00:00Chris Sayles still the favorite at plus 110. Paul Skeen's back by less than a buck at plus 210,
00:08but the big move was Zach Wheeler plus 230. He was plus 370 earlier in the week after a not so
00:16good outing against the New York Yankees during the midweek slate. What have you done for me
00:21lately? It's going to be fun to watch as it plays out. It's next man up as long as you consider to
00:25hold serve, which Zach Wheeler did needed that after that terrible last effort that he had.
00:30That was a big win for the Philadelphia Phillies in Seattle. He was the catalyst behind it going
00:34eight innings of shutout baseball. And again, Skeen's wasn't bad. You're looking at Skeen's
00:38down the stretch. I always keep on bringing this up. It was like the double doubles here for Angel
00:41Reese in the WNBA. He's got to stay just about perfect. We don't need eight innings pitch,
00:46Ben, 13 strikeouts every game to keep him in it. If you're telling me he's going to give you
00:50quality start after quality start after quality start with the occasional seven innings pitch,
00:5513 strikeouts, no hits or excuse me, no runs. He's going to get that thrown into the equation.
00:59I'm interested to see what sale does down the stretch because he has been wonderful
01:03from start to finish so far. But these final 60 days or so, I'm interested to see. It's not as
01:08if it's like, hey, Chris sales, young 26. He's got a lot of innings left in that arm. Does he
01:13fade a little bit down the stretch? And I loved when I saw, you know, post all star break Zach
01:17Wheeler go out and dominate before that Yankees game. I'm like, you know what? That's probably
01:21my guy. But you saw that big move yesterday. If Zach Wheeler is healthy down the stretch,
01:25you can expect greatness in just about every start he has for a team that's going to be vying for the
01:29top overall seed in major league baseball. So I didn't think you wanted to kick him out after
01:33that Yankees game, but it really is up to sale and schemes just to hold serve and not get blown
01:39away at that point, which I don't think they will, which makes it fascinating. Usually it's one or
01:42two people at the top. We got three guys, all legitimate chances that you can say right now
01:47and say, you know what? This guy deserves the Cy Young award. This is going to be so much fun to
01:51watch as long as Pittsburgh hangs around and schemes gets the pitch. Ben, we might come down
01:56to the last day of September and the final start from one of these guys that's going to decide the
02:00entire season long award. Great stuff.
