:23 And it was a scoreless game until the Pirates
02:26 took the lead.
02:27 So look, they're going to leave him in, ideally,
02:32 through the fifth to get decisions.
02:36 So but I don't think they're looking
02:39 to stretch him out right now.
02:42 (upbeat music)
