00:00World Series odds for you updated. I usually give these to Scotty once a week. And the Dodgers and the Phillies are still at the top with the Yankees and the Orioles right behind them. But look who's starting to run up the board, Joe. That's Houston. That's Arizona. Braves have slid down. Padres also moving up the board now to 16. I think you were onto it earlier. Arizona's the team to start looking at.
00:30Especially since they were just there a year ago. And I think that this team may be a little bit better than the one that went to the World Series last year.
00:38I don't like the Dodgers. I don't like the Phillies. I think the Phillies took advantage of a very weak schedule in the first half of the year and they were so good.
00:50I hate to say it, but I think they played their best baseball already this year. Conversely, I think the Padres in Arizona, I think ultimately if you bet both of them at 16 to 1 now, one of them is representing the National League in the World Series because to me, I think their best baseball is still yet to come.
01:12Yeah, it seems like that when you it's always the hottest teams once you get to this point in the year.
01:20That used to be Philadelphia that way. Remember, they always did it in the second half. Never the first half. It was always the second half. And I don't know, they got fat. They got fat in April and May this year. They got fat in April and May.
01:34And I think they thought they were just going to coast. And they are going to coast, I think, to the NL East. I think they're going to coast to that division. Then what are they going to get, Joe? Another week off while all those other teams are playing. Diamondbacks and Padres are going to play, maybe even each other, in that three-game wildcard series if it comes down to it, while the Dodgers and the Phillies sit around that weekend. And I think that that's something that's really coming to play here, Joe, these last few years.
02:04Yeah.
