00:00Do you believe the Mets can jump the Braves and go for it against the Phillies, particularly
00:10the way the Phillies have looked over the last month?
00:13They've looked terrible.
00:14Yeah.
00:15Yeah.
00:16And that's the whole thing I've said with the, uh, with the Philly, Scotty, you and
00:20I both know that the Phillies were always a team you wanted to back in the second half
00:25of the season.
00:26Why?
00:27Because that was when they started to come into their own.
00:30This year, the Phillies came out blasting and everyone's like, Oh my God, did they peak
00:36too soon?
00:37Scotty?
00:38Because to me, I think the Phillies problem is they might've played their best baseball
00:42too early and now it's going to be downhill from here.
00:46So I'm with you.
00:47I think Atlanta and the Mets are very much more alive than people want to give them credit
00:51for here rather than Philadelphia.
00:54Let's look at the odds for the, uh, NL East and see, uh, as we looked before, Philly still
01:02minus six bills, Atlanta plus four 25, look at those odds for the Mets.
01:07Oh my God.
01:09Yeah.
01:10They're not giving them.
01:11Yeah.
01:12Well, the Phillies took advantage of a very weak schedule early and took total advantage
01:16of, you know, else did that Tampa did that last year.
01:19Scott, if you remember, they came out red hot in April and may, they only lost like
01:24five games and then they sucked in the second half and barely limped in.
01:28And that was what I fear is going to happen to Philadelphia here, but they want enough
01:33games to be worthy of that price at this point.
