00:00I
00:03Take issue here with the Atlanta Braves in San Diego East
00:08versus West
00:09Does anybody consider Atlanta East?
00:12South I would get
00:14South East. Oh
00:16No, it's not
00:18You were telling our producer Joe Friezo
00:22All right
00:22I'll let that one pass that National League East versus National League West the Braves
00:28Minus 118 as a road favorite in San Diego
00:31They were right at a four-game win streak were the Atlanta Braves the RS before they lost the final two games in
00:37Arizona the Padres they were looking pretty good before meeting the D backs over the weekend now a home underdog against Atlanta
00:45By the way, I do believe back in the day
00:47The Atlanta Braves were in the NL West and in the NFL the Atlanta Falcons were also in the in the Western Conference of the Western
00:54Division which is kind of crazy that you think about it here and why the Dallas Cowboys are in the NFC
00:58East don't get me started on that at all. There's no
01:01Next week to argue the merits of that
01:04Yeah, exactly
01:05We're loading up next week with topics that we don't want to spoil this week Spencer
01:09Schwellenbach on the mound last time we saw him then very good alley against the Philadelphia Phillies
01:12We'll see if that continues today
01:13But the question is going to be Randy Vasquez the pitcher on the mound for the San Diego Padres
01:18Can he hold up against the Atlanta Braves now when we say hold up?
01:21What does that mean two three runs that the Braves typically have going up against that roster?
01:26I do think they're in a decent bounce-back spot because Vasquez at home this year 31 and two-thirds innings pitched a
01:323.41 era which isn't bad
01:34But you take a look at that XFIP number at home
01:36It balloons up to close to 5 which once again means too many walks not enough strikeouts too many fly balls here
01:42If we're lining this up and maybe Schwellenbach just needed a couple starts to calm down
01:46He should be going up against a lineup that is really talented from San Diego
01:50Keep in mind also some of the reports coming out today that we are expected to get back
01:54Xander Bogarts into the lineup that could be a boost or that we'll see if that comes up
01:59But I'm gonna trust the Atlanta Braves bounce-back spot here low scoring game. Those are the games where you trust the Braves
